Aceves opting out of contract

Aceves opting out of contract
SARASOTA, Fla. - Reliever Alfredo Aceves was informed tonight that he won't make the Orioles' 25-man roster coming out of spring training. As a result, Aceves will opt out of his contract, according to an industry source. Aceves, 31, allowed five earned runs and 11 hits in 10 innings, with two walks and six strikeouts. The Orioles signed Aceves to a minor league deal on Jan. 15 after he spent the last three seasons with the Red Sox, saving 25 games in 2012. Evan Meek appears to have...

Cruz fine after being hit in helmet, removed from game
SARASOTA, Fla. - Orioles designated hitter Nelson Cruz came out of tonight's game in the bottom of the fourth inning after being hit on the left side of the batting helmet by a pitch from Rays starter Alex Cobb. Cruz dropped to his knees but quickly stood up as head athletic trainer Richie Bancells and manager Buck Showalter ran out of the dugout. Cruz walked to the clubhouse with Bancells as fans gave him an ovation. Bancells kept a hand on Cruz to steady him, but he appeared to be...

Santana filled with encouragement on full mound

Santana filled with encouragement on full mound
SARASOTA, Fla. - While the Orioles performed pickoff and outfield drills and took batting practice on the replica Camden Yards field this afternoon, Johan Santana quietly threw a bullpen session between two other practice fields, away from the view of his teammates and manager Buck Showalter. Santana advanced to a full mound and drew praise from assistant athletic trainer Chris Correnti and pitching rehab coordinator Scott McGregor. "I felt pretty good, and the thing is I'm able to recover...

Reimold: "I'm ready for these neck issues to be over and done with"
SARASOTA, Fla. - As he waits for the Orioles to officially place him on the 15-day disabled list, outfielder Nolan Reimold wants to stress again that he hasn't suffered a new injury to his neck. He hasn't experienced any setbacks. His recovery from corrective surgery in July to fuse two vertebrae in his neck has enabled him to swing the bat without discomfort. The issue is playing the outfield and looking up while running after fly balls. "I don't have a problem swinging," said Reimold,...

Notes during batting practice

Notes during batting practice
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles may not make any cuts tonight, with the majority coming on Saturday. They're supposed to play Triple-A Norfolk in an exhibition game at Harbor Park. However, the forecast is calling for a 100 percent change of rain. Doesn't look promising. Thirty-six players remain in camp and the Orioles need to get down to 25 by 3 p.m. Sunday. The Orioles continue to check the waiver wire. They considered a claim yesterday - I don't know which player - and decided against...

Orioles and Rays lineups

Orioles and Rays lineups
SARASOTA, Fla. - A light rain continues to fall at the Ed Smith Stadium complex, and it's a familiar sight for the Orioles, who have lost four games due to inclement weather. What's one more? We're up to four rainouts and four ties, for those of you keeping score at home. The Orioles are hoping to keep score on the main field and give Ubaldo Jimenez a final start before he takes the mound on April 2 at Camden Yards.

Squeezing the last game out of the Grapefruit League
SARASOTA, Fla. - We've reached the end. It's the last Grapefruit League game before the Orioles break camp. They're playing at night again, and they're playing the Rays again, and they're facing Alex Cobb again after he struck out 12 Orioles in seven innings Saturday in a game that, yes, ended in a tie. It's really time to go home. Ubaldo Jimenez makes his last start before taking the mound on April 2 at Camden Yards. He allowed two runs over six innings in his most recent outing...

Showalter speaks after 4-4 tie
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. - Josh Stinson posted an unusual line tonight. Two innings, no hits, one unearned run, three walks, six strikeouts. The tying run scored in the ninth on Stinson's throwing error. The Orioles have played to four ties this spring. It's time to go home. Stinson didn't allow an earned run in nine innings. "Josh has had a good spring," said manager Buck Showalter. "He's making it tough on us." Seems simple to me. Stinson is out of options and has earned a spot in...

Showalter on DL situations

Showalter on DL situations
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. - Nolan Reimold can swing the bat without any discomfort in his surgically repaired neck. It's playing the outfield that's causing problems and has led to the Orioles' decision to place him on the 15-day disabled list, a move that will be announced before opening day. "The two times he tried, looking up bothered him some," said manager Buck Showalter. "You've probably got to be able to look up to play the outfield, depending on your pitching staff. But this buys us...

Orioles make four cuts, Reimold scratched from lineup
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. - The Orioles have optioned pitcher Steve Johnson and outfielder Henry Urrutia to Triple-A Norfolk and reassigned outfielder Quintin Berry and infielder Alexi Casilla to minor league camp. With this move, the Orioles now have 36 players at major league spring training, including four non-roster invitees. Casilla signed a minor league deal on Jan. 10 and appeared to be the leading candidate to serve in a utility role, but hamstring and knee injuries limited his...

They make another trip to Fort Myers today for a 1:05 p.m. game against the Red Sox, but they take a left turn at the Daniels Parkway exit off Interstate 75 instead of going right toward the Twins complex. Miguel Gonzalez gets the start for the Orioles, who will head back toward Sarasota and make a stop in Port Charlotte...
