Thoughts on Meisinger and Yacabonis heading into doubleheader

Thoughts on Meisinger and Yacabonis heading into doubleheader
BOSTON - The rain washed away Jimmy Yacabonis' scheduled start last night and manager Buck Showalter snapped off a sharp curve by naming rookie Ryan Meisinger as the starter for Game 1 of today's doubleheader. He's waiting until his bullpen is settled to reveal his plans for Game 2. Meisinger has made 16 relief appearances and will become the 14th starter used by the Orioles this season, the same amount as the 1988 team. The 1955 club used 19. This is going to be another bullpen game....

No structural damage in Harvey's elbow (updated)

No structural damage in Harvey's elbow (updated)
BOSTON - An examination on Hunter Harvey's right elbow Monday in Baltimore didn't reveal any structural damage, with his latest bout of discomfort related to tendinitis. Harvey will remain shut down after his latest round of flat ground sessions in Sarasota were halted on Sept. 18. He's basically been prescribed rest. The Orioles no longer are sending Harvey to the Arizona Fall League, where he was supposed to pitch for the Glendale Desert Dogs. Harvey underwent an MRI on Aug. 22 that...

Orioles postponed tonight, split twinbill Wednesday

Orioles postponed tonight, split twinbill Wednesday
BOSTON - The Orioles won't need a starting pitcher tonight. The rotation shuffling and bullpen mining will carry over to Wednesday's split doubleheader at Fenway Park. Rain and a forecast with no window conspired to force the postponement of tonight's game, which will be made up Wednesday at 1:05 p.m. The nightcap is set to begin at 7:10 p.m. The Orioles will confirm their starters later today. Jimmy Yacabonis was supposed to start tonight and Wednesday's series finale - which also ends the...

Cervenka, Lee and Ripken among Orioles' minor league signings
BOSTON - The rain continues to fall at Fenway Park and the forecast remains ominous. However, there's been no word so far on a postponement and split doubleheader on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the Orioles announced that they've signed right-handers Cristian Alvarado and Francisco Jiménez, left-hander Chris Lee, catchers Martin Cervenka and Daniel Fajardo, infielder Anderson Feliz, and first basemen Ryan Ripken and Wilson García to minor league contracts for the 2019 season. Cervenka and Lee...

Roberts a big hit with baserunning tips in instructional league

Roberts a big hit with baserunning tips in instructional league
BOSTON - As the Orioles plow through the last six games of the 2018 season, continuing their final road series tonight at Fenway Park, their fall instructional league is humming along and attracting former All-Stars. I wrote earlier about the separate camps in Sarasota that divide players into traditional baseball activities, strictly hitting and strength-and-conditioning. Former Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts, inducted this summer into the team's Hall of Fame, made an appearance...

Bundy lasts only three innings in 6-2 loss (updated)

Bundy lasts only three innings in 6-2 loss (updated)
BOSTON - Orioles manager Buck Showalter couldn't announce his starter for Tuesday without knowing how Dylan Bundy fared tonight. Without knowing how deep into the game Bundy would pitch and how many times the bullpen phone rang. As more jackets came off relievers, fewer possibilities existed for Showalter. Only in a historically bad season can an expanded September roster stretch thin a manager's patience. Bundy neared 60 pitches after two innings and hauled a four-run deficit back to the...

Notes on rotation, Means, Tate, Jones and more (O's down 6-2)

Notes on rotation, Means, Tate, Jones and more (O's down 6-2)
BOSTON - The Orioles are challenged again to come up with a suitable number of starters to get through the last week of the season. The Tuesday vacancy remains and a replacement for Yefry Ramírez is needed for Wednesday's series finale due to a cut on the rookie's right thumb. Ramírez could pitch again this week, but he needs more time for the cut to heal. "I'd like to give him an extra day or two," said manager Buck Showalter. "I think Yefry will pitch again but I'm not sure when....

BOSTON - With the Orioles scrambling to fill out their pitching staff over the final week of the season, injuries and innings limits conspiring to leave them shorthanded, the decision has been made to select left-hander John Means' contract from Triple-A Norfolk. Means has joined the team in Boston for tonight's series opener against the Red Sox. How the Orioles intend to use Means is unknown and should be revealed later today. They haven't announced a starter for Tuesday night and Means...

Jones assisting Orioles in right field

Jones assisting Orioles in right field
NEW YORK - Adam Jones didn't play yesterday in the series finale at Yankee Stadium, but he contributed by bringing out the lineup card. The idea hit him and he reached out to manager Buck Showalter, who shared the same thought. "He can have it any day he wants, trust me," Showalter said after a 6-3 win. "It just enhances my relationship with umpires. "No, he texted me about it (yesterday) and I said I already had it planned. He stole my thunder. He enjoyed it. He's 1-0." It was a fairly...

Wrapping up a 6-3 win

Wrapping up a 6-3 win
NEW YORK - Alex Cobb knew his finger was going to flare up today while he warming in the bullpen. It wasn't a sudden occurrence. He didn't have visions of a lengthy start. The signs pointed toward an early exit and non-blistered fingers crossed. Cobb was done after four pitches, but the bullpen covered nine innings in a 6-3 victory that gave the Orioles five victories in nine games at Yankee Stadium for their only winning record in an American League ballpark. "I knew I wasn't going to last...

Bullpen handles nine innings and Beckham homers twice in 6-3 win

Bullpen handles nine innings and Beckham homers twice in 6-3 win
NEW YORK - Orioles manager Buck Showalter always talks about having to prepare for the what-ifs. As in, what if the starting pitcher gets nailed on the shin by a line drive in the first inning? How will the bullpen cover the rest of the game? Showalter sits down with pitching coach Roger McDowell and bullpen coach Alan Mills to ascertain the availability of their relievers. An expanded roster doesn't necessarily provide adequate cover. Alex Cobb's blister issues had the Orioles on high alert...

Cobb exits after four pitches and O's down early (O's lead 6-3)
NEW YORK - Alex Cobb's season has ended today after four pitches. The blister on Cobb's right middle finger flared up again while the veteran was facing Yankees leadoff hitter Andrew McCutchen. Cobb threw four fastballs between 90 and 92 mph, getting ahead 0-2 in the count before missing with the last two. Cobb looked down at his finger after the fourth pitch, swiped at the ball with his glove in disgust and glanced toward the Orioles dugout. Manager Buck Showalter came to the mound and Cobb...

Pregame notes before series finale in the Bronx

Pregame notes before series finale in the Bronx
NEW YORK - Yefry Ramírez will get the start Wednesday night in Boston. Dylan Bundy pitches the opener Monday night. What happens on Tuesday is largely dependent on which relievers are needed today with Alex Cobb returning to the rotation. Another blister flare-up could tax the bullpen and leave manager Buck Showalter scrambling for a Tuesday starter. Left-hander Sean Gilmartin and Jimmy Yacabonis are two possibilities. "You do manage a game trying to win, but you're also trying to make...

Breyvic Valera is batting second and playing second base. Jonathan Villar is the shortstop. Tim Beckham is the designated hitter. Chris Davis goes to the bench. Before Steve Wilkerson yesterday, the last Orioles player to get thrown out twice at the plate in the same game while trying to take an extra base was Eddie Murray on June 24, 1988...

Showalter on Jones setting "a great example for future players"

Showalter on Jones setting "a great example for future players"
NEW YORK - The last road trip of the 2018 season includes today's finale in the Bronx before the Orioles board their charter to Boston. The Adam Jones checklist has room for what's expected to be his final appearance with the Orioles at Yankee Stadium. There won't be a ceremony. Fans in the bleachers won't chant his name. But pretty much everything relating to Jones is deemed noteworthy as he moves closer to free agency. Last time he dresses in front of a locker. Last time he plays catch in...

Hicks double off Fry in 11th hands Orioles 3-2 loss (updated)

Hicks double off Fry in 11th hands Orioles 3-2 loss (updated)
NEW YORK - Orioles manager Buck Showalter said no one is smart enough to have a complete read on a pitcher in only one season. He won't pronounce the book on David Hess complete after 18 starts and 20 appearances. Hess has dazzled and disappointed. He's been a rookie surviving on location and mixing his pitches. He could be a starter, reliever, Triple-A depth or all of the above. No one knows whether DJ Stewart will have a long and productive career after only nine games. He, too, will get...

Davis: "I'm just honestly trying to get to the finish line" (tied 2-2)

Davis: "I'm just honestly trying to get to the finish line" (tied 2-2)
NEW YORK - The season is down to nine games. Chris Davis has at least one more to play by serving today as the designated hitter. What happens next is unknown beyond how he'll sit Sunday against Yankees left-hander J.A. Happ. Davis' average has sunk to .170 with a .545 OPS after he went 0-for-4 with a walk and four strikeouts last night. One hit in his last 34 at-bats, with 17 strikeouts, is the latest version of a slump that's never completely let go of him. It's hard to find any sort of...

Updating Cashner, Harvey and Davis

Updating Cashner, Harvey and Davis
NEW YORK - Andrew Cashner continues to have some pain running from his left knee to his shin and there are no plans for him to start again. Cashner's status could change if there's sudden improvement, but the club won't push him back on the mound and he won't pitch with the discomfort and risk a more serious injury that could impact 2019. "He's been trying to gauge it's improvement almost every day and we haven't gotten enough to think that that's in the near future," Showalter...
