The Orioles placed O'Neill on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Aug. 6, due to right wrist inflammation, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
O'Neill jammed his wrist against the outfield wall Tuesday, and while his X-rays returned negative, the Orioles will give him an extended period of rest. Jordyn Adams was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk as part of a series of moves Friday. Look for Adams, Jeremiah Jackson and Greg Allen to see most of the work in right field while O'Neill is idle.

Rotowire
O'Neill (wrist) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Philadelphia.
O'Neill was removed from Tuesday's 5-0 loss after jamming his right wrist against the outfield wall, so it's no surprise he's sitting out Wednesday's matinee. X-rays came back clean, but interim manager Tony Mansolino said that O'Neill will undergo an MRI during Thursday's team off day as the Orioles look to gain more information regarding the severity of the injury, per Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com. Jeremiah Jackson will handle right field Wednesday in place of O'Neill, who can be viewed as day-to-day heading into Baltimore's weekend series versus the Athletics.

Orioles' Tyler O'Neill: X-rays negative
Rotowire
X-rays on O'Neill's right wrist came back negative following his removal from Tuesday's game against the Phillies, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
O'Neill took an additional at-bat after jamming his wrist against the outfield wall, but he was unable to play through his injury for the whole game. Now that he's been confirmed to have avoided structural damage, the 30-year-old outfielder should be able to avoid the injured list. However, Baltimore may hold him out for a game or two so he can properly recover.

Orioles' Tyler O'Neill: Back in action Monday
Rotowire
O'Neill (illness) will start at designated hitter and bat fifth in Monday's game against the Phillies.
O'Neill was held out of the lineup for the final two games of the Orioles' weekend series in Chicago, but a couple days off was all that the 30-year-old needed to move past an apparently minor illness. He'll serve as Baltimore's DH on Monday but could see most of his playing time in the corner outfield if the Orioles activate Ryan Mountcastle (hamstring) from the injured list later this week, as expected.

Orioles' Tyler O'Neill: Goes yard in victory
Rotowire
O'Neill went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 9-6 extra-inning win over Atlanta.
In his second game since returning from the injured list, O'Neill crushed his third homer of the year. The 30-year-old slugging outfielder has hit eighth in each of these two outings, although it's possible he'll eventually work his way back into the heart of Baltimore's lineup after hitting somewhere between third and sixth in each of his first 18 contests of the season. Given that he's still slashing a woeful .193/.284/.352 with three long balls, three doubles, one triple and 11 RBI through 102 plate appearances, O'Neill likely still has work to do before interim manager Tony Mansolino considers moving him up the batting order.
