Leftovers for breakfast

Leftovers for breakfast
SARASOTA, Fla. - The competition for backup catcher with the Orioles appears to be a two-man race between Chance Sisco and Austin Wynns, though Andrew Susac remains in camp and is trying to make a push after a staph infection led to a brief hospital stay. Wynns was in the lineup yesterday against the Rays and had a single and walk before striking out with the bases loaded to end the fifth. Susac replaced him and singled in his only at-bat. Susac is 2-for-2 and has walked twice in limited...

Mike Wright Jr. on today's outing (O's win 7-2, more quotes)

Mike Wright Jr. on today's outing (O's win 7-2, more quotes)
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. - Danny Valencia has an RBI double today off Rays left-hander Anthony Banda and a two-run double off right-hander Yonny Chirinos. He's trying to demonstrate that he's an equal opportunity masher and not just a platoon player. Valencia is 4-for-9 with three doubles, a home run and four RBIs since signing a minor league deal with the Orioles and vowing to make the major league club. The Orioles sent 10 batters to the plate in the fifth and took a 7-2 lead. Tim Beckham had a...

Liranzo optioned, Cashner nearing Grapefruit League debut

Liranzo optioned, Cashner nearing Grapefruit League debut
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. - The Orioles extended their streak of removing players from their camp roster this morning by optioning right-hander Jesus Liranzo to Double-A Bowie. The roster is down to 52 players and more cuts are coming over the next few days. Liranzo, who turns 23 today, was slow-played this spring to protect his right shoulder. He was charged with five runs yesterday against the Twins in Fort Myers, the last three scoring after he left the game. Meanwhile, Andrew Cashner may be...

Edgin stays in the mix for left-handed relief

Edgin stays in the mix for left-handed relief
SARASOTA, Fla. - Reliever Josh Edgin is expected to leave Orioles camp this week, but not because he's included among the cuts. It's probably too early to make a final determination on his status. Edgin will join his wife for the birth of their child. She's due on Thursday and the doctor may induce labor. His baseball life will beckon and he'll return to the complex with a full heart and the same opportunity to make the club. Though he hasn't received much attention, Edgin is in the thick...

Wrapping up a 9-8 loss (Hess and Ferrell cut from camp roster)

Wrapping up a 9-8 loss (Hess and Ferrell cut from camp roster)
FORT MYERS, Fla. - The Orioles aren't expected to announce their latest roster cuts until later tonight or in the morning. They'll send out a couple of pitchers. The pitching this afternoon was spotty, to put it mildly. Hunter Harvey earned a passing grade from manager Buck Showalter following a 9-8 loss to the Twins and left-hander Richard Bleier was a groundball machine in the eighth, the only baserunner reaching on shortstop Engebl Vielma's fielding error. Left-hander Joely Rodriguez...

Valencia hits first home run (and other notes, O's lose 9-8)

Valencia hits first home run (and other notes, O's lose 9-8)
FORT MYERS, Fla. - Danny Valencia really loves to hit the lefties. Valencia led off the top of the second inning today with a long home run to left field off Twins southpaw Adalberto Mejía, who tried to get a 91 mph fastball past him. Didn't work. Hunter Harvey tossed a scoreless first inning, stranding two runners after Miguel Sanó's two-out double and Eduardo Escobar's walk. He also threw a wild pitch. Harvey struck out Brian Dozier on a 95 mph fastball that caught the inner half of...

Orioles announce more roster cuts
FORT MYERS, Fla. - The Orioles have reduced their camp roster to 55 today with five more cuts. Pitchers Stefan Crichton, Michael Kelly and Yefry Ramirez have been optioned to Triple-A Norfolk, and left-hander Andrew Faulkner and outfielder Jaycob Brugman have been reassigned to minor league camp. The yearly reminder that players on the 40-man roster are optioned and non-roster players are reassigned. Also, the assignments to Norfolk can be adjusted later, with Double-A Bowie always a...

Quick update on Chris Davis

Quick update on Chris Davis
SARASOTA, Fla. - Chris Davis doesn't think it's going to be much longer before he's cleared to resume throwing and gets back into the Orioles lineup as the final weeks play out in spring training. Davis is sidelined with discomfort in his right elbow/forearm, but an MRI Saturday didn't reveal any structural damage. He continues to receive treatment and was able to crack a few jokes this morning - starting with a mock meltdown into tears - while providing the latest update at his locker. "I...

Reviewing the first half of spring training

Reviewing the first half of spring training
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles have inched past the halfway point of spring training. More players will be removed from the camp roster, the competition for various jobs will be narrowed. Manager Buck Showalter said it's too early for a noticeable increase in "tempo." But it's coming. "After the off-day, I don't think we're quite that far into it yet," he said. "We've got 20-something days after the break." With Erick Salcedo reassigned to minor league camp, the in-house choices for...

Random thoughts and quotes as the Orioles enjoy a day off

Random thoughts and quotes as the Orioles enjoy a day off
SARASOTA, Fla. - The one off-day of spring training is here, with the Orioles closing the Ed Smith Stadium complex and being reintroduced to the concept of sleep. No games, no workouts, no media access. Some guys golf or fish. Others race to the airport to spend a day at home with their families or make plans for Disney World. The beach may beckon. A couple of players may need treatment for injuries, but it won't take up much of their morning. Chris Davis is shut down with a tender right...

More camp cuts and wrapping up a 10-8 win
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles have cut their camp roster to 60 players by reassigning pitchers Jason Gurka and Eddie Gamboa and catcher Audry Perez to the minor league complex. None of them were projected to head north with the team. Gabriel Ynoa struck out the first two Red Sox batters today before his start went downhill. He threw 26 pitches in the first inning, gave up back-to-back home runs in the second and was charged with six runs in the Orioles' 10-8 win - their fourth victory in a...

Mountcastle making impression at plate (O's win 10-8)

Mountcastle making impression at plate (O's win 10-8)
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles made three roster cuts yesterday and infielder Ryan Mountcastle remained in camp, his locker set up across the hall in the auxiliary clubhouse and his swing still producing loud noises. One of the top position prospects in the organization is 5-for-16 with three doubles and a home run this spring. The ball makes a certain sound when it leaves the bat, the kind that turns heads and the wind. "I think it's kind of affirmation of what everybody has told me and...

Latest roster cuts and updating Gentry, Davis and Hays

Latest roster cuts and updating Gentry, Davis and Hays
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles reassigned infielders Erick Salcedo and Garabez Rosa to minor league camp following yesterday's game in Clearwater. Salcedo was competing for a spot as the utility infielder. He impressed at second base and shortstop and also went 4-for-8 with a double. Rosa, who was 3-for-16 with a double and home run, played first base and is expected to remain at the position in the minors. "Salcedo can catch the ball," said manager Buck Showalter. "Very intelligent, a smart...

Teammates talk up Tillman's simulated game
SARASOTA, Fla. - Chris Tillman wanted feedback from his teammates following yesterday's simulated game at the Ed Smith Stadium complex. Give him the good and the bad and don't hold back. Mincing words serves no purpose as he eases back into competition. Tillman threw 42 pitches in two innings and drew positive reviews. Most important, they were honest reviews. "I thought he had a nice mix to his pitches," said Mark Trumbo. "Thought his changeup looked real nice. He dropped some really...

Who's next after Valencia?

Who's next after Valencia?
SARASOTA, Fla. - Don't expect Danny Valencia to be the last player plucked by the Orioles from the free agent market. Their enthusiasm is gaining momentum as they sort through the bin. They're up to their armpits in it. Players who weren't a consideration or didn't fill an identified need early in camp have become more appealing. Pedro Álvarez isn't a plus defender and the Orioles already have Mark Trumbo as their designated hitter, but he fell to them at a modest price. Valencia isn't...

Good news on Davis MRI and wrapping up a 4-2 win
CLEARWATER, Fla. - The MRI on Chris Davis' right elbow/forearm today didn't reveal any structural damage, according to manager Buck Showalter, and the first baseman is projected to be out only three to five days. Concerns about Davis were raised throughout the organization when the discomfort increased and it appeared that the issue may not have been muscular. "Anytime you've got something that's not healing and what they think, you worry about if there's something structurally in there,...
