Hess on returning, Showalter on Britton leaving

Hess on returning, Showalter on Britton leaving
The Orioles announced today that they recalled right-hander David Hess from Triple-A Norfolk and he's headed to the bullpen, filling the roster spot that belonged to closer Zach Britton. And Chris Tillman has been released, which allows him to become a free agent and attempt to latch on with another team. Left-hander Donnie Hart wasn't eligible to rejoin the Orioles because he hadn't been down for the minimum 10 days. Tides manager Ron Johnson told Hess late last night about his promotion....

Valencia, who's 15-for-25 versus Price, is batting fourth as the designated hitter. The Orioles continue to audition Renato Núñez at third base. Mark Trumbo is in right field and Caleb Joseph is behind the plate. Second baseman Jonathan Schoop has homered in three consecutive games and four of the last five. He's...

Chris Tillman to elect free agency

Chris Tillman to elect free agency
Given the option of staying in the organization and resuming his career in the minors, right-hander Chris Tillman has declined the Orioles' offer and will become a free agent. An official confirmed Tillman's decision, which allows the veteran right-hander to sign with any club later this week. The Orioles designated Tillman for assignment on Friday following the All-Star break and selected the contract of third baseman Renato Núñez from Triple-A Norfolk. Tillman was told that he could...

Brach on Britton: "It's going to be sad to see him leave"

Brach on Britton: "It's going to be sad to see him leave"
The Orioles will need to make another roster move after last night's trade of closer Zach Britton to the Yankees. They can replace the name on the lineup card, but the intangibles supplied by the longest-tenured player in the organization aren't as easily transferrable. Darren O'Day was the bullpen leader, but he's out for the season following hamstring surgery. Britton has been mentoring the younger pitchers, but his pending free agent status and the club's rebuild assured that he'd be...

Zach Britton: "It's been a great 12 years"

Zach Britton: "It's been a great 12 years"
Zach Britton started to say his goodbyes to teammates tonight during the rain delay, his trade to the Yankees not official but the certainty undeniable. He checked his cell phone and knew exactly what was transpiring. Standing at his locker late tonight, his eyes reddened, Britton tried to sum up the feelings coursing through him after meeting with manager Buck Showalter and executive vice president Dan Duquette. He's leaving the organization that drafted him in the third round in 2006 and...

Ramírez gets first major league win as O's defeat Red Sox 7-6

Ramírez gets first major league win as O's defeat Red Sox 7-6
Yefry Ramírez picked the night that the Orioles were finalizing a Zach Britton trade to earn his first major league win. He may be overshadowed, but it's still a nice achievement. Give the young man a hand and maybe a shaving cream pie. Orioles manager Buck Showalter can't promise Ramírez a set number of starts through the remainder of the season. He won't base his decisions on a start-to-start basis. The leash won't be advertised as especially long or short. Ramírez will take the...

Orioles close to dealing Britton to Yankees (updated)

Orioles close to dealing Britton to Yankees (updated)
The Orioles and Yankees have made substantial progress tonight toward a trade that would send left-hander Zach Britton to the Bronx and finally close out a sweepstakes that has taken on various forms over the past few weeks. A source confirmed that talks have escalated quickly and a deal is nearing completion that would bring back three players to the Orioles, including Double-A Trenton right-hander Dillon Tate, but it isn't done. There's the whole medical review process and other points that...

Latest on Britton trade talk (O's lead 2-1)
The tarp has been peeled off the infield at Camden Yards while the grounds crew rakes the dirt and applies the drying compound. Dark clouds are hovering, but the rain has stopped. The tarp hasn't been rolled up. It's just folded in the outfield. The gates opened about 30 minutes later than usual as head groundskeeper Nicole Sherry continued to monitor the radar. As always, the Orioles will try to play tonight and avoid losing an off-day or being subjected to another doubleheader. Meanwhile,...

Injury updates and Showalter talks about Jones' latest award

Injury updates and Showalter talks about Jones' latest award
The light rain that's been falling at Camden Yards finally has stopped, but the tarp remains on the field due to an ominous forecast. Double-A Bowie outfielder Austin Hays, who hasn't played since May 24 due to an ankle injury, continues to do baseball activities and is expected to begin a rehab assignment at short-season Single-A Aberdeen within the next day or two. Manager Buck Showalter said Bowie right-hander Hunter Harvey is close to pitching in games. The former first-round pick could...

Morning notes on Schoop, Brach and Scott
While the Orioles seem to be more focused on engaging in trade talks related to their pending free agents, with closer Zach Britton leading the pack and likely to be gone before the end of the homestand, they also are hearing from teams expressing interest in players who remain under control beyond 2018. Starters Kevin Gausman and Dylan Bundy, reliever Mychal Givens and second baseman Jonathan Schoop are attracting attention and the Orioles won't regard anyone as untouchable in a rebuild. Only...

Orioles absorb two rain delays and 5-3 loss (with quotes)

Orioles absorb two rain delays and 5-3 loss (with quotes)
Kevin Gausman opened the first homestand tonight following the All-Star break by throwing seven pitches and heading back to the clubhouse. No injury or ejection. Just the latest round of rain showers. Two outs in the bottom of the third inning and another storm drenched the ballpark, forcing the second interruption while the grounds crew stood on the field and waited to remove the tarp. Anyone hoping for a smoother ride in the second half is in for a serious disappointment. Gausman served up...

The tarp is off the field again at Camden Yards after more rain fell in the afternoon. The sun comes out, dark clouds return, the sun comes back out and rain starts and stops. It's been a maddening pattern. The forecast isn't favorable, but the Orioles as always will try to play tonight and avoid a doubleheader or losing an off-day. They've checked the schedule for alternate dates, just in case. Manager Buck Showalter didn't use Zach Britton yesterday in Toronto while a 4-1 lead dissolved...

Latest on the trade market

Latest on the trade market
The Orioles are ready to kick off their first homestand of the second half and the first without Manny Machado on the roster. How much longer will it include closer Zach Britton? There's widespread interest in Britton on the trade market, of course, and while the Dodgers recently came up again as a potential partner with the Orioles, I've heard that the Astros, Red Sox and Cubs are "more active." The offers currently on the table are "all close," according to a source. Also, the Phillies...

Hart optioned again, Orioles lineup vs. Blue Jays
The Orioles activated Andrew Cashner from the 10-day disabled list to make today's start in Toronto that wraps up the three-game series. They optioned left-hander Donnie Hart for the eighth time this season to create room on the 25-man roster. The bullpen is down to eight relievers, including left-handers Zach Britton, Tanner Scott and Paul Fry, and the Orioles continue to carry a three-man bench. Adam Jones gets a break today from the Rogers Centre turf. Joey Rickard is in center field, Jace...

This, that and the other

This, that and the other
Outfielder Yusniel Díaz was the jewel in the package of players that the Orioles acquired from the Dodgers for shortstop Manny Machado. No other suitor offered up anyone of that caliber. But scouts like the potential of reliever Zach Pop, a 21-year-old right-hander assigned to Double-A Bowie. Pop, a seventh-round pick in the 2017 draft out of the University of Kentucky, registered a 0.93 ERA and 0.87 WHIP in 35 career relief appearances before the trade. He projects as a potential set-up...

Trumbo: "I don't think the morale is shattered by any means"

Trumbo: "I don't think the morale is shattered by any means"
Don't do the math. It's the best piece of advice for Orioles players who will stay on the roster in the second half and finish out a season that's exceeded their worst fears. Second baseman Jonathan Schoop was digging for a positive nugget while a couple of reporters stood at his locker in Minnesota. Just as easily as the team has lost, he said, it could turn around and suddenly win 20 in a row. Keep the faith. It's doubtful that Schoop really believed that the Orioles could go on such a...
