Rest-of-Season Projections
Cut loose by Orioles
Karns was released by the Orioles on Wednesday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Karns will hit the open market after being designated for assignment in July and subsequently passing through waivers untouched. The veteran right-hander made four appearances with Baltimore earlier in the season -- allowing seven hits while posting a 5:3 K:BB across 5.1 scoreless innings -- before landing on the IL with a forearm strain.

Karns looked to be ready to go in spring training after thoracic outlet syndrome cost him most of his 2017 campaign, but the injury bug bit again, this time in the form of elbow inflammation, keeping him out the entire season. He'll enter this season as a 31-year-old who hasn't thrown a pitch in a competitive game in nearly two full years. The floor is obviously very low for Karns, and the ceiling isn't particularly high either, as he owns a mediocre 4.37 career ERA over parts of five seasons. He did at least show some promising peripherals (27.1 K%, 6.9 BB%) in eight starts back in 2017, so there's a chance that he winds up serving as a back-end starter. It's also possible, and perhaps more likely, that he's used in a relief role to protect his arm, especially given that he's had trouble going deep into games in the past.
