Means to IL with left shoulder strain (plus lineups)

Means to IL with left shoulder strain (plus lineups)
Orioles pitcher John Means has been placed on the 10-day injured list this morning with a left shoulder strain and rookie left-hander Zac Lowther replaces him on the active roster. Lowther has been recalled from Triple-A Norfolk and provides a fresh arm in the bullpen for today's series finale versus the Indians. Means exited yesterday's game after facing five batters in the first inning. He was scheduled to undergo an MRI this morning after the injury was termed "shoulder fatigue." The...

Orioles' winning streak ends after Means exits (updated)

Orioles' winning streak ends after Means exits (updated)
The careful handling of Orioles left-hander John Means couldn't prevent him from leaving today's game after facing only five batters. Calling on the bullpen early wasn't going to improve the Orioles' chances of building on their winning streak and maintaining a more positive frame of mind. The momentum folded with an ace no longer showing. Means might be headed to the injured list with left shoulder fatigue, confirmation of the injury coming as the Indians were marching toward a 10-4...

Mancini on Mountcastle: "He's got all the talent in the world"

Mancini on Mountcastle: "He's got all the talent in the world"
The parallels and comparisons aren't lost on Orioles first baseman Trey Mancini. What Ryan Mountcastle endured earlier this season, labeled as a dreaded sophomore slump whose existence isn't mythical in baseball circles, felt eerily familiar. Mancini matched his home run total of 24 following his 2017 breakout season, when he ranked third in American League Rookie of the Year voting. But that's where the similarities reached a dead end. The batting average fell from .293 to .242, the OPS...

Means leaves game with apparent injury (updated)

Means leaves game with apparent injury (updated)
What began as a routine mound visit this afternoon from pitching coach Chris Holt in the first inning turned into a situation that's much more alarming to the Orioles. Left-hander John Means might be hurt. Means walked off the field with two outs, the Orioles behind 2-0 and Indians rookie Owen Miller coming to the plate. Holt signaled for manager Brandon Hyde and head athletic trainer Brian Ebel. A brief exchange was followed by Means and Ebel walking to the clubhouse and former Indians...

Hyde on clubhouse, Galvis at cleanup, Mountcastle and more
The Orioles have followed a 14-game losing streak with three consecutive wins and manager Brandon Hyde can see and hear the changes in the clubhouse. Though he's also quick to point out that players never became so despondent that it zapped their energy and lowered their effort each night. "I think it's just natural for everybody to be a little looser, and it's a little lighter in there when you're winning, and that's just human nature," Hyde said today on his Zoom call. "But even in...

Orioles and Indians lineups

Orioles and Indians lineups
The Orioles will try to extend their winning streak to a season-long four games tonight with Freddy Galvis remaining the cleanup hitter between Anthony Santander and Ryan Mountcastle. Mountcastle has hit four home runs in his last 10 games, with seven extra-base hits during that span. He's 11-for-35 (.314) with two doubles, a triple and 11 RBI in those 10 games. Santander has reached base in 13 of 14 games since coming off the injured list and is batting .321 (17-for-53) during that stretch...

Means on mound as Orioles try to move win streak to four games

Means on mound as Orioles try to move win streak to four games
John Means is bringing a 2.05 ERA into this afternoon's start against the Indians and he's technically in a slump. This is how good he's been since September 2020. The bar has been raised to such heights that a bump is noticeable. Means had a 1.21 ERA after following up his May 5 no-hitter with six scoreless innings against the Mets at Citi Field. He's allowed nine runs and 16 hits in his last three starts over 18 1/3 innings. Opponents have hit six home runs, giving him 11 to tie Dean...

Akin impresses, Mountcastle mashes in O's win (updated)

Akin impresses, Mountcastle mashes in O's win (updated)
The juggling act in the Orioles rotation has bounced Keegan Akin out of the majors, landed him in the bullpen and got him back into a starting role. He seems to be handling it with care. Akin twirled five scoreless innings tonight against the Indians, his only issue an opponent that also wasn't permitting any runs. Hunter Harvey replaced him in the sixth and was victimized by Harold Ramírez's RBI triple, but Ryan Mountcastle hit a two-run homer off Bryan Shaw in the seventh and the Orioles...

Notes on Armstrong, Harvey, Hays and more

Notes on Armstrong, Harvey, Hays and more
Orioles reliever Shawn Armstrong began the 2021 season on the paternity list, was transferred to the injured list in a procedural move caused by the intake process and spent two months unable to regain his effectiveness out of the bullpen. The next move for Armstrong could be joining a new organization. The Orioles designated Armstrong for assignment this afternoon while also recalling reliever Travis Lakins Sr. from Triple-A Norfolk, and claiming infielder Domingo Leyba on waivers from the...

Because You Asked - The Last Knight

Because You Asked - The Last Knight
What about this and what about that? Why is this taking so long, and will that ever happen? And where's Chris Davis? Oh, the questions never stop, which is why mailbags exists. They're also a popular filler for sportswriters - our version of breadcrumbs. Some might call it lazy. Those accusers are driven to another county and pushed out the door. And I'll go the extra mile to find a new movie sequel title. You ask 'em and I answer 'em, and then someone else asks the exact same thing and I...

Opener strategy works as Orioles win again 6-3 (updated)

Opener strategy works as Orioles win again 6-3 (updated)
Do two wins in a row constitute a streak? The debate rages on, but does so without any interest from the Orioles. They just want to keep the music blaring inside the clubhouse. Form the handshake line again. Feel a little better about themselves. Make the memories of the 14 losses in a row begin to fade like a tired starter. The Orioles didn't have one of those tonight. Matt Harvey provided more length than anticipated in his one-time role of opener, Rule 5 pick Tyler Wells followed with three...

Konner Wade grateful for second chance in Orioles system

Konner Wade grateful for second chance in Orioles system
No matter how much the surroundings and routine changed in spring training with baseball still working under COVID-related protocols, Konner Wade was overcome by a familiar feeling at Twin Lakes Park. Wade had walked those hallways before, dressed inside that clubhouse. And been told that the organization had no room for him. Four months after trading for him. There are aspects of his current situation that he hopes won't air as a rerun. Wade has been one of Triple-A Norfolk's best pitchers...

Notes on Lowther, the Harveys, Hays and Mullins
Pitching prospect Zac Lowther is going to be used tonight following starter Matt Harvey. Could be right away, could be later in the game. But he's getting the ball for the third time in the majors. The Orioles recalled Lowther this afternoon from Triple-A Norfolk, which was in Durham. "I'm not exactly sure when I'm going to use him. I'm going to kind of see how the game is playing out," manager Brandon Hyde said in his Zoom call with the media. "Harvey's excited about kind of opening...

A few leftovers from last night's streak-breaking win

A few leftovers from last night's streak-breaking win
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde exhaled last night, wrestled with the urge to be annoyed by the late-inning walks and tightrope acts and made himself enjoy the moment. He initially felt more relief than actual joy that a 14-game losing streak was over. But he made certain to soak in the reactions of his players. The laughter and high-fives, how they cranked up the music inside the clubhouse. A new month brought out emotions that had been packed away. The game was fun again. "Coming through the...

Orioles end losing streak at 14 games with 7-4 win (updated)
The count to 1988 can stop. No need to turn back the clock after the Orioles turned away the Twins. Local product Bruce Zimmermann played the role tonight of rookie stopper, Cedric Mullins did a little bit of everything, including twice scoring on Trey Mancini singles, and the Orioles snapped a 14-game losing streak with a 7-4 victory before an announced crowd of 5,337 at Camden Yards. Pedro Severino hit his second home run of the season and the Orioles won for the third time in 24 games. They...

Hyde: "Whether we're winning or losing, it consumes me"

Hyde: "Whether we're winning or losing, it consumes me"
Manager Brandon Hyde said reliever Hunter Harvey will throw one-plus or two full innings tonight with Triple-A Norfolk, which is playing in Durham, and the Orioles will decide whether he's ready to be reinstated from the 60-day injured list. "We're going to see how that goes," Hyde said on his Zoom call, "and reevaluate after his outing tonight." Harvey is making his fourth appearance on his rehab assignment. He's allowed three earned runs (five total) and eight hits in 4 2/3 innings....
