Mancini returns to Orioles lineup

Mancini returns to Orioles lineup
Orioles rookie Trey Mancini is in tonight's lineup after missing last night's game with a bruised left knee. X-rays were negative and Mancini is in left field. Seth Smith is the designated hitter and Joey Rickard is in right field. Welington Castillo is catching, which would have happened no matter how Caleb Joseph's hand was feeling. Joseph was hit last night and X-rays were negative. Tim Beckham is 11-for-16 with the Orioles, the first player in franchise history to collect 11 hits in his...

Orioles acquire Brallan Pérez from Rangers

Orioles acquire Brallan Pérez from Rangers
The Orioles moved more international signing bonus slots in an attempt to improve their depth at the minor league level. Infielder Brallan Pérez, 21, has been acquired from the Rangers for the bonus slots and assigned to Single-A Frederick. The team made the announcement early this afternoon. Pérez, a native of Colombia, is a career .292/.388/.354 hitter in 274 games over five minor league seasons. He's played at three levels this season, mostly at Single-A Down East, where he hit...

Thoughts on the roster and how it can change

Thoughts on the roster and how it can change
Figuring out how the Orioles are going to reconstruct their roster has become a game within the game. Manager Buck Showalter wants to go back to a four-man bench, especially with Trey Mancini day-to-day with a bruised left knee. He has six starters and seven relievers, and placing Chris Tillman in the bullpen - if that's the move - only shuffles the deck. Same number of cards. Ryan Flaherty will play again tonight for Double-A Bowie, the games located near his home in Portland, Maine. He's...

Upton slam off Givens gives Tigers 5-2 win over Orioles (with quotes)

Upton slam off Givens gives Tigers 5-2 win over Orioles (with quotes)
The Orioles' rotation got its second wind tonight after a brief hiccup. The gut punch that followed left an entire team doubled over. Manny Machado hit his first home run since the break and it broke a tie in the third inning, and Kevin Gausman extended his streak of quality starts to four, but Justin Upton hit a grand slam off Mychal Givens in the eighth to give the Tigers a 5-2 win before an announced crowd of 22,882 at Camden Yards. The Orioles were five outs away from winning their sixth...

Showalter on Tillman: "If Chris says he's fine, I believe him" (O's down 5-2)

Showalter on Tillman: "If Chris says he's fine, I believe him" (O's down 5-2)
Part of manager Buck Showalter's day was spent chatting with Chris Tillman, who didn't record an out in the third inning last night and was charged with five earned runs (seven total) to raise his ERA to 8.10. Showalter said he was trying to get "some feedback" from Tillman - what he's feeling and thinking. "Got a better idea," Showalter said. "Always try to talk to guys when they've had a couple of starts or whatever that haven't been what they're capable of. "Nobody understands it...

Mancini's bruised knee keeping him out of lineup

Mancini's bruised knee keeping him out of lineup
Orioles rookie Trey Mancini is out of the lineup tonight after fouling a ball off his left knee during last night's 7-5 loss to the Tigers. Mancini has a bruise below his kneecap and said he was limping this morning. "I finished up the game and it was not too bad, but then today it was pretty tough limping around a little bit, but it's not anything crazy at all," he said. "Definitely think I'll be able to get back in the lineup tomorrow. "I've just been doing treatment on it. It's just...

Trey Mancini begins tonight's game on the bench as the Orioles continue their series against the Tigers at Camden Yards.

Craig Gentry is in left field and Joey Rickard is in right against Tigers right-hander Justin Verlander. Seth Smith is the designated hitter. Shortstop Tim Beckham moves up from sixth to fifth in the order. Caleb Joseph is catching Kevin Gausman. Left-hander DL Hall, the...

Mills on Givens: "Good stuff and it's coupled with confidence"

Mills on Givens: "Good stuff and it's coupled with confidence"
Mychal Givens is providing the ultimate example of a pitcher who's picking up right where he left off. From last year's wild card game in Toronto to a dominant 2017 regular season. And without the hassles at customs. Givens retired all seven Blue Jays that he faced at Rogers Centre, striking out three of them, before the Orioles lost 5-2 in 11 innings. (In case you are unaware, Zach Britton didn't pitch and Edwin Encarnacion hit a three-run homer off Ubaldo Jiménez in the 11th. Michael...

Wrapping up a 7-5 loss

Wrapping up a 7-5 loss
The Orioles kept chipping away tonight at the Tigers' substantial early lead. They were reduced to mining for anything positive while losing a game and valuable ground in the wild card chase. Miguel Castro was outstanding in relief of starter Chris Tillman, working a career-high six scoreless innings and allowing only one hit. Tim Beckham had a costly fielding error, but he also went 3-for-4 with a double and his first Orioles home run. Craig Gentry had two hits, twice stole third base and...

Tillman's troubles overshadow triple play (O's lose 7-5)

Tillman's troubles overshadow triple play (O's lose 7-5)
The Orioles have turned two triple plays this season, but they can't turn around Chris Tillman. No matter how hard everyone tries. A group effort brings glimmers of hope and more despair. Tillman failed to record an out in the third inning and was charged with five earned runs and seven total to put the Orioles behind 7-0 and raise his ERA to 8.10. And the rotation's recent roll has been halted. Rain continues to torment the Orioles and anyone who dares to step inside Camden Yards. It comes...

Mancini cleaning up, Showalter reflecting (O's down 2-0)
Trey Mancini continues to bat cleanup for the Orioles while Mark Trumbo is on the disabled list and the opponents keep starting left-handers. Mancini is nestled between Jonathan Schoop and Chris Davis as the Orioles begin their four-game series against the Tigers, who are sending Matthew Boyd to the mound. With an infield hit and double last night, Mancini raised his season average to .302 with a .351 on-base percentage and .524 slugging percentage. He's collected seven hits in his last 18...

Trumbo still expects to come off disabled list in Anaheim

Trumbo still expects to come off disabled list in Anaheim
Mark Trumbo threw today on the field and soon will be cleared to take batting practice and go on a short injury rehab assignment as he nears a return to the active roster. The Orioles still seem confident that Trumbo will be ready to come off the disabled list when he's eligible on Wednesday in Anaheim. "First time felt pretty much pain-free today," said manager Buck Showalter. "He'll start with some trunk and rotational stuff. Hopefully, headed toward BP and stuff soon. Try to work it out...

Orioles and Tigers lineups
The Orioles begin a four-game series tonight against the Tigers with a chance to return to .500 for the first time since June 29. Manager Buck Showalter is breaking out his right-handed lineup against Tigers left-hander Matthew Boyd, with Craig Gentry in left field, Joey Rickard in right and Trey Mancini as the designated hitter. Tim Beckham continues to bat sixth as the shortstop. The rotation has allowed three earned runs in the last 35 2/3 innings, lowering its ERA from 5.98 to 5.65....

Tillman's turn in the rotation

Tillman's turn in the rotation
Chris Tillman will be facing the Tigers tonight on five days' rest with Jeremy Hellickson joining the rotation and no one coming out of it. This can be construed as good and bad news, based on track records and history. Let's start off in a positive direction. Tillman is 6-0 with a 2.45 ERA and 1.023 WHIP in nine career starts against the Tigers over 58 2/3 innings, and he was on the mound for Game 1 of the 2014 American League Division Series, which the Orioles swept. Tillman was charged...

Hellickson shines in debut and Orioles sweep (with quotes)

Hellickson shines in debut and Orioles sweep (with quotes)
The pressure of joining a new team couldn't fluster Jeremy Hellickson. Nor could a 35-minute rain delay in the third inning or an opponent that, before arriving in Baltimore, was the hottest team in baseball. Hellickson's debut was a rousing success, with the veteran right-hander shutting out the Royals over seven innings to continue the rotation's roll in a 6-0 victory at Camden Yards. The Orioles completed the sweep and have won five in a row, their longest streak since a six-game run from...

The rain has stopped at Camden Yards, the sun is shining and the grounds crew prepared the field for tonight's game. You'd never know that it was pouring rain less than an hour ago. The Orioles are in a stretch of facing four left-handed starters in the span of five games, with the Rangers' Martin Perez closing out the weekend series in Arlington, the Royals sending Danny Duffy and Jason Vargas to the mound at Camden Yards and the Tigers opening their series Thursday night with Matthew...

Early notes on Flaherty, Santander, Rickard, catchers and more

Early notes on Flaherty, Santander, Rickard, catchers and more
Not much to report this afternoon from Camden Yards as the Orioles took batting practice beneath a threatening sky. A light rain began to fall and the tarp was unrolled at 5:03 p.m. as players headed indoors. Ryan Flaherty started at second base today at Single-A Frederick and went 2-for-4. Reports say he threw much better. Flaherty will work out with the Orioles on Thursday and likely head to Triple-A Norfolk. His rehab assignment ends on Aug. 15, but manager Buck Showalter is hoping that...

Can Hellickson keep rotation on a roll?

Can Hellickson keep rotation on a roll?
The Jeremy Hellickson era officially begins tonight at Camden Yards. Hellickson is making his first start since the Orioles acquired him from the Phillies late Friday night. He hasn't pitched since July 22, when he faced the Brewers in Philadelphia and allowed six runs in five innings. It was the second consecutive start with Hellickson lasting five innings. He had worked seven, six, 6 1/3 and six in his previous four outings. Hellickson was at his best in the first month of the season, when...

Bundy goes career-high eight innings in 7-2 win (with quotes)

Bundy goes career-high eight innings in 7-2 win (with quotes)
Orioles manager Buck Showalter may not have intended to set up a competition for rotation spots. He's just planning to start Jeremy Hellickson on Wednesday and eventually go with five, however it shakes out. Dylan Bundy isn't on the bubble. He isn't pitching for a job. Others may feel a bit uneasy, but the only uncertainty with him is how the Orioles provide the occasional rest. In his first start since allowing a career-high seven runs against the Astros, Bundy rationed the red-hot Royals...
