Orioles option Stinson (updated)

Orioles option Stinson (updated)
The Orioles couldn't make it through the night without another roster move. The club announced that it optioned pitcher Josh Stinson to Triple-A Norfolk. A corresponding move will be announced on Friday. Stinson, 25, didn't appear in a game after being recalled yesterday afternoon as the bullpen replacement for Kevin Gausman. He had one previous stint with the Orioles this season, allowing five earned runs in 5 2/3 innings in an April 24 start against the Blue Jays. The Orioles chose to...

Dickerson update, and Showalter speaks after 3-1 win

Dickerson update, and Showalter speaks after 3-1 win
Orioles outfielder Chris Dickerson received a cortisone injection in his left shoulder today to speed up his recovery. He took some dry swings and hopes to throw on Friday. Dickerson still isn't scheduled to undergo an MRI and remains available in a limited capacity. Manager Buck Showalter said Dickerson should be "full-go very shortly." "He's had some issues there before that were a lot more of a serious nature, so he's got a pretty good feel for what he's dealing with and he said...

Davis sets career highs, Gonzalez's streak and mishaps in middle (O's win 3-1)

Davis sets career highs, Gonzalez's streak and mishaps in middle (O's win 3-1)
Orioles first baseman Chris Davis must be feeling better. Or maybe he doesn't have time for the pain. Davis, still playing despite a sinus infection, snapped an 0-for-17 streak with a home run in the second inning to give the Orioles a 1-0 lead over the Rangers. Davis also had been 1-for-24 with 13 strikeouts before the at-bat. His last home run was July 6 off the Yankees' Andy Pettitte. OK, that's not much of a dry spell, but he was struggling at the plate before unloading against...

Showalter on Urrutia: "I think he's getting closer to being an option"

Showalter on Urrutia: "I think he's getting closer to being an option"
The Orioles didn't make any roster moves today. Chris Dickerson avoided the disabled list. No decision has been made whether to option Wei-Yin Chen and give him a start in the minors during the break. And Cuban outfielder Henry Urrutia stayed at Triple-A Norfolk. Urrutia started in left field today for the Tides and went 1-for-4 with an RBI single. He's batting .357 in 14 games since his promotion from Double-A Bowie. It doesn't appear that the Orioles have any immediate plans to select his...

Updates on Dickerson, Johnson, Thames and Davis

Updates on Dickerson, Johnson, Thames and Davis
Team orthopedist Dr. John Wilckens will examine Chris Dickerson's left shoulder later today, but the outfielder isn't expected to need an MRI on Friday. Dickerson is feeling much better and plans to swing a bat. He seems likely to avoid a trip to the disabled list. Steve Johnson (oblique) threw batting practice today in Sarasota. The session went well, which could lead to a simulated game at the Ed Smith Stadium complex. Eric Thames, who's been sidelined with a fractured bone in his left...

Orioles and Rangers lineups

Orioles and Rangers lineups
The Orioles were expecting to face Yu Darvish in the final game of their series against the Rangers. Instead, they get one of their former minor leaguers, Ross Wolf, after Darvish was placed on the disabled list. Only three current Orioles have faced Wolf. Chris Davis is 1-for-2 with a strikeout, Taylor Teagarden is 0-for-2 with a strikeout and Ryan Flaherty is 0-for-1. The Orioles haven't made a roster move today, but Chris Dickerson remains out of the lineup with a strained left shoulder....

Wada takes giant step backward today

Wada takes giant step backward today
Just as it appeared that left-hander Tsuyoshi Wada was getting close to being a consideration for the Orioles pitching staff, he turned in a dreadful start today for Triple-A Norfolk against the Gwinnett Braves. Wada was charged with seven runs and 13 hits in five-plus innings, with one walk, three strikeouts and two home runs. He faced one batter in the sixth without recording an out, and Mark Hendrickson let the inherited runner score. Wada threw 78 pitches, 52 for strikes. In his four...

How much longer before Urrutia arrives? (updated)

How much longer before Urrutia arrives? (updated)
After a slow start, Cuban outfielder Henry Urrutia is giving International League pitching the same rough treatment that he dished out in the Eastern League. Urrutia went 5-for-5 last night for Triple-A Norfolk to raise his average to .365 in 13 games - the same average he posted in 52 games at Double-A Bowie. Overall, he's hitting .365/.429/.536 with 20 doubles, one triple, seven homers, 42 RBIs, 44 runs scored, 28 walks and 42 strikeouts in 252 minor league at-bats. His defense has...

Hearing from Showalter, Roberts and Dickerson after 6-1 win

Hearing from Showalter, Roberts and Dickerson after 6-1 win
The Orioles are deciding whether to option left-hander Wei-Yin Chen during the All-Star break so he can make another start after being sidelined for two months with a strained oblique. Chen made a triumphant return tonight, holding the Rangers to one run and three hits over seven innings in a 6-1 victory at Camden Yards. He hadn't pitched since May 12 in Minnesota. Asked if the Orioles are considering sending down Chen, Showalter replied, "To be frank with you, yes we are. I don't know if...

Nolan Reimold replaced Dickerson as the designated hitter and contributed a three-run homer to the Orioles' 6-1 win over the Rangers.

Reimold delivers in four-run inning (Chen goes seven, O's win 6-1)

Reimold delivers in four-run inning (Chen goes seven, O's win 6-1)
The Orioles sent nine batters to the plate in the fourth inning. They also sent the umpires inside to review a call in center field. By scoring four runs, the Orioles increased their lead to 6-0 over the Rangers on another sweltering night at Camden Yards. Nolan Reimold hit a three-run homer on a fly ball into the left field corner that casually dropped into the first or second row of seats. And yes, I'm going with "casually." Reimold was 3-for-15 since coming off the disabled list. He...

Chen with another drama-free first inning (Machado with RBI triple)

Chen with another drama-free first inning (Machado with RBI triple)
In 32 starts last season, left-hander Wei-Yin Chen posted a 5.91 ERA and allowed seven home runs in the first inning. In his eight starts this season, he posted a 2.25 ERA and didn't surrender a home run in the opening frame. Fresh off the disabled list tonight, Chen retired the Rangers in order in the top of the first inning at Camden Yards. Ian Kinsler flied to center field and Jurickson Profar and Nelson Cruz struck out. Chen threw 21 pitches. Kinsler worked him for six, Profar eight and...

No explanation has been provided. Dickerson was supposed to be the DH and bat eighth against Rangers right-hander Josh Lindblom. Instead, Reimold is the DH and will bat ninth, with second baseman Brian Roberts moving up to eighth. Dickerson flied out to center field to end last night's game...

Showalter's plans for second base

Showalter's plans for second base
Brian Roberts snapped a 1-for-18 streak last night with a game-tying RBI single in the second inning. He was back at second base after serving as the designated hitter in three of the past four games. Orioles manager Buck Showalter has been easing Roberts back onto the field since the hamstring surgery and extended absence. Ryan Flaherty was getting the bulk of the starts at second in Roberts' absence. Alexi Casilla would get some starts against left-handed pitching. Asked if he's...

Britton and Gausman optioned
The Orioles have optioned pitchers Zach Britton and Kevin Gausman to Triple-A Norfolk. The corresponding moves will be announced on Wednesday. Wei-Yin Chen will come off the disabled list and replace Britton in the rotation. The Orioles also will call up a reliever to take Gausman's spot in the bullpen. Britton allowed five runs and eight hits in five innings tonight, with three walks and no strikeouts. No matter how the left-hander pitched, he figured to be sent down because his turn...

Orioles manager Buck Showalter told reporters that his club will make a roster move or moves later tonight. Stay tuned.

It's possible that the Orioles also bring up a fresh bullpen arm. What was the difference in Britton tonight compared to past starts? "Just command," Showalter said. "He's missing...

Britton done after five innings (O's lose 8-4)

Britton done after five innings (O's lose 8-4)
If Zach Britton is making his last start for the Orioles tonight, he isn't leaving on a high note. Britton lasted only five innings and allowed five runs and eight hits, with three walks, no strikeouts and two home runs. He threw 91 pitches, 55 for strikes. Kevin Gausman replaced Britton, who had permitted three earned runs in his last two starts covering 12 1/3 innings. The Orioles could option Britton to Triple-A Norfolk while activating left-hander Wei-Yin Chen, who will start Wednesday...
