Exposito excited to be back, N. Johnson has one more hit

Exposito excited to be back, N. Johnson has one more hit
BOSTON - Luis Exposito is back in Boston - just not the way he once imagined. Exposito signed a minor league contract with the Orioles after being designated for assignment by the Red Sox. As part of baseball's circle of life, he ended up at Fenway Park today after being recalled from Triple-A Norfolk. Exposito takes the roster spot of outfielder Nolan Reimold, who's going on the disabled list with a bulging disk in his cervical spine. "It's a good experience to be there, and hopefully I...

Exposito listed among reserves, Andino leading off

Exposito listed among reserves, Andino leading off
BOSTON - Nolan Reimold isn't listed among the reserves for tonight's game, so he's headed to the disabled list. Luis Exposito is wearing No. 25. I'll post comments from him later today. Robert Andino has moved atop the order, with Wilson Betemit starting in left field and Endy Chavez on the bench against Boston left-hander Jon Lester. For the Orioles: Robert Andino 2B J.J. Hardy SS Nick Markakis RF Adam Jones CF Matt Wieters DH Wilson Betemit LF Chris Davis 1B Mark Reynolds 3B...

Exposito brought to Boston, Red Sox lineup

Exposito brought to Boston, Red Sox lineup
BOSTON - Former Red Sox catcher Luis Exposito, signed by the Orioles as a minor league free agent, was on the field a few minutes ago. He's been summoned from Triple-A Norfolk, which indicates that a roster move is coming. Is Nolan Reimold headed to the disabled list? Exposito is batting .288/.339/.423 with three RBIs in 13 games with the Tides. Exposito is on the 40-man roster, which makes a move less complicated. Then again, the Orioles can transfer Tsuyoshi Wada to the 60-day disabled...

Reimold hasn't joined the team in Boston, according to executive vice president Dan Duquette. More information will become available later today - including whether Reimold could be headed to the disabled list - after manager Buck Showalter meets with reporters during batting practice at Fenway Park.

If the Orioles win tonight ...

If the Orioles win tonight ...
BOSTON - With a win tonight, the Orioles would move eight games above .500 for the first time since July 18, 2005, when they were 50-42 under Lee Mazzilli. Despite winning four of the last five games against Boston and six of the last nine, the Orioles lost the season series, 8-10. They were 5-4 in Baltimore and 3-6 in Boston. The Orioles are 11-13 against the Red Sox (6-6 in Baltimore and 5-7 at Fenway Park) since Buck Showalter was hired in Aug. 2010. Since Sept, 12, 2011, the Orioles have...

Orioles get another crack at Lester tonight

Orioles get another crack at Lester tonight
BOSTON - Teams might want to steer clear of the Orioles. The Red Sox come to Camden Yards for the final series of 2011, get knocked out of the playoff race and lose their manager and general manager. The Yankees host the Orioles in a three-game series this week, lose the last two games and lose their closer to a torn ACL. Beware. Mariano Rivera suffered the injury yesterday while shagging fly balls during batting practice, a routine he's stuck with throughout his career, which may have...

Pineiro debuts with Norfolk (updated)

Pineiro debuts with Norfolk (updated)
BOSTON - Joel Pineiro was added to Triple-A Norfolk's roster and made his debut tonight, going six innings against Indianapolis. Pineiro, signed as a minor league free agent after being released by the Phillies, allowed one run and three hits, walked none and struck out five. He threw 75 pitches, 55 for strikes. One of the hits off Pineiro came from former Oriole Jake Fox, who's batting .385. The Orioles envision Pineiro as a long reliever, which they've been lacking. Not that the bullpen...

Orioles' bullpen continues to provide relief

Orioles' bullpen continues to provide relief
BOSTON - You can point the finger in a lot of different directions when figuring all the ways that the Orioles have bolted to a 16-9 start. The club's bullpen deserves a big hand. Orioles relievers have combined to post a 1.73 ERA heading into Friday night's game against the Red Sox at Fenway Park, the lowest figure in the majors. They've permitted only seven earned runs in their last 53 innings, including a perfect ninth last night from closer Jim Johnson, which largely went unnoticed in...

Should Andino continue to bat ninth?

Should Andino continue to bat ninth?
NEW YORK - I'd just like to point out that I've got a 5-2 road record this season. Chicago couldn't take me. Neither could New York. So what have you got, Boston? I'm getting ready to board another train, where I'll spend about four hours blogging, tweeting, reading or sleeping. I may do all four and shoot for the Mount Rushmore of rail travel. The Orioles are off today, but you can bet that Robert Andino will be in Friday's lineup, and he'll be batting ninth again. Manager Buck...

Getting a charge out of the Orioles' battery

Getting a charge out of the Orioles' battery
NEW YORK - You only had to look 60 feet, 6 inches to find two of the key components in the Orioles' 5-0 victory over the Yankees. Jake Arrieta tore through the Yankees' lineup, shutting them out on five hits over eight innings, walking none and striking out nine. Catcher Matt Wieters guided Arrieta through yet another quality start by the Orioles and added a home run, double, single, walk and two RBIs. "He was great," Wieters said of Arrieta, who hadn't won since Opening Day. "He had a...

Showalter speaks after 5-0 win

Showalter speaks after 5-0 win
NEW YORK - Start spreading the news: The Orioles took two of three in the Bronx. It all started tonight with Jake Arrieta's masterful performance. He shut out the Yankees on five hits over eight innings, didn't walk a batter and tied his career high with nine strikeouts. "I thought the biggest inning was the one after we scored the one run. Go back out there and throw a zero," manager Buck Showalter said after the 5-0 victory. "Jake was as good as you can be, especially with all the...

Arrieta brings his A game (O's win 5-0)
NEW YORK - Once again, an Orioles starter pitched deep in a game tonight. It all starts with starting pitching. Jake Arrieta was superb, blanking the Yankees on five hits over a career-high eight innings. He didn't walk a batter and tied his career high with nine strikeouts. Arrieta also tied Jason Hammel for the longest outing by an Orioles starter this season. Hammel lasted eight innings on April 8. Robert Andino has three hits and a walk from the ninth spot in the order. He's now...

Orioles increase lead, Wada gives statement (updated)

Orioles increase lead, Wada gives statement (updated)
NEW YORK - The Orioles are 2-for-11 with runners in scoring position tonight, and they've stranded eight runners through the sixth inning. Good thing Jake Arrieta is shutting out the Yankees. Robert Andino's infield hit scored Chris Davis in the sixth to increase the Orioles' lead to 2-0. Endy Chavez lined into a double play - the third inning that's ended with him at the plate. He smoked that ball, but he hit it directly at third baseman Eduardo Nunez, who replaced Eric Chavez in the...

Orioles won't get Beckett Saturday (Wieters homers)

Orioles won't get Beckett Saturday (Wieters homers)
NEW YORK - The Orioles aren't the only team adjusting its rotation this weekend. According to a tweet from @GordonEdes, the Red Sox have scratched Josh Beckett from Saturday's start against the Orioles because of a stiff lat muscle. Aaron Cook, just brought up from the minors, will start in Beckett's place. Beckett is 7-5 with a 4.25 ERA in 18 career starts against the Orioles. Cook has never faced the Orioles, though they saw him at least once in spring training. Wilson Betemit is...

Showalter talks about rotation, Reimold and Wada

Showalter talks about rotation, Reimold and Wada
NEW YORK - Manager Buck Showalter explained to reporters earlier today why Tommy Hunter is being held back until Sunday in Boston, with Jason Hammel moving up a day. "Tommy's had an ingrown toenail that he's had cut on," Showalter said. "I just want to give him a couple extra days and get him back to 100 percent. He'll tell you that he is, but we had an opportunity and we'll see if we can give him a couple extra days there. "He threw today. He's fine. He feels good. I just thought we...

Hunter pushed back one day
NEW YORK - Tommy Hunter and Jason Hammel are being flip-flopped in the rotation for this weekend's series in Boston. Hunter had an ingrown toenail removed and is being given an extra day to recover, which lines him up to pitch on Sunday at Fenway Park. Hammel will start on Saturday. The day off tomorrow allows for extra rest for everyone in the rotation. Also, Zach Britton is scheduled to pitch in a simulated game on Saturday at the Ed Smith Stadium complex in Sarasota. Britton will start...

Wada will undergo elbow surgery

Wada will undergo elbow surgery
NEW YORK - Orioles pitcher Tsuyoshi Wada has decided to undergo ligament-reconstructive surgery on his left elbow, ending his 2012 season before it actually started. Dr. Lewis Yocum will perform the surgery on May 11 in Los Angeles. Yocum removed bone chips from Wada's elbow in 2007. An MRI and CT scan confirmed a partial tear of the ulnar collateral ligament. The Orioles let Wada decide whether to have surgery or attempt to rehab. The Orioles signed Wada to a two-year, $8.14 million...

A little more on Reimold

A little more on Reimold
NEW YORK - Before I head to Yankee Stadium for tonight's series finale, I wanted to explain more clearly what's happening with Nolan Reimold. Well, the "clearly" part might be a reach, but anyway ... Reimold's bulging disk is located in his cervical spine, and it's more neck than back. At least, that's how it's been explained to me. I'm not a doctor, so I'm depending on others to talk me through it. The timetable hasn't changed. Orioles manager Buck Showalter is still hoping that...

Rotating the starters (and Reimold note)

Rotating the starters (and Reimold note)
NEW YORK - The news came fast and furious yesterday, beginning with outfielder Nolan Reimold's tingling fingers and continuing with hitting coach Jim Presley's kidney stone. I hadn't left my hotel room in Times Square and my day already had taken a busy turn. As I walked into the press box at Yankee Stadium, still beaming at my ability to take the D train in the proper direction on this day, the Orioles issued a news release explaining that the Brooks Robinson statue unveiling had been...
