Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Acquired from the Astros at the 2022 trade deadline, McDermott made his major-league debut in 2024 with a spot start for the Orioles shortly after the All-Star break. Most of his season was spent at Triple-A Norfolk, where he held a 3.78 ERA with 144 strikeouts but also 60 walks over an even 100 innings. McDermott has fanned batters at a robust 33.7 clip during his time in the minors, but that's been undermined somewhat by a 13.8 percent walk rate. The 26-year-old also missed much of the second half last season with a shoulder problem, although he finished the year healthy. McDermott has the stuff to be at least a mid-rotation starter but will need to throw more strikes before the Orioles can trust him with a rotation spot. Read Past Outlooks
Activated and optioned
The Orioles reinstated McDermott (lat) from the 15-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Baltimore has an opening in its rotation during the upcoming week after demoting Charlie Morton to the bullpen, but McDermott apparently isn't being viewed as a candidate to fill the void while he builds back up from the right lat strain that kept him out for all of spring training and the first month of the regular season. McDermott kicked off his rehab assignment with Double-A Chesapeake this past Sunday before moving up to Norfolk for his second start Saturday, when he struck out three over four scoreless innings. The 26-year-old righty tossed 57 pitches in that outing, but once he gets stretched out into the 75-to-90-pitch range at Triple-A, he could be a more realistic option for the big-league rotation.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
MLB debut on tap?
Manager Brandon Hyde wouldn't comment on Baltimore's starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Marlins, but McDermott is on the taxi squad and appears set to get the nod, reports Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com.
ANALYSIS
Perhaps Hyde will officially announce the starter following Tuesday's contest, but for now he's showing some gamesmanship. McDermott is one of the Orioles' top prospects and has a 3.96 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 129:54 K:BB across 91 innings with Triple-A Norfolk this year. The swing-and-miss stuff is certainly there, but he'll likely need to improve upon a 5.3 BB/9 in order to succeed in the majors.
