Wieters removed from game after rolling ankle (and Peguero note)

Wieters removed from game after rolling ankle (and Peguero note)
SARASOTA, Fla. - Orioles catcher Matt Wieters came out of today's game in the top of the fifth inning after rolling his ankle at third base. The removal was done as a precaution, according to manager Buck Showalter. The club hasn't scheduled an X-ray. Wieters, who earlier had drawn a bases-loaded walk and advanced on a wild pitch, was running to third base on Ryan Flaherty's ground ball with two outs in the bottom of the fourth inning. Wieters is icing the ankle to prevent swelling. He...

Orioles make three cuts (game update and Gonzalez quotes)
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles have reassigned three players to minor league camp - pitcher Eddie Gamboa, infielder Cord Phelps and outfielder Julio Borbon. The moves leave the Orioles with 50 players in camp, including 12 non-roster invitees. Gamboa didn't allow a run in 4 2/3 innings over five appearances. He walked one and struck out six.

Hearing from Matusz and Machado (game update)

Hearing from Matusz and Machado (game update)
SARASOTA, Fla. - Orioles starter Miguel Gonzalez retired the Red Sox in order in the top of the first inning today, getting a line drive to short and two ground balls. He threw 13 pitches, eight for strikes. A.J. Pierzynski doubled leading off the second, but Gonzalez retired the next three batters. By my unofficial count, he threw nine of his 10 pitches for strikes. Update: Gonzalez gave up two runs in the third, including Brock Holt's leadoff home run on the first pitch. Daniel Nava...

Notes on Matusz, Peguero, Jones, Reimold, Paul and cuts

Notes on Matusz, Peguero, Jones, Reimold, Paul and cuts
SARASOTA, Fla. - It's been a noteworthy day in Orioles camp. Left-hander Brian Matusz suffered an allergic reaction to peanuts Sunday night and may not pitch today. He's scheduled to follow starter Miguel Gonzalez. Matusz went to the emergency room and had a second reaction. My guess is he pitches today. From what I've been told, he's fine and expects to take the mound against the Red Sox. Update: Matusz says he can pitch today. He said he was tired yesterday, but is fine...

Outfielder Xavier Paul is listed among the reserves after taking a fastball off his right hand yesterday and being sent for X-rays.

Gonzalez note and Red Sox lineup

Gonzalez note and Red Sox lineup
SARASOTA, Fla. - Ask any manager about starting pitching, and he'll reply that you never have enough of it. The Orioles are in that mode despite appearing to have an ample supply, and Miguel Gonzalez has unintentionally provided a shining example. Gonzalez was slowed early in camp by back spasms, which occurred while he covered first base in a fielding drill. And he needed X-rays on his left shin Friday after being nailed by a comebacker just three batters into his outing. Gonzalez is...

This, that and the other
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles take the field to stretch at 9:30 a.m. today and the clubhouse is closed to the media until players return to it two hours later. No morning access due to a meeting. Miguel Gonzalez will make his first start since taking a comebacker off his left shin, spinning and landing behind the mound. The Red Sox are starting right-hander Allen Webster. The Orioles have scored 36 runs in their last four games over three days. Is that a lot? Outfielder Quintin Berry is...

Gamboa gets save in 7-6 win

Gamboa gets save in 7-6 win
BRADENTON, Fla. - How many closers can float a knuckleball while recording a save? Eddie Gamboa registered one today in the Orioles' 7-6 victory over the Pirates at McKechnie Field. He picked off Chase d'Arnaud after a leadoff single and struck out former Oriole Robert Andino. Gamboa hasn't allowed a run in 4 2/3 innings over five appearances this spring. He's walked one and struck out six. Is manager Buck Showalter intrigued by the idea of a knuckleballing closer? "No," Showalter...

Clevenger homers, former Orioles drive in runs against Tillman (updated)
BRADENTON, Fla. - The Pride of Pigtown put the Orioles on the scoreboard today at McKechnie Field. Steve Clevenger, fighting Johnny Monell for the backup catching job, lined a home run over the right field fence leading off the top of the second to reduce Pittsburgh's lead to 2-1. Clevenger is 5-for-13 with one home run and five RBIs this spring. Monell is 4-for-11 with one home run and five RBIs. Defense will be the deciding factor. Showalter has stated that the club is aware of Monell's...

More cuts on Tuesday, Orioles could break camp with 13 pitchers

More cuts on Tuesday, Orioles could break camp with 13 pitchers
BRADENTON, Fla. - The Orioles will make two or three more cuts on Tuesday, according to manager Buck Showalter. Showalter said he's toying with the idea of taking 13 pitchers north when the Orioles break camp. The alternative, of course, is going with a four-man bench. "I haven't ruled any of that out," he said. "There's a lot of different matchups here. This time of year, I'm considering anything. "There's a part of you, I'd say 20 or 30 percent, that goes, 'What really impacts...

Orioles and Pirates lineups (updated)
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles take their 8-2 record, the best in the Grapefruit League, to Bradenton today for a 1:05 p.m. game against the Pirates. It's the shortest trip of the spring. It also means sitting on a bar stool with an obstructed view in the press box, and the Pirates don't feed the media. But it's a short drive and a fair tradeoff. Most of the regulars are staying back today, as manager Buck Showalter indicated following yesterday's 9-2 win over the Pirates. For the...

Can Meek inherit a bullpen spot with the Orioles?

Can Meek inherit a bullpen spot with the Orioles?
SARASOTA, Fla. - As the final minutes ticked away during last month's FanFest in Baltimore, pitching coach Dave Wallace and bullpen coach Dom Chiti walked across the street to watch a free agent throw at Camden Yards. It was done discreetly. A tryout that didn't draw the attention of reporters preoccupied with the day's events. Later, I heard that the Orioles might sign a player to a minor league deal, the odds placed at 50-50. For a team unable to pull off a big move over the winter, it...

Marrero reassigned, Duquette addresses Santana speculation
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles have reassigned first baseman Chris Marrero to minor league camp due to an oblique injury that has kept him out of workouts and games. Marrero could return once he's finally healthy and get some at-bats in Grapefruit League games, but he's off the camp roster. More cuts are coming later today. Center fielder Adam Jones will leave camp on Tuesday for the birth of his first child, which will take place the following day. Suk-min Yoon threw a bullpen session...
