Orioles and Rockies lineups

Orioles and Rockies lineups
DENVER - Keon Broxton moves down to seventh in the order today as the Orioles close out their series against the Rockies and return home. Austin Wynns is catching. Renato Núñez remains at first base with Chris Davis on the bench. David Hess comes into Coors Field today leading the majors in home runs allowed with 17. Daniel Murphy and Mark Reynolds are 0-for-2 against them. They're the only Colorado batters to face him. The Orioles matched last year's season high with 17 hits last...

Evan Phillips joins Orioles

Evan Phillips joins Orioles
DENVER - The Orioles have brought reliever Evan Phillips to Coors Field this morning, setting up a bullpen move that manager Brandon Hyde hinted at yesterday. The club stuck with its current group in last night's 9-6 win over the Rockies, but Hyde said earlier that a change could come in the next day or two. Hyde used only two relievers last night, covering the last four innings with Miguel Castro and Josh Lucas. Lucas tossed three scoreless innings for his first major league save. Phillips...

Hyde making adjustments to bullpen approach

Hyde making adjustments to bullpen approach
DENVER - The excessive bullpen usage by the Orioles in two months can be blamed on starters who don't get through the middle innings. On relievers who run up pitch counts and need to be bailed out. On game situations that prompt manager Brandon Hyde to pick up the phone. Hyde has indicated that he's going to be more inclined to lay off certain guys and not allow the score to dictate his moves. It's a long season. He's slipping into more of a protective mode, though he's always preached the...

Orioles bullpen covers last four innings in 9-6 win (with quotes)

Orioles bullpen covers last four innings in 9-6 win (with quotes)
DENVER - As the Orioles made the final out tonight in the top of the first inning and players jogged onto the field, the eight relievers vacated the dugout and began the long walk to the bullpen in center field. Outfielder Keon Broxton fist-bumped each one, a friendly gesture rather than the taking of relief inventory. A casual observer could be forgiven for thinking that players are checking on who's available to pitch. Who's running on fumes. Who could use an Uber. Pity the rookie toting...

Notes on Ynoa, bullpen, Armstrong and Davis (O's lead 9-6)

Notes on Ynoa, bullpen, Armstrong and Davis (O's lead 9-6)
DENVER - Gabriel Ynoa is getting another opportunity to start for the Orioles. Manager Brandon Hyde has chosen Ynoa to pitch Monday afternoon against the Tigers at Camden Yards, the spot that opened with Dan Straily's move to the bullpen. Ynoa hasn't started in the majors since Sept. 27, 2017 in Pittsburgh. He missed the 2018 season due to shin and shoulder injuries and has made nine relief appearances this year. Hyde isn't going with the hot hand. He just needs someone who's stretched out...

Straily on his bullpen assignment

Straily on his bullpen assignment
DENVER - While disappointed that he didn't produce as a starter, Orioles right-hander Dan Straily understands and approves of his move to the bullpen. However long it lasts. Manager Brandon Hyde announced yesterday that Straily would pitch in a relief, his availability beginning tonight, rather than make Monday afternoon's start against the Tigers at Camden Yards. Straily has posted a 9.09 ERA and 1.990 WHIP in nine games (eight starts) over 34 2/3 innings. He surrendered four home runs in...

Orioles and Rockies lineups

Orioles and Rockies lineups
DENVER - Renato Núñez is carrying a hot bat into the cleanup spot for tonight's game against the Rockies at Coors Field. Núñez has homered in three consecutive games and four of the last five. He's collected six hits in 15 at-bats since May 19 and he's starting at first base tonight. Keon Broxton stays in center field after homering last night on the first pitch thrown to him and later reaching on an infield hit. Hanser Alberto is leading off. Stevie Wilkerson is in left field...

Davis back on bench for latest reset

Davis back on bench for latest reset
DENVER - Chris Davis' name was missing from the Orioles lineup in last night's series opener against the Rockies and his removal versus a right-handed starter, in this case Jeff Hoffman, serves as a sharp indicator that another reset is underway. Davis also expects to sit tonight with the Rockies sending left-hander Kyle Freeland to the mound. But he won't be idle, his work continuing with hitting coach Don Long as they try to find a solution. Manager Brandon Hyde put Trey Mancini at first...

Orioles lose late lead and seventh game in a row (updated)

Orioles lose late lead and seventh game in a row (updated)
DENVER - Keon Broxton just wants to have fun. And if a man can't enjoy a 474-foot home run on the first pitch thrown to him on his new team, well, there's something truly wrong in the baseball world. Broxton was all smiles as he crossed home plate tonight and turned toward the Orioles dugout, knowing the enthusiastic reception that waited for him. Rio Ruiz got to him first behind home plate, scoring after drawing a leadoff walk and giving Broxton an affectionate slap on the helmet. The high...

Straily coming out of Orioles rotation (tied 6-6)

Straily coming out of Orioles rotation (tied 6-6)
DENVER - The Orioles are moving Dan Straily to the bullpen. Straily would have started Monday afternoon against the Tigers at Camden Yards, but the spot is listed as TBD. Manager Brandon Hyde said the replacement will be announced prior to Saturday's game. This is the latest reset employed by the Orioles, who are hoping that Straily can work out his issues away from the rotation and narrow his focus and workload. Straily needs to thin out an ERA that's grown to 9.09 and a 1.990 WHIP built...

Broxton excited for chance to play

Broxton excited for chance to play
DENVER - Keon Broxton already looks comfortable with the Orioles, smiling freely and spending part of today's pregame clubhouse time chatting with former high school teammate Josh Lucas at his locker. The new guy described his reaction to Wednesday's trade as "pure joy." He doesn't care about the standings. He just wants a chance to play and have fun. "I was excited just getting an opportunity to come out here and do what I love to do," he said. "I'm just ready to go. I can't wait for...

Broxton making Orioles debut tonight
DENVER - Keon Broxton has joined the Orioles and is starting in center field tonight for the series opening game against the Rockies. Broxton is batting sixth between Rio Ruiz and Hanser Alberto. Chris Davis is on the bench against Rockies right-hander Jeff Hoffman and Trey Mancini is handling first base. Stevie Wilkerson stays in the lineup as the right fielder and is batting second. Another game brings another new lineup, with Broxton added and no designated hitter for the series. Since going...

Means looking forward to batting in Colorado

Means looking forward to batting in Colorado
While I'm not aware of any scientific studies on the topic, I'm certain that most pitchers love to hit. Or think that they can. You'll stumble across a few exceptions, much like the haters trying to get out of the batter's box. Former Orioles left-hander Wei-Yin Chen is 7-for-98 with 42 strikeouts and he comes by it honestly. He'd rather step on broken glass in his bare feet than step to the plate. John Means would walk on broken glass to get to it. OK, that might be an exaggeration, but...

Givens walks in go-ahead run in 6-5 loss (Rickard optioned)

Givens walks in go-ahead run in 6-5 loss (Rickard optioned)
The Orioles had to believe that today would be different. They rallied for four runs in the eighth inning to tie the game, the last three coming on Renato Núñez's homer, the ball jumping off a resuscitated bat. Gleyber Torres and Gary Sánchez came off the bench in the ninth and settled for a walk and single, respectively. That's tame stuff. But that's how the Orioles began to drift toward another loss and a four-game sweep. Mychal Givens also walked DJ LeMahieu and Aaron Hicks to...

Hyde on pitching: "As of right now, this is what we have" (O's lose 6-5)
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said he expects outfielder Keon Broxton to join the club Friday in Colorado, which will require a corresponding roster move. A position player is more likely to be removed with the Orioles trying to compensate for a lack of pitching depth. Hyde repeated that Stevie Wilkerson will stay busy. Broxton's arrival won't impact his roster spot or bury him on the bench. "They're all going to play," Hyde said. "Stevie's going to play. I think Trey (Mancini) has had...

Orioles starter Dylan Bundy won't have to face Gleyber Torres and Gary Sánchez today in the series finale against the Yankees. They aren't in the lineup. Bundy already gets a win before stepping on the mound. Keon Broxton isn't expected to join the team today. In the meantime, Stevie Wilkerson is batting second today and staying in center field. Dwight Smith Jr. is batting cleanup, as manager Brandon Hyde keeps switching lineups. Richie Martin gets back-to-back starts after hitting his...

Lucas on Broxton: "That dude's a freak athlete"
When outfielder Keon Broxton arrives in the Orioles clubhouse, whether today or perhaps Friday in Colorado, he's going to seek out former Brewers teammate Jonathan Villar. They spent parts of three seasons together. He already reached out to Villar after yesterday's trade. But Broxton also will recognize reliever Josh Lucas, a small baseball world reuniting them as well. Lucas and Broxton played together at Lakeland Senior High School in Florida. They chose college after being drafted the...

Straily still slumping in Orioles' 7-5 loss (with quotes)

Straily still slumping in Orioles' 7-5 loss (with quotes)
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde described pitcher Dan Straily this afternoon as someone on a mission. A veteran determined to reverse a string of short outings and limited production from the mound. "I know that he wants to prove that he's the guy we signed, where he was going to give us some innings and give us some major league starts," Hyde said. "Hoping it starts tonight." It did not. Straily walked two batters in the first inning without any real damage, but he surrendered two home runs...

Hyde on Broxton: "His tools are off the charts" (O's down 7-5)

Hyde on Broxton: "His tools are off the charts" (O's down 7-5)
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said today that he expects new outfielder Keon Broxton to join the club in a day or two. "I think it's a little cloudy right now," he said. What's clear is Broxton, who's out of minor league options, will get an extended opportunity with the Orioles based on his tools and their needs. "He's a really athletic guy," Hyde said after the Orioles acquired Broxton from the Mets for international signing bonus slots. "I've seen him play quite a bit. His tools are...

Elias talks about Broxton, minor league prospects and more
The pending arrival of outfielder Keon Broxton might be only the tip of the Orioles roster iceberg. Executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias indicated today that he'd like to get Triple-A Norfolk outfielder DJ Stewart and catcher Chance Sisco to Baltimore relatively soon. It's a trickier maneuver with Stewart because he's a corner outfielder and the Orioles are playing Dwight Smith Jr. in left and Trey Mancini in right. First baseman Ryan Mountcastle and starter Keegan Akin...
