Cubs' Dylan Carlson: Contract selected
The Cubs selected Carlson's contract from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday.
Carlson joined the Cubs as a non-roster invitee to spring camp and played his way into a roster spot by slashing .298/.421/.404 across 57 plate appearances. He'll provide Chicago with extra depth in the outfield while Seiya Suzuki works his way back from a knee injury, but Carlson likely won't have a path to regular playing time unless another one of the Cubs' outfielders gets hurt. Tyler Austin (knee) was placed on the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Cubs' Dylan Carlson: Will make roster
Carlson was informed Tuesday that he will make Chicago's Opening Day roster, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
With Seiya Suzuki (knee) set to begin the year on the injured list, the Cubs are bolstering their outfield depth with Carlson and fellow veteran Michael Conforto. Carlson was in camp as a non-roster invitee after stumbling to a .203/.278/.336 line across 83 games with the Orioles last season. He'll likely serve in a depth role with limited fantasy utility, though he does have a path to increased playing time if any other Chicago outfielders go down with injuries. Carlson will ultimately make the team over Kevin Alcantara, who has options available and will begin the season with Triple-A Iowa.

Cubs' Dylan Carlson: Making case for roster spot
Carlson is having a solid spring with a 1.071 OPS across 20 Cactus League at-bats, and he stands a decent chance at earning an Opening Day bench spot with the Cubs, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
The Cubs signed Carlson to a minor-league contract in January, and the veteran outfielder is making the most out of the opportunity. The loss of Tyler Austin (knee) for at least a few months gives Chicago at least one extra bench spot to fill, with Carlson and fellow veteran outfielder Michael Conforto both making pushes to be on the Opening Day roster. Carlson didn't do much offensively last year in Baltimore, as he slashed just .203/.278/.336 across 83 games, so his fantasy value remains limited, particularly in a reserve role. However, he could have greater appeal if he's forced into more regular playing time at some point.

Cubs' Dylan Carlson: Nets NRI from Cubs
The Cubs signed Carlson to a minor-league contract Saturday that includes an invitation to spring training, Greg Zumach of The Baseball Tribune reports.
Carlson slashed only .203/.278/.336 across 241 plate appearances for the Orioles in 2025. He's still just 27, but the former top prospect has had little success at the major-league level since a nice rookie season back in 2021. Carlson will likely begin the 2026 campaign as outfield depth at Triple-A Iowa.

Dylan Carlson: Opts for free agency
Carlson elected free agency Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Carlson cleared waivers and opted for free agency rather than being assigned to Triple-A Norfolk after being outrighted by the Orioles. He struggled across 241 big-league plate appearances in 2025, hitting only .203/.278/.336.

Orioles' Dylan Carlson: Rare multi-hit game in win
Carlson went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-7 win over the White Sox.
The double was Carlson's first extra-base hit in September, and the multi-hit game was his first since Aug. 16. Despite having plenty of opportunities to seize a more significant role in the Orioles' outfield -- Ramon Laureano, Ryan O'Hearn and Cedric Mullins were all traded away in July, and Tyler O'Neill has spent plenty of time on the IL -- Carlson has struggled to find his footing. Since the start of August, he's slashing .186/.293/.337 with two home runs and five RBI over 99 plate appearances (30 games) en route to a putrid .622 OPS for the year.

Orioles' Dylan Carlson: Sitting in third straight
Carlson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.
Carlson is out of the lineup for the third game in a row and looks to have moved into a reserve role while Jeremiah Jackson and Dylan Beavers get extended looks in outfield. Though Carlson had begun to show signs of life at the plate by going 9-for-27 (.333 average) with two home runs and a 5:8 BB:K in his last nine games, he's slashing just .206/.262/.344 over 195 plate appearances for Baltimore this season.

Orioles' Dylan Carlson: Heading to bench Sunday
Carlson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.
Carlson will head to the bench after starting five straight games and going 7-for-16 with two home runs, one triple, three walks, four RBI and four runs during that stretch. With Colton Cowser (concussion) returning from the injured list Sunday and Dylan Beavers likely to get an extended audition as an everyday player, Carlson may have to compete with Jeremiah Jackson for regular at-bats at the other spot in the Baltimore outfield. Both Carlson and Jackson may be at risk of losing out on opportunities once Tyler O'Neill (wrist) returns from the IL, however.

Orioles' Dylan Carlson: Late homer snaps power drought
Carlson went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's 7-0 win over the Astros.
The outfielder extended Baltimore's lead with a 330-foot shot into the Crawford Boxes off Shawn Dubin in the eighth inning, his first home run since June 12 and first extra-base hit since June 22. During the prolonged 31-game homer drought, Carlson went just 13-for-88 with three RBI and five runs scored while struggling to make consistent hard contact. Friday's performance not only snapped the homerless stretch but also marked his second multi-hit effort in his last three games, offering a glimpse of improved form at the plate. On the season, the 26-year-old is slashing .200/.249/.315 with five home runs, 17 RBI and 13 runs scored across 61 games

Orioles' Dylan Carlson: Receiving breather Sunday
Carlson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
With Baltimore having moved three outfielders at the trade deadline before placing two more -- Colton Cowser (concussion) and Tyler O'Neill (wrist) -- on the injured list, Carlson's standing as a regular in the outfield appears relatively secure. That said, the 26-year-old has done little with his extended run in the lineup, as he went 0-for-31 with no runs or RBI over the past 10 games. While Carlson gets a breather, Greg Allen, Jordyn Adams and Jeremiah Jackson will start from left to right Sunday.

Orioles' Dylan Carlson: Getting regular run in outfield
Carlson will start in center field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Cubs.
The 26-year-old switch hitter will pick up his fourth straight start and looks like he'll be in line for a near-everyday role after the Orioles shipped out Cedric Mullins, Ramon Laureano and Ryan O'Hearn at the trade deadline. Carlson has yet to get going at the plate since being recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on July 22, going 2-for-21 with a 1:5 BB:K in nine games.

Orioles' Dylan Carlson: Returns to majors
The Orioles recalled Carlson from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Carlson's promotion comes as Luis Vazquez was optioned to Norfolk prior to Tuesday's game. Carlson was demoted July 3 and has gone 8-for-27 with two home runs and six walks across seven games with the Tides. However, he has not managed an OPS over .696 in the majors since his career-high .780 OPS in 2021.

Orioles' Dylan Carlson: Sent down to minors
The Orioles optioned Carlson to Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
His roster spot will be filled by Tyler O'Neill (shoulder), who is slated to come off the 10-day injured list prior to Friday's game in Atlanta. Carlson has a .650 OPS with four homers in 118 plate appearances across his multiple stints with the Orioles in 2025.

Orioles' Dylan Carlson: Back in majors
The Orioles recalled Carlson from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.
The veteran outfielder was demoted over the weekend but will quickly return to the big leagues with Emmanuel Rivera getting designated for assignment. Carlson should serve as Baltimore's No. 4 outfielder, though he may not stick in the majors long since Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) is nearing his return from the injured list.

Orioles' Dylan Carlson: Sent down to minors
The Orioles optioned Carlson to Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.
Carlson started four of Baltimore's past seven games but went 2-for-17 at the plate during that span. He's posted a .667 OPS across 115 major-league plate appearances this season and will now get a chance to work on his stroke in the minors. In a corresponding move, infielder Emmanuel Rivera had his contract selected from Norfolk.

Orioles' Dylan Carlson: On bench Monday
Carlson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.
Though he'll be in danger of fading into a fourth-outfielder role once Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) makes his return from the injured list, Carlson has been a fairly stable presence in the lineup in recent weeks. He'll be on the bench for the series opener versus Texas but had started in eight of the previous 11 games while slashing .367/.367/.500 with a home run and a steal during that stretch.
