Notes on Cobb's return, rest of rotation and more (game postponed)

Notes on Cobb's return, rest of rotation and more (game postponed)
Alex Cobb is rejoining the active roster and the rotation. Manager Brandon Hyde said Cobb is expected to start Friday night against the Yankees "if everything works out protocol-wise." The veteran right-hander has been on the injured list, with the assumption that it's been related to COVID-19. "He's been throwing," Hyde said in his Zoom conference call, "so he'll be ready to go." Dean Kremer will make his second major league start on Saturday afternoon and left-hander John Means is...

Orioles lineup vs. Yankees
Pat Valaika is getting another start at first base as the Orioles begin an important four-game series tonight at Yankee Stadium. Renato Núñez is the designated hitter. José Iglesias is starting at shortstop again rather than being used as the DH to compensate for a sore left quadriceps muscle. Ryan Mountcastle is the cleanup hitter behind DJ Stewart. Hanser Alberto moves down to eighth in the order. The Orioles trail the Yankees by 1 1/2 games for the final playoff spot in the American...

Improved depth providing Orioles with playoff push

Improved depth providing Orioles with playoff push
If Austin Hays is able to come off the injured list next week, as he's projecting, manager Brandon Hyde will be tasked with figuring out how to occupy center field. Decisions must be made regarding Hays and Cedric Mullins, who collected two more hits last night and has been an outstanding replacement. Whether or not Hays is back in center field on a full-time basis, he's going to be plopped in the middle of a pennant race. He's been watching from the alternate camp site in Bowie, where he's...

Harvey surrenders late home run in 7-6 loss (updated)

Harvey surrenders late home run in 7-6 loss (updated)
Cedric Mullins is starting in center field because Austin Hays has a fractured rib. He led off tonight's game with a single and scored the first run. DJ Stewart is playing right field because Anthony Santander has a strained oblique. He singled in the first inning to move Renato Núñez to third base. Ryan Mountcastle is starting in left field because the Orioles no longer had any reason to hold back one of their top prospects. His single in the first scored Núñez to build on an...

Hyde: "Our focus is on us"

Hyde: "Our focus is on us"
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde is fielding playoff questions again. His club is a half-game behind the Yankees for the last spot and a game behind the Astros. Six wins in the last eight. Again an interesting national story. Is there scoreboard-watching among the players and staff? Or at least the 2020 version of it? "I think we're focused on the Orioles right now and we need to win as many games as possible," Hyde said this afternoon in his Zoom conference call. "I'd be lying to say I...

Orioles lineup vs. Mets

Orioles lineup vs. Mets
The Orioles will try to extend their winning streak to five games tonight with Pat Valaika at first base and Chris Davis still on the bench. Valaika is celebrating his 28th birthday today. He's posted a .429 average (12-for-28) in his last nine games. Cedric Mullins moves up to the leadoff spot and José Iglesias is batting second again, as he did last night while notching his ninth multi-hit game in the last 12. DJ Stewart, with four home runs in the last three games, is the cleanup...

What else is going on with Orioles besides pennant race?

What else is going on with Orioles besides pennant race?
A season that was in danger of stalling before it could move forward, and with its COVID postponements, unique doubleheaders and occasional designations of home teams as visitors, is down to the final 19 games for the Orioles. The odds of getting this far didn't appear promising, but it's happened. The Orioles are in the midst of their penultimate road trip, with the last homestand beginning next week. And they remain in playoff contention, defying another set of odds. Tabbed as the worst...

Banged-up Orioles get healthier in standings with 11-2 win (updated)

Banged-up Orioles get healthier in standings with 11-2 win (updated)
Brandon Hyde isn't being coy or playing mind games with the opposition before his team hits the field for the actual competition. The second-year Orioles manager would like to post his lineup early - or at a reasonable hour. However, he has to wait until making the rounds in the clubhouse and during batting practice. Checking whether his day-to-day guys are full-go at night. Renato Núñez didn't play in the last two games due to a sore hamstring. Hyde was able to write in his name as the...

Orioles lineup, Hyde on how he'll use Davis plus other notes
Chris Davis is back on the Orioles' active roster, but he isn't in their lineup for tonight's game against the Mets at Citi Field. Pat Valaika is playing first base and Renato Núnez is the designated hitter. Núñez has been receiving treatment for a sore hamstring and missed the last two games. José Iglesias moves up to second in the order after batting third this season. Davis hasn't played since Aug. 19 and has two hits in his last 23 at-bats. "Chris, the last few days, has...

Orioles activate Chris Davis from injured list

Orioles activate Chris Davis from injured list
The Orioles have reinstated first baseman Chris Davis from the 10-day injured list and designated utility player Dilson Herrera for assignment. Davis traveled with the team to New York yesterday after working out again at the alternate camp site in Bowie. He played in a simulated game on Saturday to test his injured knee. The Orioles placed Davis on the 10-day injured list on Aug. 21 with left knee patellar tendinitis. He was slashing .122/.173/.184 with three doubles, three walks and 16...

Orioles activate Fulmer and option Kline
The Orioles have made a late roster move tonight, again impacting their bullpen. Carson Fulmer has been activated after completing the intake process. Branden Kline was optioned to the alternate camp site in Bowie as the corresponding roster move. Fulmer has joined the team in New York, where a two-game series against the Mets begins Tuesday night. The Orioles also are playing four games against the Yankees. Executive vice president/general manager Mike Elias claimed Fulmer, 26, on waivers from...

Injury updates on Chris Davis and Austin Hays

Injury updates on Chris Davis and Austin Hays
The Orioles begin a six-game stay in New York tonight with their series opener against the Mets. They boarded a train yesterday with a taxi squad and at least one injured player. Chris Davis is on the trip and could be activated before the Orioles return to Baltimore and start their final homestand of the 2020 season. They'll have the option to do so while he's staying with the team. Davis has been working out at the alternate camp site in Bowie for more than a week, contradicting a recent...

Because You Asked - Risk Addiction

Because You Asked - Risk Addiction
A day without baseball is like a day without sunshine. Except the forecast is calling for it today in Baltimore. Lots of it. A day without sunscreen could lead to a nasty burn. There's always the risk of a nasty burn when I sort through my mailbag. And the sarcasm doesn't require extra postage. You know the drill. You keep asking the same stuff and I keep answering it. Or I just make it up as I go along. I don't like stale bread - unless it's used for my mother's homemade stuffing - or...

Kremer crushes major league debut and O's win series (updated)

Kremer crushes major league debut and O's win series (updated)
Seven Orioles bolted out of the dugout for the start of today's series finale against the Yankees, but Bryan Holaday stayed back and waited for the kid he was going to catch. Holaday stood on the top step, glancing over his shoulder until it was time. And then another piece of the Orioles' future emerged. In the present. With longish hair and flowing confidence. Dean Kremer had finally come out, under a bright blue sky, with Holaday jogging behind him. They separated at the appropriate point,...

Ryan Mountcastle is elevated to the cleanup spot this afternoon as Orioles manager Brandon Hyde makes more adjustments to a lineup that's missing key players to injuries. Renato Núñez and Cedric Mullins remain out of the lineup, with Pat Valaika playing first base today and Mason Williams getting another start in center field. Pedro Severino is the designated hitter and Bryan Holaday is behind the plate. Shortstop José Iglesias is on the bench with a sore quadriceps muscle. His...

Kremer making major league debut today vs. Yankees
Dean Kremer has been recalled from the alternate camp site in Bowie and is making his major league debut this afternoon in the series finale against the Yankees at Camden Yards. The corresponding roster move was made last night with David Hess optioned to the secondary site. Kremer, who's wearing No. 64, came to the Orioles in the Manny Machado trade with the Dodgers. He led the minors in strikeouts in 2018 with 178 in 131 1/3 innings. Kremer was the first Israeli citizen drafted by a major...

Ryan Ripken on reliving 2,131

Ryan Ripken on reliving 2,131
Ryan Ripken was 2 years old when his father stepped out of the dugout again, received an encouraging shove in the back and jogged around the warning track. When the ovation at Camden Yards lasted more than 22 minutes and the entire baseball word hit the pause button to watch him. Ripken spent much of that evening being held by his mother, Kelly, after joining his sister, Rachel, in throwing out the ceremonial first pitch from the first row of seats. Ryan used his left hand. We wouldn't find...

Akin shines and Stewart busts out of slump in 6-1 win (updated)

Akin shines and Stewart busts out of slump in 6-1 win (updated)
Keegan Akin didn't know the exact date when the Orioles intended to set him free from the alternate camp site and promote him to the majors. He had no idea that his debut in the rotation would happen in Buffalo and in the thick of the trade deadline. And he couldn't anticipate that he'd get into a pitchers' duel this month with Gerrit Cole. One is a rookie making his second start. The other is making $324 million. Akin didn't allow a run tonight through the first three innings. Cole struck...

Santander's season ending due to oblique strain (updated)

Santander's season ending due to oblique strain (updated)
Anthony Santander's season appears to be over after 37 games. A late arrival to summer training camp after testing positive for COVID-19, Santander was enjoying a breakout season until straining an oblique muscle yesterday in the first game of a doubleheader against the Yankees. He's on the injured list, with the Orioles selecting Mason Williams' contract from the alternate camp site in Bowie. Pitcher David Hess apparently has been recalled from the secondary camp. The Orioles still haven't...

Williams and Hess rejoin Orioles

Williams and Hess rejoin Orioles
The Orioles have summoned outfielder Mason Williams and pitcher David Hess from the alternate camp site in Bowie. Williams can only return if he's replacing an injured player, making his arrival likely tied to outfielder Anthony Santander, who left the early game of yesterday's doubleheader with a sore oblique. Santander was undergoing tests earlier today. The 40-man roster had two openings, so no corresponding move would be necessary to accommodate Williams. The Orioles outrighted Williams...
