Bullpen bringing relief to Hyde despite yesterday's issues

Bullpen bringing relief to Hyde despite yesterday's issues
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles are going to be making some tough roster cuts relating to their bullpen. They didn't get any easier yesterday despite the runs allowed in Dunedin. Mychal Givens tried to work through a second inning against the Blue Jays and surrendered a two-run homer to Randal Grichuk after hitting a batter and throwing a wild pitch. He's on the team. Hunter Harvey was scored upon for the first time when he hit a batter and Santiago Espina launched a 96 mph fastball onto the new...

Eshelman picks bad time for poor start (O's lose 14-2)

Eshelman picks bad time for poor start (O's lose 14-2)
DUNEDIN, Fla. - The auditions for jobs in Orioles camp moved this afternoon to the Blue Jays' newly renovated spring training complex. Thomas Eshelman made another start while trying to convince the Orioles to keep him as a fifth starter or long reliever. Mason Williams led off and played center field, hopeful that he'll head north in a bench role or perhaps as Trey Mancini's replacement in right if needed. Utility candidates Pat Valaika, Stevie Wilkerson and Dilson Herrera landed in the...

Cobb scratched due to blister on pitching hand

Cobb scratched due to blister on pitching hand
DUNEDIN, Fla. - Alex Cobb hasn't been slowed in camp by the hip and knee surgeries he underwent in June, but a blister on his pitching hand caused manager Brandon Hyde to remove him from Thursday's starting assignment against the Twins in Fort Myers. Hyde said it's a "small, little" blister and Cobb would pitch with it in the regular season. Cobb will be used in a simulated game on the back fields in Sarasota, under a controlled environment, while Bruce Zimmermann makes the start against...

Hector Velázquez prepping for Orioles debut

Hector Velázquez prepping for Orioles debut
DUNEDIN, Fla. - Hector Velázquez isn't quite set to make his Orioles debut. Maybe it comes over the weekend. The reliever anticipates a second bullpen session before he's cleared to pitch in a game for the Orioles, who claimed him off waivers from the Red Sox earlier this week. He's waiting for manager Brandon Hyde to give him more information. "I think that I'm going to need to throw one more bullpen," he said through interpreter Ramón Alarcón. "After that, the manager is going...

Scott still sending strikeouts with sizzle

Scott still sending strikeouts with sizzle
SARASOTA, Fla. - Tanner Scott will take the one-pitch outs. Ground ball, fly ball, however they come. He isn't averse to them. There are those occasions, however, when he can't stop the strikeouts. It happened again Sunday afternoon against the Yankees. Scott was assigned the ninth inning and fanned the side. Armando Alvarez, Brandon Lockridge and Trey Amburgey took turns flailing at fastballs clocked at 100-101 mph and the crowd at Ed Smith Stadium reacted to each radar reading on the...

Carroll trying to convince Orioles to keep him (Akin optioned)

Carroll trying to convince Orioles to keep him (Akin optioned)
SARASOTA, Fla. - Cody Carroll knows the feeling of impressing the Orioles in spring training and failing to make the club. He might be too good to pass up in 2020. Carroll registered another scoreless inning tonight, stranding the Braves' Yangervis Solarte after a two-out double in the fourth by striking out Alex Jackson with a 96 mph fastball. Drawing praise from manager Brandon Hyde before the game, Carroll has allowed only one run with one walk and seven strikeouts in six innings. He's...

Notes on rotation, Velázquez, Santander, Holaday and more
SARASOTA, Fla. - Orioles manager Brandon Hyde held his daily pregame scrum this afternoon outside the dugout and at arm's length from the media. Not the way he wanted it to happen, but he was going along with the increased safety measures around the ballpark that also eliminate autographs and handshakes for fans. "People know a lot more than I do that are higher up," he said. "I'm going to follow the regulations that MLB put out for us and just hoping for the best going forward. But it's...

Orioles increasing safety measures in spring training
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles' media crew returned from the off-day and walked into a whole new world, with the increase in coronavirus cases around the world leading to closed clubhouses in baseball. Players at the Ed Smith Stadium complex were made available upon request and seated at tables on the patio outside the workroom. Reporters asked their questions from a "safe" distance. Six feet is the recommended perimeter. Chris Davis, the Orioles' player representative, anticipated that...

Checking the catching competition in Orioles camp

Checking the catching competition in Orioles camp
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles are down to five catchers in spring training after the latest round of cuts. The group that held a realistic chance of making the team. None who have been waiting for the inevitable reassignment to minor league camp. Adley Rutschman and Martin Cervenka weren't jogging down the orange carpet on opening day and they knew it. Pedro Severino still appears to be a lock, but the backup job is up for grabs, with Chance Sisco holding favorite status upon reporting to the...

Orioles' opening day roster remains unsettled as they reach an off-day
SARASOTA, Fla. - Today's much-needed and celebrated break in the exhibition schedule should have provided a little more clarity to the 26-man roster for opening day. It doesn't always work out that way. Trey Mancini could begin the season on the injured list, which creates an unexpected vacancy in right field. Manager Brandon Hyde didn't want to talk about possible alternatives yesterday while meeting with the media. He doesn't know and he doesn't want to be disrespectful to Mancini,...

Orioles claim pitcher Hector Velázquez off waivers (5-5 tie)
SARASOTA, Fla - The Orioles are bringing a relief candidate into camp and filling a vacancy on their 40-man roster. Right-hander Hector Velázquez was claimed off waivers today from the Red Sox to increase the camp roster to 55 players and the 40-man to 39. Velázquez, 31, was designated for assignment on Thursday. He's gone 11-7 with a 3.90 ERA and a 1.428 WHIP in 89 games (19 starts) over the past three seasons. The Orioles like the length that Velázquez can provide and view him more...

SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles are playing their 17th exhibition game later this afternoon, forced to remain focused on preparing for the 2020 season and the various competitions that will determine how the 26-man roster is constructed. They understand the business side of baseball, but their concerns for a teammate and friend keep tugging hard at their emotions. Trey Mancini isn't in the lineup again today and no longer is at the facility. He's left the team to undergo a non-baseball medical...

Brandon Bailey: "I believe I'm a big leaguer"
SARASOTA, Fla. - Brandon Bailey didn't see it coming. In Orioles camp as a Rule 5 selection, Bailey thought he might be heading north with the club instead of making the drive to West Palm Beach. That he'd be on a major league team's opening day roster instead of returning to the Astros complex and awaiting his minor league assignment. The Orioles included Bailey and Rule 5 reliever Michael Rucker in Friday afternoon's camp cuts. Bailey goes back to the Astros after allowing one run in four...

PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. - Orioles outfielder Trey Mancini has left the club to undergo a non-baseball medical procedure, raising the concerns of his teammates and staff and increasing the possibility that he won't be on the opening day roster. Manager Brandon Hyde shared the news with the media this afternoon. Details are scarce because the Orioles want to respect his privacy. The procedure isn't imminent and might not happen until next week. However, the Orioles break camp on March 23 and begin...

Zimmermann impresses on road after escaping it
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. - Bruce Zimmermann bolted out of the visiting dugout today at Charlotte Sports Park and jogged to the mound, eager to begin warming up for his first spring start and third appearance. Zimmermann looked forward to the opportunity but mostly was glad to be off the team bus. He could have gotten here faster from Sarasota if he walked. The Orioles arrived at the ballpark about 45 minutes prior to first pitch, their driver taking them to a closed section of I-75. Traffic was...

Santander ready to make his move into the outfield
SARASOTA, Fla. - Anthony Santander is expecting to make his spring outfield debut on Tuesday after serving only as the designated hitter in eight games. Orioles manager Brandon Hyde has been careful with Santander, who didn't play after Sept. 23 last season due to soreness in his right shoulder. The former Rule 5 pick finally gets to wear a glove for the 6:05 p.m. game against the Braves in Sarasota. "I've been working on my strength so when the day comes, I'll be ready and 100 percent,"...
