Mancini's return to Camden Yards high point in loss (updated)

Mancini's return to Camden Yards high point in loss (updated)
Trey Mancini heard his name called, stepped out of the dugout, jogged to the first base line, tapped fists with manager Brandon Hyde and center fielder Cedric Mullins, and gave the crowd what it wanted. Himself. Back in uniform. Back in Baltimore. The Orioles played their first home game this afternoon after a two-city road trip, tweaking the traditional ceremonies as a concession to health and safety protocols. Maybe the bullpen would have been too crowded for introductions. Matt Harvey...

Hyde on the home opener and Mancini's return

Hyde on the home opener and Mancini's return
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde hinted earlier today that ceremonies for the home opener would be adjusted due to the health and safety protocols implemented at Camden Yards. Can't mute the excitement, however, with fans allowed inside the ballpark at 25 percent capacity. Asked if he's going to run out of the bullpen and down the orange carpet or come out of the dugout, Hyde said, "I'm hearing it's different this year because of COVID." "But I'm still going to stretch," he said. "Foam...

Orioles lineup vs. Red Sox

Orioles lineup vs. Red Sox
Rio Ruiz stays at third base this afternoon and Pat Valaika is the second baseman for the Orioles' home opener against the Red Sox and left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez. Trey Mancini is batting second, playing first base and set to receive the loudest and most prolonged ovation of the day. Maikel Franco is the designated hitter again and Ryan Mountcastle stays in the cleanup spot. Cedric Mullins, who remains in center field and atop the order, has a 10-game hitting streak dating to last...

Harvey on hill as fans head to Camden Yards for home opener

Harvey on hill as fans head to Camden Yards for home opener
Opening day in the traditional sense isn't happening this afternoon at Camden Yards. However, gates are opening to fans, players will be introduced and the sounds of baseball will mix with real, live crowd reactions. The dugout chatter won't ricochet off the empty seats. The ballpark can be filled to 25 percent capacity, around 11,000 fans, as the Orioles play their first home series. Matt Harvey makes his second career start in Baltimore, unable to work out in his new surroundings due to the...

Kremer leaves early, Orioles avoid shutout in ninth (updated)

Kremer leaves early, Orioles avoid shutout in ninth (updated)
Dean Kremer's three most important pitches tonight didn't require a batter or plate umpire. His line and the score wouldn't be impacted. He did, however, draw a small crowd near the mound. An unexpected pod. Aaron Judge lined a fastball up the middle that slammed off the back of Kremer's leg in the first inning, threatening the rookie's start just two batters into the game. An exit velocity near 110 mph could have sent Kremer to the clubhouse almost as quickly. But Kremer convinced manager...

Mansolino on Ruiz: O's "optimistic that this is going to work"

Mansolino on Ruiz: O's "optimistic that this is going to work"
Rio Ruiz didn't move over to second base until the Orioles decided to move on from Yolmer Sánchez. That was the first click of the dial. How Ruiz became the opening day starter at the position, where he returned again last night, began with the Orioles needing someone to replace Sánchez, who was designated for assignment and released late in camp after signing a minor league deal that would have paid $1 million. They also were searching for ways to have Ruiz and new third baseman Maikel...

Hyde on youth, home opener details and more

Hyde on youth, home opener details and more
The news frenzy yesterday has been followed this afternoon by pregame tranquility, as evidenced by the six minutes that manager Brandon Hyde spent on his media Zoom call. Nothing worth stopping the real and proverbial presses. No roster moves or injury updates. Five Orioles made their major league debuts in 2020. Three earned the honor this season within the first four games - Rule 5 pitchers Mac Sceroler and Tyler Wells and outfielder Ryan McKenna. More pitchers should walk through the door...

Orioles and Yankees lineups
Both Orioles catchers are in the lineup tonight in the Bronx, with Chance Sisco serving as the designated hitter and batting ninth against Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole. Anthony Santander is in right field after sitting out last night's 7-0 loss. Ryan Mountcastle remains in left field and is hitting cleanup. Rio Ruiz starts at second base for the fourth time in five games. Ryan McKenna is on the bench after making his major league debut last night and going 0-for-2 with a walk. He replaced...

Orioles release alternate training site roster

Orioles release alternate training site roster
The Orioles basically are scattered in three areas this month, with the team in New York for the first road trip of the season, minor league players reporting to the Sarasota complex for the next wave of spring training and a group working out at the alternate camp site in Bowie. Outfielder Heston Kjerstad remains on the outside. The plan calls for him to skip spring training and go directly to Prince George's Stadium, but he hasn't been cleared to participate. Kjerstad was the second overall...

Leftovers for breakfast

Leftovers for breakfast
The two scoreless innings Sunday afternoon from Orioles reliever Cole Sulser didn't spare him an option yesterday to the alternate training site. It didn't erase the struggles last summer that cost him the closer's job, with the loss of control and skyrocketing walk totals forcing manager Brandon Hyde to scrounge for lower-leverage situations. Those innings, however, were important to a team knowing that it's going to need him in a 162-game season. Knowing that he must be trustworthy no...

McKenna and Sceroler debut in Orioles' 7-0 loss in Bronx (updated)
Ryan McKenna has no idea how long he's going to stay with the Orioles beyond the trip to New York. His taste of the majors could sit on the tip of his tongue as he reports to the alternate training site in Bowie later this week. He could be introduced to fans at Thursday's home opening day. A mere taste turning into a mouthful. An appetizer or a feast. He isn't counting courses. He's just appreciative of the invitation, so unexpected less than a week into the season. Rule 5 pitcher Mac...

Hays goes on IL, McKenna recalled and Armstrong reinstated

Hays goes on IL, McKenna recalled and Armstrong reinstated
The Orioles have placed outfielder Austin Hays on the 10-day injured list with a strained right hamstring and recalled Ryan McKenna from the alternate training site. McKenna was on the taxi squad. The latest downturn in Hays' health occurred yesterday at Fenway Park on his double in the third inning. He limped off the field after diving back into the bag and Pat Valaika pinch-ran and played left field. Manager Brandon Hyde didn't notice that Hays was hurt until he saw the outfielder heading...

Hays' status remains uncertain due to sore hamstring

Hays' status remains uncertain due to sore hamstring
The Orioles will make a decision later this afternoon about the status of outfielder Austin Hays, whose sore right hamstring could force the club into placing him on the 10-day injured list. Hays is having the leg examined again today. "He's still sore," manager Brandon Hyde said in his Zoom call. "We're getting him checked out and we're going to have a decision on him here very shortly. Probably the next 30 minutes or so." Hays injured the hamstring yesterday in Boston on his double in...

Teams scouting Santander while his swing brings stellar stats

Teams scouting Santander while his swing brings stellar stats
Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander avoided a serious oblique injury late in camp, a twinge handled properly with a little rest and plenty of controlled at-bats on the back fields. Nothing that would tempt him into the kind of aggressive swings that led to his placement on the injured list last September. He's started in right field in the first three games, collecting three more hits yesterday in an 11-3 win at Fenway Park. He's the first Orioles player with an RBI in three straight games...

Orioles lose Hays and win again in Boston (updated)

Orioles lose Hays and win again in Boston (updated)
Adam Plutko was kidding. He didn't bite when challenged to place a guarantee on it. He did, however, ramp up the humor yesterday by saying the Orioles "obviously" would go 162-0 this season. The newest Orioles pitcher also offered to hand over his salary if they ran the table. It's much too soon to hit the ATM, but the Orioles cashed in on an opportunity to sweep the Red Sox. They haven't hit a home run in three games, but they keep manufacturing runs and wins. They jumped Garrett Richards...

Armstrong transferred from paternity list to injured list (plus notes)
Reliever Shawn Armstrong has been reinstated from the paternity list today. However, he can't rejoin the team until going through the intake process, which has placed him on the injured list. This is a procedural move, which happened a few times last summer. Another similarity between 2020 and 2021. The bullpen remains intact while he's on the IL. A corresponding roster move will be made after he's activated. Manager Brandon Hyde said he was hopeful that Armstrong would be available Monday...

The Orioles go for the sweep this afternoon in Boston with left-hander Bruce Zimmermann making his second career start and Chance Sisco setting the target for him. Sisco replaces Pedro Severino, who's 4-for-8 with two runs scored while batting ninth. Austin Hays stays in left field but moves down to eighth. Maikel Franco is batting sixth, followed by Freddy Galvis. The rest of the lineup remains intact. Cedric Mullins is leading off and Ryan Mountcastle is the designated hitter. Rio Ruiz gets...

Leftovers for Sunday breakfast

Leftovers for Sunday breakfast
A couple of strategies have worked for the Orioles in the season's first two games. Get a deep start from ace John Means, hand the ball to a setup man and the closer of the day, and head back to the team hotel. Call upon a bulk reliever working behind a starter who gets into the fourth or fifth inning, hand the ball to a setup man and the closer of the day, and head back to the team hotel. That's how the Orioles have gone 2-0 and can try to complete the sweep later today at Fenway Park....

Harvey and Plutko debut for Orioles in 4-2 win

Harvey and Plutko debut for Orioles in 4-2 win
The Dark Knight caught his last glimpse of sunlight on the mound this afternoon after failing to grab a ball hit back to him that produced a run and a visit from his manager. Matt Harvey's first game with the Orioles, his first experience at Fenway Park, lasted 4 2/3 innings and was neither a rousing success nor a dud. A middle-of-the-order result from the No. 2 starter. A couple of clutch hits and lockdown relief assured the Orioles of a series win after they defeated the Red Sox...

Hyde on catchers, Ruiz, Rule 5 pitchers, Harvey and more
Pedro Severino is behind the plate again today for the Orioles after catching yesterday's combined two-hit shutout at Fenway Park and collecting two hits. The Red Sox are starting three right-handers in the series, which could get Chance Sisco in the lineup. Or he'll wait until the Orioles resume their road trip in the Bronx. The life of a backup. "I was really impressed with Sevie," manager Brandon Hyde said today in his Zoom call. "I thought we didn't talk enough about what Sevie did...
