Homers by Núñez, Santander, Smith power O's to win (updated)

Homers by Núñez, Santander, Smith power O's to win (updated)
PHOENIX - Renato Núñez can belt home runs as the designated hitter, first baseman or third baseman. He can launch baseballs in his sleep, though rounding the bases is harder to do if you tuck the sheets. Manager Brandon Hyde will pick a position or a role and let Núñez feast. It's become one of his easiest decisions. Just keep the guy in the middle of the lineup. Núñez hit his team-leading 24th home run tonight in the second and Anthony Santander delivered a two-run shot...

Hyde on Bundy, Núñez, Kline and Trumbo (O's lead 7-2)

Hyde on Bundy, Núñez, Kline and Trumbo (O's lead 7-2)
PHOENIX - Orioles manager Brandon Hyde will pay close attention as usual to Dylan Bundy's work on the mound tonight. However, it's the at-bats that might draw the closest scrutiny. And bring the most anxiety. Bundy sprained his ankle last summer in Atlanta while running to third base and he's coming off a stint on the injured list with tendinitis in his knee. The risk of injury always hangs heavy in the air, even beneath a closed roof. "I don't want him to push anything," Hyde said....

Núñez on his return to third base

Núñez on his return to third base
PHOENIX - It's taken 100 games into the 2019 season for Renato Núñez to make his return to third base. Núñez started at first base last night at Chase Field and is moving across the diamond tonight. The motivation for manager Brandon Hyde likely centers on the lack of a designated hitter in a National League park and the desire to keep Núñez's power bat in the lineup. Hyde indicated prior to the road trip that Núñez would get more opportunities in the field....

Orioles and Diamondbacks lineups

Orioles and Diamondbacks lineups
PHOENIX - Renato Núñez is making his first start at third base this season as the Orioles continue their series against the Diamondbacks. Núñez has played one inning at third this year. Rio Ruiz usually gets the start versus a right-hander. The lack of a designated hitter has forced manager Brandon Hyde to find ways to get Núñez's bat in the lineup. Dwight Smith Jr. is in left field and Anthony Santander is in center. Hanser Alberto is at second base and Jonthan Villar is...

Updating Rutschman, roster move, Martin, Alberto and more

Updating Rutschman, roster move, Martin, Alberto and more
PHOENIX - The latest Adley Rutschman update finds him as the designated hitter today in his third game with the Gulf Coast League Orioles. Rutschman batted cleanup against the GCL Braves in Sarasota and went 0-for-2 with a walk. An intentional walk. Word is spreading. The teams are playing a second game later today, and Rutschman is out of the lineup. Rutschman is 2-for-10 with a home run and three runs scored since cleared to begin playing. He's been behind the plate in one game. The week...

Wondering how the Orioles intend to use Scott

Wondering how the Orioles intend to use Scott
PHOENIX - One important aspect of the job as a baseball beat writer is reading too much into everything. Ignore the warnings, lower your head and run with it. Left-hander Tanner Scott works a career-high three innings in relief Saturday night and I'm going to assume that the Orioles are stretching him out rather than viewing him as only a back-end power arm and matchup guy. That's not necessarily the case. The Orioles were battered by the Red Sox, giving up a season-high 17 runs and using a...

Jones gets three hits against former team, O's lose 6-3 (Kline optioned)

Jones gets three hits against former team, O's lose 6-3 (Kline optioned)
PHOENIX - An Orioles starter carried a no-hitter through six innings yesterday afternoon. Tonight's starter faced nine batters in the first and allowed three runs. Manager Brandon Hyde's satisfaction with the rotation tends to fluctuate. Adam Jones' ability to get the last word is consistent. Aaron Brooks had a tough act to follow in Asher Wojciechowski and the Diamondbacks made his life much harder by striking early, with Jones in the middle of it all, in a 6-3 win at Chase Field. Brooks...

Hyde on Bundy, National League play and Jones (O's down 6-3)
PHOENIX - Orioles manager Brandon Hyde can stick with his planned rotation for the next two games with Dylan Bundy's knee no longer causing discomfort. Bundy remains the scheduled starter for Tuesday night after throwing two bullpen sessions and reporting that his knee is fine. "Just talked to him," said Hyde. "Feels good and should be good to go." Hyde is back in the National League for two of the next three opponents, returning to a style of managing that's comfortable to him following...

Importance of playing Orioles is about wins for Adam Jones

Importance of playing Orioles is about wins for Adam Jones
PHOENIX - The television cameras and assorted media were stationed in front of Adam Jones' locker this afternoon in the home clubhouse at Chase Field. Barely room for the former Orioles outfielder to squeeze past and conduct his interview. "Adam, why does everyone want to talk to you today?" a teammate deadpanned. Jones pretended that he had no idea. "Some unfortunate reason, I guess," he said. Local and out-of-town reporters learned in unison that Jones isn't making a big deal out of the...

PHOENIX - Renato Núñez is playing first base tonight as the Orioles open their series against the Diamondback without the use of a designated hitter. Chris Davis sits against left-hander Robbie Ray. Anthony Santander is in left field and Stevie Wilkerson is playing center. Aaron Brooks is making his third start for the Orioles after allowing one run and two hits in 5 1/3 innings. Brooks made his only career start against the Diamondbacks on Aug. 29, 2015 and held them to two runs in six...

Rutschman makes catching debut in GCL

Rutschman makes catching debut in GCL
PHOENIX - The hype over Adley Rutschman isn't going to subside or slow as long as he continues down this path. And that's fine with the Orioles, who are enjoying every step of it. Rutschman made his catching debut today in the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League after serving as the designated hitter on Saturday in his first game. He went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored in the GCL Orioles' 9-1 victory over the GCL Braves. The Braves didn't attempt a stolen base against him. The...

What's next for center field after Broxton's removal?

What's next for center field after Broxton's removal?
PHOENIX - The Orioles have two openings on their 40-man roster after yesterday's decision to designate outfielder Keon Broxton for assignment. The decision actually came on Saturday at the latest, and it was announced yesterday. But I digress ... In past years it was an indication that they intended to fill those spots via non-waiver deadline trades. Create room and strike some deals. Former executive Dan Duquette would take someone off the 40-man and you'd wait for the corresponding...

Wojciechowski takes a no-hitter into seventh in 5-0 win (updated)

Wojciechowski takes a no-hitter into seventh in 5-0 win (updated)
The pleasantries were held during batting practice two days ago. Andrew Cashner with football in sweaty hand standing behind the cage as former Orioles teammates gathered around him. Today was about beating a friend. Not man-hugging him. Today was about Asher Wojciechowski stating his case a lot louder to stay in a rotation that Cashner has vacated. Announcing it from the top of the warehouse, the heat be damned. Trey Mancini homered twice off Cashner within the first three innings and...

Wilkerson dealing one-liners after allowing one run in relief (O's up 4-0)

Wilkerson dealing one-liners after allowing one run in relief (O's up 4-0)
As Orioles manager Brandon Hyde sifts through his bullpen options, steady roster activity changing names, he can remain confident that Stevie Wilkerson will take the ball anytime. Wilkerson doesn't need much warning. Just a teammate's glove. Wilkerson has joked that he owns 10 of them based on his super-utility status, but he's used a loaner in his two relief outings this month that represent the first of his career. Burned for a season-high 17 runs last night, the Orioles would like to keep...

Hyde on Broxton, center field, bench and more
The removal of Keon Broxton from the roster this morning has left center field available to Anthony Santander and Stevie Wilkerson. A corner outfielder and an infielder are going to share the position. Santander is making his fifth start today and Wilkerson has made 32. They're newbies learning on the fly ball. "Both guys have done a nice job out there when they've had the opportunity and continue to play out there," said manager Brandon Hyde. The Orioles cut ties with Broxton after he...

Orioles DFA Broxton and recall Kline (with lineups)

Orioles DFA Broxton and recall Kline (with lineups)
The Orioles have brought in a fresh bullpen arm today by recalling right-hander Branden Kline from Triple-A Norfolk and are going with a short bench by designating outfielder Keon Broxton for assignment. Broxton homered Friday night for the first time since June 4, but he's slashing .204/.261/.350 (21-for-103) with three doubles, four home runs, nine RBIs and 49 strikeouts in 112 plate appearances over 37 games. The Orioles acquired him from the Mets on May 22 for international signing bonus...

Scott and Yacabonis with opposite outings last night

Scott and Yacabonis with opposite outings last night
Tanner Scott stood at his locker late last night and wondered why anyone would want to talk to him before he headed home. He didn't feel like he had much impact on a game that the Orioles lost 17-6. Scott earned praise and the extra attention for stopping the bleeding with his three scoreless innings - a career high - and only one hit allowed after the Orioles recalled him from Triple-A Norfolk earlier in the day. "Just taking it one pitch at a time, just trying to do what we needed to do and...

Orioles can't live up to last night's standard in 17-6 loss (updated)

Orioles can't live up to last night's standard in 17-6 loss (updated)
The Orioles played one of their most complete games of the season last night, much to the delight of manager Brandon Hyde. A quality start, scoreless relief, hits from everyone in the lineup, smart baserunning and tight defense. The hard part is duplicating it. The pitching component was lacking in a big way, with Tom Eshelman surrendering three home runs in four innings and Jimmy Yacabonis retiring only one of the 10 batters he faced. A five-run third inning enabled the Orioles to tie the...

Updating Karns, Scott's return, catching and more (O's down 16-6)
Reliever Nate Karns threw a 20-pitch simulated game this afternoon in the intense heat at Camden Yards, sweat pouring off his face later as he sat at his locker and tried to recover in the air conditioning. He mimicked one inning and headed indoors. Karns hasn't pitched for the Orioles since April 8 due to stiffness in his right forearm and multiple rehab assignments have been interrupted. He's set a goal for his return as the Orioles prepare for a three-city West Coast trip that begins...

Rutschman homers in pro debut (Scott recalled and lineup)

Rutschman homers in pro debut (Scott recalled and lineup)
The long-awaited debut of catcher Adley Rutschman unfolded today in the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League and he again lived up to the hype. Chosen first overall by the Orioles in last month's First-Year Player Draft, Rutschman served as the designated hitter against the GCL Pirates in Bradenton and homered to right field in his third professional at-bat. Rutschman lined to shortstop and flied to deep right in his previous plate appearances before leading off the sixth inning with a home run from...
