Orioles set to add Shepherd to staff

Orioles set to add Shepherd to staff
The Orioles are prepared to make another roster move later today after pitcher Chandler Shepherd joined them in San Diego last night while they were losing to the Padres 8-1. The corresponding move could involve David Hess, who started last night. Or they could hold onto Hess and keep him in the rotation. Another pitcher could be optioned or the move could involve outfielder Dwight Smith Jr., who aggravated his calf injury last night. Getting a position player to the West Coast for a day game...

Is Bundy still a trade chip? (Shepherd joining O's)

Is Bundy still a trade chip? (Shepherd joining O's)
Another day passed without the Orioles making a trade, and they aren't in desperation mode to beat the deadline. They'll continue to make and receive calls, with a handful of players on the roster drawing varying levels of interest. And they'll have an entire offseason to revisit talks and open new lines of communication. Dylan Bundy has been described as one of the trade chips, but I keep hearing that there isn't much of a market for him. I'll also stress again that no one in the media is...

Hess recalled to start tonight in San Diego

Hess recalled to start tonight in San Diego
David Hess is getting another chance in the Orioles rotation. For however long it lasts. Hess has been recalled from Triple-A Norfolk to start tonight's series opener against the Padres in San Diego. Reliever Evan Phillips was optioned to create room on the 25-man roster. The Orioles needed someone to replace rookie John Means, who's on the 10-day injured list with a left biceps strain. The decision puts Hess on the mound on short rest. He started Thursday for the Tides and threw 86 pitches...

Latest on Orioles as trade deadline nears

Latest on Orioles as trade deadline nears
The baseball weekend featured multiple trades consummated by teams that aren't based in Baltimore. So what, if anything, is happening with the Orioles? They have two days until they reach the deadline. They're trying to follow up on the Andrew Cashner deal on July 13. And Mychal Givens remains the biggest chip. The Orioles are in talks with multiple clubs regarding Givens, who earned the four-out save Saturday night in Anaheim after allowing a run in the ninth and leaving the bases loaded in...

Orioles lineup vs. Angels

Orioles lineup vs. Angels
The Orioles go for the four-game sweep this afternoon as they close out their series against the Angels in Anaheim. Dylan Bundy is making the start. The Orioles have never swept the Angels in four games in California. The last three-game sweep was 2010. The team's last sweep of any kind was Aug. 27-29, 2018 against the Blue Jays. The last road sweep came on June 5-6, 2018 against the Mets at Citi Field. The last four-game sweep was July 17-20, 2017 against the Rangers at Camden Yards. The last...

Wondering about Monday's starter (and Aberdeen leftovers)

Wondering about Monday's starter (and Aberdeen leftovers)
While the Orioles downplay John Means' second stop on the injured list, this time with a left biceps strain, they need to find a starter to take his next turn. Means is expected to miss only one start, but who's making it? Someone has to take the mound Monday night in San Diego, and manager Brandon Hyde isn't ready to announce his choice. Probably because he doesn't know yet what it is. Gabriel Ynoa is an option if he's fresh. He worked 1 2/3 innings Wednesday in Arizona and three innings...

Rutschman already fitting in with IronBirds (updated with quotes)

Rutschman already fitting in with IronBirds (updated with quotes)
Adley Rutschman just wanted to blend. The first overall pick in the 2019 First-Year Player Draft just wanted to be one of the guys inside the Aberdeen IronBirds clubhouse and while on the field for batting practice prior to his first game with the Orioles' short-season Single-A affiliate. He's going to keep trying. No matter how hard. Rutschman walked past a team store at Ripken Stadium with his IronBirds jersey hanging in front of the window. Couldn't miss it. He was assigned No. 35, which...

Broxton update and Orioles lineup in Anaheim

Broxton update and Orioles lineup in Anaheim
The Orioles won't be keeping center fielder Keon Broxton in the organization after designating him for assignment last weekend. Broxton has been claimed off waivers by the Mariners, allowing him to stay in the majors. Broxton is out of minor league options and would have needed to clear waivers and be outrighted. Acquired from the Mets on May 22 for international signing bonus slots, Broxton added value with his defense in center but slashed .204/.261/.350 (21-for-103) with three doubles, four...

Talking about Rutschman, Karns, Wilkerson and Ortiz
The day has arrived. And so has Adley Rutschman. The first overall pick in the 2019 First-Year Player Draft has ditched the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League and is moving up one level to short-season Single-A Aberdeen. Florida couldn't hold the kid. Time to get him in Maryland. Rutschman would have reported a day earlier, but only for batting practice, if not for Thursday's rainout. The Orioles wanted him to catch in one more game, which he did yesterday. Because he was behind the plate,...

Rutschman update, new relievers and lineup (updated with moves)
The Orioles announced today that catcher Adley Rutschman is joining short-season Single-A Aberdeen on Saturday, as reported earlier this week. There's your confirmation. Rutschman caught today and went 0-for-3 with an RBI, walk and throwing error. He's 3-for-14 with a home run, three RBIs and a stolen base in five Rookie-level Gulf Coast League games. The IronBirds are hosting Hudson Valley at Ripken Stadium, with first pitch Saturday at 6:05 p.m. The Orioles haven't announced their roster...

Orioles need more relievers after Anaheim marathon

Orioles need more relievers after Anaheim marathon
The Orioles are going to make a change to their bullpen later today. At least one. Manager Brandon Hyde used eight relievers and a position player last night after Jimmy Yacabonis, who earned the title of "opener" because Tom Eshelman followed with 4 1/3 innings. Otherwise, it's just a bullpen game. Well, it actually became both because the game stretched through 16 innings before the Orioles posted a 10-8 win. Eshelman allowed only one run. He's a hero. Gabriel Ynoa worked three scoreless...

Expecting the unexpected with Orioles (updated)

Expecting the unexpected with Orioles (updated)
The unpredictability of a team in a rebuild and its willingness to try just about anything should leave few surprises. Anything is possible in 2019. Always be ready for the unexpected. Unless you're me. I wasn't ready to see Anthony Santander become a regular in center field. Or in any spot after a lost 2018 season. I wasn't ready to see Renato Núñez back at third base, especially with so much emphasis placed on improving the defense. I wasn't ready to see Hanser Alberto leading the...

Orioles lineup vs. Angels

Orioles lineup vs. Angels
The Orioles decided to shift gears tonight and go with an opener, or a bullpen game, depending on how it plays out. Jimmy Yacabonis has been named the starter after the club listed Tom Eshelman to begin the series against the Angels. Eshelman could follow Yacabonis. Manager Brandon Hyde will explain the move later to reporters in Anaheim. Yacabonis has made two starts among 23 appearances. His high in innings and pitches this season is 3 1/3 and 61 out of the bullpen in Game 1 of a July 13...

Orioles select Jace Peterson's contract
Jace Peterson's strange journey since last season has brought him to Anaheim. The Orioles selected Peterson's contract today from Triple-A Norfolk and he's available for tonight's series opener against the Angels. He's wearing No. 23. He might be surprised to be wearing orange and black again. Peterson, 29, is taking the roster spot vacated by third baseman Rio Ruiz. The Orioles optioned Ruiz following yesterday's 5-2 loss in Arizona. The 40-man roster now holds 39 players with the...

Armstrong's adjustment adds to ability to attack hitters

Armstrong's adjustment adds to ability to attack hitters
PHOENIX - Shawn Armstrong's solution began as a lengthy heart-to-heart pitching conversation with teammate Jimmy Yacabonis on the night that the Orioles flew into Arizona. Armstrong didn't have a clean outing in his last six appearances. Didn't feel right for much longer. A "three-to-four week inconsistent patch," as he calls it. "I felt like at times I had the shape to my pitches and kind of revert right back to backup sliders, backup breaking balls and so forth the next outing, and then...

Means can't escape fourth inning in 5-2 loss (Ruiz optioned)

Means can't escape fourth inning in 5-2 loss (Ruiz optioned)
PHOENIX - John Means retired the first five batters today, getting strikeouts with his changeup and curveball. But something wasn't right. He wasn't particularly sharp and the Diamondbacks were chipping away at him. Means came tumbling down in the fourth, turning in his shortest start since his rotation debut back on April 9. Nine batters came to the plate in the inning, Carson Kelly hit a three-run homer and the Orioles lost 5-2 at Chase Field. Gabriel Ynoa stranded two inherited runners,...

Updating Rutschman's Aberdeen debut and more (O's down 5-2)
PHOENIX - Catcher Adley Rutschman is expected to make his Maryland debut Saturday evening with the short-season Single-A Aberdeen IronBirds. The Orioles haven't made an official announcement and schedules always are subject to change, but Saturday appears to be the target date for Rutschman to leave the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League. Aberdeen began a six-game homestand Tuesday that carries through the weekend. The IronBirds host Hudson Valley Saturday at 6:05 p.m. Ripken Stadium should be...

Recapping last night's Orioles win and looking ahead
PHOENIX - Dwight Smith Jr. used to be hitless in 33 at-bats and looking every bit like a player in a deep funk. Smith is a changed man. Hits in his last four games. A single and three-run homer last night in a 7-2 win. A hot streak that seemed to come out of nowhere. "I just kept working hard," he said. "It's just baseball. I was coming back from injury, so I was just getting timing back. And me struggling mentally and physically, it was a lot, but I had good teammates and good supporting...
