The Orioles have announced a series of theme nights later this summer at Camden Yards.
The following is a partial schedule, which requires the purchase of a limited special ticket package in order to participate. Additional details will be made available for each event at a later date:
* Star Wars Night: The first-ever Star Wars Night at Camden Yards will be held on May 11, highlighted by a ticket package containing a limited-edition O'Day-Wan Kenobi Bobblehead, featuring Orioles reliever...
Facing a right-handed starter today, the Orioles have found spots in the lineup for Pedro Ãlvarez, Anthony Santander and Chance Sisco.
Ãlvarez is batting second against the Tigers' Jordan Zimmermann as the Orioles try to avoid being swept on their road trip.
Luis Sardiñas, who hit a game-tying home run yesterday in the top of the ninth inning, is playing second base this afternoon and batting sixth.
Trey Mancini is batting .346 (18-for-52) with a .414 on base percentage in 12 games...
The Orioles are 12-34 since the start of September, the latest blow yesterday's 6-5 walk-off loss to the Tigers. When it rains, it pours - even when a game is played beneath a blue sky.
Rally to take a 4-2 lead in the top of the eighth inning, immediately fall behind 5-4, get a game-tying leadoff home run from unlikely hero Luis Sardiñas in the ninth and give up Dixon Machado's leadoff shot in the bottom half on only the second pitch from Rule 5 pick Pedro Araujo.
As I've stated in the...
Engelb Vielma gets the start today at second base as the Orioles try to win for only the second time in eight games.
Craig Gentry is in right field again and Danny Valencia is the designated hitter. Caleb Joseph is catching.
Kevin Gausman is 1-1 with a 4.11 ERA and 1.200 WHIP in six career starts against the Tigers. In his only start at Comerica Park, he allowed three runs and seven hits and struck out seven batters over six innings.
Victor Martinez is 1-for-18 against Gausman. Nick Castellanos...
Seventeen games have proven to be an ample sample size for fans who already are declaring the season to be the worst in Orioles history.
Some of the verdicts came in much earlier. After the club was swept in Houston in the first road series. Or, going back further, after pitchers and catchers reported to spring training.
Nerves continued to fray and more hairs were ripped from scalps last night with a 4-2 loss in Detroit, the sixth for the Orioles in the last seven games to lower their record...
The Orioles have selected infielder Luis Sardiñas' contract from Triple-A Norfolk and he's starting tonight at second base.
The 40-man roster is full.
Sardiñas was 6-for-30 with two doubles, one home run and three RBIs with the Tides. His last major league game was May 20, 2017 with the Padres.
Sardiñas is making his 26th start and 47th appearance at second base in the majors. He made five starts at second and three at shortstop with Norfolk this year.
Tim Beckham moves back to third...
The Orioles can't get away from bad weather. Only the cities change.
Following Monday morning's postponement in Boston, the Orioles have agreed to allow the Tigers to move Wednesday's game at Comerica Park from 6:40 p.m. to 1:10 p.m. due to "impending inclement weather."
Major League Baseball granted approval to adjust the start time with the latest forecast in Detroit calling for a 70 percent chance of rain in the evening.
What's one more wintry mix?
The game will air on MASN and 105.7...
I had to dig my glove out of basement storage after arriving home late last night - flight delays providing the appropriate ending to the trip - to handle all the questions about the Orioles that have been hit to me. The experience is making me a contender for a job as utility infielder.
What's wrong with the rotation? What's wrong with the offense? What's wrong with the defense?
Otherwise, everything is good through the first 16 games of the season.
I'm not fretting over the rotation...
BOSTON - The Orioles are preparing to make another adjustment to their roster in Detroit, where they begin a three-game series Tuesday night.
Unable to play today due to rain, the Orioles announced that they optioned right-hander David Hess to Triple-A Norfolk one day after recalling him. No word on the corresponding move.
Hess arrived in Boston yesterday while the Orioles optioned Donnie Hart to Norfolk. Hart wasn't going to be available for a few days after pitching in back-to-back games and...
BOSTON - With no morning game at Fenway Park due to a forecast that didn't provide a window to play, the Orioles are able to make adjustments to their rotation for the Tigers series that begins Tuesday night.
Andrew Cashner is pushed back to the opener at Comerica Park, followed by Kevin Gausman on Wednesday night and most likely Alex Cobb on Thursday afternoon.
The Orioles will withhold making a decision on the finale until Cobb's workday. Meanwhile, the Orioles appear to be skipping Chris...
BOSTON - The weather couldn't keep the Orioles from playing today. It couldn't disturb Dylan Bundy, who operated as if conditions were normal. Fastball, slider and maybe a few shivers, but nothing he couldn't handle.
Out of his control were a couple of plays behind him in the sixth inning that allowed batters to reach. Mistakes that the Red Sox parlayed into another lead and a win.
Two unearned runs off Bundy and a muted offense were the difference in the Orioles' 3-1 loss to the Red Sox at...
BOSTON - Jonathan Schoop expressed some hope today about his ability to come off the disabled list after the minimum 10 days. Oblique strains traditionally require a longer recovery period, but no one is stamping out his optimism given the disappointment he felt upon suffering the injury.
"I hope 10 days," he said. "I hope in the next couple of days I'll feel better so I can start swinging and start to work on it to get better and get stronger."
Manager Buck Showalter knows the odds...
BOSTON - The Orioles have recalled pitcher David Hess from Triple-A Norfolk today and optioned left-hander Donnie Hart to the Tides in the latest adjustment to the bullpen.
Hart was used in the last two games, allowing an unearned run in 2 2/3 innings, and wouldn't be available for the rest of the series. And the need for a second southpaw isn't as pronounced for the three-game set against the Tigers that begins on Tuesday at Comerica Park.
Hess, 24, was scratched from yesterday's start in...
BOSTON - Craig Gentry is in center field today, Adam Jones is the designated hitter and the temperature for today's game is plummeting.
A clubhouse guard said it's snowing six miles outside the city and headed this way.
Tim Beckham remains at second base with Jonathan Schoop on the disabled list. Schoop said this morning that he's optimistic about returning after 10 days.

BOSTON - The Orioles' streak of roster moves on game days is up to seven with Jonathan Schoop going on the disabled list yesterday and Alex Cobb getting his official recall from Double-A Bowie.
Will it grow to eight?
The bullpen is the usual suspect, so let's go there first.
Donnie Hart threw 17 pitches Friday night after being recalled and 22 yesterday while working twice in less than 24 hours. He retired four of five batters in his debut and allowed an unearned run yesterday over 1 1/3...
BOSTON - The MRI on second baseman Jonathan Schoop's right oblique this morning revealed a Grade 1 strain, which is a sliver of good news on an otherwise lousy day for the Orioles.
Though Schoop was forced to go on the 10-day disabled list, he suffered a milder strain among the classifications and could return sooner than anticipated.
"There's grades 1 through 5, with 5 being the most severe, and that was a 1," manager Buck Showalter explained after a 10-3 loss to the Red Sox at Fenway...
BOSTON - Alex Cobb can't be judged on one start. Signing him as a free agent can't be deemed a colossal failure after one inning. The same patience required to prepare him for today's debut with the Orioles is needed to grade him.
He didn't pass today. There will be plenty of other tests.
The first four Red Sox batters reached against Cobb this afternoon and he allowed three runs and threw 28 pitches before retreating to the visiting dugout. The storms forecast for the next two days arrived...
BOSTON - The Orioles finally got their bullpen settled after two extra-inning games in New York and now they're proceeding without their starting second baseman. The shuffling and worrying doesn't cease.
Jonathan Schoop went on the 10-day disabled list today with a strained right oblique, creating a corresponding roster move for starter Alex Cobb in his debut with the club.
"We knew we were going to have to make room for Alex today," manager Buck Showalter said this morning. "I wish it...
BOSTON - The Orioles placed second baseman Jonathan Schoop on the 10-day disabled list today with a strained right oblique, creating a roster spot for pitcher Alex Cobb in a way they hadn't anticipated or desired.
Schoop underwent an MRI this morning and the club received the results shortly before noon.
Cobb officially was recalled from Double-A Bowie today and is making his debut with the Orioles.
The injury occurred last night as Schoop took his final swing in the top of the seventh inning....
BOSTON - The Orioles are listing Jonathan Schoop among their reserves for today's game against the Red Sox.
Schoop was removed last night in the eighth inning with discomfort in his side.
No move has been announced to accommodate starter Alex Cobb.
Pedro Ãlvarez is batting second as the designated hitter. Tim Beckham is the second baseman and Danny Valencia is playing third.
Adam Jones is batting .333 (12-for-36) on the road this season. His 181 career hits against the Red Sox rank third...
