Kaleb Ort's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The Baltimore Orioles acquired right-hander Kaleb Ort from the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday in exchange for cash considerations. In a corresponding move, the Orioles designated outfielder Peyton Burdick for assignment. The move comes after the Phillies recently designated Ort for assignment. The 32-year-old will stay on the East coast and try to win a spot in Baltimore's Opening Day rotation out of spring training. He'll probably be a long shot to do so and could end up with a new organization before the start of the 2024 season, considering he's out of minor-league options. Ort had a 6.26 ERA and 1.56 WHIP in 23 innings for the Boston Red Sox last year and has a 6.27 ERA and 1.70 WHIP in only 51 2/3 frames over three MLB seasons in Boston.

The Philadelphia Phillies claimed right-hander Kaleb Ort off waivers from the Miami Marlins on Tuesday and designated infielder Diego Castillo for assignment in a corresponding move to make room on the 40-man roster for Ort. The 32-year-old Ort was designated for assignment by the Fish last week and will now join the Phillies organization, making it four teams for Ort this offseason alone. In the last three seasons with the Boston Red Sox, he went 2-4 with a 6.27 ERA (5.34 FIP) and 1.70 WHIP with one save, 25 walks and 51 strikeouts in 51 2/3 innings pitched over 47 appearances (two starts). Ort allowed 19 runs (16 earned) on 27 hits (six home runs) while walking nine and striking out 24 in 23 innings over 21 outings (two starts) in Boston in 2023. He's not anywhere near the fantasy radar.
