Mar 24 2025The Pirates informed Stewart on Monday that he won't be included on the Opening Day roster, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He had been in the mix for reps at first base while Spencer Horwitz (wrist) is sidelined to begin the season, but Stewart ultimately will not head north with the big club. Stewart has an opt-out clause in his minor-league contract and will likely exercise it, allowing him to become a free agent and pursue options elsewhere.
Mar 19 2025Stewart remains in the mix to win the Pirates' first base job to begin the regular season, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart is in camp as a non-roster invitee and has remained in contention to fill in for the injured Spencer Horwitz (wrist) by collecting 10 hits across 33 Grapefruit League at-bats, including six extra-base knocks. However, Stewart has also struck out 12 times while walking only three times. Billy Cook and Nick Yorke appear to be the other primary candidates, both of whom are already on the 40-man roster.
Feb 22 2025Stewart went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double and three RBI in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart is in camp as a non-roster invitee, but his chances of cracking the Opening Day roster will improve if Spencer Horwitz (wrist) remains sidelined. One Spring Training performance won't seal Stewart's fate, but he did make a good impression by driving in two with a double in the first inning before following that up with a solo home run two frames later.
Feb 12 2025Pirates general manager Ben Cherington said Wednesday that Stewart will see some action at first base in the wake of the Spencer Horwitz (thumb) injury, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Horwitz is slated to begin the season on the injured list following surgery last week on his right wrist/thumb. Stewart, a non-roster invitee, is primarily an outfielder, but he did start a game at first base last season for the Mets and saw a decent amount of action at the position in the minors over the last two years. Jared Triolo, Billy Cook and Darick Hall are also candidates to play first base while Horwitz is out.
Sep 14 2024The Mets optioned Stewart to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart went 1-for-4 with three strikeouts while appearing in two games during his latest stint in the majors, and he'll now be sent back to the minors in favor of Luisangel Acuna. Stewart may still return to Queens before the end of the season, though he's unlikely to serve as more than bench depth.
Sep 8 2024The Mets recalled Stewart from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Jeff McNeil (wrist) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move to open up a spot on the 28-man active roster for Stewart. Over 190 plate appearances in the big leagues this season, Stewart is slashing .175/.326/.299 with five home runs and 19 RBI.
Sep 5 2024The Mets optioned Stewart to Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He joined the club earlier this week when J.D. Martinez went on paternity leave, but with Martinez back on the active roster Stewart will head back to the minors. Stewart got one start during his most recent stint with the big club, going 1-for-3 with a run scored.
Sep 2 2024The Mets recalled Stewart from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With J.D. Martinez set to miss the next several games while on paternity leave, Stewart will now come up from the minors to fill the open roster spot and could potentially fill in as the Mets' designated hitter. Since being sent to Syracuse in July, the 30-year-old has slashed .275/.444/.435 across 90 plate appearances.
Jul 28 2024The Mets optioned Stewart to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The move is to make room on the 26-man roster for outfielder Jesse Winker, who was acquired by the Mets on Saturday. Stewart has struggled in July, batting 3-for-25 with six walks and eight strikeouts, and has a slash line of .172/.326/.298 across 187 major-league plate appearances this season.
Jun 26 2024Stewart is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Yankees, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Mets have faced two right-handers since Starling Marte (knee) went on the 10-day injured list and the left-handed-hitting Stewart hasn't started either one of them, as the club has gone with Tyrone Taylor in right field for both contests. While Stewart should still get his fair share of reps in the outfield while Marte is out, it's clear manager Carlos Mendoza isn't planning to use a strict platoon in right field.
Jun 25 2024Stewart could handle the strong side of a platoon in left field with Tyrone Taylor while Starling Marte (knee) is on the injured list, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Mets do have other options to replace Marte, including shifting Jeff McNeil to left and giving Jose Iglesias more time at second base, but some form of a Stewart-Taylor timeshare is the most likely scenario. Stewart has provided value at the plate against right-handers this season, slashing .204/.350/.372 with five homers over 140 plate appearances in that split, but Taylor is the better defensive outfielder.
Jun 18 2024Stewart went 2-for-6 with a three-run home run and a second run scored in Monday's win over the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Getting the start in right field and batting fifth, Stewart ripped a first-pitch fastball from Jon Gray down the right-field line in the second inning, giving the Mets an early 7-0 lead in an eventual 14-2 rout. The blast ended a 32-game homer drought for Stewart, with his last long ball coming April 30 -- in between, he slashed a woeful .145/.299/.182 with just two RBI in 67 plate appearances. The 30-year-old has seen his playing time largely evaporate with J.D. Martinez handling everyday duties at DH, and even if he heats up at the plate, Stewart's role isn't likely to change much.
May 29 2024Stewart is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart had started in each of the past four games while Harrison Bader received two days off and with Starling Marte and J.D. Martinez both resting once. With the exception of catcher Francisco Alvarez (thumb), the Mets have all their key hitters available at the moment, so Stewart still looks to be part-time player despite the recent uptick in starting opportunities.
May 13 2024Stewart went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Sunday's win over Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Getting the start in left field with Brandon Nimmo nursing an intercostal issue, Stewart did a credible job as the leadoff hitter. Nimmo wound up pinch hitting a slugging a walk-off homer in the ninth inning however, so the assignment for Stewart was purely a short-term one. The 30-year-old has played well enough to keep a bench job even after J.D. Martinez joined the big-league roster, and Stewart sports a .206/.389/.426 slash line on the season with four homers and 16 RBI in 90 plate appearances.
Apr 29 2024Stewart is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart is on the bench for the third time in five games. As expected, he's become the odd man out of the Mets' everyday lineup versus right-handed pitching after New York added designated hitter J.D. Martinez to the 26-man active roster Friday.
Apr 24 2024Stewart is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Southpaw Blake Snell is on the hill for the Giants, so the left-handed-hitting Stewart will begin Wednesday's game on the bench. Starling Marte will serve as the Mets' designated hitter in Stewart's stead, and with J.D. Martinez potentially set to report to the big club this weekend, Stewart's time as New York's primary DH may have already come to an end.
Apr 20 2024Stewart went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's win over the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 30-year-old drove a 96.3 mph fastball from Yoshinobu Yamamoto deep to right field in the second inning to open the scoring with a solo shot, then chipped in runs later in the contest with a sacrifice fly and a single. Stewart has hit safely in six of his last seven games, batting .368 (7-for-19) over that stretch with all three of his homers and all 10 of his RBI on the season. J.D. Martinez (back) will eventually join the roster as the full-time DH, but Stewart is doing what he can to prove he should remain in a prominent role once that happens.
Apr 17 2024Stewart is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Stewart will take a seat for the fourth straight game, with three of his absences from the lineup coming against southpaws. Stewart still looks to be the Mets' preferred option at designated hitter against right-handed pitching while J.D. Martinez's (back) season debut is still at least a week away.
Apr 16 2024Stewart is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart was held out of the lineup the past two games with the Mets facing left-handed starters, and he's sitting again Tuesday with righty Jared Jones pitching for Pittsburgh. Francisco Alvarez will rest his legs as the designated hitter while Omar Narvaez receives a start behind the plate.
Apr 14 2024Stewart is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart will take a seat to begin Sunday's game while the Royals bring left-hander Cole Ragans to the hill. With Stewart on the bench, Starling Marte will serve as the Mets' designated hitter, and Tyrone Taylor will draw a start in right field.
Apr 9 2024Stewart went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Monday's win over Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 30-year-old came into the game having gone 0-for-10 to start the season, but Stewart broke a 5-5 tie in the eighth inning by launching a Pierce Johnson curveball over the fence in center field. Stewart has been the Mets' regular DH against right-handed pitching to begin the season, but he'll lose that role -- and potentially even his spot on the 26-man roster -- when J.D. Martinez (body soreness) is ready to make his debut for the club.
Apr 7 2024Stewart is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Stewart is on the bench for the second day in a row while Cincinnati brings southpaw Andrew Abbott to the hill for the series finale. With manager Carlos Mendoza noting earlier Sunday that J.D. Martinez (general body soreness) isn't in line to make his Mets debut until at least Friday, Stewart should retain a role as the team's primary designated hitter during its four-game series in Atlanta to begin the upcoming week.
Apr 6 2024Stewart isn't in the Mets' lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After starting the year 0-for-8, Stewart will step out of New York's lineup Saturday to regroup. His absence will shift Brandon Nimmo into the DH spot, allowing Tyrone Taylor to start in left field.
Apr 4 2024Stewart isn't in the Mets' lineup for Game 2 of Thursday's twin bill against the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart failed to record a hit in two at-bats during the first game of Thursday's slate, making him 0-for-9 to begin the new campaign. His absence will move Brandon Nimmo into the DH spot, allowing Tyrone Taylor to start in left field while batting sixth.
Mar 31 2024Stewart is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart went 0-for-2 with a walk and two strikeouts Opening Day but is on the bench Sunday for the second straight game. Francisco Alvarez is resting his legs as the designated hitter while Omar Narvaez receives a look behind the plate.
Mar 30 2024Stewart isn't in the Mets' lineup for Saturday's game against the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart went 0-for-2 with a walk as the Mets' Opening Day DH, and he'll catch a breather Saturday as southpaw DL Hall prepares to start on the mound for Milwaukee. Starling Marte will slide into the DH spot while Tyrone Taylor starts in right field and bats fourth against his former team.
Mar 29 2024Stewart is starting at designated hitter and batting sixth Friday against the Brewers, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Mets have some at-bats available at DH on a short-term basis as J.D. Martinez ramps up after signing late, and Stewart looks like he'll receive the bulk of them versus righties. Stewart collected an .840 OPS with 11 home runs in a 58-game sample for the Mets last season, with 10 of those 11 homers coming off right-handers.
Mar 16 2024Stewart went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Getting the start in left field and batting leadoff, Stewart took Trevor Williams deep in the first inning for his first long ball of the spring. The 30-year-old outfielder revived his career with the Mets last season, but he slumped in September and hasn't looked any better at the plate in camp, batting .200 (5-for-25) with Friday's homer being his only extra-base hit. He's still penciled into a spot on the Mets' Opening Day bench.
Sep 27 2023Stewart is absent from the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Marlins, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Marlins are throwing southpaw Braxton Garrett, so the left-handed hitting Stewart will take a seat. He'll likely be back in the lineup for the nightcap, when the Mets are scheduled to face righty Johnny Cueto.
Sep 26 2023Stewart is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tim Locastro, Brandon Nimmo and Jeff McNeil will start across the outfield for the Mets as they take on left-hander Braxton Garrett. Stewart has batted just .188 with a .694 OPS in 41 plate appearances versus southpaws this year. He carries a .959 OPS in 126 plate appearances versus righties.
Sep 23 2023Stewart (wrist) will bat fifth and play right field Saturday against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart had been out since Tuesday while dealing with a sore wrist. He's hit .264/.342/.557 in 50 games for the Mets this season and could get plenty of opportunities over the final eight games.
Sep 22 2023Stewart (wrist) remains out of the lineup Friday at Philadelphia. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart is on the Mets' bench for a third straight game due to lingering wrist discomfort. Rafael Ortega, Brandon Nimmo and Jeff McNeil will start across the outfield Friday versus the Phillies and right-hander Taijuan Walker.
Sep 21 2023Stewart (wrist) isn't in the Mets' lineup Thursday against the Phillies, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart was seen with an ice wrap around his wrist Wednesday, and the issue is apparently still severe enough to hold him out of Thursday's contest. Tim Locastro, Brandon Nimmo and Jeff McNeil will make up the Mets' outfield while Stewart recovers.
Sep 20 2023Stewart was scratched from the lineup Wednesday at Miami due to an apparent wrist injury, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart was spotted with a large ice wrap on his wrist before the game, though there's no word yet as to the severity of the issue. Jeff McNeil will shift from left field to right field as Rafael Ortega enters the Mets' lineup in left.
Sep 9 2023Stewart (back) is starting in right field and batting sixth Saturday against Minnesota. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Back tightness has kept Stewart out of the Mets' last three games, but the issue has seemingly subsided ahead of Saturday's contest. The 29-year-old outfielder was on a tear before missing time with four home runs across his last five games.
Sep 8 2023Stewart (back) is out of the lineup again Friday at Minnesota. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart hasn't played since Sunday due to lower-back tightness, though he might have been held out Friday either way as the Mets prepare to face left-hander Dallas Keuchel. Tim Locastro is covering left field and Mark Vientos will handle DH duties.
Sep 6 2023Stewart (back) remains absent from the lineup Wednesday against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart will miss a second straight game due to lower-back tightness. Jeff McNeil, Brandon Nimmo and Rafael Ortega are starting across the outfield for the visiting Mets as they take on right-hander Joan Adon.
Sep 5 2023Stewart is out of the lineup Tuesday at Washington due to lower-back tightness, Britt Ghiroli of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart might have been on the bench anyway with the Nationals throwing left-hander Patrick Corbin, but this back discomfort is something to monitor moving forward. Stewart has put up a stellar .971 OPS with 10 homers and 21 RBI across 39 games (114 plate appearances) since being selected to the Mets' major-league roster in June.
Aug 30 2023Stewart went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and four RBI in a 6-5 extra-inning win against Texas on Wednesay. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart paired with Daniel Vogelbach for the second of back-to-back jacks in the second inning and added a two-run shot in the eighth. He also was credited with a walk-off RBI when he was hit by a pitch with the based loaded in the 10th. Stewart has been red-hot for about two weeks, belting eight long balls and collecting 15 RBI while batting .378 over his past 13 contests. Prior to the power surge, Stewart had swatted just one home run while hitting .171 over his first 24 games of the season.
Aug 29 2023Stewart went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart's hot run continued Monday with a solo homer off Jon Gray in the fifth inning, extending New York's lead to 3-0. Over his last 12 games, Stewart's gone 15-for-41(.366) with six home runs and a 1.287 OPS. The 29-year-old outfielder is up to seven long balls through just 35 games this season, putting him five shy of his career high set in 2021. Overall, Stewart's slashing .268/.351/.585 with 14 RBI and 10 runs scored across 95 plate appearances this season as he's earned a consistent starting role with the Mets.
Aug 29 2023Stewart is absent from the lineup Tuesday versus the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tim Locastro, Brandon Nimmo and Jeff McNeil will start across the outfield as the Mets deploy a righty-heavy attack against left-hander Andrew Heaney. The left-handed-hitting Stewart is sitting on a .936 OPS through 35 games (96 plate appearances) with New York.
Aug 24 2023Stewart went 2-for-3 with two doubles in Wednesday's loss to Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He was the only Met to even get a hit off Charlie Morton in a 7-0 loss, rapping two-baggers off the veteran righty in the fifth and seventh innings to continue the outfielder's impressive hot streak. Stewart has started eight of the last nine games, collecting multiple hits in five of them and batting .393 (11-for-28) with two doubles, five homers and nine RBI.
Aug 22 2023Stewart went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Monday's 10-4 victory over Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 29-year-old lefty put New York on the board in the second inning with a solo shot off Allan Winans. The longball was Stewart's fifth in his last six games, elevating his OPS to an eye-popping 1.579 over this torrid stretch. Since his call-up from Triple-A Syracuse on July 4, Stewart owns a slash line of .246/.338/.574 with six home runs, 12 RBI and nine runs scored across 72 plate appearances.
Aug 19 2023Stewart went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Saturday's 13-2 win over the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart tagged starter Miles Mikolas for a solo shot in the fourth frame, marking his fourth long ball in as many games after going homerless in 17 straight outings. Stewart is slashing .241/.344/.556 with five homers, 10 RBI and eight runs scored through 27 games this season.
Aug 17 2023Stewart went 2-for-4 with two homers and three RBI in Wednesday's 8-3 victory over Pittsburgh. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart took Johan Oviedo deep in his first at-bat of the game to give the Mets an early 1-0 lead. The right fielder then crushed his second long ball of the contest, this time a two-run shot, in the bottom of the fifth to put New York up by four runs. Stewart has now homered and collected two hits in back-back games, driving in five runs over that brief stretch.
Aug 15 2023Stewart is out of the lineup again Tuesday versus the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart has batted just .171 with a .593 OPS in 51 plate appearances since being selected to the Mets' major-league roster in early July. Brandon Nimmo, Tim Locastro and Jeff McNeil will start across the outfield Tuesday. Mark Vientos is taking a turn in the DH role as Danny Mendick handles third base.
Aug 14 2023Stewart is out of the lineup Monday versus the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brandon Nimmo, Rafael Ortega and Jeff McNeil will start across the outfield for the Mets. Jonathan Arauz is covering second base. Stewart has gone hitless with seven strikeouts over his last 17 plate appearances.
Aug 12 2023Stewart is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader with Atlanta, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart will take a seat after he went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout in Game 1 on Saturday. Jeff McNeil will start in right field while Danny Mendick enters the lineup at second base and bats eighth against Atlanta.
Aug 11 2023Stewart (wrist) isn't in the Mets' lineup Friday against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart was scratched from Tuesday's lineup due to wrist discomfort and seems to still be dealing with the same issue. Rafael Ortega, Brandon Nimmo and Jeff McNeil will man the Mets' outfield in Stewart's absence.
Aug 9 2023Stewart (wrist) remains absent from the lineup Wednesday versus the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart was scratched Tuesday after experiencing some wrist discomfort during pregame batting practice, per Laura Albanese of Newsday, and he'll get another day off for rest and treatment. Rafael Ortega is in left field, Jeff McNeil is in right and Abraham Almonte will serve as the Mets' designated hitter.
Aug 8 2023Stewart was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart was originally listed as the starting right fielder and No. 6 hitter against right-hander Jameson Taillon. Abraham Almonte is now slated to fill those spots, though the reason for the swap was not disclosed.
Aug 7 2023Stewart is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Stewart finds himself as the odd man out of the lineup with southpaw Drew Smyly toeing the rubber for the Cubs. With the Mets having placed Starling Marte (groin) on the 10-day injured list Monday and having shipped out Tommy Pham and Mark Canha at the trade deadline, Stewart could still be in store for steady playing time versus right-handed pitching.
Aug 4 2023Stewart isn't int the Mets' lineup Friday against the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After going 3-for-7 with a run scored during the Mets' series against Kansas City, Stewart will get a breather for the first of three games against Baltimore on Friday. Rafael Ortega will take over in left field and bat ninth.
Aug 2 2023Stewart is not in the lineup Wednesday at Kansas City. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart went 2-for-3 with a walk and a double Tuesday night against the Royals and boasts an .858 OPS through 29 plate appearances with the Mets, but he'll take a seat Wednesday as left-hander Cole Ragans readies to toe the slab for KC. Danny Mendick, Rafael Ortega and Jeff McNeil are starting across the outfield.
Jul 4 2023The Mets selected Stewart's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart joins the Mets as a bench bat after posting an .878 OPS with 16 home runs and 41 RBI through 51 games this season at the Triple-A level. The 29-year-old last appeared in a major-league game in April of 2022.
Mar 25 2023Stewart was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Mets on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart joined the Mets on a minor-league deal in February with an invite to spring training. The 2015 first-round pick gave it a good run to make the Opening Day roster out of camp, batting .370 with a 1.195 OPS over 35 plate appearances in the Grapefruit League. It seems likely that Stewart will be an everyday option for Triple-A Syracuse to begin the minor-league campaign.
Mar 20 2023Stewart went 4-for-4 in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals, hitting for the cycle and driving in four runs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The seventh-inning homer off Chris Stratton was Stewart's first of the spring, but the former Oriole has been taking advantage of every opportunity he's gotten in camp, going 10-for-22 (.455) with a 7:6 BB:K. If Brandon Nimmo (ankle) ends up beginning the regular season on the injured list, Stewart might squeak onto the 26-man roster, but he appears to be behind Tim Locastro in that battle. As a veteran player on an NRI, however, Stewart's hot bat could earn the 29-year-old a look from a team with a bigger need for outfield depth if he doesn't make the cut for the Mets.
Apr 19 2022Stewart was designated for assignment by the Orioles on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart was sent to Triple-A Norfolk shortly after Opening Day and has now lost his spot on the 40-man roster. The 28-year-old should remain at Norfolk if he passes through waivers unclaimed.
Apr 10 2022Stewart was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart appeared off the bench in each of the first three games of the season and went 0-for-3 with a pair of strikeouts. He played in 100 games for the major-league club last year, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him rejoin the Orioles as outfield depth at some point.
Apr 6 2022Manager Brandon Hyde confirmed Wednesday that Stewart will be included on the Orioles' Opening Day roster, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: A bruised left hand limited Stewart to just six Grapefruit League games, but the 28-year-old was able to get in a sufficient amount of at-bats in during the spring for the Orioles to feel comfortable bringing him north for the start of the season. He'll likely serve as the Orioles' fourth outfielder and probably won't be in store for more than a couple starts per week while all of Cedric Mullins, Anthony Santander and Austin Hays are healthy and available.
Apr 4 2022Stewart (hand) will start in right field and bat sixth in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart will check back into Baltimore's spring lineup for the first time since March 23 after a bruised left hand kept him idle for the past two weeks. He was able to complete a live batting practice session Sunday without incident, so the hand doesn't look as though it's bothering him to a significant degree as Opening Day approaches. Assuming Stewart experiences no setbacks over the Orioles' final three exhibition contests, he'll likely break camp with the club as a reserve outfielder.
Apr 3 2022Stewart (hand) is expected to be included in the lineup Monday for the Orioles' Grapefruit League game against the Pirates, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart was expected to make his return to the starting nine at some point this weekend, but the Orioles instead opted to have him take at-bats against some of the organization's minor-league pitchers Sunday. Assuming his bruised left hand responds well to the activity, Stewart should return to big-league camp Monday and slot back into the lineup for the first time since March 23. Stewart still has a shot at making the Orioles' Opening Day roster as a reserve outfielder.
Mar 30 2022Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Wednesday that he's hopeful Stewart (hand) can rejoin the Grapefruit League lineup in two or three days, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hyde expressed optimism about Stewart's chances of breaking camp with the big club after he took part in some light hitting Wednesday. Stewart continues to sport a protective wrap on his left hand after he was struck by a pitch one week ago, and as long as he avoids any setbacks while ramping up the intensity of his swinging in the next couple days, he looks like he could be back in the spring lineup by the weekend.
Mar 28 2022Stewart (hand) is expected to take live batting practice Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart didn't experience any setbacks with his bruised left hand after hitting off a tee Sunday, so he'll take another step forward by facing off against pitchers two days later. If all goes well, Stewart could rejoin the Orioles' Grapefruit League lineup as soon as Wednesday against the Rays.
Mar 27 2022Stewart (hand) is scheduled to resume swinging a bat Sunday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart suffered a contusion on his left hand when he was hit by a pitch Wednesday, but X-rays came back negative and he's back to taking swings Sunday. The 28-year-old could undergo a CT scan if his recovery stalls, but for now he should still be considered day-to-day.
Mar 24 2022Stewart is considered day-to-day after he was diagnosed with a bruised left hand Thursday, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart underwent an X-ray after he was hit by a pitch on his left hand in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees, but he appears to have avoided a serious injury. The 28-year-old shouldn't miss significant time and will compete for a roster spot once he returns to full health.
Mar 18 2022Stewart (knee) is batting second as the designated hitter for Friday's spring game against the Blue Jays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart battled a sore knee through the second half of 2021 and finished the season on the injured list, but he's in the lineup for Baltimore's first spring training game this year. The 28-year-old struggled in his first full season in the majors last year, as he hit .204/.324/.374 with 12 home runs, 39 runs and 33 RBI in 318 plate appearances. He isn't guaranteed to maintain a significant role in 2022.
Nov 9 2021Stewart (knee) is expected to begin running by the end of November, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart underwent knee surgery at the end of the season. Reports at the time indicated he should be ready for spring training, and he remains on track. He'll begin baseball activity in January.
Sep 21 2021Stewart was placed on the 60-day injured list with right knee osteochondral defect Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manager Brandon Hyde said Tuesday that Stewart has been dealing with a sore knee throughout the second half of the season, and he'll undergo a procedure in the coming weeks to aid in his recovery. However, the 27-year-old is expected to be ready for spring training in 2022. He appeared in a career-high 100 games this year and hit .204 with 12 homers, 39 runs and 33 RBI.
Sep 8 2021Stewart went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: His first-inning blast off Jackson Kowar capped a four-run frame that put the O's in the lead for good. Stewart has only started two of the last eight games, and his .209/.330/.390 slash line through 92 contests on the season with 12 homers and 33 RBI doesn't make a compelling case for a bigger role.
Aug 25 2021Stewart went 1-for-2 with a home run and a pair of walks in Wednesday's win over the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart took Shohei Ohtani deep with a runner on in the fourth inning, pulling the Orioles to within 6-4. It was the 11th homer of the year for Stewart, who had been mired in a 1-for-13 (.077) skid over his previous six contests.
Aug 22 2021Stewart (knee) will start in left field and bat fifth Sunday against Atlanta, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart didn't start in any of the Orioles' last four games after battling a sore knee in recent days, but he was available off the bench for Saturday's 5-4 loss. He'll now pick up a start in the series finale against Atlanta, filling in in the outfield for a resting Austin Hays. Stewart still looks like Baltimore's No. 4 outfielder behind Cedric Mullins, Anthony Santander and Hays.
Aug 21 2021Stewart (knee) is available off the bench Saturday against Atlanta, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart is out of the lineup for a fourth consecutive game Saturday as he continues to deal with knee soreness. However, he'll be available if needed and is expected to be back in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against Atlanta.
Aug 19 2021Stewart (knee) isn't starting Thursday's game against the Rays, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart missed Wednesday's game due to knee soreness, and he'll remain out of the lineup for a second straight contest. Austin Hays, Cedric Mullins and Anthony Santander will start in the outfield from left to right.
Aug 18 2021Manager Brandon Hyde said Stewart is out of Wednesday's lineup due to a sore knee, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart should be considered day-to-day until an update on his knee is provided, with Jorge Mateo and Ryan Mountcastle playing the corner outfield positions while he and Anthony Santander (ankle) return to full health.
Aug 13 2021Stewart went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Thursday's 6-4 loss to Detroit. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 27-year-old accounted for half of Baltimore's runs, and he was one of two Orioles, along with Cedric Mullins, to record multiple hits. Stewart is beginning to find his swing with three homers in his last two games. He's up to 10 for the year, along with 27 RBI, 33 runs scored and a .204/.318/.376 slash line through 258 plate appearances.
Aug 11 2021Stewart is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With southpaw Tarik Skubal on the bump for Detroit, the lefty-hitting Stewart will retreat to the bench and open up right field for Ryan McKenna. While Ryan Mountcastle (concussion) is on the 7-day injured list, Stewart should continue to have a clear path to regular playing time versus right-handed pitching.
Aug 10 2021Stewart went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-4 loss to Detroit. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 27-year-old went deep in the fourth inning with his eighth homer of the year. Stewart lost some playing time when Anthony Santander was activated from the COVID-19 injured list, but the former has now filled in at designated hitter with Ryan Mountcastle (concussion) out. Stewart has a .198/.315/.346 slash line with 25 RBI, 31 runs scored and eight doubles through 254 plate appearances. He'll likely need to hit somewhat decently to fend off Ryan McKenna for continued playing time in Mountcastle's absence.
Aug 8 2021Stewart will serve as the Orioles' designated hitter and bat sixth Sunday against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart was on the bench for four of the Orioles' last six games, but Ryan Mountcastle's (concussion) placement on the 7-day injured list Sunday could pave the way for the lefty-hitting Stewart to pick up regular at-bats against right-handed pitching in the short term. Though he's fared significantly better versus righties than lefties this season, Stewart's .195/.324/.362 slash line over 207 plate appearances in those matchups isn't anything special.
Aug 1 2021Stewart is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart will sit for the second time in the series, and his time as a regular in the lineup versus right-handed pitching now looks to be over with Anthony Santander having returned from the COVID-19 injured list Friday. Santander and Austin Hays are projected to serve as the Orioles' primary corner outfielders in most games, and Stewart won't have a path to steady at-bats at designated hitter since that position is blocked with Trey Mancini or Ryan Mountcastle typically handling those duties.
Jul 21 2021Stewart will start in left field and bat fifth Wednesday against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart was on the bench for both of the first two games of the series, but he could regularly find himself in the lineup versus right-handed pitching in the short-term after outfielder Anthony Santander was placed on the COVID-19-related injured list Wednesday. Given his shortcomings against left-handed pitching (68 wRC+ in 105 career plate appearances), Stewart will likely form the strong side of a platoon in the corner outfield with the righty-hitting Ryan McKenna while Santander is on the shelf.
Jul 18 2021Stewart went 2-for-4 with two runs and an RBI in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though Stewart was instrumental in helping the Orioles end a five-game losing skid, he's unlikely to see many regular starts while all of Anthony Santander, Austin Hays, Ryan Mountcastle, Cedric Mullins and Trey Mancini are healthy and available to fill the three outfield spots, first base and designated hitter. Stewart was in the lineup Saturday for only the second time in seven games.
Jul 5 2021Stewart went 1-for-3 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart was right in the mix during a four-run sixth inning Sunday when he doubled home two runs and later came around to score to even the game at 4-4. The 27-year-old is slashing .211/.317/.366 with seven homers, 23 RBI, 24 runs scored and a 25:58 BB:K over 202 plate appearances. He's held a reserve role all season long as Sunday was his first appearance since June 30.
Jun 20 2021Stewart is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After he was on the bench for two straight games, Stewart started in left field in Saturday's 10-7 loss and slugged one of six home runs on the afternoon for Baltimore. The solo shot ended a stretch of seven straight games without an extra-base hit for Stewart, who struck out 10 times in 26 at-bats over that span. Now out of the lineup once again Sunday, Stewart appears to be a fourth outfielder at this point with all of Cedric Mullins, Anthony Santander and Austin Hays ahead of him in the pecking order.
Jun 13 2021Stewart will start in left field and lead off Sunday against the Rays, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Cedric Mullins getting a day off for rest, Stewart will replace him in the Baltimore outfield and atop the lineup. Austin Hays' recent return from the injured list appears to have cost Stewart a spot in the Orioles' everyday outfield, which typically includes Mullins and Anthony Santander.
Jun 6 2021Stewart went 3-for-3 with a walk, an RBI single and two runs scored in Sunday's 18-5 blowout win over Cleveland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: While Baltimore's offense racked up an impressive 21 hits and three walks, only Stewart and Cedric Mullins reached base four or more times. Stewart has picked up multiple hits in three of his last four games. He's still slashing a poor .229/.344/.405 with six home runs, 19 RBI and 19 runs scored across 154 plate appearances overall.
Jun 2 2021Stewart went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, two runs scored and a walk Wednesday against the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart took Randy Dobnak yard in the fifth inning to record his sixth home run of the season. He's taken advantage of Austin Hays' (hamstring) absence by going yard four times in nine starts since May 24, though he's also only hitting .200 across 30 at-bats in that same span. Stewart should continue to see regular playing time so long as Hays is sidelined and could be a decent source of power in the short-term as a result.
May 30 2021Stewart went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart put Baltimore on the board with a solo shot off White Sox starter Lucas Giolito in the third inning. Three of Stewart's five homers this year have come in his last eight games. The outfielder is slashing just .198/.321/.360 with 14 RBI and 15 runs scored across 131 plate appearances this year. He's likely to see regular playing time in the corner outfield spots while Austin Hays (hamstring) remains on the injured list.
May 26 2021Stewart will start in right field and bat fifth Wednesday against the Twins, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart is in the lineup for a third straight game, and he'll likely be locked into at least a strong-side platoon role in the outfield for the time being after the Orioles moved Austin Hays (hamstring) to the 10-day injured list Wednesday. Manager Brandon Hyde suggested that Hays could only miss the minimum amount of time, so Stewart's run of near-everyday playing time could prove to be short-lived.
May 25 2021Stewart went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk Tuesday against the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart took Alex Colome deep to lead off the eighth inning. It was his second home run in as many games and his fourth of the season. Stewart has seen an increase in playing time with Austin Hays (hamstring) sidelined, and he could have his spot in the lineup further solidified if Ryan Mountcastle is unavailable after being hit in the hand by a pitch Tuesday.
May 24 2021Stewart went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Monday's 8-3 loss to Minnesota. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart gave Baltimore a short-lived lead with his homer off Jorge Alcala in the eighth inning. It was his first long ball since May 1, giving him three this season. He's slashing .211/.330/.337 with 12 RBI through 112 plate appearances.
May 23 2021Stewart is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Stewart will head to the bench with the Orioles facing a left-handed starting pitcher for the fourth time in five games, but his time as a strong-side platoon player could be over. With Anthony Santander (ankle) returning from the injured list Friday, the Orioles may not have a regular spot in the outfield for Stewart. Cedric Mullins will likely man center field while Santander and Austin Hays occupy the corner spots in most games, and Ryan Mountcastle looks poised to serve as the Orioles' primary designated hitter.
May 19 2021Stewart is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With southpaw Ryan Yarbrough on the hill for the Rays, the left-handed Stewart will check out of the lineup in favor of the right-handed Ryan McKenna. Stewart owns a modest .633 OPS in 93 career plate appearances against left-handed pitching.
May 15 2021Stewart went 3-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run scored in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart tallied three hits for the first time this season, but he couldn't drive in any runs with the two players ahead of him in the lineup going 0-for-8. The 27-year-old is slashing .215/.347/.329 with just two home runs, nine RBI and 11 runs scored to go along with a 15:20 BB:K. He's going to need to pick his production up at the plate quickly if he wants to remain in the lineup with Anthony Santander (ankle) set to return from the injured list late next week.
May 14 2021Stewart (hamstring) is starting in right field and batting sixth Friday against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 27-year-old has been out of the lineup since suffering the hamstring injury Sunday against the Red Sox, though he did appear off the bench twice against the Mets this week. Stewart is 4-for-20 with a homer, five walks, four runs and four RBI in nine games since the start of May.
May 12 2021Stewart (hamstring) isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Mets, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart will be out of the lineup for a third straight game after he left Sunday's matchup against Boston with a left hamstring strain. However, he was available off the bench Tuesday and could be once again Wednesday. Austin Hays will shift to right field while Ryan Mountcastle starts in left.
May 11 2021Stewart (hamstring) will sit for the second straight game Tuesday against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart exited Sunday's game against the Red Sox with a strained left hamstring and did not take part in Monday's contest. His expected return date is not yet clear, though he may not miss too much more time, as he'll be available off the bench Tuesday, per Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com. Austin Hays will shift to right field in his absence, with Ryan Mountcastle starting in left.
May 10 2021Stewart (hamstring) isn't starting Monday's game against the Red Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart suffered a left hamstring strain in Sunday's loss to the Red Sox, and Ryan McKenna will take his place in right field Monday. Manager Brandon Hyde said that Stewart could be available off the bench since his hamstring is better Monday, but the team would prefer not to use him, Kubatko reports.
May 9 2021Manager Brandon Hyde said Sunday after the Orioles' 4-3 loss to the Red Sox that Stewart was removed in the bottom of the sixth due to a left hamstring strain, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart went 0-for-1 with a pair of free passes before Hyde summoned Ryan McKenna from the bench to pinch run for the outfielder following his second walk of the day. Given that Stewart previously opened the season on the injured list with the same injury, he could be headed for a similar fate again. The Orioles will likely send Stewart in for additional tests before determining his availability heading into the upcoming week.
May 7 2021Stewart is not in the lineup Friday against the Red Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart started nine of the previous 10 games but will head to the bench Friday with lefty Eduardo Rodriguez on the mound for Boston. Ryan Mountcastle, Cedric Mullins and Austin Hays will start from left to right in the outfield Friday for Baltimore.
May 5 2021Stewart went 1-for-4 with a RBI and a run scored in the 6-0 win Wednesday against the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart had a second-inning single that scored Ryan Mountcastle. He scored later in the inning on a Ramon Urias single. The 27-year-old is slashing .183/.293/.296 with two home runs, eight RBI and 10 runs.
May 4 2021Stewart (back) is starting in right field and batting fifth Tuesday against the Mariners, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 27-year-old was a late scratch from Monday's starting nine with back stiffness, but he'll only end up missing one contest. Stewart is 2-for-24 with one home run, two RBI and three runs scored over his past seven games.
May 3 2021Stewart isn't starting Monday's game against Seattle due to back stiffness, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart was initially listed in the starting nine for Monday's series opener, but an updated lineup shows the outfielder has been replaced. He'll be considered day-to-day until more information is known.
May 2 2021Stewart went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's win over Oakland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart launched his second homer of the season but is having a down year offensively, as he's only hitting .183 with a .607 OPS. In fact, this game snapped a five-game hitless streak for the 27-year-old, who only has one multi-hit appearance all season long.
Apr 25 2021Stewart is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Stewart will take a seat for the series finale with southpaw Jesus Luzardo on the bump for Oakland. Ryan McKenna replaces Stewart in right field.
Apr 17 2021Stewart went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-2 win over the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 27-year-old got the start in left field and hit third as he continues to get a long look while Austin Hays (hamstring) is sidelined. Stewart's homer Friday was his first of the year, but his .263/.417/.474 slash line and 5:6 BB:K through his first seven games are making a strong case for a continued role even after Hays returns to action.
Apr 11 2021Stewart will start in left field and bat fifth Sunday against the Red Sox, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With two starts in as many days since returning from the injured list, Stewart looks like he'll be the primary replacement in the outfield for Austin Hays (hamstring), who was placed on the IL a few days earlier. Expect the lefty-hitting Stewart to sit regularly against southpaws, however.
Apr 10 2021Stewart is starting Saturday's game against the Red Sox, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday after he missed the start of the regular season due to a left hamstring strain. He'll start in left field against right-hander Garrett Richards on Saturday, batting fifth.
Apr 7 2021Stewart (hamstring) could rejoin the Orioles this weekend, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manager Brandon Hyde reiterated Wednesday that Stewart is getting close to returning to game action. The 27-year-old hasn't appeared in a game since March 5, when he suffered a left hamstring strain during a spring matchup. Once Stewart is cleared to return, he could see fairly regular at-bats in the outfield with Austin Hays (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list.
Apr 3 2021Stewart (hamstring) is getting close to returning to game action, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He is on the 10-day injured list, so he won't be able to return until next week at the earliest, but it's good to hear that his condition is improving and he should be back in days, not weeks.
Mar 31 2021Stewart (hamstring) is expected to begin the season on the injured list, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart has been dealing with a hamstring issue since early March that was initially described as minor, but it appears as though it'll cost him time to begin the regular season. The 27-year-old has still been taking at-bats during intrasquad games but hasn't appeared in a Grapefruit League matchup since March 5. Once Stewart is healthy enough to return, he should serve as outfield depth for Baltimore.
Mar 21 2021Manager Brandon Hyde said Sunday that it's becoming more difficult for Stewart (hamstring) to be ready for Opening Day, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It was previously reported the 27-year-old was targeting a return to the lineup this weekend, but he apparently hasn't progressed as expected. Stewart took at-bats during an intrasquad game Saturday, so it doesn't appear he's suffered a significant setback. He hasn't played in a spring game since March 5 due to the hamstring issue, and he's running out of time to get back up to speed with less than two weeks before the season opener April 1.
Mar 20 2021Stewart (hamstring) took at-bats during an intrasquad matchup Saturday, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Orioles were hopeful that Stewart could return to the lineup over the weekend, but he isn't yet ready for sprints due to a hamstring injury that he's been dealing with since early March. While Stewart has continued to progress in his recovery, he's running out of time to compete for a role to begin the regular season.
Mar 16 2021Stewart (hamstring) is aiming to return to the lineup by this weekend, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart has been dealing with a hamstring issue since early March. The Orioles will continue to be cautious with him given the nature of the injury, but he's running out of time to stake his claim for regular at-bats at the start of the year, so he'll want to get back in the lineup soon.
Mar 9 2021Baltimore manager Brandon Hyde said Tuesday that Stewart (hamstring) has shown improvement in recent days, and the outfielder could be ready to rejoin the Orioles' Grapefruit League lineup next week, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: According to Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com, Hyde reiterated that Stewart doesn't appear at risk of missing Opening Day as a result of the hamstring injury he picked up in Friday's game against the Blue Jays. Assuming Stewart continues to make progress while increasing his on-field activity in the next few days, he should be able to get enough spring at-bats to erase any concerns about his availability for the start of the season. Stewart is likely competing with Anthony Santander, Austin Hays and Ryan Mountcastle for everyday at-bats in the corner outfield this season.
Mar 5 2021Stewart's leg injury which forced him to exit Friday's game against the Blue Jays was merely a mild hamstring tweak, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart left the game after pulling up with the injury on his way to first base, but he appears to have avoided any serious problems. While he doesn't appear likely to miss more than a few days, any lost time could hurt him in his quest for outfield at-bats this season.
Feb 27 2021Stewart shed 10-12 pounds during the offseason, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart slimmed down this winter in an attempt to improve his mobility and defense in the outfield. He appeared in just 31 games during the abbreviated 2020 campaign and slashed .193/.355/.455 with seven home runs and 15 RBI, and he'll have to compete for playing time with Anthony Santander heading into 2021.
Sep 24 2020Stewart isn't starting Thursday against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart has been in a slump recently as he's hit .107 with three RBI and 14 strikeouts over his last 28 at-bats. He'll get a day off Thursday as Austin Hays shifts to right field with Ryan Mountcastle starting in left.
Sep 14 2020Stewart went 2-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Monday's 14-1 win over the Braves. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart smashed a three-run homer to kick off a 10-run outburst by Baltimore in the third inning. The 26-year-old has seven homers this season, all coming since Sep. 5, and a terrific 1.134 OPS.
Sep 11 2020Stewart went 2-for-3 with a double and a solo home run during a 10-1 loss to the Yankees in the second game of Friday's doubleheader. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After the O's got shut out by Gerrit Cole in the matinee, Stewart made sure it didn't happen again by taking Masahiro Tanaka deep in the first inning of the nightcap. Unfortunately, it proved to be the only run Baltimore could muster all day. Even with an 0-for-3 showing in the first game Friday, Stewart is hitting an incredible .500 (10-for-20) over his last six games with six homers and eight RBI.
Sep 10 2020Stweart went 3-for-3 with a home run, an RBI and two runs scored Wednesday in a 7-6 loss to the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart took Chasen Shreve deep on the second pitch of the fifth inning to extend the Orioles' lead to 6-3. The 26-year-old slugger has homered in four straight games and is hitting .571/.647/1.643 with eight hits (five home runs) and seven RBI over that span.
Sep 8 2020Stewart went 1-for-4 with a walk, a home run, two RBI and two runs scored Tuesday against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart slugged his fourth home run of the campaign in the second inning, taking Michael Wacha yard. He's now homered in three consecutive games, combining to hit all four of his long balls in that span. Overall, Stewart is hitting .185/.421/.630 across 40 plate appearances this season.
Sep 6 2020Stewart went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, and two runs scored in a win over the Yankees on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Just one day after hitting two home runs, Stewart followed up with a two-run blast in the first inning. He's hitting just .174 this year but carries a .990 OPS with three home runs over 12 games.
Sep 5 2020Stewart went 2-for-3 with a pair of solo home runs in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart opened the scoring with his first homer -- and hit -- of the year in the sixth inning. He didn't wait long to go yard again, smashing his second long ball in the seventh for the Orioles' final run. He also picked up his first two RBI of the season, and he's up to three runs scored across 31 plate appearances. Despite the big game Saturday, the 26-year-old Stewart will likely remain in a bench role more often than not.
Sep 1 2020Stewart was recalled by the Orioles on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart went hitless in eight games to start the year before being demoted in early August. He now owns a .222/.321/.389 slash line in 69 career big-league contests. He'll likely fill a bench role during his time on the team.
Aug 5 2020Stewart was optioned to the Orioles' alternate training site after Wednesday's doubleheader against the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old started seven games through the first couple weeks of the season, but he's hitless with six walks and eight strikeouts in 22 plate appearances. Stewart could rejoin Baltimore later in the season, but for now he'll try to right the ship at the alternate training site.
Aug 1 2020Stewart will not start Saturday's game against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart doesn't appear to have a true starting role in Baltimore this season, as he's now been on the bench three times in the team's first seven games. Saturday's game marks the first time he's been out of the starting lineup against a righty (Tyler Glasnow, in this case). Dwight Smith will start in left field in his absence.
Jul 30 2020Stewart is not starting Thursday against the Yankees, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart will sit for the second time this season, with both absences coming against lefty starters. Cedric Mullins is starting in left field and hitting ninth in his place Thursday.
Jul 25 2020Stewart isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Although Stewart is expected to be the Orioles' primary left fielder this season, he'll sit Saturday, likely since it's a day game following Friday's night game. Anthony Santander will shift to left field with Cedric Mullins starting in right field and batting ninth.
Jul 14 2020Stewart appears on track to open the season as a regular in the Baltimore outfield with Anthony Santander (undisclosed) and Dwight Smith (undisclosed) having yet to report to the Orioles' summer camp as of Monday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart was limited in spring training while recovering from October microfracture surgery on his right ankle, but he's back to full speed for summer camp following baseball's four-month hiatus. With his health intact and two challengers for playing time missing in camp, Stewart and Austin Hays both look poised to being the season as starters, or at least on the larger side of a platoon in Stewart's case. Cedric Mullins, Mason Williams and Stevie Wilkerson could also in the mix for reps in the outfield, but the latter two players would need to be added to the 40-man roster.
Jul 3 2020Stewart (ankle) is fully healthy, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart underwent surgery on his right ankle back in October. He was nearly ready to make his spring debut when the season was shut down in March, so it's no surprise to see that he's ready to go now. The 26-year-old owns a career .241/.323/.422 slash line in 61 big-league games and should see a fair amount of playing time this year, though he may not be more than a fourth outfielder.
Mar 20 2020Manager Brandon Hyde said Friday that Stewart (ankle) is expected to be fully healthy when play resumes, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart underwent microfracture surgery on his right ankle in October and was reportedly nearing his spring debut when spring training was suspended earlier in March. The 26-year-old still appeared to have a chance to be ready for Opening Day, and he should now have plenty of time to fully recover given the delayed start to the season. Stewart had a .238/.317/.381 slash line in 44 games in 2019 and could open the season as Baltimore's fourth outfielder.
Mar 8 2020Manager Brandon Hyde said Sunday that Stewart (ankle) could make his spring debut late this week, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hyde said toward the end of February the right-hander could be ready for game action by the second week of March, and it appears his progression has continued as expected. Stewart underwent microfracture surgery on his right ankle in October, but he may still have a chance of being ready in time for Opening Day. The 26-year-old appeared in 44 games with Baltimore last season and had a .238/.317/.381 slash line in 2019, and he could earn the fourth outfielder job to begin the season if he gets built up enough in spring training.
Feb 27 2020Manager Brandon Hyde said Thursday that Stewart (ankle) is progressing well and could be ready to play in a Grapefruit League game by the first or second week of March, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart required microfracture surgery on his right ankle in October and initially looked doubtful to be ready for Opening Day, but it may be more of a toss up now that Hyde has acknowledged the 26-year-old is progressing faster than anticipated. If he gets the requisite number of at-bats in to keep himself in contention for a roster spot, Stewart could claim the fourth outfielder job. Given Chris Davis' immense struggles the past two seasons, it wouldn't be surprising if he was phased out of the lineup as the campaign unfolds. That would open up more time in the corner outfield for Stewart, while Trey Mancini sees more action at first base in place of Davis.
Feb 19 2020Stewart (ankle) was cleared to take batting practice and resume running this week, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart will be sidelined when the Orioles begin their Grapefruit League schedule this weekend, but the outfielder looks to have made some notable progress in his recovery from offseason microfracture surgery for his right ankle. Though the 26-year-old is optimistic he'll be able to get some games in before spring training concludes, it may not be enough for him to break camp with the big club.
Feb 12 2020Stewart (ankle) won't be ready to play next weekend when the Orioles open their Grapefruit League schedule, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart hasn't experienced any setbacks following his October surgery on his right ankle, but he still has a few more checkpoints to clear in his rehab process before he's deemed ready for game action. While Stewart isn't putting a timeline on his return, he noted that he expects to be back on the field before the exhibition slate concludes. If that's the case, Stewart will stand a good chance of avoiding the injured list, though his lack of at-bats relative to the other outfielders could put him at risk of an assignment to Triple-A Norfolk to begin the season.
Oct 18 2019Stewart underwent a microfracture procedure on his right ankle Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stewart's surgery was considered a success, and it was performed by Dr. Kenneth Jung at the Kerlan-Jobe Institute in California, per Kubatko. The outfielder will now begin a lengthy recovery process and isn't expected to resume baseball activities until the end of spring training.
