Hess on football mishap and wrapping up 14-2 loss

Hess on football mishap and wrapping up 14-2 loss
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Rookie David Hess will make his start on Saturday night against the Rays, with only a slight discoloration in the corner of his left eye. He let a football smack him in the face, but he caught a break. Hess is taking anti-inflammatory drops for his eye, but he's fine except for the kidding that comes from such a mishap. He has to wear it - and an LSU football helmet, which he donned early in the game while watching from the dugout. "I could not entirely tell you where...

Bundy's struggles continue in O's 100th loss

Bundy's struggles continue in O's 100th loss
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - The Orioles were bound to reach 100 losses this season. They couldn't run the table after No. 99. Too big of a task. One more home run allowed and Dylan Bundy would have sole possession of the club's single-season record. The two dubious milestones collided tonight. Nick Ciuffo hit his first major league homer, a three-run shot off Bundy in the bottom of the second inning, Kevin Kiermaier matched it in the third and the Rays topped the Orioles 14-2 at Tropicana...

More on Hess, Cobb, Joseph and Trumbo (O's down 14-2)
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - The Orioles are waiting to get the results of David Hess' eye examination and will decide whether they need to find another starter for Saturday night's game against the Rays at Tropicana Field. Hess is the victim of another dreaded football-related injury, though he didn't fracture a finger like Michael Bourn last spring training. The rookie pitcher was struck in the left eye while outrunning Trey Mancini and attempting to catch a pass before the Orioles took batting...

Hess and Cobb could miss starts this weekend

Hess and Cobb could miss starts this weekend
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - The Orioles rotation for the rest of the weekend series against the Rays could undergo major changes. Rookie David Hess was hit in the eye today while trying to catch a football during batting practice and was sent to a local specialist for an examination. Hess is supposed to start on Saturday, but may have to be skipped. Candidates to replace him include Yefry Ramírez, Jimmy Yacabonis and Luis Ortiz, though manager Buck Showalter prefers to use the latter out of the...

Updates on Wilkerson and Trumbo

Updates on Wilkerson and Trumbo
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Steve Wilkerson is inside the Orioles clubhouse and still in their plans for the future. It's the lineup and game action that are placed in doubt. Wilkerson is continuing his recovery from a hamstring injury despite the Orioles recalling him from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday. He hasn't played since Aug. 22 with the Tides. "It's coming along well," he said this afternoon at Tropicana Field. "I was talking to the trainers here this morning and the last couple days...

Orioles select Corban Joseph's contract

Orioles select Corban Joseph's contract
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - The Orioles have expanded their active roster today and created more versatility by selecting Corban Joseph's contract from Double-A Bowie. Joseph has joined the Orioles for their weekend series against the Rays at Tropicana Field. He's been assigned uniform No. 64. The younger brother of catcher Caleb Joseph, Corban was 1-for-9 in four games with the Orioles in June before they designated him for assignment and outrighted him. He made the Eastern League's All-Star...

This, that and the other

This, that and the other
A few observations, thoughts and random musings - they tend to have the same characteristics - while waiting for the start of a three-game series at climate-controlled Tropicana Field in the third-to-last road series of 2018: * The Orioles didn't bring back a major haul for second baseman Jonathan Schoop and pitchers Kevin Gausman and Darren O'Day at the non-waiver trade deadline. It was more about salary relief, international signing bonus slots and minor league depth. But second baseman...

Pointless to predict future roster, leftovers from last night

Pointless to predict future roster, leftovers from last night
SEATTLE - Put away the hammer and nails if you're trying to construct an opening day roster in 2019. Build a shelf. Or, if you're really ambitious and own the lumber, a gazebo is a nice touch and comes in handy for backyard entertaining. The Orioles don't know who's playing right field with Adam Jones a pending free agent and perhaps too expensive for a team slashing payroll and rebuilding without power tools. I've written about the wisdom of keeping him until someone is ready to play the...

Orioles spoil scoring chances in 5-2 loss

Orioles spoil scoring chances in 5-2 loss
SEATTLE - Andrew Cashner's mission tonight was to gain control of his pitch count, work through the middle innings and keep the Orioles within striking distance. Don't let the game get away from him. Don't become the grand marshal for a parade of relievers. The Mariners were trying to make it through the fifth inning without setting the major league record for errors. Provided with two unearned runs and a lead in the fifth, Cashner surrendered back-to-back homers in the bottom half and the...

Notes on Wilkerson, Hays, Ortiz, Mullins and more (O's down 5-2)

Notes on Wilkerson, Hays, Ortiz, Mullins and more (O's down 5-2)
SEATTLE - Infielder Steve Wilkerson is meeting up with the Orioles in St. Petersburg, Fla. for the weekend series against the Rays. However, the plan is to ease him into competition. Wilkerson was on the seven-day disabled list at Triple-A Norfolk with a hamstring injury and he won't be rushed back onto the field. He hasn't played since Aug. 22. The Orioles were hoping that one of their minor league affiliates would qualify for the playoffs, opening the possibility of Wilkerson getting into...

The Orioles couldn't find a trade partner and removed him from the active roster while recalling outfielder Joey Rickard from Triple-A Norfolk. Infielder Steve Wilkerson has been recalled from Norfolk after coming off the seven-day minor league disabled list and will join the Orioles in St. Petersburg, Fla., for their weekend...

Mulling over the use of Mullins (and more from last night's win)
SEATTLE - Cedric Mullins will return to the Orioles lineup tonight with the Mariners starting right-hander Mike Leake. Manager Buck Showalter already confirmed it yesterday when pressed for reasons why the rookie was missing again from last night's lineup. Mullins continues to sit against left-handers even though he bats from both sides of the plate, and fans on social media are growing more agitated. They might form a mob. Hide the pitchforks or replace them with plasticware. Though his hip...

Orioles rally in seventh and defeat Mariners 5-3

Orioles rally in seventh and defeat Mariners 5-3
SEATTLE - Alex Cobb gave up a run only three batters into tonight's game and nothing else through the sixth inning. One measly run. His seventh quality start in his last eight outings brought down his ERA and threatened to bring up more concerns and frustrations over an offense that failed to make the road trip. It showed up late, announced its presence with authority and wondered if the output was going to suffice. Cobb surrendered only four hits and settled into a nice groove, Renato...

Ortiz on promotion: "I was not anticipating anything" (O's up 4-3)
SEATTLE - Pitcher Luis Ortiz said he wasn't expecting the Orioles to contact him. He was prepared to go home after the minor league season and was glad to have his plans interrupted. One phone call and Ortiz was poised to make his major league debut. "I was not anticipating anything," he said this afternoon. "I was just going about my business and everything fell in place. Just was thinking about going home. It was a long season. I did what I had to do this year and then this happens. So,...

SEATTLE - The Orioles expanded their roster to 29 players today by selecting the contract of right-hander Luis Ortiz from Triple-A Norfolk. The 40-man roster still has one open spot.

He went 2-1 with a 3.69 ERA in six starts with Norfolk, and his 31 2/3 innings raised his season total to 99 2/3. Ortiz will become the 54th player used by the Orioles...

Updates on Harvey, Akin and Kline
SEATTLE - Hunter Harvey will remain shut down for one more week before resuming a throwing program that was interrupted due to some discomfort in his right elbow. Harvey underwent an MRI on Aug. 22 that didn't reveal any structural damage in the elbow, a huge relief to the young pitcher and an organization that's counting on him to become an integral part of the rebuilding process. The tendinitis in Harvey's elbow is subsiding and he'll be allowed to throw again off flat ground. He was...

Rogers works into the sixth in Orioles' 2-1 loss (updated)

Rogers works into the sixth in Orioles' 2-1 loss (updated)
SEATTLE - The rookie pitcher watched the rookie center fielder chase triples in the left-center field and right-center field gaps tonight, with the rookie designated hitter waiting for his next turn at the plate. The rookie starter-turned-reliever warmed in the bullpen before the rookie reliever-turned- starter switched back to his previous role and entered in the sixth inning. There's nothing to see in the standings besides the Orioles strengthening their hold on the first draft pick next...
