Samuel Basallo, the Baltimore Orioles’ top prospect and catcher/first baseman, exited a spring game on February 26, 2026 with right side abdominal discomfort. The club later reported that tests indicated cramping rather than a serious injury, and Basallo was expected to return to game action shortly.
The move was precautionary. Manager Craig Albernaz and the medical staff cleared him after evaluation. Basallo is a key part of the Orioles’ long-term plans.
