Karns placed on injured list

Karns placed on injured list
The comeback attempt of pitcher Nate Karns has stalled. The Orioles placed Karns on the 10-day injured list this afternoon with a strained right forearm and recalled reliever Evan Phillips from Triple-A Norfolk. Phillips will be in the bullpen for tonight's game against the Athletics at Camden Yards. Karns was the first free agent signed by the Orioles to a major league deal since the new regime moved in and he broke camp with them after missing the 2018 season with an elbow injury. He...

Looking back and ahead

Looking back and ahead
Manager Brandon Hyde is learning about his players and his club pretty much on a daily basis going back to the beginning of spring training. Or perhaps the January minicamp. Last night showed exactly how they're capable of handling adversity. Coming off an embarrassing 15-3 loss to the Yankees, which featured seven home runs allowed and the pitching debut of infielder Hanser Alberto, the Orioles stormed past the Athletics 12-4 at Camden Yards and acted as though the shelling never...

Davis sets hitless at-bats record in Orioles' 12-4 win (with quotes)

Davis sets hitless at-bats record in Orioles' 12-4 win (with quotes)
Each trip to the plate tonight was met with applause, many fans standing, not a single audible objector in the crowd. It wasn't at a level that would make a player step out of the box and raise his helmet, but the support represented a new shift in Chris Davis' baseball life. Nothing else had been working. Perhaps it was possible to cheer away a slump. Davis lined to right field in the second inning and left field in the third, tying him with Eugenio Vélez for the major league record for...

Hyde on Alberto and catchers, Means on first start (O's up 12-4)

Hyde on Alberto and catchers, Means on first start (O's up 12-4)
Though Chris Davis' inclusion in tonight's lineup provided another pregame distraction, it's also worth noting that Dwight Smith Jr. is sitting for the first time and Hanser Alberto is starting for the third consecutive game. Right-hander Marco Estrada is a reverse-splits guy, which could explain why Smith and Rio Ruiz are on the bench. But Alberto is earning his way into the lineup by going 7-for-14 and providing a reliable glove at three infield positions. He also can pitch a little,...

Hyde on Davis: "He really wanted to play today"

Hyde on Davis: "He really wanted to play today"
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde sought out Chris Davis after yesterday's loss to the Yankees and gauged whether the first baseman wanted to be included in tonight's lineup. Davis could have sat out the series opener against the Athletics, delaying a run at records no one wants to hold. He could have reached for his own reset button. Davis is starting at first base tonight and batting sixth. "He really wanted to play today," Hyde said. Davis is 6-for-36 with three home runs, seven walks and 12...

Means, Fry and tonight's Orioles lineup

Means, Fry and tonight's Orioles lineup
The bullpen bond that John Means has formed with Paul Fry will be interrupted at least temporarily when he moves into the rotation Tuesday night against the Athletics at Camden Yards. Means doesn't know how long he'll be starting. He replaced TBD on Tuesday, a major league career consisting of four relief appearances about to take another turn. Maybe it's one and done, with Dan Straily replacing him, or manager Brandon Hyde could give him another shot. A team in need of dependable relief is...

Orioles tasked with trying to bounce back from bad loss

Orioles tasked with trying to bounce back from bad loss
Orioles shortstop Richie Martin followed manager Brandon Hyde to the mound yesterday in the top of the ninth inning and the same thought popped into minds across the ballpark and inside the press box. The Rule 5 kid was going to pitch. Or not. Martin was entering the game to play shortstop while Jonathan Villar moved to second base and Hanser Alberto made his major league pitching debut. Two weeks into the season and Hyde had to use a position player to pitch, the 10th time it's happened to...

Homers hurt Orioles again in 15-3 loss (with quotes)

Homers hurt Orioles again in 15-3 loss (with quotes)
David Hess didn't flirt with a no-hitter today. It was gone by the second inning, along with a scoreless tie and any hope that the Yankees might ease up on the power surge. Might stop trying to take out a few of the seats or the batter's eye. Gleyber Torres, Clint Frazier and Gary Sánchez homered in the first three innings to create a four-run lead while the Orioles continued to wait for their first baserunner. And then their first hit. It was Domingo Germán's turn to chase history. It...

Means added to Orioles rotation (and other notes, O's down 11-3)
Orioles left-hander John Means has been chosen to start Tuesday night's game against the Athletics at Camden Yards, with manager Brandon Hyde providing a little more clarity today to his pitching plans. The TBD has been scratched. Andrew Cashner starts Monday's series opener, with Alex Cobb going Wednesday and Dylan Bundy Thursday. Means is replacing Nate Karns, who's working exclusively out of the bullpen now rather than continuing in the opener role. Dan Straily, signed on Friday to a...

Orioles lineup vs. Yankees

Orioles lineup vs. Yankees
David Hess returns to the mound this afternoon to close out the series against the Yankees after tossing 6 1/3 hitless innings in Toronto. Hess pitched on opening day at Yankee Stadium and turned in two scoreless innings in relief. Miguel Andújar is 3-for-3 against Hess lifetime, but he's on the injured list. Domingo Germán held the Tigers to an unearned run and one hit Monday and struck out seven batters in five innings, but he also walked five. He's faced the Orioles twice in relief...

Running risks with Rule 5 players

Running risks with Rule 5 players
The Orioles tried to keep two Rule 5 pitchers in their bullpen last season and also carry outfielder Anthony Santander, who couldn't shed his status for 44 days. They tried to keep two Rule 5 infielders this year and also carry reliever Pedro Araujo, who needed 17 days in the majors before he could be optioned. One of baseball's conditioning drills should include lifting such a heavy burden. Nestor Cortes Jr. didn't make it past April last year. Araujo was designated for assignment this...

Castro surrenders late three-run homer in 6-4 loss (with quotes)

Castro surrenders late three-run homer in 6-4 loss (with quotes)
The Orioles legends keep coming back to Camden Yards. Brooks, Eddie, Cakes, Cal and Boog for the home opener and again last night for the celebration of Frank Robinson's life. No last names needed. The 2019 Orioles aren't as easy to identify, scorecards a necessary expense following the roster turnover that began in earnest last July. But there was no mistaking a winning record that traveled back to Baltimore after a two-city road trip to start the season. Also recognizable is the first...

Hyde on Straily, Jackson, Wynns, Davis and more (O's down 6-4)
Dan Straily will begin his Orioles career in the bullpen before he's deemed ready to enter the starting rotation. It shouldn't take long, and his inclusion will give the club five starters and slam the brakes on the opener experiment. "He's a guy who eats innings, has a really good slider, knows how to pitch, just a competitor and so we're really excited to have him," said manager Brandon Hyde. "We're going to work him into (starting). He hasn't pitched in a competitive situation in a...

Straily on joining Orioles and readiness for rotation
New Orioles pitcher Dan Straily met with manager Brandon Hyde this afternoon and fielded questions form the media for about four minutes in front of his locker, his eagerness to pitch evident after signing a one-year deal yesterday. "The Orioles called me right away," he said. "They said, 'Here's our offer for you. If this is something you're interested in let us know,' so it materialized pretty quickly once we kind of had that going. "For me, I was more interested in starting games...

Orioles sign Straily, DFA Jackson, trade for Araujo
The Orioles have brought in a veteran starting pitcher that could end their use of an opener and ease the burden on their bullpen. Right-hander Dan Straily, 30, has signed a major league deal with the Orioles, who created room on the 25-man roster by designating Rule 5 pick Drew Jackson for assignment. The Orioles can attempt to trade Jackson or offer him back to the Dodgers if he clears waivers. The Phillies selected Jackson in the Rule 5 draft and dealt him to the Orioles for international...

Davis climbing lists for longest hitless streaks
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde will post his lineup later today for the second home game of the 2019 season. Eyes will do a quick scan. From the media that passes it along and fans wanting to know whether Chris Davis is in it. Where Davis is slotted no longer sparks the most criticism from fans and draws the majority of questions from the press. He's been hitting seventh. He's been removed twice for pinch-hitters Renato Núñez and Hanser Alberto, guys who aren't established in the majors...

Leftovers for breakfast

Leftovers for breakfast
Trey Mancini made only two starts in right field coming into the season, both as a rookie in 2017. He learned to play left after moving off first base. Orioles manager Brandon Hyde wanted him to become more acclimated to right and expand his versatility on a club that prioritizes it. It's become more than just an experiment. Mancini has been the right fielder in four of the first seven games, with Dwight Smith Jr. hunkered down in left. "It feels good," Mancini said before yesterday's 8-4...

Wrapping up reception for Davis, O's pitching and 8-4 loss

Wrapping up reception for Davis, O's pitching and 8-4 loss
The cheering that accompanied Chris Davis down the orange carpet this afternoon in the Orioles' home opener had the same lasting power as a bubble blown through a wand. Fans lost patience again with the first strikeout and vented harder with the next two. They cheered his replacement, Hanser Alberto, who pinch-hit in the eighth inning in an 8-4 loss to the Yankees. The bubble burst. Alberto's single only sharpened the criticism toward Davis, who's 0-for-17 with four walks and 11...

Orioles surrender seven unanswered runs in 8-4 loss
Catcher Jesús Sucre set an outside target this afternoon with an 0-2 count on Gleyber Torres, the Orioles still holding a two-run lead with two outs in the sixth inning in their home opener. One more strike, one more out, and they could inch a little closer to their latest win. Mike Wright's 95 mph fastball tailed over the plate, moving up and in, and Torres didn't miss it. Contact was made and Sucre bolted out of his crouch, spun toward the home dugout and ripped off his mask. A chase...
