Is it Smith's turn to break out of slump?

Is it Smith's turn to break out of slump?
The presence of left-hander David Price on the mound last night for the Red Sox drove Dwight Smith Jr. to the bench. Or maybe it was a slump that's gotten control of him. More likely a combination of the two. Right-handers Rick Porcello and Andrew Cashner start the last two games of the series and Smith could get back in the lineup if manager Brandon Hyde is in platoon mode. Hyde has other options, with the roster including switch-hitters Anthony Santander and Stevie Wilkerson. Chris Davis sat...

Means rebounds and Orioles rout Red Sox 11-2 (with quotes)

Means rebounds and Orioles rout Red Sox 11-2 (with quotes)
While Andrew Cashner provided a reminder today of what the Orioles lost in their rotation as he chatted with teammates behind the batting cage, they remained confident that Dylan Bundy will rejoin it next week on the West Coast. The experimenting and auditioning will only cover two-thirds of the group, with John Means remaining in his role as unlikely ace. Means completed six innings, Anthony Santander and Keon Broxton homered, and the Orioles posted an 11-2 victory over the Red Sox before an...

Notes on Severino, Alberto, Cashner's return, more (O's up 11-2)
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said catcher Pedro Severino has been ill for the last three or four days and might not be available for tonight's series opener against the Red Sox. Catcher Austin Wynns has been recalled from Triple-A Norfolk and is on the bench tonight. Severino would have started against left-hander David Price. Left-hander Tanner Scott is on the taxi squad and likely will be recalled before Saturday night's game. Wynns could be optioned if Severino is feeling better. In the...

Orioles recall Wynns (plus lineups)

Orioles recall Wynns (plus lineups)
The Orioles have recalled catcher Austin Wynns from Triple-A Norfolk, giving them an extra position player after they optioned reliever Tayler Scott following Wednesday night's game. Catcher Pedro Severino is ill and presumably unavailable tonight. The Red Sox are starting left-hander David Price, but Chance Sisco gets the start behind the plate. The bullpen had a chance to freshen up with yesterday's off-day and left-hander John Means is starting tonight. His ability to provide some length...

This, that and the other

This, that and the other
The Orioles managed to go three days between transactions, ending their streak late Wednesday night by optioning reliever Tayler Scott to Triple-A Norfolk. Scott's disappointment at leaving the Orioles is softened by his inclusion earlier that day in the team photo. That's right. Years from now you'll scan the photo and find Tayler Scott. Alex Cobb and Nate Karns aren't in it. Andrew Cashner missed by a week. Hanser Alberto was with his wife for the birth of their second daughter. But...

Is Alberto becoming a trade chip?

Is Alberto becoming a trade chip?
The Orioles don't have an official order for trade chips. They don't put out power rankings each week. The top four won't square off to determine a winner and corporate sponsorship is nonexistent. Trey Mancini would be the undisputed No. 1 for the Orioles if they were motivated to move him. He's on a large table with everyone else - the untouchable bin is empty - but there's less motivation in the front office. Mychal Givens seems to be next in line with Andrew Cashner gone, though it...

Orioles offense perks up in 9-2 win (Scott optioned, quotes)

Orioles offense perks up in 9-2 win (Scott optioned, quotes)
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde has been waiting for his offense to ignite. Trying various combinations, sitting certain guys, seeking out favorable matchups if they exist. It takes some digging. Twelve runs were scored in the first five games following the All-Star break. Multiple players have been fighting slumps and losing the battle. The Nationals recalled two pitchers from Triple-A to start in the series and the Orioles had their hands full. Austin Voth held them to one run in six innings in...

Hyde on Alberto, Smith, Bundy, rotation and more (O's up 4-2)
The Orioles are going with a short bench tonight against the Nationals while Hanser Alberto is with his wife Olga for the birth of their daughter. Manager Brandon Hyde said he wants to give Alberto a few days, including Thursday with an open date on the schedule. Alberto is expected back Friday and the Orioles won't put him on the paternity leave list. "Big day for Hanser and his family and his wife," Hyde said. "I haven't heard the news yet, but she's expecting today and we're excited...

Orioles lineup vs. Nationals
Aaron Brooks makes his second start with the Orioles tonight as they try for a split of their two-game series with the Nationals. Brooks worked 2 2/3 scoreless and hitless innings in his debut Saturday in Game 1 of a doubleheader against the Rays. He was removed after 32 pitches. Brooks has never faced the Nationals. Adam Eaton is 2-for-4 against him and Yan Gomes is 1-for-3. Anthony Santander has moved to left field tonight with Dwight Smith Jr. on the bench and sitting on an 0-for-30...

Santander staying with Orioles

Santander staying with Orioles
Anthony Santander was the chosen one on May 1 when the Orioles needed a 26th player in Chicago, and he responded by hitting a home run. He was the chosen one again on June 7 after the Orioles placed Dwight Smith Jr. on the concussion injured list, unsure how long he'd stay but pretty confident that he'd surpass one game. It was safe to unpack, but he didn't get too comfortable. The Orioles had a decision to make Sunday night after removing DJ Stewart from his rehab assignment. Stewart was...

Nationals pull away from Orioles in 8-1 win (updated)

Nationals pull away from Orioles in 8-1 win (updated)
The Orioles missed Nationals ace and perennial Cy Young Award candidate Max Scherzer, who's on the injured list. They missed Stephen Strasburg, who's pushed back to Thursday and keeps alive his streak of never pitching in Baltimore. Tonight's matchup between right-handers Asher Wojciechowski and Austin Voth didn't necessarily send shivers up and down the spine, but the Orioles are trying to plug holes in their rotation and the Nats are doing some temporary tinkering. Wojciechowski gave the...

Notes on Bundy, Trumbo, Mancini and more (O's down 6-1)
The cortisone injection in Dylan Bundy's right knee is having the desired effect and he remains confident that he'll be ready to come off the injured list when he's eligible. Bundy played catch and ran earlier today and said he'll throw a light bullpen session on Wednesday if the knee responds favorably. "It feels as good as it's felt since spring training," he said. The Orioles can adjust their rotation again with Thursday's off-day. They start Aaron Brooks on Wednesday and could give...

Orioles trying to bust a few slumps

Orioles trying to bust a few slumps
Failing to put a runner on base through eight innings of Sunday afternoon's game against the Rays allowed fans and media to redirect their attention from a disheveled rotation. Tom Eshelman was passable. Four runs allowed in 5 2/3 innings but better than the line indicated. He struck out seven, the last five with his curveball, and retired 11 in a row before the Rays tacked on two more runs. There's no reason to push him out of the rotation with Andrew Cashner traded. Just pitching into the...

Who's the next Orioles player to be traded?

Who's the next Orioles player to be traded?
Once the Orioles completed and announced their trade with the Red Sox Saturday afternoon, swapping Andrew Cashner for Rookie-level Dominican Summer League outfielder Elio Prado and infielder Noelberth Romero, the logical question hung in the air like a mile-high pop up. Who's next? Waiting for the next shoe to drop has become its own sport. And you don't sweat as much. Executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias isn't done, at least in his attempts to move other players. It might...

Orioles wait until ninth for first baserunner in 4-1 loss (updated)
The pain that's inflicted on a rebuilding club threatened to run especially deep this afternoon at Camden Yards. The wins and losses aren't supposed to matter, but being on the wrong side of an historical moment does more than just sting. It embarrasses and again tests the resolve of players who wonder just how much worse it can get for them. The Rays retired 24 Orioles in succession, no one reaching base against them, before Hanser Alberto singled on the first pitch thrown to him in the...

More on rotation, Bundy's knee injury and Cashner trade (O's down 4-0)
The Orioles have set their rotation for the two-game series against the Nationals at Camden Yards. Asher Wojciechowski starts Tuesday night, followed by Aaron Brooks in the finale. Manager Brandon Hyde is unable to project much further down the road. Off-days on Monday and Thursday factor into his decisions, but it's mostly about finding replacements for Andrew Cashner and Dylan Bundy - one of them traded to the Red Sox, the other placed on the 10-day injured list. Bundy received a cortisone...

Dwight Smith Jr. is on the bench today as the Orioles close out their series against the Rays, with Anthony Santander getting the start in left field. Smith is hitless in his last 26 at-bats, a career-high streak and the longest in the American League. Trey Mancini sat out Game 2 last night while in an 0-for-20 slump, but he's starting in right field today. Chris Davis is playing first base and batting sixth ahead of third baseman Hanser Alberto. Alberto's home run last night in Game 2 was...

Orioles recall Eshelman and give him today's start
The Orioles have recalled right-hander Tom Eshelman from Triple-A Norfolk as the logical replacement for Andrew Cashner on the 25-man roster. Eshelman also is taking Cashner's turn in the rotation today. Someone has to start after the Orioles traded the veteran to the Red Sox yesterday afternoon. The pairing between Eshelman and the Rays is a familiar one. Eshelman made his major league debut against the Rays on July 1 at Tropicana Field and allowed two runs over five innings. The last four...

Reviewing the list of injured Orioles

Reviewing the list of injured Orioles
The Orioles must be expanding on their relaxed facial hair policy. They can't seem to shave their injured list. Reliever Josh Lucas was activated, optioned, designated for assignment and outrighted. He probably felt safer on the IL. John Means was reinstated back on June 28, the collective sigh of relief from the organization causing the flags to flutter above the bullpen area. But the rotation has lost Dylan Bundy to right knee tendinitis, forcing another roster move in a season loaded with...
