Orioles unable to carry two Rule 5 pitchers through season

Orioles unable to carry two Rule 5 pitchers through season
The rarity of breaking camp with two Rule 5 pitchers is followed by the rarity of keeping them through an entire season. The Orioles took a stab at it, needing right-handers Tyler Wells and Mac Sceroler to remain on the active roster for 90 days. Sceroler didn't make it. He was designated for assignment on Tuesday. Let me begin by pointing out that the reference order used to be Mac Sceroler and Tyler Wells based on their selections at the Winter Meetings, though the former had less...

Means won't return to Orioles until second half

Means won't return to Orioles until second half
John Means is playing catch down in Sarasota, Fla. and slowly building on his throwing progression, but Orioles manager Brandon Hyde doesn't anticipate having his ace in the rotation to close out the first half. Hyde said Means, on the injured list with a strained left shoulder, will start throwing side sessions when cleared to increase his activities. "I would expect him at some point right after the All-Star break," Hyde said during today's media Zoom call. Means can't be considered for...

Jannis makes major league debut in 13-0 loss (updated)

Jannis makes major league debut in 13-0 loss (updated)
The countdown to Mickey Jannis' major league debut began tonight in the top of the second inning. He began warming in the fourth after Dillon Tate sat down. He walked through the gate in the fifth and into a chapter of his professional life that didn't seem plausible. Jannis finally pitched in a major league game, his small but vocal cheering section unleashed in front of the press box. The run he allowed in the sixth seemed inconsequential based on the score and his journey. Then came four...

Could Orioles have two players at All-Star Game?

Could Orioles have two players at All-Star Game?
Phase 1 of the All-Star voting concludes this afternoon at 4 p.m., which leads into Phase 2 and eventually the big reveal. The smoke will be black and orange if Cedric Mullins is chosen. The Orioles aren't expected to have a starter unless it's due to an injury. However, Mullins would be a massive snub if he isn't a reserve for the American League. Heading into last night's game against the Astros, Mullins was slashing .310/.379/.538 with 18 doubles, three triples, 13 home runs and 12...

Jannis talks about making the majors at age 33

Jannis talks about making the majors at age 33
The latest reliever swap by the Orioles has put knuckleballer Mickey Jannis in the bullpen, his major league debut at age 33 perhaps coming later tonight against the Astros. The Orioles selected Jannis' contract yesterday from Triple-A Norfolk, with the news passed along by Tides manager Gary Kendall via a phone call. The team didn't play yesterday. Kendall wanted to tell Jannis in person, but he couldn't do it. "I don't think I could put into words what this means," Jannis said earlier...

Orioles and Astros lineups
Anthony Santander took early batting practice and is in tonight's lineup against the Astros to close out the homestand. Santander didn't play Monday and struck out last night as a pinch-hitter. He's dealing with a sore left ankle, but is in right field tonight. Ryan Mountcastle is the designated hitter. He's 14-for-33 (.424) with four home runs and eight RBIs in his last eight games and is batting .361/.378/.694 in 18 games this month. He's batting .365 (27-for-74) with two outs this...

López gets into seventh, but bloop single stings Orioles (updated)
The perfect game and no-hit drama dissipated tonight just two batters into the bottom of the first inning after Freddy Galvis slapped a single into left field to beat the shift. Rain wasn't in the forecast. Umpires checking for sticky substances already felt like old news. The Orioles moved on from their lopsided and waterlogged defeat. Each day presents a fresh start. A new opposing pitcher and the latest opportunity to begin spinning their season in the right direction. Astros veteran Zack...

Checking back on Orioles 2022 roster

Checking back on Orioles 2022 roster
Three years ago, the staff at Baseball America took a shot at projecting the Orioles lineup, rotation and closer for the 2022 season. Let's just say the publication didn't bat 1.000. OK, let's say more. It's virtually impossible to hit on any team because of the variables that blow up predictions. The lists ran in October, after the Orioles began dismantling the team over the summer. The teardown started with the trades of Manny Machado, Zack Britton, Jonathan Schoop, Brad Brach, Kevin...

Orioles DFA Mac Sceroler and select Mickey Jannis' contract
The Orioles have cut ties with Rule 5 pitcher Mac Sceroler. The club designated Sceroler for assignment this afternoon and selected the contract of knuckleballer Mickey Jannis from Triple-A Norfolk. Jannis is wearing No. 76, a first in team history, and waiting to make his major league debut. Sceroler, the nephew of former Orioles pitcher and current MASN analyst Ben McDonald, made five appearances and allowed 12 earned runs (15 total) and 15 hits in 7 2/3 innings. He walked seven batters,...

Orioles avoid no-hitter but not a 10-2 loss (updated)

Orioles avoid no-hitter but not a 10-2 loss (updated)
The only stickiness for Keegan Akin tonight was a third-inning jam. A worse mess for the Orioles was their inability to get a hit until the eighth inning. Three Astros pitchers beginning with Jake Odorizzi combined for only a walk and hit batter before Maikel Franco's two-run homer off reliever Brandon Bielak in the Orioles' 10-2 loss before an announced crowd of 7,414, a potential eighth no-hitter against them and second at Camden Yards sailing into the bullpen. Bielak nailed Austin Hays on...

Taking another look at Matt Harvey's situation with Orioles

Taking another look at Matt Harvey's situation with Orioles
If the Orioles stick with their five-man rotation through a grueling stretch that doesn't bring an off-day until July 1, Matt Harvey would take his next turn Friday night in Buffalo. He'll be opposed by Josh Allen. But seriously, Harvey is lined up to face the Blue Jays in the second game of the series while a segment of the fan base - impossible to measure because the loudest dissenters tend to post more regularly on social media - wonder why he's still in the rotation. Or the...

Valdez on injured list, Santander updates ankle and more
The Orioles have placed reliever César Valdez on the 10-day injured list with a strained muscle in his lower back and recalled reliever Travis Lakins Sr. from Triple-A Norfolk. Valdez lost his closer's job and is carrying a 5.74 ERA and 1.650 WHIP in 25 appearances and 26 2/3 innings. He surrendered two more runs yesterday in the eighth inning and has allowed six runs and 11 hits this month in only seven innings. The slump has been extensive, with Valdez registering a 1.42 ERA and 1.105...

Mullins moves to ninth in All-Star voting
As Cedric Mullins climbs up the hits chart in the majors, he also has risen to ninth among American League outfielders in the latest All-Star voting.

Mullins has collected 86 hits to lead the league, one ahead of Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. He's received 366,555 votes to move past Tampa Bay's Randy Arozarena, who trails with 358,742.

More from minors, Santander and Hays ailments, and Mancini
The Orioles are perfecting the technique of announcing their latest minor league promotions in huge waves. Not a splash or two. Shortstop Gunnar Henderson was included yesterday afternoon in a 10-player news drop following the Orioles' 7-4 loss to the Blue Jays. The biggest name of the batch. Henderson, a second-round pick in the 2019 draft, is making the jump from low Single-A Delmarva to high Single-A Aberdeen. In case you missed it, the rest reads as follows: * Outfielder Yusniel Diaz and...

Mancini homers twice, but Harvey can't finish fifth in 7-4 loss

Mancini homers twice, but Harvey can't finish fifth in 7-4 loss
Matt Harvey stood on the mound after the final out was recorded in the third inning, a frozen posture he's struck in previous starts while watching a fly ball land in the seats. Except this time he was pausing to congratulate Pat Valaika on a nice defensive play, with the infielder ranging beyond second base to make the backhand stop and long throw. The day was progressing more favorably for Harvey, but the wall that keeps leaving marks appeared in the fifth. He'd be stopped again. He'd make...

Franco on getting hit: "It shouldn't be like that"

Franco on getting hit: "It shouldn't be like that"
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said today that he hasn't spoken or reached out to Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo since yesterday's heated exchange on the field after Alek Manoah appeared to be aiming at third baseman Maikel Franco in the fourth inning and benches and bullpens emptied. Manoah nailed Franco on the shoulder with a 93.8 mph sinker after surrendering back-to-back home runs to Ryan Mountcastle and DJ Stewart in the fourth inning. The Orioles hit six home runs on the day. Franco...

Since the four unearned runs on May 7, Harvey has been charged with 36 earned on 45 hits in 23 innings. None of his last eight starts have gone past 4 2/3 innings.
