Orioles and Astros lineups

Orioles and Astros lineups
Anthony Santander is out of the lineup tonight to ease the strain on his sore left ankle, though he's available to come off the bench for the series opener against the Astros at Camden Yards. DJ Stewart is in right field and Austin Hays is in left. Trey Mancini is playing first base and Ryan Mountcastle is the designated hitter. Pedro Severino is behind the plate. Shortstop Freddy Galvis is batting second. Rookie Keegan Akin went a career-high 5 2/3 innings in his last start in Cleveland, but...

Mullins moves to ninth in All-Star voting

Mullins moves to ninth in All-Star voting
As Cedric Mullins climbs up the hits chart in the majors, he also has risen to ninth among American League outfielders in the latest All-Star voting. This is a significant bump from 10th because the top nine outfielders advance to Phase 2. Mullins has collected 86 hits to lead the league, one ahead of Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. He's received 366,555 votes to move past Tampa Bay's Randy Arozarena, who trails with 358,742. The Phase 1 voting period ends Thursday at 4 p.m. The...

More from minors, Santander and Hays ailments, and Mancini

More from minors, Santander and Hays ailments, and Mancini
The Orioles are perfecting the technique of announcing their latest minor league promotions in huge waves. Not a splash or two. Shortstop Gunnar Henderson was included yesterday afternoon in a 10-player news drop following the Orioles' 7-4 loss to the Blue Jays. The biggest name of the batch. Henderson, a second-round pick in the 2019 draft, is making the jump from low Single-A Delmarva to high Single-A Aberdeen. In case you missed it, the rest reads as follows: * Outfielder Yusniel Diaz and...

Mancini homers twice, but Harvey can't finish fifth in 7-4 loss

Mancini homers twice, but Harvey can't finish fifth in 7-4 loss
Matt Harvey stood on the mound after the final out was recorded in the third inning, a frozen posture he's struck in previous starts while watching a fly ball land in the seats. Except this time he was pausing to congratulate Pat Valaika on a nice defensive play, with the infielder ranging beyond second base to make the backhand stop and long throw. The day was progressing more favorably for Harvey, but the wall that keeps leaving marks appeared in the fifth. He'd be stopped again. He'd make...

Franco on getting hit: "It shouldn't be like that"

Franco on getting hit: "It shouldn't be like that"
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said today that he hasn't spoken or reached out to Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo since yesterday's heated exchange on the field after Alek Manoah appeared to be aiming at third baseman Maikel Franco in the fourth inning and benches and bullpens emptied. Manoah nailed Franco on the shoulder with a 93.8 mph sinker after surrendering back-to-back home runs to Ryan Mountcastle and DJ Stewart in the fourth inning. The Orioles hit six home runs on the day. Franco...

Matt Harvey gets another chance this afternoon to reverse an extended skid while closing out the series against the Blue Jays at Camden Yards. Harvey is 3-8 with a 7.76 ERA and 1.724 WHIP in 14 starts over 58 innings. He's failed to complete the fourth inning in four consecutive outings. Since the four unearned runs on May 7, Harvey has been charged with 36 earned on 45 hits in 23 innings. None of his last eight starts have gone past 4 2/3 innings. In his only career start against the Blue...

Proud father Steenstra has two games to follow today

Proud father Steenstra has two games to follow today
As Triple-A Norfolk's pitching coach, Kennie Steenstra won't divide his attention this afternoon. His focus will stay on the field. He'll be locked into Tides starter Alexander Wells and anyone else who comes into the game. But the final out will send him scurrying for updates on the College World Series in Omaha, where son Logan's University of Tennessee Volunteers are playing the University of Virginia at 2 p.m. A coach can turn back into a nervous father real fast. Also a proud...

Orioles and Blue Jays lineups
The Orioles ended their losing streak last night at eight games and Cedric Mullins took over the American League lead in hits with 84. They'll try to keep the momentum going this afternoon against the Blue Jays at Camden Yards. Mullins has five career home runs against the Blue Jays, the most versus any opponent. Last night's four RBIs set a new career high. Mullins tied the club record of being hit in three consecutive games. It's happened seven times, most recently with Jonathan Schoop in...

How could Orioles' catching changes impact 2022?

How could Orioles' catching changes impact 2022?
Yesterday's news that Chance Sisco had been designated for assignment provided the latest jolt to the catching position at Triple-A Norfolk and naturally led to questions regarding Adley Rutschman. They moves aren't related. But isn't it fun to wonder? Rutschman has played 38 games beyond the low Single-A level and figures to stick around Double-A Bowie for at least a little while longer, no matter how good he looks and how excited fans are to watch him progress through the system. The...

Mullins masterful again as Orioles end losing streak (updated)

Mullins masterful again as Orioles end losing streak (updated)
The questions aimed at Orioles manager Brandon Hyde earlier this season sought an explanation for his team's inability to play as well at home as on the road, where the majority of wins were achieved. After the Orioles dropped their 19th road game in a row yesterday, Hyde was asked before boarding a flight out of Cleveland how much he looked forward to getting back to Baltimore. The venues must not be the issue. And a neutral site isn't an option. There's no real science to it. The Orioles...

Hyde on Zimmermann: "He is progressing and he should be fine"
The Orioles can't get their rotation settled, losing another left-hander this afternoon to an injury. Rookie Bruce Zimmermann is on the 10-day injured list with left biceps tendinitis, but manager Brandon Hyde indicated this afternoon that the move is precautionary. Zimmermann worked 5 2/3 innings Sunday afternoon against the Rays at Tropicana Field, allowing three runs to keep his ERA at 4.83. "He was just a little sore after his last start, which was kind of normal soreness," Hyde said...

Orioles and Blue Jays lineups
The Orioles are back home tonight and trying to end an eight-game losing streak with Thomas Eshelman making his 2021 debut against the Blue Jays. Eshelman had his contract selected today from Triple-A Norfolk, with Bruce Zimmermann placed on the 10-day injured list with left biceps tendinitis. Eshelman was 0-3 with a 6.41 ERA and 1.424 WHIP in six games (three starts) with the Tides. With his last outing on June 10, Eshelman provides a fresh arm and also prevents the Orioles from shuttling...

Orioles DFA Chance Sisco (updated)

Orioles DFA Chance Sisco (updated)
The Orioles have designated catcher Chance Sisco for assignment today, according to an industry source, and appear ready to add a pitcher to the 40-man roster prior to tonight's game against the Blue Jays at Camden Yards. Sisco's removal from the 40-man opens a spot. Sisco broke camp with the team again and was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on May 31 while the Orioles selected catcher Austin Wynn's contract from the Tides. Sisco, a second-round pick in the 2013 draft, was batting...

Coby Mayo: "I'm going to have a lot of fun"
The Orioles are performing an exhausting juggling act with their prospects. The kind that doesn't bring joy, like when another player moves up the affiliate chain. They arrange an injury rehab assignment. They reinstate someone else from the injured list. They are forced to shut down someone else. Talk about having a lot of balls in the air. The club passed along good news this week regarding outfielder Yusniel Diaz, who joined Double-A Bowie on his rehab assignment. But wait, there's...

Trying to put a glove on defensive letdowns

Trying to put a glove on defensive letdowns
The recent box scores tally the seven errors committed by the Orioles in the first three games of their series against the Indians. Ample reason for a manager to grow concerned, and worse. What's missing, however, are the other breakdowns in fundamentals and execution, such as the rundown last night with no one covering second base and a trapped runner dashing to third. Players standing around, as Brandon Hyde noted after the 8-7 loss. There are missed cutoffs or poor decisions to let the ball...

Jorge López faced the Indians on June 6 in Baltimore and allowed three runs and four hits in five innings. He walked three...

Orioles can't overcome more breakdowns in 8-7 loss (updated)
On the same day that Mike Elias and Brandon Hyde again spoke about the need to stay patient and focus on the big picture, no matter how much the losing hurts and frustrates in the moment, the Orioles collected two runs and four hits within the first 10 pitches of their game in Cleveland. A brief reprieve and then a jarring return to their reality. The present can be painful. No one disagrees. The Indians scored five runs off Keegan Akin in the third inning before he recorded an out, the Orioles...

Elias updates medical statuses of Kjerstad, Hall and Davis
The deliberate process of getting outfielder Heston Kjerstad built up physically and able to begin playing in games has been shelved again due to a medical issue. The same condition that kept him inactive following the 2020 draft. Kjerstad, the second-overall pick out of the University of Arkansas, was diagnosed with myocarditis last summer and couldn't participate in spring training earlier this year. He reported to the alternate camp site in Bowie and moved his baseball activities and...

Left to wonder about Orioles' rotation possibilities

Left to wonder about Orioles' rotation possibilities
There are reasons to keep deflecting attention from the 2021 season and imagining how the Orioles could look further down the road. Because of the struggles that are surfacing again this summer and the promise of better times ahead with the farm system in much better shape. Perhaps at a level that hasn't been achieved since players with no reason to stay in the minors returned in bunches to Triple-A Rochester and waited their turns, forcing the front office into making trades in order to...
