Showalter, Tillman and Hardy after 8-6 loss

Showalter, Tillman and Hardy after 8-6 loss
ARLINGTON, Texas - The Orioles may not be able to wait until Saturday to make a roster move. After using Brad Brach for 3 1/3 innings and calling upon five relievers tonight, manager Buck Showalter indicated that the club may need to bring up a pitcher for Friday night's series opener against the Athletics at Camden Yards. Showalter would prefer a right-handed long man to back up left-hander Wei-Yin Chen, and Brach isn't available. Kevin Gausman, a candidate to start on Saturday, would be...

Hardy with three-error night (O's lose 8-6)

Hardy with three-error night (O's lose 8-6)
ARLINGTON, Texas - How strange is tonight's game? Gold Glove shortstop J.J. Hardy has committed three errors, including two in the seventh inning that enabled the Rangers to take a 6-5 lead. Hardy's never made more than two errors in a game. His only two-error night was back on June 6, 2007 with the Brewers. The Orioles' other three-error game this season came on April 20 in Boston, - one by Jonathan Schoop, one by David Lough and one by Ryan Flaherty on the since-abolished transfer...

Tillman matches shortest start of season (we're tied)

Tillman matches shortest start of season (we're tied)
ARLINGTON, Texas - Pitching on normal rest tonight after being moved up two days, Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman is done after failing to record an out in the second inning. Again. Tillman faced 11 batters and left with the Rangers leading 5-0. He threw 51 pitches, the last resulting in an RBI single for Elvis Andrus. Brad Brach replaced Tillman and got a force and a double play, leaving Tillman with five runs on his ledger. Tillman allowed six hits, walked three, struck out one and gave...

Hunter to pitch at Delmarva this weekend

Hunter to pitch at Delmarva this weekend
ARLINGTON, Texas - Orioles reliever Tommy Hunter will pitch at Single-A Delmarva Saturday night on a brief injury rehab assignment. How brief?

Hunter pitched two innings in today's simulated game before batting practice and covered first base. He will be used in relief for the Shorebirds' game against Lakewood that begins at 6:35 p.m. "Saturday, he will drive up to Delmarva," said...

Updating Gonzalez and Norris
ARLINGTON, Texas - Orioles pitcher Miguel Gonzalez said the MRI taken on his right side yesterday came back negative and he still hopes to start this weekend at Camden Yards. The Orioles are prepared to put Gonzalez on the 15-day DL, backdated to Saturday, and recall Kevin Gausman from Triple-A Norfolk or use left-hander T.J. McFarland. However, they will wait until Gonzalez plays catch on Friday before making a final decision. "It's a lot better," said Gonzalez, who has registered four...

Hunter pitches simulated game (and Wieters note)
ARLINGTON, Texas - Orioles reliever Tommy Hunter just completed his simulated game at Globe Life Park, as the club determines whether he's ready to go on an injury rehab assignment or perhaps be activated from the disabled list. David Lough and Ryan Flaherty took their swings against Hunter, who's on the DL with a strained left groin. Coaches Wayne Kirby, Bobby Dickerson and Einar Diaz also took turns. No stats will be kept on this game, of course. Manager Buck Showalter stood on the field...

Rehashing Orioles news, previewing tonight's game and striking out cancer
ARLINGTON, Texas - Let me make sure I've got it all straight. Miguel Gonzalez underwent an MRI on his right side yesterday and is a strong candidate for the disabled list. Chris Tillman is starting in Gonzalez's place tonight in the series finale against the Rangers, and Kevin Gausman may be recalled from Triple-A Norfolk and start Saturday night against the Athletics at Camden Yards. Bud Norris left last night's game after five innings with a right forearm contusion and will be re-evaluated...

Hearing from Norris and Markakis following 6-5 win

Hearing from Norris and Markakis following 6-5 win
ARLINGTON, Texas - Bud Norris said his right forearm is "pretty sore" tonight after he was nailed by a Mitch Moreland comebacker in the fifth inning. Whether he can make his next start is up in the air. "You never want to get smoked by a comebacker, but the trainers will look at it the next couple days and get rid of the swelling as best I can," Norris said following the Orioles' 6-5 win over the Rangers. "I don't know. I've really got to see how it is tomorrow. The swelling is...

Showalter updates Gonzalez and Norris injuries
ARLINGTON, Texas - Orioles manager Buck Showalter said the club is leaning toward placing pitcher Miguel Gonzalez on the 15-day disabled list. Gonzalez underwent an MRI this afternoon after complaining of pain on his right side. The results were more favorable than anticipated, but he's still expected to go on the DL. A decision will be made by Friday. Left-hander T.J. McFarland and Kevin Gausman are the other candidates to start Saturday. "MRI was better than we thought it might be, so...

Norris hit on arm, Beltre keeps hitting the Orioles (O's win 6-5)
ARLINGTON, Texas - Orioles starter Bud Norris stayed in tonight's game after taking a shot off his right forearm from Rangers first baseman Mitch Moreland in the bottom of the fifth inning. The next batter, Adrian Beltre, hit his second home run of the night and his third of the series to tie the game 5-5. Norris threw three pitches to test the arm before sending head athletic trainer Richie Bancells and manager Buck Showalter back to the dugout. Beltre dug in and drove a 93 mph fastball an...

Gausman, Santana and game updates (Davis homers)
ARLINGTON, Texas - Johan Santana is scheduled to throw five innings or 75 pitches Friday at extended spring training in Sarasota. The rest of Santana's schedule must be determined, but he could report to Triple-A Norfolk to begin a rehab assignment. Kevin Gausman worked one inning and threw 26 pitches tonight for Norfolk, allowing three runs and two hits, walking one, striking out two and serving up a home run. He was removed from the game in case the Orioles need him to start Saturday night...

ARLINGTON, Texas - Chris Tillman took his normal work day yesterday and is ready to pitch on regular rest Thursday night in the series finale against the Rangers. Tillman is taking Miguel Gonzalez's turn, leaving Saturday's starter a mystery. "This is normal rest and everything," Tillman said. "I was throwing as much in between if I was starting that day anyway." The Orioles are waiting on the results of Gonzalez's MRI, braced for the possibility that he's headed to the disabled list...

Tonight's pitching matchup and notes on Joseph and Pearce

Tonight's pitching matchup and notes on Joseph and Pearce
ARLINGTON, Texas - Bud Norris has faced the Rangers once in his major league career. Nick Martinez has never pitched against the Orioles. Not a lot of history in tonight's matchup at Globe Life Park. Norris is 1-4 with a 4.71 ERA in six road starts this season. In his only outing against the Rangers on March 31, 2013, he picked up the win in Houston after allowing two runs over 5 2/3 innings. Norris hasn't pitched since May 28 because manager Buck Showalter decided to tweak his rotation...

Cruz in control against former team

Cruz in control against former team
ARLINGTON, Texas - It began as an uneventful homecoming tonight for Nelson Cruz at Glove Life Park. He received a warm ovation before his first at-bat and went hitless in four trips to the plate before getting another chance in the eighth. The Orioles already had scored three runs to break a 2-2 tie. Cruz tacked on three more with his 21st home run of the season. He won't soon forget his return to Arlington. "It feels good. It's just different," he said. "It was kind of weird. It was...

Hearing from Showalter, Joseph and Jimenez after 8-3 win

Hearing from Showalter, Joseph and Jimenez after 8-3 win
ARLINGTON, Texas - Orioles manager Buck Showalter said he almost removed Nelson Cruz from tonight's game due to leg cramps that surfaced around the fourth inning. Good thing he chose to stick with Cruz, who made a slow trot around the bases after his three-run homer in the eighth contributed mightily to the Orioles' 8-3 victory over the Rangers at Globe Life Park. Showalter wondered before the game whether Cruz would be amped up facing his former team for the first time. "It was just the...

Joseph takes turn as hero, Cruz homers against former team (O's win 8-3)

Joseph takes turn as hero, Cruz homers against former team (O's win 8-3)
ARLINGTON, Texas - Show of hands if you were sitting at home tonight yelling for Orioles manager Buck Showalter to send up a pinch-hitter for Caleb Joseph in the eighth inning. A bar, your car or a friend's house also count. The point is, you questioned why he was batting with runners on first and second and one out in a tie game. Now you wonder whether an apology will suffice. Joseph lined a double into right-center field off Texas reliever Alexi Ogando to score Delmon Young and give the...

Jones, Beltre homer in tonight's game (we're tied)
ARLINGTON, Texas - Adam Jones produced the first run of tonight's game with a home run to right field, the ball glancing off the foul pole to give the Orioles a brief 1-0 lead. Doesn't that make it a fair pole? Don't overthink it. Leading off the top of the fourth inning, Jones saw four straight fastballs from former teammate Joe Saunders. He lined the last one, clocked at 92 mph, to right field for his first homer since May 18 in Kansas City, when he connected off Aaron Crow in the...
