Orioles and Royals lineups (updated)

Orioles and Royals lineups (updated)
DJ Stewart remains in the cleanup spot today, serving as the designated hitter for the series finale against the Royals in Kansas City. Austin Hays is in right field and Ryan McKenna in left, with Trey Mancini the first baseman. No Ryan Mountcastle or Anthony Santander. Domingo Leyba gets the start at second base and Kelvin Gutierrez is at third. Austin Wynns is catching. Shortstop Ramón Urías has six multi-hit games in his last nine, going 12-for-34 (.353) after being 5-for-36 (.139) in...

Early production from Stewart and Urías leads Orioles to win

Early production from Stewart and Urías leads Orioles to win
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde told the media prior to the break that DJ Stewart would get more chances to play, that their conversation included instructions to keep his head up. A crowded outfield wouldn't push Stewart out the door or too far down the bench. "It's a long season left," Hyde said, "and he's going to get plenty of at-bats here in the second half." In the lineup for only the third time this month, Stewart singled twice and had an RBI and two runs scored by the third inning....

Does Akin keep auditioning in Orioles rotation?

Does Akin keep auditioning in Orioles rotation?
Without an official clock to check, I'm guessing that a week to 10 days have passed since someone asked Orioles manager Brandon Hyde whether Keegan Akin would be more effective and valuable as a bulk reliever. A week to 10 days since Hyde had to execute the tricky maneuver of pointing out the obvious without being condescending. Akin would be a big help to the Orioles in a bullpen role based on his ability to consume innings and perhaps avoid going through a lineup more than once. But there's...

Orioles sign Cowser, tonight's lineups (updated)

Orioles sign Cowser, tonight's lineups (updated)
The Orioles signed outfielder Colton Cowser, their first-round selection in the draft out of Sam Houston State. Cowser received a $4.9 million bonus. The slot value with the fifth pick is $6,180,700. Cowser was in the Baltimore area for his physical, with an announcement of his signing expected over the weekend. He joins infielder Connor Norby, the second-rounder out of East Carolina University, as Orioles draft selections under contract in the last two days. With Cowser and Norby signing...

López rejoins Orioles to make tonight's start

López rejoins Orioles to make tonight's start
The Orioles reinstated right-hander Jorge López from the bereavement list and he's starting tonight against the Royals in Kansas City. The active roster is full again. A player on the bereavement list must be away from the team for a minimum of three days, not three games. López is eligible to come back today. López has returned to Kauffman Stadium, where he's 1-6 with a 7.93 ERA and 1.672 WHIP in 21 games (11 starts). He pitched for the Royals from 2018-20, when the Orioles claimed...

Pitching prospects lined up at Norfolk, but how long do they stay?

Pitching prospects lined up at Norfolk, but how long do they stay?
As pitching prospects move up or down to Triple-A Norfolk, getting the bump from Double-A Bowie or the boot from the Orioles, the Tides are stringing them together in a rotation that earlier was patched with minor league free agents. Dean Kremer took the ball Tuesday and left-hander Zac Lowther the next night. John Means, on his injury rehab assignment, interrupted the flow on Thursday and pushed back Kyle Bradish to last night and lefty Kevin Smith to tonight. Alexander Wells' placement on...

Short starts resume in second half in 9-2 loss (updated)

Short starts resume in second half in 9-2 loss (updated)
The Orioles were comfortable going with a 25-man roster tonight in Kansas City following a four-day break that rested and recharged a tired bullpen. Manager Brandon Hyde didn't want to dip into it early, no matter its condition, but that same break didn't improve the early results of the second-half rotation. Rookie Keegan Akin fell behind by six runs in three innings and the Orioles lost to the Royals 9-2. Cedric Mullins singled in his first two at-bats, the only hits against Royals...

López expected to start Saturday night (and other notes)

López expected to start Saturday night (and other notes)
The Orioles are going with a 25-man roster for tonight's game against the Royals in Kansas City. They've decided to leave a spot open for starter Jorge López's anticipated return Saturday from the bereavement list. López would make the start later that night. The three-man taxi squad consists of pitchers Alexander Wells and Conner Greene and catcher Nick Ciuffo, so the Orioles have coverage for López if he's unavailable. "We're hoping that Lopie will be back tomorrow, and if...

Orioles and Royals lineups
Ryan Mountcastle stays in the Orioles lineup tonight as the first baseman in Kansas City after being drilled on the left elbow Sunday and leaving the game in the top of the second inning. Austin Hays is in left field and Anthony Santander is in right. Kelvin Gutierrez is the third baseman and Pat Valaika is playing second. The Orioles haven't revealed their starters for the Royals series beyond rookie left-hander Keegan Akin tonight. Akin gets his eighth start of the season and his 13th...

Diaz still can't crack crowded Orioles outfield

Diaz still can't crack crowded Orioles outfield
The Orioles begin the non-mathematical second half of their season tonight in Kansas City with six outfielders on the roster if counting Ryan Mountcastle, who's listed as an infielder on the team's website. He's made 31 starts at first base and 18 in left field. Let's just say the Orioles have six players on their roster who can play the outfield - seven if including Trey Mancini, but he hasn't done it since 2019. That's the kind of excess talked about over the winter and in spring...

Akin gets start Friday night in Kansas City
The Orioles have revealed only a small portion of their rotation plans. Left-hander Keegan Akin is starting Friday night against the Royals in Kansas City, but the next two spots are listed as TBA. Possibilities include Thomas Eshelman and Spenser Watkins. Jorge López is on the bereavement list and veteran Matt Harvey is pushed back to the Rays series. The corresponding roster move for López will be announced on Friday. Dean Kremer started Tuesday night for Triple-A Norfolk and...

López goes on bereavement list
The Orioles haven't announced their rotation for the series in Kansas City that begins Friday night, but it won't include Jorge López. López was placed on the bereavement list this afternoon, a move that makes him unavailable until at least the series that follows against the Rays in St. Petersburg. Fla. The bereavement list is used for a player needing to leave the team to attend to a serious illness or death in his immediate family or his spouse's immediate family. The player is...

Non-roster players keep getting chances with Orioles

Non-roster players keep getting chances with Orioles
The Orioles drafted a second baseman in the second round, Connor Norby of East Carolina University, but he isn't blocking Jahmai Jones. I already saw and approved that joke on Twitter. Norby is praised by scouts for his solid tools across the board. He's a career .392/.458/.596 hitter at East Carolina. He led the nation with 102 hits this year. But I'm betting that Jones beats him to the majors. Any takers? Jones is batting .279 with an .863 OPS after Tuesday night's single and triple and...

Mullins scores a run in All-Star Game

Mullins scores a run in All-Star Game
Cedric Mullins was able to serve as a leadoff hitter tonight in the All-Star Game at Coors Field in Denver. Just in a different manner than his usual role with the Orioles. Batting ninth in the American League's order but the first to the plate in the top of the third inning. Mullins struck out against the Brewers' Corbin Burnes and watched from the dugout as the Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a long home run to left field for a 2-0 lead. But he got one more chance in the fifth,...

Orioles enter full-squad reset before second half
Every Oriole finally is able to take a break. Trey Mancini finished as runner-up Monday night in the Home Run Derby. Cedric Mullins started for the American League and scored a run in last night's All-Star Game. Two days for the team to clear its collective heads and get back to business, which hasn't exactly been a pleasant experience in the first half. The Orioles are 28-61, the worst record in the American League and second behind the Diamondbacks (26-66). "We've been going through a lot...

Mancini reaches finals of Home Run Derby (updated)

Mancini reaches finals of Home Run Derby (updated)
Trey Mancini didn't offer any predictions Sunday afternoon about how he'd fare in the Home Run Derby. He didn't share his expectations. The euphoria of his pinch-hit, two-run homer was still fresh. So was the disappointment of a 10th-inning loss. The derby? He was just happy to be invited. "I'm just going to try to enjoy it," he said on his postgame Zoom call, his last swing blending nicely into tonight's competition. "It's surreal. It's something that I haven't really thought too...

Quick recap on Colton Cowser selection

Quick recap on Colton Cowser selection
The major league draft is down to its final day and 10 picks. Emotions won't run quite as high with the final announcements. Fans don't typically vent over the 20th selection. The first? Yeah, it gets pretty loud. The Orioles passed on three high school shortstops Sunday who remained on the board as their turn came, the mocks blown up immediately with the Pirates taking Louisville catcher Henry Davis at No. 1. Executive vice president/general manager Mike Elias also shunned Vanderbilt pitcher...

As the Orioles proceeded through the second day of the draft, selecting a fourth outfielder among their first five picks, they also learned that their current center fielder has entered the starting lineup for the American League in Tuesday night's All-Star Game in Denver. Cedric Mullins has been chosen to replace the Angels' Mike Trout, who's on the 60-day injured list. Mullins is batting ninth, the opposite end from his usual spot with the Orioles. As the lone Orioles representative,...

Orioles select college outfielder Colton Cowser in first round
The 2021 First-Year Player Draft is defined by the number of high school shortstops residing near or at the top of boards across the industry. The Orioles helped to steer it in a different direction tonight. Executive vice president/general manager Mike Elias used the fifth-overall selection on Sam Houston State outfielder Colton Cowser. This is the second year in a row that the Orioles chose an outfielder with their first pick, following the University of Arkansas' Heston Kjerstad, who still...

Mancini comes off bench to tie game, Orioles lose in 10th
The All-Star break is a time for rest and reflection, and Orioles manager Brandon Hyde knows exactly why his club has the worst record in the American League. Precisely what he's going to think about before play resumes Friday night in Kansas City. "For me," he said this afternoon, "it just shows you how far away we are, pitching-wise." Spenser Watkins tried to narrow the gap a little, maybe present Hyde with another option and keep earning more chances. He held the White Sox to one run in...
