The Baltimore Orioles placed veteran right-hander Dean Kremer on the 15-day injured list with a right quad strain, the team announced on Thursday evening.
Kremer was slated to start Friday night's series opener against the visiting Boston Red Sox. The Orioles have recalled righty Brandon Young from Triple-A Norfolk and announced that he would make the start.
In a surprise move, Kremer, a seven-year veteran, opened the season in Norfolk as he was squeezed out of Baltimore's five-man rotation. He returned on April 13 and allowed two earned runs in five innings but did not figure in the decision as the Orioles defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks, 9-7.
Kremer (0-1, 4.09 ERA) started in Cleveland on Saturday, permitting three runs in six innings but suffered the loss in a 4-2 setback.
The 30-year old owns a 41-41 record and 4.26 ERA in 128 games (125 starts) for Baltimore.
Young was recalled on April 6 to replace Zach Eflin, who was lost for the season and has undergone Tommy John surgery. Young earned the win in a 2-1 decision over the Chicago White Sox, blanking the hosts over five innings. Young allowed two hits, two walks and fanned a pair of batters.
Young earned a ticket back to Norfolk after that start. He started a dozen games for the Orioles in 2025, posting a 1-7 record and 6.24 ERA.
Young did not face Boston in 2025.
