| 6/12/25 | Orioles stars were once demoted, giving Heston Kjerstad a path to follow. Tuesday wasn't Heston Kjerstad's first time being optioned to Triple-A. But it was the first time it happened because of his performance. After impressing at the plate despite sporadic playing time the past two seasons, Kjerstad spent the past six weeks mired in a slump — batting .164 with a .468 OPS — that he wasn't able to hit his way out of. When Cedric Mullins came off the injured list Tuesday, Kjerstad suffered the same fate — a demotion to the minors — that many of his Orioles teammates have in the past. Jackson Holliday, who was optioned about two weeks after his MLB debut last April because of his high-profile struggles, knows the disappointment, the frustration, the self-doubt that Kjerstad is feeling.

| 4/01/25 | Two Pro Hogs Hit Career Milestones During MLB Opening Week. FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — MLB Opening Week is upon us and former Arkansas players are well represented on major league rosters. Four Razorbacks are on 26-man rosters and have all made their season debuts. Heston Kjerstad (Baltimore Orioles) Andrew Benintendi (Chicago White Sox), Jalen Beeks (Arizona Diamondbacks) and Ryne Stanek (New York Mets) all broke Spring Training with their respective clubs. Pitcher Trevor Stephan is also on the Cleveland Guardians, but is sidelined with an elbow injury that requires surgery.

| 12/31/24 | Baltimore Orioles' Most Likely Trade Candidates Include Expiring Contracts. The Baltimore Orioles have a great mix of a young players and guys that have been around for a couple of years, but it may be time for another changing of the guard. With young Orioles players like Heston Kjerstad, Coby Mayo and potentially Samuel Basallo trying to find at-bats at the MLB level, some veterans with expiring contracts could be on the move. A lot of it will depend on how things develop during spring training and the first thre months of the season leading up to the trade deadline. Mountcastle is a similar case to O'Hearn, but has two more years of team control to work with, which may make him more valuable to other teams — and provide Baltimore a higher pay-off.
