Nine up, nine down for Kevin Gausman (O's win 4-2)

Nine up, nine down for Kevin Gausman (O's win 4-2)
CLEARWATER, Fla. - Kevin Gausman made it through today's start without suffering any cuts. He simply tore through the Phillies lineup for three innings. Gausman retired all nine batters with five strikeouts. His fastball was clocked at 94-97 mph on the stadium radar gun, peaking twice to the final batter he faced, J.P. Crawford, who struck out. He was downright nasty while becoming the first Orioles starter to complete three innings. Dylan Bundy worked 2 1/3 yesterday against the Pirates in...

Davis to undergo MRI, Lee optioned and other notes (O's up 1-0)

Davis to undergo MRI, Lee optioned and other notes (O's up 1-0)
CLEARWATER, Fla. - Orioles manager Buck Showalter said first baseman Chris Davis will undergo an MRI this afternoon on his right elbow/forearm area due to soreness that's increased in severity over the past few days. Davis has been restricted to the designated hitter role to avoid throwing. He's 2-for-13 with one home run, three RBIs, three walks and seven strikeouts. "That elbow is not managing quite like he had hoped," Showalter said. "It was sore again, so it's not moving forward like...

Brach's debut and Presley's uniform digit

Brach's debut and Presley's uniform digit
CLEARWATER, Fla. - Reliever Brad Brach threw a bullpen session yesterday and confirmed that his first exhibition appearance comes Sunday afternoon against the Red Sox at Ed Smith Stadium. Brach is fine physically. He's just on a more deliberate pace, which isn't uncommon in Orioles camp. Darren O'Day didn't make his debut until Feb. 28. Closer Zach Britton also is held back each spring, though his Achilles surgery forced him on the 60-day disabled list. "Just taking it a little slower,"...

Valencia signs minor league deal, prepares for competition

Valencia signs minor league deal, prepares for competition
SARASOTA, Fla. - Danny Valencia has arrived at the Ed Smith Stadium complex, hugging teammates from his past who are here and dismissing the idea that his minor league deal will lead him to Triple-A Norfolk. He has every intention of playing in Baltimore this summer. The Orioles announced Valencia's signing this morning, which includes an invitation to major league camp. Valencia indicated that he'd exercise the opt-out clause in his contract, the date most likely near the end of March. Asked...

Today's Orioles agenda and more on Valencia

Today's Orioles agenda and more on Valencia
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles are making the second of their three trips to Clearwater today to play the Phillies. No split-squad action, however, so I'll be on the road. I didn't pack gray pants, but I'm still leaving the home facility. Chris Tillman will throw his two-inning simulated game on one of the back fields at the Ed Smith Stadium complex and manager Buck Showalter will watch before heading to Spectrum Field, where he'll update the media. My guess, and it comes with a spoiler...

Pitching updates and wrapping up a 10-8 win

Pitching updates and wrapping up a 10-8 win
SARASOTA, Fla. - Orioles right-hander Hunter Harvey will make his next start on Tuesday against the Twins in Fort Myers. Dylan Bundy starts Wednesday, though he probably will be hidden from the Rays in Port Charlotte. I wrote earlier today that Gabriel Ynoa starts Sunday against the Red Sox in Sarasota. Chris Tillman is still scheduled to throw a two-inning simulated game on Saturday and Andrew Cashner will throw a three-inning simulated game on Tuesday, if you're scoring at home. The Orioles...

Machado: "I'm just going out there and enjoying myself" (O's win 10-8)

Machado: "I'm just going out there and enjoying myself" (O's win 10-8)
SARASOTA, Fla. - Usually a slow starter in camp, Manny Machado has been on such a tear at the plate this spring that he's joking about having to tap the brakes and save a little for later. Machado had a single, run-scoring double and three-run homer today in three plate appearances before heading to the clubhouse. A guy on fire to this degree could set off the sprinkler system. With eight hits in 13 at-bats, Machado will carry a .615 average into his next game, most likely on Sunday at home...

Bundy allows five runs in two innings (with quotes, O's up 10-7)
SARASOTA, Fla. - Dylan Bundy filled the strike zone in the first inning and the bases in the second. The result was another outing that produced an ugly pitching line. The Pirates scored four runs off Bundy in the second inning to take a 4-1 lead, a powerful counterpunch following Manny Machado's RBI double in the bottom of the first. Colin Moran had an RBI double in the third and Bundy was charged with five runs and seven hits in 2 1/3 innings. Colby Rasmus homered to center field leading off...

Orioles agree to minor league deal with Valencia (and notes)
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles are bringing back Danny Valencia on a minor league deal pending a medical review, according to a source. Valencia will take his physical on Saturday. By reaching the majors, Valencia will be guaranteed $1.2 million with a chance to earn $3 million in incentives, per USA Today. Valencia, 33, appeared in 130 games with the Mariners last summer and batted .256/.314/.411 with 19 doubles, three triples, 15 home runs and 66 RBIs in 500 plate appearances. He's also played...

SARASOTA, Fla. - Chris Davis is leading off today and serving as the designated hitter for the Orioles' Grapefruit League game against the Pirates. Don't read too much into it. He won't bat first on opening day. Davis has some tightness in his right forearm that's limiting him to DH duty. Colby Rasmus moves down to sixth in the order. Mark Trumbo is playing first base and batting seventh. For the Orioles Chris Davis DH Trey Mancini LF Manny Machado SS Adam Jones CF Jonathan Schoop 2B Colby...

More thoughts on the rotation and some of its candidates

More thoughts on the rotation and some of its candidates
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles will play two games today, but only one counts in the fake standings. Miguel Castro is starting a B game in the morning on Field 4, the Camden Yards replica with the batter's eye that's still under construction. So is the rotation and Castro wants to join it, but first he must prove that his knees and back are fine and he no longer has to be treated with such care. It's early to suggest that anyone has really fallen behind, but it's a shorter spring training and...

Wrapping up a 5-2 win

Wrapping up a 5-2 win
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. - Orioles manager Buck Showalter noted the progress today made by Rule 5 pick Nestor Cortes Jr. One run allowed over two innings in both starts, but not a duplication. "I thought he was a little better this time out," Showalter said. "He can do a lot of things with the baseball. He's presenting himself as advertised. I thought he was a little better today. That was good to see. "He's got good command of the fastball, works fast and can spin the ball. He'll need all...

Cortes allows one run in two innings - again (O's win 5-2)
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. - The battle for the fifth spot in the rotation won't be decided until much later this month, with the possibility still alive that the Orioles sign another starter. In the meantime, Rule 5 pick Nestor Cortes Jr. can only state his own case and try to gain the trust of the organization's decision-makers. Cortes allowed one run over two innings for the second time in two starts, with a home run by Tampa Bay's Jesús Sucre tying the game 1-1. He labored in the second...

Pregame notes on Gausman, Cashner, Hays and more (tied 1-1)
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. - Kevin Gausman will make his next start Saturday afternoon against the Phillies in Clearwater. No need to push him back following the home plate collision in his debut. "He's good, ready to go," said manager Buck Showalter. "We got lucky there." Andrew Cashner impressed observers during today's two-inning simulated game in Sarasota. Cashner faced Mark Trumbo, Tim Beckham and Craig Gentry and he shattered a couple of bats. "Got some firewood for tonight," Showalter...

Hays shut down from baseball activities for three days

Hays shut down from baseball activities for three days
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. - Austin Hays will be shut down for three days after receiving an injection yesterday behind his right shoulder to alleviate discomfort that's kept him away from the outfield since the intrasquad game on Feb. 22 in Sarasota. Hays has served as the designated hitter in two Grapefruit League games, with a late switch on Tuesday removing him from right field. He underwent an MRI yesterday on his shoulder/lat area that revealed some inflammation and led to the...

More mashing expected of Mancini in 2018
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles are boarding a bus today for Port Charlotte and if it seems like they were just there, you've been paying attention to the schedule and game coverage. Two days ago. Same ride down I-75. Under an hour if the traffic and law enforcement cooperate. Left-hander Nestor Cortes Jr. makes his second start of the spring after allowing one run in two innings against the Twins. Trey Mancini probably won't wear the gray pants today after going 2-for-3 yesterday with a single...

Wrapping up a 10-9 loss
SARASOTA, Fla. - Orioles first baseman Chris Davis switched to designated hitter today to accommodate a sore right forearm and launched a three-run homer to left-center field. The bat is fine. "I just had a little tightness in my forearm," Davis said after the Orioles' 10-9 loss to the Cardinals at Ed Smith Stadium. "I noticed it a few days ago. I think it's a combination of sleeping with my arm tucked up underneath me and not really being able to get it stretched out the next day. Just...
