Orioles trade Armstrong to Rays (Hartman claimed off waivers)

Orioles trade Armstrong to Rays (Hartman claimed off waivers)
The Orioles kicked off the final day of baseball's trade deadline by moving one of the organization's relievers. Not one who's on the active roster or has been riding the waves of rumors and speculation. The Rays have acquired right-hander Shawn Armstrong from the Orioles for cash considerations. A source confirmed that a deal was close and the Orioles just announced it. Armstrong was designated for assignment on June 4 after posting an 8.55 ERA and 1.900 WHIP in 20 games. He accepted his...

Trade deadline arrives today with O's still trying to make a deal

Trade deadline arrives today with O's still trying to make a deal
We've plummeted below the 24-hour mark until reaching baseball's trade deadline. It's the final countdown. We're leaving together, but still it's farewell. Executive vice president/general manager Mike Elias is fielding and making calls, the activity brisk but producing nothing so far that's impacting the roster and the rebuild. There aren't many trade chips on the table, but contenders certainly are expressing interest in a handful of them, most notably in the bullpen. Quite similar to...

Cabrera homers twice and Orioles lose 6-2 (updated)

Cabrera homers twice and Orioles lose 6-2 (updated)
Over the past few hours, the Orioles attempted to win a game in Detroit, find a trade partner and gain more clarity on their roster heading into the weekend. They went 0-for-3. Casey Mize was only partially to blame. Rookie Alexander Wells surrendered four runs in five innings, Mize carried a shutout into the seventh, the Tigers won 6-2 and manager Brandon Hyde concluded his postgame Zoom call with the same players who made the ride from the team hotel to Comerica Park earlier in the...

Notes on Valaika, Santander, Galvis and Wells

Notes on Valaika, Santander, Galvis and Wells
There isn't much news to report from the Orioles as afternoon moves into evening. Pat Valaika is out of the lineup again tonight in Detroit, his last start coming Sunday against the Nationals. He played an inning last night. Manager Brandon Hyde indicated that Valaika is fine physically. "I'm just giving (Domingo) Leyba some opportunities against right-handed pitching," Hyde said on his Zoom call. Valaika hit a home run on July 21 and two more the following game. He had a single and RBI in...

Orioles lineup vs. Tigers and game notes
Can the Orioles produce another ninth inning win? If so, it's going to happen in Detroit, where they begin a four-game series against the Tigers. Austin Hays is in right field tonight with Ryan McKenna in left. DJ Stewart is batting fourth as the designated hitter. Trey Mancini is playing first base and Ryan Mountcastle is on the bench. Domingo Leyba gets another start at second base and Austin Wynns is catching. McKenna's bases-loaded walk in the ninth inning last night was the club's first...

Akin back with Orioles and awaiting further instructions

Akin back with Orioles and awaiting further instructions
While the Orioles decide what's next for pitcher Keegan Akin, he's just glad to rejoin the team and continue hoping for a more peaceful stretch in his professional life. His failure to make the club out of spring training was followed by a cut left index finger sustained in a kitchen accident in April that ruined a chance to be recalled. He finally made it back to the team and into the rotation and had to be scratched from a July 21 start against the Rays due to his placement on the COVID-19...

Mancini: "I love this team and being a leader on this team"
The repetition and predictability bring such amusement to Orioles first baseman Trey Mancini that he's able to crack a joke about missing the 2020 season and experiencing the most frightening moments of his life. Mancini's name is coming up again in rumors and speculation as the trade deadline approaches. The media wants to know whether he's heard anything, how he'd react to leaving the organization, if he thinks the Orioles will attempt to negotiate an extension. You can set your baseball...

McKenna walks in ninth for walk-off win (updated)

McKenna walks in ninth for walk-off win (updated)
The parade of former Orioles pitchers was bound to stumble. It only takes one. Richard Bleier, the fourth to wear the designation tonight for the Marlins, allowed the tying runs to score in the eighth inning with a defensive breakdown providing an unwanted assist. Ryan McKenna walked with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth and the Orioles rallied past Miami 8-7 before an announced crowd of 8,363 at Camden Yards. Pedro Severino and Trey Mancini homered and the Orioles head to Detroit...

Updates on Akin and Santander (plus lineup)

Updates on Akin and Santander (plus lineup)
Orioles pitcher Keegan Akin and outfielder Anthony Santander have completed the COVID-19 protocols implemented by Major League Baseball. Akin is throwing a bullpen session today and Santander is cleared to take batting practice, run and participate in defensive drills. The club will decide soon whether to return them to the active roster after their layoff. "We're going to evaluate both of them after today," said manager Brandon Hyde. "We want to get them on the field. It's been a week....

Wondering how holes could be filled if trades go down

Wondering how holes could be filled if trades go down
To keep the activity in its proper order, discussions about filling vacancies on the Orioles roster should be tabled until trades are consummated. But who said anything about being proper? The Orioles are receiving interest in left-handed relievers Paul Fry and Tanner Scott, and removing one likely leads to a promotion from Triple-A Norfolk. They are the only southpaws in the bullpen. This could open the door for veteran Fernando Abad, who has spent the entire season with Norfolk. The 5.23 ERA...

Bullpen trade chips aren't displayed in 7-3 loss (updated)
Scouts who descended upon Camden Yards again tonight weren't attracted to the crab cakes and pit beef. Those are just perks of the job. The Orioles are sellers again and the trade deadline is 4 p.m. Friday. Contenders are checking on available players and determining whether there's a potential match and at what cost. The weekend series against the Nationals and the current two-game set against the Marlins comprise the final homestand before August. Remaining observations on Orioles trade...

DJ Stewart is in right field tonight and Austin Hays is starting in left as the Orioles begin a two-game series against the Marlins at Camden Yards. Ryan Mountcastle is the cleanup hitter and first baseman, and Trey Mancini is serving as the designated hitter. Mancini is 13-for-33 (.394) with two doubles and two home runs during his eight-game hitting streak. He has multiple hits in five of those games. Domingo Leyba took ground balls at second base before batting practice and that's where...

Tyler Wells wants chance to close when healthy

Tyler Wells wants chance to close when healthy
If you try to cast a silver lining into Tyler Wells' baseball world relating to his wrist injury, you won't get a nibble. The Orioles are monitoring his innings after he underwent Tommy John surgery and didn't pitch the last two seasons. A brief stay on the injured list makes it easier, giving the Rule 5 pick an unexpected rest period that could benefit him over the last two months. Wells stood in front of the dugout steps Sunday morning while teammates did some throwing in the outfield, a...

Fry on trade talk: "I want to be part of the solution either way"

Fry on trade talk: "I want to be part of the solution either way"
A new week is going to reheat the same old trade deadline talk. Which players are chips for the Orioles front office, which ones lost their luster. Who's more likely to leave and who's a longshot. What's become more evident as Friday approaches, executives ordered to put down their pencils at 4 p.m., is how left-handers Paul Fry and Tanner Scott are most likely to be gone. Pick one. This is a common expectation within the industry and who am I to argue? They're bringing the most appeal and...

Means works into seventh and O's rally for 5-4 win (updated)

Means works into seventh and O's rally for 5-4 win (updated)
The plan for left-hander Johns Means today was to extend him further than his first start after his reinstatement from the injured list. The pitch limit would be stretched beyond 78. His innings in the right scenario would move past the fifth. "I'm going to bump him up," manager Brandon Hyde said earlier in the day. "Hopefully, everything goes well and he'll go deeper in the game." Means kept Hyde relaxed until the sixth, when Ryan Zimmerman hit a three-run homer to erase a 3-1 lead. Trey...

Orioles and Nationals lineups

Orioles and Nationals lineups
The Orioles are going for the sweep this afternoon with John Means making his second start since exiting the injured list. Means allowed five runs in five innings Tuesday night against the Rays and the Orioles held him to 78 pitches. He's made one career start against the Nationals and surrendered three runs and four hits in two-thirds of an inning on Aug. 16, 2020. Ramón Urías gets a break today, with Pat Valaika at shortstop and Domingo Leyba at second base. Trey Mancini is the...

Another debut on deck for Orioles

Another debut on deck for Orioles
The land of opportunity opened its doors to another newcomer yesterday. Conner Greene went from taxi squad pitcher to Triple-A Norfolk's bullpen to Camden Yards, where he's trying to become the 12th Oriole to make his major league debut this season. The club record, which I botched earlier this year due to an erroneous article found in a Google search, is 15 in 2018. The previous mark was 14 in 1955, followed by 12 in 2012 and 2001, per STATS research. I'd challenge anyone to name the 15...

Harvey chips in with six scoreless again in 5-3 win (updated)

Harvey chips in with six scoreless again in 5-3 win (updated)
The latest reshaping of the Orioles rotation, like a big ball of clay that can be manipulated to take on many forms, put Matt Harvey into tonight's game rather than assigning him the task of closing out the series a day later. Manager Brandon Hyde didn't want Harvey waiting a full week between starts after the veteran right-hander tossed six scoreless innings in his last outing. Harvey didn't want to wait any longer. Meanwhile, the Nationals scratched Max Scherzer due to right triceps...

Ryan McKenna is in left field and DJ Stewart is in right. Trey Mancini is the first baseman, with Ryan Mountcastle serving as designated hitter. Ramón Urías remains in the fifth spot in the order. However, the Nationals scratched starter Max Scherzer due to mild triceps soreness and moved up left-hander Jon Lester. Do the Orioles...

Conner Greene joins Orioles (plus other notes)

Conner Greene joins Orioles (plus other notes)
The Orioles replaced injured reliever Tyler Wells today with reliever Conner Greene, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Norfolk. Greene, wearing No. 71, is waiting to become the 12th Orioles player to make his major league debut this season. He's been on a few taxi squads. Wells went on the 10-day injured list yesterday with tendinitis in his right wrist. Greene, 26, is a former seventh-round draft pick of the Blue Jays in 2013. The Orioles signed him to a minor league deal in...
