Casilla scratched from lineup (with Lough update)

Casilla scratched from lineup (with Lough update)
SARASOTA, Fla. - A frustrating spring continues for infielder Alexi Casilla. Casilla is sitting at his locker instead of making the trip to Dunedin for today's game against the Blue Jays. He's been scratched from the Orioles lineup because of swelling in his left knee. "They pushed me off the bus," Casilla said. A rare moment of levity from a player who is irritated to be left behind today. Casilla was supposed to start at shortstop, but Jonathan Schoop will take his place. He was...

Updating Markakis and Machado

Updating Markakis and Machado
SARASOTA, Fla. - Nick Markakis has an ice pack on his left shoulder this morning, the standard treatment for tendinitis. However, Markakis said he will start in right field for the Orioles Monday afternoon in Clearwater in a split-squad game against the Phillies. "Just a little spring training arm soreness," said Markakis, who served as the designated hitter yesterday. "Nothing too alarming. It's been pretty much back to normal the past couple days, so it's been good." Markakis, who's...

Alex Gonzalez continues to make a favorable impression
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles are making their only trip to Dunedin today to play the Blue Jays. Miguel Gonzalez gets the start. Other Orioles scheduled to pitch include Alfredo Aceves, Steve Johnson and Brad Brach. Gonzalez limped to his locker yesterday morning with a huge ice pack wrapped around his lower left leg. Reporters drifted over to his locker to make sure that Gonzalez hadn't re-injured his shin after being drilled by a line drive. Nope. Gonzalez had gotten his daily treatment...

SARASOTA, Fla. - Alexi Casilla will start at shortstop for the Orioles in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays in Dunedin. Center fielder Adam Jones is a surprise addition to the travel roster after getting back to Sarasota today. Left fielder David Lough is day-to-day. He was sent home after lunch today to "take it easy," said manager Buck Showalter. "Get away from some of the wear and tear. Get him out of the weight room, too," Showalter said.

Tillman's terrific today (updated)

Tillman's terrific today (updated)
SARASOTA, Fla. - Chris Tillman became the first Oriole this spring to pitch into the fifth inning today, and he wasn't done. Tillman came back out for the start of the sixth and gave up a leadoff home run to Yankees first baseman and No. 9 hitter Francisco Arcia. That was the only run allowed by Tillman, who surrendered three hits, walked two and struck out five in 5 1/3 innings. Zach Britton replaced Tillman in the sixth. He allowed a single to Brian Roberts and struck out Kelly Johnson....

Showalter on Machado and other injuries

Showalter on Machado and other injuries
SARASOTA, Fla. - Orioles manager Buck Showalter won't rule out third baseman Manny Machado for opening day. However, the news today that Machado's final knee examination won't take place on Tuesday as tentatively scheduled presents a serious obstacle in getting him in the March 31 lineup. Machado hasn't run in five days due to scar tissue breaking up in the knee, a common occurrence following surgery. "That's resolving itself pretty good right now and I think he will probably get back...

Updates on Machado, Lough and more
SARASOTA, Fla. - Orioles third baseman Manny Machado won't have his knee examined on Tuesday in Los Angeles, further reducing his chances of being ready on opening day. Machado hasn't run in five days because of scar tissue breaking up in the knee. It's nothing serious, but Machado can't undergo an exam by Dr. Neal ElAttrache until he's able to run. Manager Buck Showalter wouldn't rule out Machado for opening day, citing how Nolan Reimold is getting plenty of at-bats at minor league...

Injury updates on Wieters and Casilla, and Yankees lineup

Injury updates on Wieters and Casilla, and Yankees lineup
SARASOTA, Fla. - Catcher Matt Wieters still expects to be back in the Orioles lineup Monday night at Ed Smith Stadium. Wieters is being held out of today's game against the Yankees while continuing to receive treatment on his sprained right ankle. He wouldn't have made the trip to Dunedin on Sunday regardless of his health situation. "In spring training, you don't want to hurt anything else or make it worse, so a couple more days, try to completely knock it out, then be good to go," he...

No longer making a case for Casilla

No longer making a case for Casilla
SARASOTA, Fla. - As soon as the Orioles signed Alexi Casilla to a minor league contract in January, I penciled him onto the 25-man roster as a utility infielder. No doubt in my mind. Casilla would back up at second base, short and third. He was a necessity with Ryan Flaherty projected as Brian Roberts' replacement at second. He offered more versatility than Jemile Weeks. What could possibly go wrong? Well, let's start with the injury to Casilla's right hamstring and continue with his...

Showalter speaks after 2-2 tie
FORT MYERS, Fla. - The Orioles had enough pitching to play the 10th inning today, but the Twins were running short due to split-squad games. They also were playing the Rays in Port Charlotte. Former Orioles farmhand Brandon Waring homered off Orioles left-hander Troy Patton with two outs in the bottom of the ninth to account for the 2-2 tie. Patton walked the leadoff hitter and got a double play. Patton has pitched twice for the Orioles this spring and allowed two home runs in two...

Game update and quotes from Showalter (Chen update, Urrutia homers)

Game update and quotes from Showalter (Chen update, Urrutia homers)
FORT MYERS, Fla. - The Orioles loaded the bases with no outs in the second inning against Twins starter Mike Pelfrey, but they scored only once on Quintin Berry's sacrifice fly to the warning track in right field. Steve Clevenger led off with a single, making him 8-for-17 this spring. Nolan Reimold walked and Jonathan Schoop lined a single into left field, making him 10-for-21. Is that good? Reimold held up on a ground ball down the third base line, perhaps assuming it would go foul, and...
