Hart claimed by Dodgers, wrapping up 5-4 loss

Hart claimed by Dodgers, wrapping up 5-4 loss
BRADENTON, Fla. - Left-hander Donnie Hart, designated for assignment by the Orioles on March 1, has been claimed off waivers by the Dodgers. The Orioles designated Hart to make room for infielder Hanser Alberto. He posted a 5.59 ERA and 2.224 WHIP in 20 appearances with the Orioles last summer. In his only spring inning, Hart retired the side in order with two strikeouts. The former 27th round pick has a 3.43 ERA and 1.500 WHIP in 93 major league games. Branden Kline fell behind 2-0 to the...

Wright stays on roll while unsure of role (O's lose 5-4)

Wright stays on roll while unsure of role (O's lose 5-4)
BRADENTON, Fla. - No matter what role fits Mike Wright in the eyes of manager Brandon Hyde, the most important point is how the right-hander has done everything needed to stay with the club. Leaving nothing to chance. Wright is out of options but he hasn't run out of time. Three more scoreless innings today against the Pirates raised his total to 10. If there's no room in the rotation, especially with early off-days eliminating the need for a fifth starter until April 10, the Orioles can...

Notes on Sucre debut, injuries, starters and more (O's up 3-2)
BRADENTON, Fla. - Jesús Sucre will make his Orioles debut by catching the first three innings of Friday afternoon's game against the Red Sox in Sarasota. Sucre, a late arrival due in camp to issues obtaining his work visa, also will catch Sunday against the Phillies in Sarasota. "I'll progress him as we go along, for sure," said manager Brandon Hyde. "He'll be in there." Austin Wynns was encouraged this morning by his MRI results after experiencing discomfort in his left oblique while...

Updates on Bleier, Wynns and Fry

Updates on Bleier, Wynns and Fry
SARASOTA, Fla. - Left-hander Richard Bleier is scheduled to make his Grapefruit League debut on Saturday when the Orioles play split-squad games against the Rays in Port Charlotte and the Yankees in Sarasota. Bleier threw a simulated game yesterday on one of the back fields at the Ed Smith Stadium complex - he said it counted as more than live batting practice because an umpire was used - and worked two "innings" against Mark Trumbo and Joey Rickard. "It went fine. It was good," he...

Leftovers for breakfast

Leftovers for breakfast
SARASOTA, Fla. - The lessons that are distributed in Orioles camp don't skip past the manager's office. Brandon Hyde is finding out a lot about his team, the layers of mystery peeled away as the days pass. "I'll tell you what, I just like our guys," Hyde said yesterday while standing in the visiting dugout at Charlotte Sports Park. "I like the way our guys work. I didn't know what kind of work ethic our guys had. I didn't know how guys prepared. I didn't know the makeup of our players...

Wrapping up a 9-6 win

Wrapping up a 9-6 win
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. - What else must Richie Martin do in order to make the Orioles roster on opening day besides stay healthy? Plenty of games remain on the docket before they break camp, but Martin seems to be doing everything right. The slick fielding. The speed and hustle on the basepaths. The hits that keep coming following his breakout offensive year at the Double-A level that didn't motivate the Athletics to protect him in the Rule 5 draft. Given another start at shortstop today, Martin...

Means unimpressed with today's outing (O's win 9-6)

Means unimpressed with today's outing (O's win 9-6)
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. - John Means will take the box score today with his final line and admire it for the three scoreless innings and five strikeouts. The surface beauty of it. But he won't be fooled by it. Means was a harsh critic while standing outside the visiting clubhouse, though the results did nothing to hurt his chances of making the club. He allowed only one hit, a bloop single for Kean Wong in the third that eluded retreating shortstop Richie Martin, and walked two batters. The...

Failure to stretch out Karns could cost rotation spot (tied 3-3)

Failure to stretch out Karns could cost rotation spot (tied 3-3)
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. - The need to slow-play Nate Karns through the first half of camp has jeopardized his chances of entering the rotation and potentially opens a second spot for a field of candidates. Karns lasted 1 2/3 innings in his spring debut on Feb. 25 and didn't pitch again until yesterday, retiring the side in order in the fourth. He was shut down briefly with some arm soreness. Manager Brandon Hyde noted yesterday that Karns didn't have his best fastball and indicated this morning...

Mancini with the latest pinky update (plus notes)

Mancini with the latest pinky update (plus notes)
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. - Trey Mancini still has wrapping on his left pinky finger, a reminder of an injury that amuses more than frustrates. The rare stolen base on Feb. 24, the head-first slide and an unfortunate collision between hand and Blue Jays shortstop Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Removed early from Saturday's game against the Red Sox in Fort Myers, Mancini has returned to the lineup today as the designated hitter. He's batting second against Rays starter Charlie Morton in chilly Port...

SARASOTA, Fla. - Chris Davis remains out of the Orioles lineup this afternoon with a left hip flexor strain. Rio Ruiz is starting at first base. Cedric Mullins is leading off and playing center field against the Rays in Port Charlotte. Trey Mancini is the designated hitter, getting back in the lineup after jamming his left pinky finger over the weekend. Anthony Santander is in left field and Yusniel Diaz is in right. Hanser Alberto is the second baseman and Rule 5 pick Richie Martin is the...

Notes on Mountcastle, Young, Yacabonis, catching and coaches

Notes on Mountcastle, Young, Yacabonis, catching and coaches
SARASOTA, Fla. - With so much attention given to Ryan Mountcastle's repetitions and game experience at first base, his slow start at the plate barely drew notice. One hit in 13 at-bats from an upper-tier prospect who usually can roll out of bed and square up a fastball. But what about the glove? How does he look at first? Is he really changing positions again? Talent wins out again. Mountcastle entered yesterday's game with four hits in his last six at-bats. Driving the ball into the gap and...

Wrapping up a 10-4 loss

Wrapping up a 10-4 loss
SARASOTA, Fla. - The level of concern emanating from manager Brandon Hyde today following reliever Mychal Givens' second spring appearance didn't register. Nothing above a zero. The needle didn't move. Givens again lasted only two-thirds of an inning and was charged with five runs and four hits. He surrendered a leadoff home run to J.B. Shuck in the fourth and a three-run shot to Josh Bell with two outs in the Orioles' 10-4 loss to the Pirates at Ed Smith Stadium. A spring ERA of 40.50 was...

Cobb, Karns and Givens talk about outings (O's lose 10-4)
SARASOTA, Fla. - Alex Cobb didn't make a quick and unexpected exit today. The veteran right-hander finished what he started, completing his scheduled three innings against the Pirates. He gave up one run and two hits, with a walk and strikeout. Cobb threw 43 pitches, 20 more than he totaled in only two-thirds of an inning in Friday's spring debut versus the Rays. He felt better about his outing "just from a comfort level," a calmness allowing him to proceed through the lineup. "First time...

SARASOTA, Fla. - As Mark Trumbo attempts to reach his target date of March 12 to play in his first exhibition game, manager Brandon Hyde continues to exhibit patience and understanding through the process with no intention of rushing it. The desire to have him in the opening day lineup won't override common sense. "Mark knows how I feel," Hyde said. "I want him to be healthy, so I'm not putting any date on it. I think a player wants to try to get back and I don't want to put a date on it...

Davis removed from lineup with sore hip
SARASOTA, Fla. - Orioles first baseman Chris Davis was scratched from the lineup today with a left hip flexor strain. Davis sustained the injury while fielding a throw up the line in Sunday's game against the Tigers in Sarasota. He batted yesterday against Jimmy Yacabonis in a simulated game at the Ed Smith Stadium complex and persistent discomfort lingered into this morning. The decision was made to replace Davis with Jace Peterson. Davis is considered day-to-day. "His hip flexor is a little...

SARASOTA, Fla. - A week remains before Mark Trumbo's target date to make his spring training debut. Whether he's ready for it remains an uncertainty, another reminder given this morning that it's tentative. "We're trying to work toward that," he said. "I'm not sure if we're going to make it or not, but working hard. "It's a progression. Some days are better than others. Trying to remain optimistic. Wish I could give you a little firmer idea, but mixing in the at-bats and stuff." The...

Cobb was limited to 23 pitches in two-thirds of an inning Friday against the Rays, and manager Brandon Hyde will try to stretch him out to at least two innings. Jonathan Villar returns to the lineup after taking a spike in his pinky finger Sunday in Fort Myers. He's starting at shortstop. Trey Mancini remains absent with swelling in his left pinky finger.

Sorting through spring stats and their relevance

Sorting through spring stats and their relevance
SARASOTA, Fla. - We've been warned in song to never fall in love with a dreamer. Former Ravens coach Brian Billick told the media to never fall in love with a guy in shorts, the message delivered each year in training camp. And every baseball manager preaches the dangers of falling in love with stats derived from exhibition games. Love stinks. Orioles manager Brandon Hyde is walking that fine line between judging competitors for various roster spots on their spring numbers and resisting the...

Wrapping up a 9-4 win

Wrapping up a 9-4 win
FORT MYERS, Fla. - Renato Núñez is a third baseman by trade who had no issues with moving across the diamond this afternoon. He's just trying to make the club. The glove won't be a primary reason if it happens. It's the bat that keeps teams intrigued and Núñez's might be heating up. Núñez crushed a fastball from Twins reliever Addison Reed in the third inning, his grand slam to left-center field giving the Orioles a lead they didn't surrender in a 9-4 win. Jordany...
