Orioles claim López while going for sweep (game suspended)

Orioles claim López while going for sweep (game suspended)
The search for pitching that can provide length and serve in swingman and long relief roles has brought the Orioles to right-hander Jorge López. A team that's trying to get back above .500 fiddling with its roster. The Orioles claimed López off waivers from the Royals earlier today, filling their 40-man roster and 60-man player pool with one transaction. They made the move while also busy building a lead against the Nationals that's been put on hold in the top of the sixth inning due to...

Hyde sits Severino with sore wrist and hand

Hyde sits Severino with sore wrist and hand
Pedro Severino is on the bench this afternoon after being hit last night on the left wrist by a pitch from Nationals reliever Ryne Harper. Manager Brandon Hyde intended to start Severino until checking on him this morning. "Sevie's wrist is sore, his hand, from being hit last night, so he was going to play today, but I talked to him this morning and he's pretty sore from getting hit last night," Hyde said today in his Zoom conference call with the media. Bryan Holaday gets his first start...

Orioles and Nationals lineups

Orioles and Nationals lineups
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde is providing rest for a few of his veterans this afternoon as the team attempts to complete a three-game sweep over the Nationals in D.C. Pat Valaika is the shortstop, with José Iglesias on the bench. Renato Núñez is the first baseman, with Chris Davis on the bench. Bryan Holaday gets his first start behind the plate. Chance Sisco is the designated hitter and Pedro Severino is out of the lineup again after his pinch-hit home run last night. Austin Hays...

Wojciechowski the starter choice over Akin

Wojciechowski the starter choice over Akin
Nothing against Asher Wojciechowski, who's been chosen to make today's start for the Orioles to close out the series in D.C., but confirmation that he'd get the assignment stung a fan base that's itching to watch Keegan Akin's major league debut. The Orioles recalled Akin from the alternate camp site in Bowie and the jumping to conclusions looked like an Olympic event. They needed a starter with John Means away from the team. A bullpen game was an undesirable option. Akin was summoned to...

Orioles hit three homers in eighth and rally for 5-3 win (updated)

Orioles hit three homers in eighth and rally for 5-3 win (updated)
The Orioles destroyed baseballs and an old adage tonight in the top of the eighth inning. A team that enjoys a massive offensive explosion always seems to go into a shell the following night. Death, taxes and bats disappearing. Can always count on them. Shut out on two hits over the first seven innings, the Orioles had fallen into that same inexplicable trap. But they rose up with three home runs, the last a three-run shot by Anthony Santander off Daniel Hudson, and reveled in the...

Wojciechowski starting Sunday in D.C. (and other notes)

Wojciechowski starting Sunday in D.C. (and other notes)
The major league debut of Orioles left-hander Keegan Akin won't necessarily come in a starting role. Not on Sunday, for sure. Manager Brandon Hyde said today on his Zoom conference call that Asher Wojciechowski will work on short rest to close out the series in D.C. Akin is available in long relief this weekend. Left-hander John Means will miss his turn while on the bereavement list. Wojciechowski started the nightcap of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Marlins and threw 67 pitches, which...

Orioles and Nationals lineups
Chance Sisco is going to catch Thomas Eshelman tonight as the Orioles continue their series against the Nationals in D.C. Sisco came off the bench last night in an 11-0 win, but he's behind the plate tonight and Pedro Severino is among the reserves. Hanser Alberto stays in the leadoff spot and Austin Hays remains at the bottom of the lineup. Dwight Smith Jr. is the left fielder again and Chris Davis continues to bat eighth. A lineup very similar to last night. Because it ain't broke. With...

Orioles promote Keegan Akin to majors (updated)

Orioles promote Keegan Akin to majors (updated)
The first prospect from the Orioles' alternate camp site has found his way to the majors. The club announced today that it has recalled left-hander Keegan Akin from the Bowie complex and optioned outfielder Cedric Mullins as the corresponding roster move. A starter is needed Sunday in D.C. if left-hander John Means stays on the bereavement list. Manager Brandon Hyde indicated yesterday that he could resort to a bullpen game, but Akin is in position to make his debut. Akin, 25, threw four...

Milone coasts and offense crushes in 11-0 win (updated)

Milone coasts and offense crushes in 11-0 win (updated)
WASHINGTON - On a night that their offense stayed in high gear, the Orioles made certain that their pitching and defense didn't shut down the operation. Keeping everyone on the same page brought a much different result. Nine of the first 15 Orioles batters reached against Aníbal Sánchez, three runs scored and a team still bruised from a four-game sweep in its home ballpark hit the road and kept hitting in an 11-0 win over the Nationals in D.C. José Iglesias had a run-scoring double,...

Alternate camp allowing developmental process to proceed

Alternate camp allowing developmental process to proceed
The gradual dissolving of the 2020 minor league baseball season, a painfully slow execution akin to sporadic drops of water splashed onto a pile of sugar, had the Orioles scrambling to come up with ideas to prevent it from impeding the development of their prospects. Teams set up alternate training camp sites near their home ballparks. Plans were devised to incorporate workouts and games while abiding by rules that prohibited competition with outside clubs. The Orioles had to construct a staff...

Rio Ruiz is back in the Orioles lineup tonight as they open a three-game series against the Nationals in D.C. Ruiz has been on the bench with inflammation in his right shoulder. Austin Hays drops to ninth in the order while Hanser Alberto continues to lead off. José Iglesias is batting third as the shortstop. Pedro Severino is catching tonight and Chris Davis is batting eighth again. Chance Sisco, who isn't in the lineup, has gone 5-for-11 with two doubles, a home run and five walks. He's...

Henderson and Gonzalez added to alternate camp site

Henderson and Gonzalez added to alternate camp site
The 60-man player pool is down to one open spot. The Orioles announced today that they added infielder Gunnar Henderson and left-hander Brian Gonzalez to the group that's working out and playing intrasquad games at the alternate camp site in Bowie. Henderson, 19, was an anticipated arrival based on his prospect status. The Orioles selected him in the second round of the 2019 First-Year Player Draft out of John T. Morgan Academy in Alabama and assigned him to the Gulf Coast League, where he...

Thoughts on Stewart's demotion, Mountcastle's inevitable arrival

Thoughts on Stewart's demotion, Mountcastle's inevitable arrival
Is the path clearer for Ryan Mountcastle to make his major league debut? Can an hour pass without someone asking why he's still at the Bowie camp site? There's absolutely no doubt that Mountcastle is going to play for the Orioles this summer, and it could happen at any minute with his service time unaffected by a promotion. There are no excuses beyond the organization's mandate that he must be able to handle left field rather than serve exclusively as the designated hitter and must exhibit...

Defensive shortcomings for O's contribute to series sweep (updated)

Defensive shortcomings for O's contribute to series sweep (updated)
The bats came out of the rack. They made some loud noises. The threat of another shutout was obliterated like the pitch Renato Núñez launched into the left field seats to open the top of the second inning. If the Orioles were going to lose again tonight, at least they'd go down swinging. A problem is fixed and the ship springs two other leaks. And the solution wasn't to keep plugging away. Wade LeBlanc lasted only 3 1/3 innings, the defense collapsed behind him and an offensive rush...

Hyde on Stewart, opportunties and improved bullpen

Hyde on Stewart, opportunties and improved bullpen
The roster is set at 28 players after the Orioles optioned DJ Stewart to the alternate camp site at Bowie following last night's doubleheader. No moves have been made this afternoon, and the team is doing stretching exercises and taking batting practice after an earlier gathering on the field with manager Brandon Hyde that included a round of applause but no explanation. Stewart missed it. He left the club last night after going 0-for-14 with six walks and eight strikeouts this season. "Like...

Orioles and Marlins lineups

Orioles and Marlins lineups
José Iglesias is getting the start at shortstop tonight rather than kept as the designated hitter or a pinch-hitter. Rio Ruiz, however, isn't ready to return to third base while dealing with a sore right shoulder. Ruiz is 7-for-22 (.318) with three home runs and a 1.112 OPS. Iglesias is 11-for-24 (.458) with six doubles and a 1.188 OPS. The Orioles need both of them with their offense in a major funk. An offense that's totaled one run and 10 hits in three losses in the series. Ruiz could...

Lumber slumber has led Orioles to brink of series sweep

Lumber slumber has led Orioles to brink of series sweep
More changes came to the Orioles last night beyond their status as the road team inside their own ballpark. Can't wipe the weirdness slate clean. Rather than wait until later today, the Orioles further reduced their roster to 28 players by optioning outfielder DJ Stewart to the alternate camp site in Bowie. Coupled with pitcher John Means going on the bereavement list, the Orioles can stop tweaking the roster unless they want to swap out personnel before playing tonight's series finale...

Orioles avoid shutout but drop doubleheader (Stewart optioned)

Orioles avoid shutout but drop doubleheader (Stewart optioned)
The Orioles waited to bat in the top of the first inning in the second game of today's doubleheader while wearing their white jerseys and treated as outsiders. Walk-up music was played for the Marlins. Introductions were accompanied by images of the Miami players on the video board. If meals weren't prepackaged in the clubhouses, the spread surely would have included Joe's stone crabs. The crab shuffle should have been replaced by Don Johnson hiding a baseball in his white suit. The 2020...

Bats stay quiet in 1-0 loss in first game of doubleheader (updated)

Bats stay quiet in 1-0 loss in first game of doubleheader (updated)
Alex Cobb was first out of the home dugout today, which later became the visiting dugout. Baseball in 2020 is funny that way. Cobb did a small hop before finding his stride, as every pitcher attempts to do during the game. There were a few stumbles in the early innings, which soon became middle innings due to the shortening under minor league rules. The four-pitch walk to Miami's Corey Dickerson in the first, his throwing error in the second after fielding Matt Joyce's roller near the first...

Hyde on Means, Eshelman and today's doubleheader
The Orioles won't make a roster move today as they prepare to play the Marlins twice beginning at 5:05 p.m. Teams don't get an extra player for the doubleheader. The expanded rosters make it unnecessary, per Major League Baseball's 2020 rules. Who knew? John Means has been placed on the bereavement list. The club is saying only that he's "dealing with a family matter" and that it is respecting his privacy. The Orioles are allowed to replace Means on the roster, but they must reduce from...
