Orioles claim Shaun Anderson off waivers (plus lineups)

Orioles claim Shaun Anderson off waivers (plus lineups)
The roster moves keep coming for the Orioles. They've barely taken a breath today. Pitcher Shaun Anderson was claimed off waivers from the Rangers and optioned to Triple-A Norfolk. Pitcher Konner Wade was designated for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster. Also, Stevie Wilkerson cleared waivers and accepted an outright assignment to Norfolk. Anderson, 26, was a third-round draft pick of the Red Sox in 2016 out of the University of Florida. He pitched for the Giants in 2019-20 and the...

Orioles acquire Kelvin Gutierrez from Royals

Orioles acquire Kelvin Gutierrez from Royals
The Orioles made another roster move this morning, West Coast time, to create room on their 40-man roster and improve the infield depth at the upper level of the farm system. Infielder Kelvin Gutierrez has been acquired from the Royals for cash considerations and optioned to Triple-A Norfolk. To accommodate him on the 40-man, reliever Travis Lakins Sr. has been transferred to the 60-day injured list with right elbow pain. The Orioles haven't offered a specific diagnosis for Lakins, but manager...

Jahmai Jones: "I'm definitely happy to have a fan base in Baltimore"

Jahmai Jones: "I'm definitely happy to have a fan base in Baltimore"
The Orioles are continuing their series against the Angels in Anaheim tonight with former teammate Alex Cobb providing the opposition. A face-to-faces reminder of the Feb. 2 trade that provided some salary relief, though the Orioles included $10 million in the deal, and shaved years of experience off the rotation. Cobb had his season interrupted by a recurrence of the blister issues that dogged him with the Orioles. He's made 11 starts and posted a 5.09 ERA and 1.302 WHIP, averaging a...

Harvey on injured list (and lineups)

Harvey on injured list (and lineups)
The Orioles placed reliever Hunter Harvey on the 10-day injured list this afternoon with a strained right lat and recalled left-hander Zac Lowther from Triple-A Norfok. Manager Brandon Hyde said Harvey will miss a month of the season. Harvey had to stop warming Wednesday night in Houston due to the discomfort and he underwent tests that revealed the injury. He began the season on the IL with a strained oblique. In nine games, Harvey has posted a 4.15 ERA and 1.269 WHIP in 8 2/3 innings. Lowther...

Mountcastle chosen AL Rookie of the Month (and other notes)

Mountcastle chosen AL Rookie of the Month (and other notes)
A torrid month of June for the Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle came with its own reward. Mountcastle was chosen as the American League's Rookie of the Month, with the announcement made earlier today on MLB Network. He seemed like an obvious choice, but so did Cedric Mullins for the All-Star Game's starting lineup. Mountcastle wasn't snubbed. He batted .327/.382/.634 (33-for-101) with four doubles, nine home runs, 26 RBIs and 17 runs scored in 26 games. The outfielder/first baseman led the league...

Mullins denied starting spot in All-Star Game (updated)

Mullins denied starting spot in All-Star Game (updated)
The two phases of fan voting for the July 13 All-Star Game are done and the starters revealed. Where does this leave Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins? On the outside for now, waiting to find out whether he's a reserve for the American League. Mullins didn't finish in the top three voting among outfielders. The Angels' Mike Trout is first, followed by the Yankees' Aaron Judge and the Blue Jays' Teoscar Hernández. The Twins' Byron Buxton was fourth and the Astros' Michael Brantley was...

Taking another dive into the Orioles bullpen

Taking another dive into the Orioles bullpen
The Orioles never tried to promote the idea that their roster would be set for the majority of the 2021 season. That the lineup, rotation and bullpen would largely be untouched. They knew that a return to a full schedule and the realities of life in a rebuild would cause a substantial amount of personnel commotion. Reliever Spenser Watkins is waiting to become the 45th player used as the Orioles venture into the mathematical second half. That is, if he stays long enough to do it. The shuttle is...

Four-run first inning and leak-proof bullpen lead to series sweep

Four-run first inning and leak-proof bullpen lead to series sweep
Cedric Mullins is expected to represent the Orioles at the All-Star Game, finding out Sunday night whether he made it as a starter. Trey Mancini already confirmed his participation in the Home Run Derby. They can hang out in Denver. Ryan Mountcastle won't be tagging along, but he's distracted with strengthening his candidacy for American League Rookie of the Month. With more prestigious hardware in his sights. Astros starter Luis Garcia hung a slider tonight with two outs in the top of the...

More on Lakins' elbow and Watkins' arrival in majors

More on Lakins' elbow and Watkins' arrival in majors
Orioles pitcher Travis Lakins Sr. isn't done undergoing tests on his right elbow. Manager Brandon Hyde said today on his Zoom call that Lakins will have the elbow checked again later this week after the team arrives in California to finish its road trip against the Angels. The Orioles are off Thursday. No matter the result, Lakins is expected to be unavailable for a significant stretch. "Right now we're still calling it an elbow strain, but they're going to do some further tests on it,"...

The Orioles placed pitcher Travis Lakins Sr. on the 10-day injured list today with right elbow pain, selected the contract of pitcher Spenser Watkins from Triple-A Norfolk and recalled reliever Isaac Mattson. Watkins and Mattson were on the taxi squad. Left-hander Alexander Wells was optioned to the Tides after earning his first major league win last night. The Orioles also declared infielder Stevie Wilkerson has been designated for assignment to create room for Watkins on the 40-man...

Sceroler "thankful for this whole entire situation"

Sceroler "thankful for this whole entire situation"
The Tuesday drive from Mac Sceroler's home in Louisiana to Chattanooga, Tenn., didn't show it on any map, but he traveled down a steep hill to get there. The peak of it actually back in Baltimore. The descent from the majors to Double-A baseball is common with Rule 5 selections. Sceroler sensed that it might be coming. Braced for it and understanding of the reasons. Two months spent on the injured list and rehabbing his right shoulder tore through whatever odds of success existed with...

Lakins leaves with injury, Orioles erupt late in 13-3 win (updated)

Lakins leaves with injury, Orioles erupt late in 13-3 win (updated)
A bullpen game to compensate for optioning a starter to the minors is a shakier proposition when six relievers are used the previous night. At least the Orioles planned on it tonight. Well, part of it. The Astros unexpectedly tapped into their bullpen in the second inning to replace injured starter José Urquidy. Travis Lakins Sr. exited with an injury after loading the bases with two outs in the bottom of the second. There are bullpen games and then there are emergency situations, mad...

Where will trade winds blow next month?

Where will trade winds blow next month?
The draft and All-Star break are approaching in Major League Baseball, running together like colors in the wash. They also move the sport closer to the trade deadline and stacking of chips. The Orioles have taken some hits, their pile reduced, but there's still the potential for some movement. Freddy Galvis isn't going anywhere after straining his right quadriceps muscle Saturday afternoon in Buffalo. Manager Brandon Hyde described it as a "Grade 1-plus" and projected a one- to two-month...

Orioles and Astros lineups (with more notes)
The latest Orioles lineup combination tonight has Ryan McKenna batting fifth and playing left field, with Austin Hays in right field and Anthony Santander serving as the designated hitter. Domingo Leyba is playing second base and Maikel Franco returns to the lineup at third. Austin Wynns is catching. Meanwhile, with a marathon win last night, the Orioles summoned right-hander Conner Greene from Triple-A Norfolk and put him on the taxi squad. A fresh arm is close. Greene would become the 11th...

Lakins making rare start tonight in Houston

Lakins making rare start tonight in Houston
The Orioles have decided on Travis Lakins Sr. as tonight's starter against the Astros in Houston. The mystery ended around noon with the team announcing it. Lakins, celebrating his 27th birthday, is making his fourth major league start and first since Sept. 26, 2019 with the Red Sox. None of his starts have lasted more than two innings and he worked a career-high four in relief Thursday in Buffalo. Pretty much indicates an opener, with Lakins perhaps followed by rookie left-hander Alexander...

Orioles issue walks and score late runs in 9-7 win (updated)

Orioles issue walks and score late runs in 9-7 win (updated)
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde spun his lineup again tonight in an attempt to find the right combination. A group that can make plays in the field and generate runs. Perhaps run with an opportunity. Locating strike-throwers also is on the agenda. The shuffling in the rotation is happening now in the infield with the arrivals of Domingo Leyba and Ramón Urías. They started again tonight, with Urías at short and Leyba switching from second base to third base. Slumps and health factor into...

Tough breaks for Martin keeping him away from shortstop

Tough breaks for Martin keeping him away from shortstop
The injury to shortstop Freddy Galvis, a strained quadriceps muscle in his right leg perhaps keeping him out of the lineup for the next two months, opened another door that Richie Martin couldn't walk through. Martin missed the 2020 season with a fractured right wrist, an injury sustained while playing in an intrasquad game at summer training camp at Camden Yards. Meanwhile, shortstop José Iglesias was in and out of the lineup because of an aching left quadriceps. Surgery to remove a broken...

Domingo Leyba is playing third base tonight as the Orioles open a three-game series in Houston. Maikel Franco and Anthony Santander are on the bench. Austin Hays is in right field and batting second, Ryan McKenna is in left and Ramón Urías is playing shortstop. Pat Valaika gets the start at second base. Urías has a seven-game hitting streak that was interrupted by his return to Triple-A Norfolk. He's 8-for-16 with a double, home run and six RBIs during the streak. Leyba went 0-for-4...

The waiting for Jahmai Jones is the hardest part

The waiting for Jahmai Jones is the hardest part
The calls for Jahmai Jones grew louder over the weekend after Freddy Galvis limped off the field Saturday afternoon, the severity of his quadriceps injury written on his face. The pain and anguish, the attempts to fight back tears as he rode a cart to the auxiliary tent and later was placed in a vehicle - needing assistance just to sit down - for the ride to a nearby hospital. Fans want Jones in the majors and they want him now. Armchair general managers spew insults from their foaming...
