Orioles injuries mounting on 40-man roster

Orioles injuries mounting on 40-man roster
The Orioles are carrying a full 40-man roster and counting the number of injured players. Increases that are painful on a number of fronts. Relievers Hunter Harvey, Dillon Tate and Rule 5 pick Mac Sceroler are in various stages of recovery from oblique, hamstring and shoulder ailments, respectively. Harvey is on the 60-day injured list and doesn't count against the 40-man, but he also hasn't been an option for a team that's working up a sweat trying to keep its bullpen fresh. First baseman...

Elias updates Davis, Martin, Harvey and Kjerstad

Elias updates Davis, Martin, Harvey and Kjerstad
A knee injury limited Chris Davis to 16 games last summer. Today's hip surgery prevents him from joining the active roster and playing in 2021. The countdown to the end of Davis' franchise-record $161 million contract is accelerating, though the deal includes deferred payments through 2037. Executive vice president/general manager Mike Elias provided the update this afternoon in a Zoom call, the first of any substance since Davis was shut down following the exhibition opener. Two at-bats and...

Chris Davis undergoes hip surgery (plus Orioles and Rays lineups)

Chris Davis undergoes hip surgery (plus Orioles and Rays lineups)
Orioles first baseman Chris Davis won't play in 2021 after undergoing arthroscopic surgery today in Dallas to repair the labrum in his left hip. Davis received two at-bats in the first exhibition game and didn't play again. The Orioles anticipate that he's going to be full-go for 2022 spring training, the final year of his franchise-record seven-year, $161 million contract. Davis tried to rehab the injury back home and finally decided on the surgery, according to Orioles executive vice...

Orioles pitching surrenders five homers in 13-6 loss (updated)

Orioles pitching surrenders five homers in 13-6 loss (updated)
Matt Harvey stood with his back turned to home plate and his right hand on his hip tonight as Austin Meadows' ball sailed over the center field fence for the second three-run homer of the second inning. The second-shortest start of his major league career was happening before his eyes. He had to look. Though perhaps in disbelief. A bloop single by Brandon Lowe with two outs brought manager Brandon Hyde out of the dugout. The Rays were dinking Harvey to death, too, but it didn't hurt as much...

More on decision to DFA Rio Ruiz

More on decision to DFA Rio Ruiz
The latest Orioles transaction this month unfolded yesterday with Rio Ruiz taken off the 40-man roster and Stevie Wilkerson returning to the majors, again transforming a minor league contract into an opportunity. The May movement began on the third with reliever Isaac Mattson recalled from the alternate camp site in Bowie and left-hander Bruce Zimmermann optioned in an exchange of rookies. Mattson was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk five days later, with left-hander Zac Lowther recalled from the...

Hyde and Wilkerson talk about today's roster move

Hyde and Wilkerson talk about today's roster move
The removal of infielder Rio Ruiz from the active and 40-man rosters, described today by Orioles manager Brandon Hyde as "extremely difficult," presents an opportunity for Stevie Wilkerson to get regular at-bats at second base. Wilkerson's versatility enables the Orioles to plug him into a variety of positions, but he's likely to get the bulk of the starts at second depending on matchups and his production. Pat Valaika is the other option. "Both of those guys can play different spots also,...

Orioles DFA Rio Ruiz and promote Stevie Wilkerson (updated)

Orioles DFA Rio Ruiz and promote Stevie Wilkerson (updated)
The Orioles made another adjustment to their infield this afternoon, designating Rio Ruiz for assignment and selecting Stevie Wilkerson's contract from Triple-A Norfolk. Wilkerson returns to the majors for the first time since fracturing his left ring finger in a July exhibition game in Philadelphia. He was batting .357/.438/.476 (15-for-42) with two doubles and a home run in 12 games with the Tides. Ruiz, claimed off waivers from the Braves at the 2018 Winter Meetings, was 15-for-90 (.167)...

Updating Orioles rotation for Rays series

Updating Orioles rotation for Rays series
The Orioles are flip-flopping their top two starters entering their series against the Rays that begins tonight at Camden Yards. As expected, Matt Harvey is starting the opener on an extra day of rest due to yesterday's vacancy in the schedule. Left-hander John Means takes the mound Wednesday with seven days separating his outings. Rookie Dean Kremer closes out the series Thursday afternoon before the Orioles head to D.C. The Rays are starting right-hander Luis Patiño tonight. Manager...

Diaz going on injured list, Santander completes assignment

Diaz going on injured list, Santander completes assignment
No longer confident that Yusniel Diaz is nearing a return to the Triple-A Norfolk lineup, the Orioles have decided to place him on the minor league injured list. Diaz hasn't played since exiting a May 9 game in Jacksonville following an RBI double in the ninth inning. He strained his right hip/quadriceps muscle and needed assistance leaving the field. The No. 7 prospect in the organization according to Baseball America and No. 8 per MLBPipeline.com, Diaz is 5-for-25 with a double, home run and...

Bullpen management made easier yesterday

Bullpen management made easier yesterday
A bullpen that experienced more hiccups over the weekend wasn't going to choke away a lead yesterday and subject the Orioles to a sweep. The use of rookie Bruce Zimmermann in a bulk role was rewarded in a big way with 5 2/3 sparkling innings. He was the first in a succession of southpaws, the baton passed to left hands. Manager Brandon Hyde knows who's available for every game, though he won't necessarily share it with the public. He tries to piece together nine innings when starters fail...

Zimmermann big in bulk role and Orioles win 10-6 (updated)

Zimmermann big in bulk role and Orioles win 10-6 (updated)
The sound of the first part of the plan backfiring was almost as loud as the contact made by the Yankees again this afternoon. Adam Plutko lasted one turbulent inning as the opener after the Yankees loaded the bases with no outs for the second time in less than 24 hours. Gary Sánchez and Clint Frazier hit back-to-back home runs. Bruce Zimmermann warmed in the bullpen. Assistant pitching coach Darren Holmes visited the mound. There wouldn't be a clean handoff of the baton. It wouldn't...

More on Orioles' pitching plans

More on Orioles' pitching plans
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said today that the composition of the Yankees lineup in the series finale prompted the decision to start right-hander Adam Plutko. Left-hander Bruce Zimmermann was recalled today and could cover innings. "Just because they're so right-handed," Hyde said in his Zoom call. "We're going to try to piece this one together today. Plutko's obviously got a lot of starting experience and the first right guys in their batting order are right-handed. So we'll see how...

Plutko starting and Zimmermann recalled

Plutko starting and Zimmermann recalled
The Orioles are going with a bullpen game this afternoon to close out their series against the Yankees at Camden Yards. Adam Plutko is getting the start after making 15 relief appearances and compiling a 1.27 ERA and 1.031 WHIP in 21 1/3 innings. He's surrendered only one home run. Purchased from the Indians on March 27, Plutko hasn't started since Aug. 21, 2020. His longest outing with the Orioles was three scoreless innings on April 6 versus the Yankees in the Bronx. The 39 pitches also...

Dorrian doing good work in Double-A

Dorrian doing good work in Double-A
I just made another check of a few Orioles prospect lists and can't find any mention of Patrick Dorrian. Not a trace. The casual fan might ask, "Who's Patrick Dorrian?" He's the Double-A Bowie infielder who was the player to be named later in the May 2019 Yefry Ramirez trade with the Pirates. The former Braves 12th round pick in 2014 out of Kingston High School who was released two months later and signed by the Pirates four years later. Dorrian changed his mind about professional...

López labors for two innings in 8-2 loss (updated)

López labors for two innings in 8-2 loss (updated)
Getting ahead in the count didn't work for Jorge López. Falling behind didn't work, either. The first inning had been the kindest for López among his seven starts, with no runs allowed and only five baserunners. But he was 0-2 tonight on DJ LeMahieu and Luke Voit, and issued a walk and surrendered a hit. He walked Aaron Judge with the count 3-1 to load the bases with no outs. The Yankees siphoned 39 pitches out of López and scored three runs, Judge hit his prerequisite homer in the...

Updates on Sunday starter, Means, Tate and more
The Orioles are waiting to announce Sunday afternoon's starter, whether it's a reliever coming out of their bullpen or perhaps a pitcher down at Triple-A Norfolk. They'll offer confirmation after tonight's game. Manager Brandon Hyde said there probably will be a roster move later tonight. They could recall, for example, left-hander Bruce Zimmermann and return him to the rotation. Zimmermann hasn't pitched since working three innings for the Tides on May 8 and allowing a two-run homer to...

Orioles lineup vs. Yankees
The Orioles have both catchers in tonight's lineup as the series continues against the Yankees at Camden Yards. Pedro Severino is the designated hitter and Chance Sisco is behind the plate. Rio Ruiz is the third baseman instead of Maikel Franco, who's in a 4-for-52 slump. DJ Stewart is in right field and batting cleanup. Pat Valaika is the second baseman. Freddy Galvis moves down to fifth in the order after batting fourth last night for the first time in his career. Fifteen of Trey Mancini's...

Yankees power past Orioles 5-4 (updated)

Yankees power past Orioles 5-4 (updated)
Dean Kremer knows the Yankees almost as well as his own family. He must feel as though he's been in quarantine with them. Kremer made his 11th career start tonight and his fifth versus the Yankees, but the lineup wasn't a duplicate. Gleyber Torres is on the COVID injured list. Giancarlo Stanton was a late scratch with a quadriceps injury. Aaron Judge was batting third. Gio Urshela was available off the bench. The Yankees are still dangerous at the plate, the intimidation factor lowered just a...

Jahmai Jones injury ruins call-up rumors

Jahmai Jones injury ruins call-up rumors
Pat Valaika was on the field early yesterday for infield drills and later placed in the Orioles lineup for the series opener against the Yankees at Camden Yards. Kill the rumors and speculation regarding Jahmai Jones. Jones was scratched from Triple-A Norfolk's lineup on Tuesday and replaced at second base by Mason McCoy. Stevie Wilkerson started at second the following night, Rylan Bannon Thursday and McCoy last night. Were the Orioles preparing to recall Jones rather than keep rotating...

Updating Santander and revisiting Akin's return (Jones on IL)

Updating Santander and revisiting Akin's return (Jones on IL)
Anthony Santander will stay with Double-A Bowie through the weekend on his injury rehab assignment, but won't be able to immediately rejoin the Orioles. There are still protocol regulations that must be followed before he's allowed inside the clubhouse. Santander hasn't played since spraining his left ankle in an April 20 game against the Marlins in Miami. He's in right field tonight at Prince George's Stadium. "Hopefully, by the end of next week, he'll be with us if all goes smoothly,"...
