Notes on Mullins, upcoming starters, playing spoiler and more

Notes on Mullins, upcoming starters, playing spoiler and more
Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins is just getting a rest day, according to manager Brandon Hyde. He isn't injured and he isn't necessarily staying on the bench for tonight's series opener in Philadelphia. "After a busy weekend, it's a good day to give him a rest and he'll be ready for a pinch-hit or coming into the game," Hyde said. Mullins is one home run short of joining the 30/30 club and being the lone member with the Orioles. Mullins is trying to become the first center fielder,...

Orioles lineup vs. Phillies

Orioles lineup vs. Phillies
The Orioles lineup for tonight's series opener in Philadelphia excludes Cedric Mullins, Trey Mancini and Ramón Urías. Mancini had his first multi-RBI game yesterday since July 11 against the White Sox, but he's dealing with a sore oblique. Urías has been in and out of the lineup with to a sore right leg. National League rules prevent Mancini from serving as the designated hitter. Austin Hays, with seven RBIs in his last five games and 18 in his last 15, is leading off and playing...

Hanhold back in majors and working to stay there

Hanhold back in majors and working to stay there
BOSTON - Orioles manager Brandon Hyde expressed his opinion of reliever Eric Hanhold by getting the right-hander out of Friday night's game after only two batters. Sounds bad until Hyde explains why. Hanhold retired both batters in the sixth after replacing Dusten Knight, snagging a comebacker to get Hunter Renfroe in a rundown between second and third base and striking out Rafael Devers on a 95 mph fastball, and made such an impression on Hyde that he was removed to keep him available the...

Wells retires 11 of 12, but O's lose 8-6 to complete sweep (updated)

Wells retires 11 of 12, but O's lose 8-6 to complete sweep (updated)
BOSTON - The last of the three young starters for the Orioles took his lumps today just like everyone else. With the Red Sox showing no mercy early in their quest to earn a wild card spot in the playoffs. Go easy and you might be going home, and not to host a game in the postseason. Alexander Wells stepped into traffic this afternoon, knowing the risks and hoping to come out fine on the other side. Whether he did is open to interpretation, but it sure felt that way. He loaded the bases with no...

Urías scratched from lineup, Mancini and Severino return

Urías scratched from lineup, Mancini and Severino return
BOSTON - Ramón Urías worked out at third base this morning and has been scratched from the original lineup. Kelvin Gutiérrez is starting at third base. Urías has been bothered by soreness in his right leg, which takes him in and out of the lineup. "He went and tried to run this morning and it didn't feel great," said manager Brandon Hyde. Anthony Santander is in left field again, a Fenway Park maneuver, with Austin Hays in right. Trey Mancini returns to the lineup as the...

Orioles add relievers Eshelman and Kriske to active roster

Orioles add relievers Eshelman and Kriske to active roster
BOSTON - The Orioles shook up their bullpen again this morning by selecting the contract of Thomas Eshelman from Triple-A Norfolk and recalling Brooks Kriske from the Tides. In corresponding moves, the club has optioned Spenser Watkins to Norfolk and designated Dusten Knight for assignment. Knight had to be moved in order to create space for Eshelman on the 40-man roster. Kriske, claimed off waivers from the Yankees, joined the Orioles over the weekend and went through the intake process after...

Orioles value young contributors as losing gets old

Orioles value young contributors as losing gets old
BOSTON - The Orioles conclude their series against the Red Sox this afternoon with another rookie on the mound. Another enormous challenge that, at the least, can push along the education of a young starting pitcher. As long as it doesn't break him. Alexander Wells receives his turn after Keegan Akin and Zac Lowther pitched in the first two games of the series. Got to make sure the Red Sox get their fill of lefty prospects. So, where does this group go for support? To ensure that any beatings...

Orioles can't maintain rapid pace in 9-3 loss (updated)

Orioles can't maintain rapid pace in 9-3 loss (updated)
BOSTON - The Orioles came out swinging today in baseball's most literal sense. The first pitch to Cedric Mullins was lined into left field for a double. The first to Ryan Mountcastle was launched for a two-run homer. The first to Anthony Santander was lined to center for a single. The first to Austin Hays was pulled foul before he drew a walk. Nick Pivetta needed to pivot. The Orioles needed to find a way to sustain their momentum, which can be halted as if reaching a barricade. Rookie Zac...

Pat Valaika is the second baseman, with Richie Martin at shortstop. Urías has a 12-game on-base streak. He also has a sore right upper leg.

Putting Jones' audition on hold takes him out of infield rotation

Putting Jones' audition on hold takes him out of infield rotation
BOSTON - The decision late Thursday night to option Orioles infielder Jahmai Jones to Triple-A Norfolk apparently was made to provide consistent at-bats to a player who had migrated to the bench. His last start on Sept. 11 prompting a reporter to ask manager Brandon Hyde whether Jones was injured. That's one reason why Jones is gone. He would have stayed in the lineup if swinging a hotter bat and playing better in the field. And opportunities at second base were drying up, with Hyde preferring...

Hays' homer can't hold back 100th loss (updated)
BOSTON - They didn't look like the Red Sox tonight. The yellow jerseys and powder blue caps. Promotional uniforms from Nike, also featured by six other clubs. Couldn't fool the Orioles, though. They knew which team was running up Keegan Akin's pitch count early, wrestling away a lead and preparing to hand them a 100th loss in 2021. Four of the first five hits off Akin were for extra bases, including Bobby Dalbec's leadoff home run in the fourth, left-hander Chris Sale marked his return from...

A day after optioning Jahmai Jones, the club has recalled pitcher Dusten Knight from Triple-A Norfolk to provide another arm in their bullpen. Knight has made five appearances with the Orioles and allowed six earned runs (seven total) and eight hits in 7 1/3 innings. He's walked four batters and struck out nine.

Mountcastle surpasses Ripken in Orioles' 3-2, 10-inning win (updated)

Mountcastle surpasses Ripken in Orioles' 3-2, 10-inning win (updated)
Individual achievements remain in play for the Orioles as the final weeks expire on their season. During those times when trying to be spoilers doesn't bring full satisfaction. Ryan Mountcastle led off the bottom of the sixth inning today by depositing Jordan Montgomery's sinker into the Orioles bullpen, his 29th home run breaking Cal Ripken Jr.'s rookie record for a single season. Mountcastle also cut a deficit in half and the bullpen provided 4 1/3 scoreless innings in regulation. Clay...

Tyler Wells on battling fatigue and fluke hits

Tyler Wells on battling fatigue and fluke hits
This isn't the first stretch of games that has mistreated Orioles rookie Tyler Wells. He's faced adversity this summer. Head-on and in front of vocal crowds. He's overcome it, too. Perhaps it just seems like a new situation for Wells because he's the closer, his jump as a Rule 5 selection from Double-A to the majors requiring more length and with further risk of a rough landing. Wells has fumbled back-to-back save opportunities, the latest Wednesday night against the Yankees. His ERA in the...

Trey Mancini and Pedro Severino remain out of the Orioles lineup this afternoon for the series finale against the Yankees that also closes out the homestand. "Both of those guys a little bit better today," said manager Brandon Hyde. "Trey's testing it right now in the batting cage and obviously not starting, but hopefully in the lineup in the next couple days." Infielder Jahmai Jones remains on the bench, but he isn't hurt. "Just playing Richie (Martin) at short tonight, keeping...

Orioles claim Kriske off waivers

Orioles claim Kriske off waivers
The Orioles claimed right-hander Brooks Kriske off waivers from the Yankees this afternoon and optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk. Pitcher Jorge López was transferred to the 60-day injured list to open a spot on the 40-man roster. López is done for the season after spraining his right ankle. Kriske, 27, was a sixth-round pick in 2016 out of USC who made eight relief appearances this summer and allowed 13 earned runs (14 total) and 12 hits in 7 2/3 innings. He walked six batters and struck...

Long on hitters: "We've had a lot of room to grow"

Long on hitters: "We've had a lot of room to grow"
Because the terms of manager Brandon Hyde's contract with the Orioles weren't shared with the public - and that does include the media, even if some of us shouldn't be allowed to mingle - it's more of an assumption than solid confirmation that his three-year deal includes an option for the 2022 season. The expectation is that he's returning, though nothing official has come across. The outlook is more uncertain for the coaching staff, which routinely seems to undergo changes. Doug Brocail...

Orioles rally for lead and relinquish it in ninth in 4-3 loss (updated)

Orioles rally for lead and relinquish it in ninth in 4-3 loss (updated)
Gary Sánchez drove a fastball to deep center field tonight in the second inning, flipping his bat on the backswing, and began his trip around the bases. Where else was he going after making that kind of contact? Cedric Mullins sprinted to the ball, timed his leap at the fence and reached high above it, came down, hopped twice to his left - sticking the landing wasn't important in this event - and flipped it to Austin Hays. Hays would flip the lead later and watch it spin back. John Means...

Notes on Mancini, Severino, Means, Mullins, Mountcastle and more
Trey Mancini was written into today's lineup as the designated hitter, but he swung in the cage, felt more discomfort in his right oblique/abdomen and moved to the bench for the game. "Just still feels it a little bit," said manager Brandon Hyde. "We're not going to push him on this and the right thing to do is to give it another day or two and just kind of evaluate it every single day. I'm not going to throw him out there if he still feels it a little bit in kind of a sensitive area...

Orioles lineup vs. Yankees (updated)
The Orioles will try to end a four-game losing streak with Trey Mancini staying in the lineup and Pedro Severino removed from it. Mancini came out of last night's game after one plate appearance with right abdominal soreness. Severino struggled to get up the first base line on a double play grounder in the sixth inning due to soreness in his leg/groin area, and Austin Wynns replaced him. Mancini is the first Oriole to walk in eight consecutive games since Brian Roberts in 2009. Ryan...
