Eligibility
Orioles pitcher Keegan Akin (back) says he is right on track for spring training.
Fantasy Impact
Akin signed a one-year, $825K deal to avoid arbitration this offseason on the heels of a season that saw him struggle to a 6.85 ERA across just 23 2/3 innings with the O's in 2023. He posted a tidy 1.13 ERA across five Triple-A appearances (one start) but back injuries sidelined him for nearly three months to end his 2023 campaign.
Keegan Akin was placed on the paternity list following the Orioles win over Oakland Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Akin can miss up to three games after being placed on paternity leave. The Orioles recalled Spenser Watkins and Yannier Cano to replace Akin and Cole Irvin on the roster.
Keegan Akin (3-2) allowed two earned runs on two hits over 2 1/3 innings, inheriting the loss in game two of Monday's doubleheader. The left-hander struck out four and yielded one walk in the 42-pitch outing.
Fantasy Impact
Akin was thrusted into the starting role Monday due to Jordan Lyles being a late scratch. The lefty pitched two scoreless innings until he was pulled in the third inning after allowing two base runners with only one out. The Alma native sits at a 2.86 ERA on the year and should assume his relieving role moving forward.
Orioles pitcher Keegan Akin threw three scoreless innings during a relief outing against the Rays on Saturday. He struck out three batters and surrendered just one hit in the effort.
Fantasy Impact
Akin's solid outing helped keep the Orioles in the game after starter Jordan Lyles coughed up five runs. However, the Baltimore bats couldn't do enough to pull away. In the end, the O's fell to the Rays, 5-3. Akin could be a reliable option out of the bullpen this season. He posted significantly better numbers as a reliever (seven games) than starter (17 games) in 2021.
Keegan Akin allowed five hits, one walk, one run, and six strikeouts in five and one-third innings. The Orioles lost 4-3 Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Akin has a 6.63 ERA this season. He'll be undrafted next spring.
