[15] Karns finished the season 2–2 with a 4.17 ERA in nine games (eight starts). He missed the entire 2018 season with right elbow inflammation.

[18] He appeared in four games before being placed on the disabled list with a forearm strain. On July 26, Karns was designated for assignment by the Orioles. [19] He cleared waivers and was sent outright to the Triple–A Norfolk Tides on August 2. Karns was released by the Orioles organization on August 7. [20]
