The Orioles selected the slugger second overall in the 2020 draft, but he didn’t make his professional debut until two years later. Kjerstad missed the entire 2021 campaign as he recovered from the heart condition myocarditis, and his return in 2022 was delayed because of a severe hamstring strain.

Heston Kjerstad is back with the Orioles, finally free of concussion symptoms and feeling good about his swing and his health.He is batting fourth as the DH today, so thrust right back into the mix in a prominent spot.

The Orioles activated outfielder Heston Kjerstad and right-handed reliever Jacob Webb from the injured list prior to Sunday's game at the Tigers.
