The Baltimore Orioles are struggling with a 65-69 record as of August 28, 2026, raising concerns about manager Craig Albernaz's future. After an offseason hire, Albernaz's tenure could end if the team fails to perform in the crucial stretch leading to the postseason. With the team sitting just 3.0 games out of a Wild Card spot, there remains a chance for a late-season surge. However, if Baltimore continues to underperform, Albernaz may not return for a second season.
