Orioles consider cutting reliever Keegan Akin amid roster challenges

The Baltimore Orioles could release reliever Keegan Akin, who holds an 8.64 ERA this season. As the team sits eight games out of first place in the AL East, his inconsistent performances have raised concerns, alongside the struggles of outfielder Tyler O'Neil. O'Neil has posted a.495 OPS while Akin has improved slightly with one run allowed in his last five outings. The team may prioritize roster stability as they vie for a Wild Card spot.
