Adley Rutschman isn’t the only Baltimore Oriole out of commission these days.
Orioles announcer Ben McDonald couldn’t return to his job following MLB’s All-Star break after he fell 25 feet down from a deer stand last Thursday.

In a video post on Twitter/X from last Friday, McDonald said, “This is what a severe concussion looks like and sounds like! (I still don’t remember anything) Apparently, I fell out of a deer stand 25 feet up yesterday morning….I’m fine and appreciate everyone checking on me,” he wrote. “Very lucky….concussion and 2 cracked vertebra’s….I’ll be back in #Birdland soon calling @Orioles games! Thank you for all ur thoughts and thank you to the Doctors! See yall soon!”
McDonald spent a week out of the booth before returning.
Upon his return to the Orioles’ broadcasting booth on the MASN network this past Friday, his co-broadcaster Kevin Brown and the rest of the MASN crew gave him a large padded helmet and wrapped him in bubble wrap to discourage any future injuries.
McDonald later posted the clip on Twitter/X with the caption, “They got me!” and a laughing emoji.
The Orioles need all the help they can get, even from the broadcast booth—currently, the team is dead-last in the American League East with a record of 47-58.
