Basallo walked off the field on his own to the clubhouse after remaining on the field for a few moments following a defensive play.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">O&#39;s top prospect Samuel Basallo left today&#39;s Spring Training game when he sustained an apparent injury to his midsection.<br><br>More details: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ytvzi8QNL7\">https:\/\/t.co\/ytvzi8QNL7<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/W2DCKXidME\">pic.twitter.com\/W2DCKXidME<\/a><\/p>&mdash; MLB Pipeline (@MLBPipeline) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MLBPipeline\/status\/2027099310475649428?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 26, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\nThe action occurred in a 9-4-2 relay, when the Dominican received a throw from shortstop Jeremiah Jackson after a double by Hao-Yu Lee. Basallo managed to put out Matt Vierling at the plate, but showed pain after diving for the runner.\n\nRanked as the number 8 prospect in baseball by MLB Pipeline, Basallo is considered one of the leading contenders for the American League Rookie of the Year award in 2026. In his Major League debut in 2025, he batted .165, with six doubles, four home runs, 15 RBIs, and an OPS of .559 in 31 games.\n\nAlthough Adley Rutschman continues as Baltimore&#8217;s starting catcher, Basallo is projected to have regular participation both behind the plate and in the designated hitter role, as well as occasional appearances at first base. The Dominican signed an eight-year, $67 million extension last August, solidifying himself as a key piece in the organization&#8217;s future.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SARASOTA, Florida.\u2013 The Orioles experienced a moment of concern on Thursday afternoon when Dominican catcher Samuel Basallo left the Grapefruit League game against the Tigers due to discomfort in his right side of the abdomen.
