Not much info, but at least it is something. He hasn't played since he was sent down in July.

Got to see Kjerstad and Josenberger today. Heston is doing a rehab stint in AA. You cannot view this attachment.You cannot view this attachment.

Kjerstad is back on the 60 day IL. I believe his career is over.

I think it's just a procedural move to clear a spot on 40 man roster. He can still return late May if ready.

The O's are desperate for outfielders. No way they would do that. If he could play, they should have him up tonight.

He's not ready, he needs some reps at AA.

Hamstring problem since spring training? That is a long time.

Especially since he played Saturday and Sunday and ran full speed without issue.

In other news, Wehiwa is trying to get promoted.

His 2020 season was going to be historic.
Then he got covid and it has been a struggle for him health wise since

Heston Kjerstad, selected 2nd overall by the Orioles in 2020, had his early career significantly delayed after contracting COVID-19 shortly after the draft, which led to a diagnosis of myocarditis (heart muscle inflammation).
He missed the entire 2021 season for treatment, eventually debuting in June 2022 after further delays from a hamstring injury.
Key Details on Kjerstad's Medical & Missed Time:
2020: Drafted; contracted COVID-19, leading to myocarditis.
2021: Shut down and missed all season due to recurring heart inflammation.
2022: Delayed start due to a hamstring strain before finally making his professional debut on June 10.Recovery: He returned to action in 2022, eventually playing in the Arizona Fall League.
As of early 2026, he is actively battling for a spot on the Baltimore Orioles roster, having shown strong performance despite continued injury, such as a 2026 hamstring issue.

Good for him. He deserves all the success.

Not sure what happened but evidently Heston is playing.

Kopps update. He was released from the Padres organization due to control issues and too many walks. Looks like he just signed with a Mexican league team. Hope he can get back to the minors, but it doesn't look good for him. Sucks for being so dominant that one year for us. Kid was in the biggest situations for us and finished with a sub 1 era. Unreal

Taking the ole Kenny Powers route.

Seeing Kopps in cornrows, engaged in cock fighting, and yelling "you're fucking out!" is not the journey I envisioned for him.

He is rehabbing in the minors. The Os put him on 60 day IL to free up a spot on 40 man roster. They knew he needed reps before he could help them.
