Keegan Akin Fantasy Stats

Baltimore Orioles reliever Keegan Akin collected his fifth save of the year in a 3-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday. The left-hander struck out one in a scoreless, one-hit ninth inning and threw 13 pitches (nine strikes). Akin, who has been sharing the closer role with righty Yennier Cano in the absence of the injured Felix Bautista (shoulder), has picked up two saves and allowed one earned run in 5 1/3 innings this month. He now owns a 3.14 ERA with a 1.34 WHIP, 54 strikeouts, and 30 walks over 57 1/3 frames this season.

Baltimore Orioles reliever Keegan Akin retired five Houston Astros en route to his third save of the season in a 3-2 win on Sunday. Akin entered a bases-loaded jam with one out and a 3-1 lead in the top of the eighth, and after allowing an inherited runner to score on a sacrifice fly, he retired Mauricio Dubon on an inning-ending lineout. The left-hander stayed in for the ninth and mowed down the Astros, striking out the side in 1-2-3 fashion to end it. Akin lowered his ERA to 3.12 with a 1.37 WHIP and 44:26 K:BB in 49 innings. The Orioles no longer have a set closer with Felix Bautista (shoulder) out for the season, which means Akin will be among a few O's relievers in the mix for saves for the rest of 2025.

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Keegan Akin blew a save and received the loss in Sunday's 3-2 defeat to the Athletics. He entered the ninth with a one-run lead but ultimately gave up a two-run double to Willie MacIver. His final line was two runs on two hits and one walk with two strikeouts in one inning. This is the second loss he's taken in his last four appearances, but he did lock down a successful save on Friday. The 30-year-old became the favorite for the ninth inning after a Felix Bautista injury and Seranthony Dominguez trade, and figures to remain there despite the poor performances. The Orioles have nothing to play for in 2025, and Akin's 3.56 ERA still represents one of the better marks in their bullpen.

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Keegan Akin took the loss on Sunday in a 5-3 defeat to the Cubs by allowing a two-run walk-off home run to Justin Turner in the bottom of the ninth inning. He entered the inning in a tie game before the first batter reached on an error and the second batter sent one into the stands. This isn't good for his claim to the closer's role, as he's currently in a committee with Yennier Cano and Corbin Martin for the job. He did earn the save yesterday with a scoreless ninth inning, but this outing will likely make the situation murkier. With Felix Bautista injured and Seranthony Dominguez traded, there may not be a definitive closer for a while in Baltimore.

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Keegan Akin was called upon to hold a one-run lead versus the Chicago Cubs on Saturday. The Orioles took a late lead in this one and already had Yennier Cano pitch in the eighth inning. That being said, Akin was tasked with getting the final three outs. It wasn't easy as he walked two batters, but also recorded two strikeouts in what ended up being his first save of the season. Akin figures to remain in the mix for saves alongside Cano right now.

Baltimore Orioles left-handed reliever Keegan Akin (shoulder) is set to come off the 15-day injured list on Monday against the Toronto Blue Jays. Akin dealt with inflammation in his left shoulder, which has kept him out since June 30. Before landing on the shelf, the 30-year-old recorded a 3.32 ERA with a 1.42 WHIP and 38:18 K:BB over 38 innings. Now that he's healthy again, Akin may draw interest from teams looking for bullpen help before Thursday's trade deadline. The out-of-contention Orioles have already shown a willingness to part with veteran relievers, having traded Bryan Baker and Gregory Soto in recent weeks.

Baltimore Orioles left-hander Keegan Akin (shoulder) began his rehab assignment at the rookie-level Florida Complex League on Monday. He is expected to have a few rehab outings before being activated from the injured list. His rehab assignment has now been moved to Triple-A Norfolk as he continues to work his way back from left shoulder inflammation. Before his injury, the lefty owned a 3.32 ERA with 38 strikeouts over 39 innings and could see an expanded role if the Orioles are sellers at the trade deadline. Baltimore could activate Akin soon to showcase him before the MLB trade deadline next Thursday.

Baltimore Orioles left-handed reliever Keegan Akin (shoulder) will face hitters Monday before beginning a potential rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. Akin has been on the 15-day injured list with shoulder inflammation since July 1. The Orioles had to shut him down from throwing earlier this week after he received an injection in his shoulder, but he's now progressing toward a return. The 30-year-old has gone 3-0 with a 3.32 ERA, a 1.42 WHIP, 38:16 K:BB, and 12 holds over 38 innings.

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Keegan Akin (shoulder) will likely go on a rehab assignment after the All-Star break, but the 30-year-old lefty has been shut down for the next five to seven days after receiving an injection in his shoulder. Akin has been on the 15-day injured list since July 2 after going 3-0 in his 39 games for the O's with a 3.32 ERA and 4.30 FIP. The lefty has made a few starts this season as an opener and has been a fairly versatile piece out of the bullpen for Baltimore over the past few seasons. He still has one more year of team control, becoming a free agent after the 2026 season. He could be a name to watch at the trade deadline if the Orioles sell off parts, but he'll need to prove he's healthy and over this shoulder issue first.

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Keegan Akin (shoulder) was placed on the injured list on Wednesday with left shoulder inflammation. The 30-year-old lefty has appeared in 39 games for the Orioles this season, spanning 38 innings with a 3.32 ERA, 4.30 FIP, 1.42 WHIP, and 23.3% strikeout rate. Akin's WHIP is up this season, and his strikeout rate is down after a strong 2024. He has worked as an opener for a few games this season but will now be sidelined through at least the All-Star break. Right-handed reliever Yennier Cano was recalled from Norfolk to take Akin's place in the bullpen.
