Showalter speaks after today's intrasquad game
SARASOTA, Fla. - Mike Wright, Chris Lee, Jeff Ferrell, Joely Rodríguez, Donnie Hart, Jimmy Yacabonis and Pedro Araujo are scheduled to pitch Friday afternoon in the exhibition opener against the Rays at Ed Smith Stadium. Wright will work the first two innings if the Rays allow it. I've lost count of how many times someone has referenced a "big spring" for Wright, who's out of minor league options. "Sometimes, it works as a real positive," said manager Buck Showalter. "I've seen...

Hays stands out in intrasquad game
SARASOTA, Fla. - Austin Hays led off today's intrasquad game with a triple and scored on Cedric Mullins' liner to right field to account for all of the scoring in the Black Team's 1-0 four-inning win over the Orange Team before a bunch of club officials, players and media. Hays, the organization's minor league Player of the Year, went 2-for-3 with a run scored. David Hess worked two innings and allowed one run and one hit, with one walk and three strikeouts. He threw 10 of 11 pitches for...

Susac returns to Orioles clubhouse after hospital stay

Susac returns to Orioles clubhouse after hospital stay
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles are catching Caleb Joseph and Austin Wynns in today's intrasquad game and they're using Audry Perez and Chance Sisco as designated hitters. Andrew Susac will settle for being in the clubhouse instead of a hospital bed. Susac returned to the facility earlier this week after missing Sunday's workout and being treated for a staph infection. Today marked the first time that the media saw him at his locker. "Way better," he said. "Two days ago really was a big...

Rasmus: "I feel like I still have a little bit left to give to the game"

Rasmus: "I feel like I still have a little bit left to give to the game"
SARASOTA, Fla. - Colby Rasmus pulled back his long hair this morning, slipped a cap over it and declared that he's ready to play baseball again. The Orioles hung a No. 28 jersey in his locker. They're also putting a lot of trust in him. Seven months after he left the Rays and returned to his Alabama home to be with his wife and three children, Rasmus agreed to terms with the Orioles on a minor league contract and will compete for a spot in the outfield. He can platoon in right, he can back up...

Machado on Beckham: "I think he looks great"

Machado on Beckham: "I think he looks great"
SARASOTA, Fla. - The work is done in the morning and early afternoons, ground balls hit to Tim Beckham at third base under a hot Florida sun on the Camden Yards replica field. The first Grapefruit League game hasn't been played and grades remain incomplete, but the transition so far has been seamless. Manny Machado has an ideal vantage point over at shortstop, Beckham's old position, and he's impressed with how his teammate is handling the move both mentally and physically. "I think he...

Showalter on Tillman's side session, outfield defense (updated)

Showalter on Tillman's side session, outfield defense (updated)
SARASOTA, Fla. - Outfielder Colby Rasmus is taking his physical in Sarasota today and his minor league deal won't be announced until the Orioles have the results in hand. Update: The Orioles announced the deal. Rasmus increases the camp total to 63 players. Rasmus opened the 2017 season on the Rays disabled list following surgery on his left hip and he developed tendinitis in June. The Orioles must be convinced that his head is all right. The Rays placed Rasmus on the restricted list in July...

Orioles agree to terms with Rasmus on minor league deal

Orioles agree to terms with Rasmus on minor league deal
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles' search for a left-handed hitting corner outfielder has led them to Colby Rasmus. Rasmus and the Orioles have agreed to terms on a minor league deal pending the completion of a physical, according to a source. Rasmus, 31, could platoon in right field and back up at all three spots. He's a career .252/.318/.463 hitter against right-handers and a .211/.290/.366 hitter versus lefties. Most of Rasmus' experience is in center field, where he's made 724 starts, but...

Tillman: "It feels good to finally be able to join the team"
SARASOTA, Fla. - Chris Tillman no longer will be a spectator in spring training. Hidden behind the walls of the Ed Smith Stadium complex while negotiations continued on a new contract, Tillman is free to join the workouts and prepare to join a rotation that's added two starters in less than a week. "It is a relief," he said this morning while standing outside an entrance to the clubhouse. "I've been stuck inside looking out the windows for the last three days, so it feels good to finally...

Wright arrives in camp in the right frame of mind

Wright arrives in camp in the right frame of mind
SARASOTA, Fla. - Mike Wright keeps hearing that it's an important spring for him, followed by an important season. Stacking more pressure in case he feels the urge to exhale. He's out of minor league options and there's an indentation from him in one of the seats on the Triple-A shuttle. The Orioles have filled four of their rotation spots and are receptive to adding another starter while also creating an in-house camp competition that includes Wright, their former third-round pick out of...

Orioles announce Chris Tillman signing

Orioles announce Chris Tillman signing
SARASOTA, Fla. - The deal is official. Chris Tillman is coming back to the Orioles for the 2018 season, a match that made sense since the early days of free agency. Tillman passed his physical and signed his one-year contract worth a guaranteed $3 million. Incentives can push it to $10 million. There was a delay in the Orioles getting the necessary paperwork, which forced Tillman to miss yesterday's workout. The delay carried through the night. But nothing that threatened to nix the...

SARASOTA, Fla. - Chris Tillman spent this morning at the Ed Smith Stadium complex, but he hasn't been cleared to join workouts until his new contract becomes official. Both sides are in a holding pattern, but an announcement could come later today. The Orioles are waiting to hear back from Tillman's representative. Tillman has agreed to a one-year deal worth a guaranteed $3 million. He can earn another $7 million in incentives. Catcher Andrew Susac will be released from the hospital today...

This, that and the other
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles are expected to announce later today Chris Tillman's signing to a one-year deal. They don't disclose the terms, but as I reported yesterday, he's guaranteed $3 million and can earn another $7 million in incentives. There was no confirmation yesterday, perhaps because the club was waiting for the results of his physical or the deal needed to be approved by Major League Baseball and the commissioner's office was busy with pace of play and arbitration...

SARASOTA, Fla. - While the Orioles are staying quiet about Chris Tillman today, with no announcement made on their agreement, executive vice president Dan Duquette isn't necessarily done with the pitching market. Duquette will continue to check on available starters despite the Orioles guaranteeing Tillman $3 million with a chance to increase the overall value to $10 million, and Andrew Cashner $16 million with a chance to max out at $41 million. The club would like to insert a left-hander...

SARASOTA, Fla. - With a left-handed hitting outfielder on their shopping list and the first full-squad workout held later today, the Orioles announced that they've signed veteran Alex Presley to a minor league deal and invited him to camp. The Orioles have 62 players at the Ed Smith Stadium complex. Presley is a career .263/.306/.388 hitter in eight major league seasons with the Pirates, Twins, Astros, Brewers and Tigers.

Chris Davis won't be caught looking at same slump

Chris Davis won't be caught looking at same slump
SARASOTA, Fla. - Chris Davis walked into the Orioles clubhouse this morning with a thick moustache and a clear head. He's determined to keep one of them. The facial hair can go, along with the Wyatt Earp jokes, but the former home run champ won't allow his confidence to waver again, for distractions to set in, and a slump to bury him and the team. In a lineup filled with players who swing from the heels - tee it high and let it fly - Davis is the aggressive exception. He needs to regain...

Asher trying to regain club's confidence as camp continues
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles will conduct their first full-squad workout this afternoon after the remaining players in camp have passed their physicals and are cleared for baseball activities. Utility infielder Éngelb Vielma isn't expected to arrive until perhaps later in the week due to a visa issue in Venezuela. Everyone else should be in camp. How could practically every team in baseball claim Vielma over the last few months and no one applied for a visa? Chris Davis and Craig Gentry...

Notes on Susac, catching options and split-squad starters (update)

Notes on Susac, catching options and split-squad starters (update)
SARASOTA, Fla. - Orioles catcher Andrew Susac could miss at least three or four days with "a possible staph infection," according to manager Buck Showalter, who met with the media following the fifth workout of spring training. Susac's condition worsened overnight and he wasn't on the field this morning, the latest health issue to strike the former Giants and Brewers catcher. "Something we're concerned about," Showalter said. "We're not sure if it's a staph infection yet, but we want...

SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles held an abbreviated workout this morning with no bullpen sessions on the agenda. Manager Buck Showalter ran various fielding drills, including bunt coverage. However, catcher Andrew Susac wasn't a participant due to an undisclosed physical issue. Showalter will meet with the media at 12:30 p.m. and provide an update on Susac, who came to the Orioles in a Feb. 2 trade with the Brewers. Hindered by injuries in the past - he went on the disabled list last year with a...
