Orioles break out nicknames for "Players' Weekend"

Orioles break out nicknames for "Players' Weekend"
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Major League Baseball is holding another "Players' Weekend" on Aug. 24-26, and one of the perks is the unveiling of more nicknames that will appear on the backs of game jerseys. The Orioles made so many trades last month, fans need a program to learn the real names. But they can take a break and maybe learn a little more about the personalities. Infielder Tim Beckham is "Swaggy," dropping the "T" that accompanied it last year. Infielder Danny Valencia is...

Leftovers for breakfast

Leftovers for breakfast
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Whatever plans the Orioles made or at least discussed to select outfielder Cedric Mullins' contract from Triple-A Norfolk remain on hold as long as he's unable to play due to a stomach virus. Mullins was kept home last night and missed the Tides' 1-0 win over Scranton/Wilkes-Barre at Harbor Park. Meanwhile, Adam Jones started in center field as usual and homered in the first inning. Manager Buck Showalter has downplayed how Jones took fly balls in right field during...

Wrapping up a 5-4 win

Wrapping up a 5-4 win
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Orioles third base coach Bobby Dickerson will show up at Tropicana Field on Thursday and slip into his uniform and his second role with the club. As the infield instructor, he's going to want answers. Review the tape from tonight's game and figure out who's responsible for the various breakdowns and how they can be prevented in the future. The Orioles committed five errors and still managed to rally past the Rays 5-4 on Trey Mancini's two-run double off Sergio Romo in...

Orioles overcome defensive breakdowns to rally past Rays

Orioles overcome defensive breakdowns to rally past Rays
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - A couple of the Orioles' relievers ditched the bullpen bench after the bottom of the sixth inning tonight and began to get loose. No throwing was involved with Andrew Cashner at 83 pitches and cruising, but arms began to flap and rotate. Hamstrings were stretched. A one-run lead might be passed along and there are no longer the predictable choices awaiting manager Buck Showalter. Or a game might be tied due to more defensive breakdowns, which is how it played out. It's...

Showalter on Gentry, Davis on throwing error (tied 3-3)
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - The news was light again today as manager Buck Showalter sat in the visiting dugout at Tropicana Field for his pregame media session. Three of the four starters have been confirmed for the Red Sox series at Camden Yards. Dylan Bundy takes the mound in Friday night's opener, Yefry Ramírez starts one of the doubleheader games on Saturday and Alex Cobb closes out the series on Sunday. Jimmy Yacabonis is a candidate to be recalled from Triple-A Norfolk and start Saturday....

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Jonathan Villar leads off again tonight as the Orioles try to even the series with the Rays.

He allowed five runs and 11 hits in five innings at Tropicana Field, and two runs and five hits in six innings at Camden Yards. Cashner followed the second outing by lasting only 1 2/3 innings in Texas and surrendering 10 runs and seven hits, with three...

Notes on Givens, Jones, Cobb and opposing starters

Notes on Givens, Jones, Cobb and opposing starters
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - The Orioles couldn't carry a lead into the ninth inning last night and suffered their seventh walk-off loss of the season, their highest amount since totaling eight in 2014. There was no save situation after two unearned runs in the eighth tied the game. Mychal Givens didn't warm up and we'll never know whether he would have been used with a slim lead. Givens notched his second career save on Sunday by retiring all four Rangers that he faced. He replaced Paul Fry with...

Rays rally past Orioles 4-3 on Adames' walk-off home run (with quotes)

Rays rally past Orioles 4-3 on Adames' walk-off home run (with quotes)
ST. PETERSON, Fla. - Tim Beckham made a detour into the Rays' clubhouse this afternoon, visiting with old friends and teammates before heading back over to the other side. He didn't get lost, just a bit nostalgic. Alex Cobb started for the Orioles and didn't do as much socializing, but tonight's game also represented a "domecoming" for Cobb, who spent his first seven major league seasons with Tampa Bay. Unfortunately, Aubrey Huff couldn't be lured out of retirement. Beckham burned his...

Showalter provides pitching and injury updates (tied 3-3)
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Orioles rookie David Hess will start Thursday night's series finale against the Rays. Dylan Bundy is pushed back to Friday night against the Red Sox at Camden Yards. "I don't want David to get too far away from being out there," manager Buck Showalter said. "Also, I didn't want to necessarily have those three young guys lined up in a row, either, if I could help it." The Orioles have a day-night doubleheader on Saturday against the Red Sox, and Jimmy Yacabonis...

Araujo remains shut down with elbow injury
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - An Orioles' trip to The Trop enables rehabbing players to make the drive from the Ed Smith Stadium complex, rejoin the club and be evaluated by the medical staff. Infielder Steve Wilkerson, on the disabled list with a left oblique strain, is feeling much better and could begin an injury rehab assignment on Thursday. Meanwhile, Rule 5 pick Pedro Araujo is shut down again after receiving a platelet-rich plasma injection in his right elbow last week. He's been on the DL...

This, that and the other

This, that and the other
No one can judge a trade after only four games and no one is ready to anoint Jonathan Villar as an ideal successor to second baseman Jonathan Schoop. The Orioles don't know whether he's starting at the position for the remainder of the season and into 2019 and whether he's the top choice to bat leadoff based on his ability to swipe bags. But the early returns on Villar are favorable and the sample size is irrelevant. These are early returns. They don't need to stretch over two months to fit...

Now that you mention it ...

Now that you mention it ...
A few random questions as the Orioles reach another off-day on their schedule: What will the Orioles do in free agency this winter while committing to a rebuild? They could stay away from it and focus on trading a few more veterans in exchange for younger players or more international signing bonus slots. Perhaps check whether there's a market for Mark Trumbo as he enters the final year of his deal and is owed $13.5 million in 2019, according to Cot's Contracts. Trumbo receives $1.5 million...

More on international intentions and today's game

More on international intentions and today's game
Armed with more than $8 million in international signing bonus slots, the Orioles are poised to dive head-first into a market where they previously wouldn't dip a toe. They've already secured six players who have gone through the process of having medicals reviewed, including 16-year-old Dominican shortstop Moises Ramirez. An announcement is expected early next week and will involve prospects from the Dominican and Curaçao, with at least one signing out of Venezuela to follow. But the plan...

Updating Hunter Harvey's throwing progression

Updating Hunter Harvey's throwing progression
Double-A Bowie pitcher Hunter Harvey will resume his throwing program on Monday in Sarasota after being shut down due to some stiffness in his right forearm. Harvey, 23, has recovered from an injury to his right shoulder that he sustained while trying to avoid a line drive headed for the Baysox's dugout back in late May. Harvey was leaning on the railing, jumped back and suffered what's been described as "posterior shoulder instability." To simplify it, the shoulder popped out and back into...

Checking back with scouts on recent acquisitions

Checking back with scouts on recent acquisitions
Multiple scouts who have chimed in on the Orioles' return for their July trades use the term "up and down guys," labeled for their lower ceilings but usefulness on a major league club. Guys who may be riding the Triple-A shuttle but can serve a purpose. Reliever Evan Phillips joined the club yesterday in Texas while the Orioles placed Jhan Mariñez on the disabled list with a strained right hamstring. He retired all six batters he faced and became the 49th player used this season after...

The Orioles are ready to debut another player for the 2018 season. Reliever Jhan Mariñez was placed on the 10-day disabled list today with a strained right hamstring and the Orioles recalled right-hander Evan Phillips from Triple-A Norfolk. Phillips will wear No. 58. The Orioles acquired Phillips, infielder Jean Carlos Encarnación, catcher Brett Cumberland and left-hander Bruce Zimmermann - along with $2.5 million in international signing bonus slot money - from the Braves on Tuesday for...
