Hays among roster cuts, Orioles lineup vs. Yankees

Hays among roster cuts, Orioles lineup vs. Yankees
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles are making roster cuts this morning and the group includes outfielder Austin Hays, one of the standouts in camp. Also leaving the complex are pitchers Branden Kline and Cody Carroll and infielders Stevie Wilkerson and Christopher Bostick. Pitcher Gabriel Ynoa was packing his equipment bag, so I'm assuming that he's been reassigned. More on this later. Cedric Mullins is in center field today as the Orioles face the Yankees in Sarasota on MASN. Mark Trumbo is the...

O's roster undergoing more changes, Elias on potential additions

O's roster undergoing more changes, Elias on potential additions
SARASOTA, Fla. - The arrival of another Sunday signals a third round of roster cuts. A pattern has developed with reductions the past two Sundays. There could be four or five players optioned or reassigned this morning. Forty-six players remain in camp. Pitcher Gregory Infante never reported and continues to seek treatment in Miami for an undisclosed illness. The Orioles could hold onto all five of their catchers while Austin Wynns remains unavailable with an oblique injury, but he's hopeful...

Phillips filled with confidence as scoreless innings mount

Phillips filled with confidence as scoreless innings mount
SARASOTA, Fla. - Players who didn't make the trip to Dunedin today might have to move their workouts indoors at the Ed Smith Stadium complex. The rain that's been falling all morning picked up in intensity, shifting into downpour territory around 9 a.m. It's finally let up, but the fields are soaked. Reliever Evan Phillips boarded the bus and is scheduled to pitch against the Blue Jays while trying to extend a scoreless streak that's reached seven innings over his six appearances. He's...

Martin navigating through first spring slump

Martin navigating through first spring slump
SARASOTA, Fla. - Richie Martin didn't figure to keep his average above .400 for an entire spring training. He was bound to cool off, baseball's odds catching up to the kid. Martin is handling his mini-slump or whatever it should be termed with the same poise and maturity that's gotten him this far. No hits in his last four games brings fewer worries, if that's possible. Don't overthink it. Martin isn't. "That's just how baseball goes," he said yesterday morning while relaxing at his...

Updates on Karns, Wynns and Núñez

Updates on Karns, Wynns and Núñez
SARASOTA, Fla. - Nate Karns and Mychal Givens are staying back at the Ed Smith Stadium complex this morning to pitch in a simulated game. They're no longer listed on the travel roster for today's Grapefruit League game against the Twins in Fort Myers. Karns didn't know exactly how many pitches he'd throw. He intended to incorporate his "slider/cutter" in order to judge whether it's game ready. "I've been leaving that one in the 'pen," he said. A slider/cutter? "Sometimes it's a...

Assorted scout opinions of Orioles

Assorted scout opinions of Orioles
SARASOTA, Fla. - Spring training games attract baseball scouts in the same way that free food brings sportswriters out of the woodwork. And the media workrooms. Talent evaluators throughout the industry flock to these games, in some cases making trade or waiver claim recommendations to their employers. And they can offer more accurate assessments of players in a particular organization because they don't have any attachments to them. One team's hyped prospect can be taken down a few notches...

Updating Núñez and wrapping up a 7-6 loss

Updating Núñez and wrapping up a 7-6 loss
SARASOTA, Fla. - Orioles third baseman Renato Núñez is day-to-day with a bruised left shin after being struck by a foul ball while batting in the fourth inning. Núñez stayed in the game and singled into left field. Christopher Bostick pinch-ran after Núñez reached third base. "A little contusion, a bad spot underneath the knee," said manager Brandon Hyde after a 7-6 loss to the Twins at Ed Smith Stadium. "It just sounds like he's really sore." Hyde downplayed how...

Bundy completes five innings (Orioles fall 7-6)

Bundy completes five innings (Orioles fall 7-6)
SARASOTA, Fla. - Results in exhibition games don't matter until they suddenly do. Until the pitcher or hitter needs to get a return for the hard work. When concerns or frustrations start to build and need to be hushed. Nobody in Orioles camp was in a panic over Dylan Bundy's struggles, but manager Brandon Hyde noted this morning that the time arrived to turn in a more productive start, to feel good walking off the mound. Bundy could have done cartwheels all the way to the bench if he was done...

Hyde on Wynns, minor league camp, Bundy and more (O's down 4-3)
SARASOTA, Fla. - Orioles catcher Austin Wynns took some swings this morning and could return in a week from his oblique injury. Wynns is falling behind in the catching competition, which intensified with Jesús Sucre's arrival in camp. But an oblique strain is slow to heal and the Orioles won't rush Wynns, no matter what's at stake. Manager Brandon Hyde said the competition remains "wide open." "I'm trying to get Sucre in there as much as possible because of the amount of time that...

SARASOTA, Fla. - Mark Trumbo is in the lineup on back-to-back days with today's start as the designated hitter against the Twins in Sarasota. Trumbo is batting second again for the Orioles, who also have Chris Davis in the lineup at first base. Trumbo grounded out twice yesterday in his spring debut and his right knee responded favorably. Cedric Mullins leads off and slides over to left field. Austin Hays is in center. Trey Mancini gets the day off. The third base competition continues with...

Are Santander stats good reason to keep him?

Are Santander stats good reason to keep him?
SARASOTA, Fla. - Don't fall in love with spring training statistics. But when is it wrong to ignore them? Anthony Santander has become a fascinating study in Orioles camp. Given virtually no chance of making the club based on his struggles last summer and prospects moving past him. His inclusion in a round of cuts seemingly a matter of when instead of if. Until he arrived in Sarasota in tremendous shape and starting ripping line drives all over Grapefruit League ballparks. Until he amassed 11...

Cobb relishes opening day assignment (plus game wrap)
SARASOTA, Fla. - Alex Cobb knew that it was coming. His first career opening day start. He read the pitching chart on the wall and did the math. All of it added up for him. What remained was the official word from Orioles manager Brandon Hyde, which arrived this morning accompanied by a combination handshake and hug. "I had some ideas," said Cobb, who takes the mound on March 28 at Yankee Stadium. "I've been to a few spring trainings in my day, so I can map out what the schedule looks like...

Trumbo on knee and debut, Cashner on latest start (O's win 6-4)
SARASOTA, Fla. - The process of trying to get Mark Trumbo ready for opening day accelerated this afternoon with his two at-bats in his spring debut against the Blue Jays. No more cages and simulated games. Trumbo batted for the first time with one out and nobody on base in the bottom of the first inning. He got ahead 3-1 in the count, swung through a Marcus Stroman fastball, stayed alive on a couple of foul tips and bounced to shortstop Richard Ureña. Eight pitches total and a sprint up the...

SARASOTA, Fla. - One year after reporting late to Orioles camp as his free agency dragged along and suffering through a miserable stretch in the first half, right-hander Alex Cobb has been chosen as the opening day starter March 28 at Yankee Stadium. Manager Brandon Hyde shared the news with Cobb this morning, a conversation that turned emotional for both parties. "He's real excited," Hyde said. "Obviously, it's an honor. He understands that and he's very, very grateful and I'm just...

Updates on Orioles starters
SARASOTA, Fla. - Alex Cobb returns to the Orioles spring rotation Saturday afternoon with his start against the Blue Jays in Dunedin. Cobb hasn't pitched beyond a simulated game since March 5 against the Pirates, when he allowed one run and two hits over three innings. He lasted only two-thirds of an inning in his debut against the Rays on March 1, charged with four runs and three hits. The birth of Cobb's daughter on Friday night has forced adjustments to his schedule. He worked four innings...

Jackson positioned to serve in utility role for Orioles
SARASOTA, Fla. - Whatever stigma is attached to the designation of utility infielder can evaporate like a puddle in the Florida sun. Want to be a major league player? Accept any role handed to you. Are you a Rule 5 pick who wants to avoid going back to the minors? Embrace any role handed to you. Squeeze it like a popup - camping under it from whichever position you're assigned on a given day. Drew Jackson has an excellent chance of being introduced on opening day at Yankee Stadium because of...

Davis returns to Orioles lineup
SARASOTA, Fla. - Chris Davis has returned to the Orioles lineup tonight for the first time since March 3, the soreness in his left hip subsiding after rest, treatments and swings in the indoor cage and during a simulated game. Davis is the designated hitter against the Yankees in Tampa. Rio Ruiz is playing first base. Manager Brandon Hyde apparently changed his mind about having Trey Mancini start at first. Austin Hays is in right field and batting behind leadoff hitter Cedric Mullins. Chance...
