Notes on Bundy, Chen and Steve Johnson

Notes on Bundy, Chen and Steve Johnson
Pitcher Dylan Bundy was examined today by Orioles orthopedist Dr. John Wilckens, and he's headed down to Florida to visit orthopedist Dr. James Andrews. Orioles manager Buck Showalter didn't provide any additional information on Bundy, who felt discomfort in his right forearm/elbow again yesterday while throwing from 120 feet in Sarasota. Andrews administered the platelet rich plasma injection on April 29. Bundy had been diagnosed with right flexor mass tightness in the area where the...

Casilla starting at second base for Orioles
A six-game hitting streak isn't enough to get Ryan Flaherty in the Orioles' lineup tonight against the Cleveland Indians at Camden Yards.

Catcher Matt Wieters is batting sixth after being lowered to seventh last night and hitting a home run.

This, that and the other

This, that and the other
Nick Markakis went 2-for-4 with a home run last night to record his 27th multi-hit game this season. Only four players in the American League had more than 27. Markakis has 363 career multi-hit games, leaving him two behind Melvin Mora for the 10th-most in franchise history. Markakis is batting .438 (7-for-16) with a home run, a walk and two runs scored in his last four games against the Indians dating to July 21, 2012. Among players with at least 50 at-bats against the American League...

Showalter speaks after 5-2 loss

Showalter speaks after 5-2 loss
Zach Britton took a shutout into the sixth inning tonight and ended up taking a loss. Britton didn't retire a batter in the sixth and allowed three runs in the Orioles' 5-2 loss to the Indians at Camden Yards. "Just elevated some balls, lost his command," said manager Buck Showalter. "Strikes and balls, and straightened some out. He had pretty good movement, late life. He got out of some potential sticky situations, but I thought he pitched well for five innings. But he wasn't able......

Orioles lead and Britton vanish in sixth (O's lose 5-2)

Orioles lead and Britton vanish in sixth (O's lose 5-2)
Orioles left-hander Zach Britton was headed toward a quality start. Now he's headed for the showers. Britton took a two-hit shutout into the sixth inning and didn't retire a batter. The fifth Indians hitter, Michael Brantley, singled past Britton into center field to score two runs and give Cleveland a 3-2 lead. Tommy Hunter stranded two inherited runners by retiring the next three batters. Britton is charged with three runs and six hits in five-plus innings, with three walks, five...

Markakis homers in 1st inning (Wieters homers in 4th)

Markakis homers in 1st inning (Wieters homers in 4th)
Nick Markakis, trying to hold onto the third outfield spot in the American League for the 84th All-Star Game at Citi Field, padded his home run total with his eighth of the season in the bottom of the first inning to give the Orioles a 1-0 lead over the Indians. Indians starter Ubaldo Jimenez threw a changeup and curveball to Markakis before challenging him with a 93 mph fastball. It kept carrying until it cleared the center field fence. Markakis hadn't homered since connecting off former...

Quick hits before tonight's game

Quick hits before tonight's game
The Orioles are taking batting practice under a darkening sky. Looks like we could get some rain. Wei-Yin Chen threw his four-inning simulated game today in Sarasota, and he's going to board a 6 p.m. flight to Baltimore. Chen will throw a bullpen session here and report to an affiliate on Saturday to begin an injury-rehab assignment that should last only one or two starts. Second baseman Brian Roberts will join Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday to begin his rehab assignment. Manager Buck Showalter...

Gausman recalled, replaces Garcia on roster (updated)

Gausman recalled, replaces Garcia on roster (updated)
Kevin Gausman is listed among the Orioles' relievers for tonight's game against the Indians. Freddy Garcia is no longer listed among the starters and said he has been put on waivers. More accurately, he has been optioned to Triple-A Norfolk. However, Garcia apparently can decline the assignment and become a free agent, which appears to be his choice. The Orioles haven't made an announcement, but one is pending. Gausman has been recalled from Triple-A Norfolk and could make Friday...

The rotation, the lineup and other stuff

The rotation, the lineup and other stuff
The Orioles need to make a roster move this afternoon or they need left-hander Zach Britton to give them innings tonight. T.J. McFarland worked 4 1/3 innings yesterday in Toronto. An early exit by Britton would require some baton passing and really tax the bullpen. The Orioles must make a decision on Freddy Garcia. They're willing to put him in the bullpen, though they would have to create a spot for him. Is he a better option in the rotation than Kevin Gausman or Jair Jurrjens? Steve...

What's next for Garcia? (O's lose 13-5)

What's next for Garcia? (O's lose 13-5)
Do the Orioles keep Freddy Garcia in the rotation after today's start, or do they consider the alternatives at Triple-A Norfolk? Garcia turned in his shortest start today, lasting only 2 1/3 innings, and was charged with a season-high seven runs. He allowed seven hits, walked two, struck out one, gave up a home run and hit a batter. Manager Buck Showalter removed Garcia after 61 pitches. Over his last two starts, Garcia has allowed 12 runs and 15 hits in 7 2/3 innings. He hasn't strung...

Orioles waste chance, Blue Jays take advantage (updated)

Orioles waste chance, Blue Jays take advantage (updated)
The Orioles loaded the bases with two outs in the top of the first inning today, and catcher Matt Wieters fouled out to Blue Jays catcher J.P. Acencibia. The Blue Jays loaded the bases with two outs in the bottom of the first inning, and Freddy Garcia hit Arencibia to force in a run. Wieters has only five hits in his last 34 at-bats, lowering his average to .232. He has three RBIs over his last 15 games since June 5. Garcia threw 32 pitches in the first, striking out Maicer Izturis to end...

Retaliation won't be on Sunday's menu

Retaliation won't be on Sunday's menu
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista managed to circle the bases yesterday at his usual speed despite carrying a large chip on his shoulder. Bautista sought revenge on Orioles reliever Darren O'Day, and his tie-breaking, two-run homer pretty much did the trick. But he wasn't content with letting his bat do the talking. Bautista chirped and gestured at O'Day, whose enthusiastic reaction to striking him out the previous night led to yesterday's follow-up exchange of words. Plenty of...

Another quality start for Gonzalez and RBI for Teagarden (O's lose 4-2)

Another quality start for Gonzalez and RBI for Teagarden (O's lose 4-2)
The only thing missing from Miguel Gonzalez's start today was run support. And maybe a better plan against Blue Jays third baseman Maicer Izturis. Gonzalez allowed only three hits in 7 1/3 innings - Adam Lind's single in the first, Izturis' first-pitch home run in the fifth and Munenori Kawasaki's bouncer up the middle with one out in the eighth. The Jays led 2-1 before Taylor Teagarden launched his second home run of the season in the top of the eighth to tie the game. Gonzalez walked...

Orioles searching for first run (O's down 2-1)

Orioles searching for first run (O's down 2-1)
Miguel Gonzalez has four strikeouts in the first three innings today against the Toronto Blue Jays. All of them are called third strikes. Gonzalez punched out Munesori Kawasaki in the third inning. Not literally, though there must be a slight temptation. Kawasaki was batting .229 before today, but .321 vs. the Orioles. Eight of his 17 RBIs came against them. Gonzalez has allowed only one hit in three innings, but his wild pitch in the first gave the Blue Jays a 1-0 lead. He's retired seven...

Steve Johnson begins throwing progression
Orioles pitcher Steve Johnson began his throwing progress today with a game of catch at the Ed Smith Stadium complex in Sarasota. Johnson made 25 throws from 60 feet. He's waiting to find out what's next on his schedule. Johnson, on the disabled list with a strained left oblique, sent out the following tweet earlier this morning: "Threw today and felt good! Hopin to be back soon. Tired of being in Sarasota. Can't wait to get back" This is the latest piece of encouraging injury/rehab...
