Dylan Bundy named opening day starter (O's win 10-7)

Dylan Bundy named opening day starter (O's win 10-7)
SARASOTA, Fla. - One year after proving to the Orioles that he could stay healthy and in their rotation for an entire season, Dylan Bundy has been chosen as their opening day starter. He'll take the mound against the Twins on March 29 at Camden Yards. Manager Buck Showalter informed Bundy of his decision prior to today's game against the Red Sox at Ed Smith Stadium. "Buck called us (starters) into the office and kind of explained how things were going to work," he said. "Obviously, I'm...

Jones on Cobb: "We've long searched for someone of his caliber"

Jones on Cobb: "We've long searched for someone of his caliber"
TAMPA - Adam Jones only knew about Alex Cobb from the opposite dugout, the batter's box, the usual chatter that exists in pregame and among friends. He politely asked the media today to wait until he met Cobb before commenting on his new teammate. "I've only see him in battle between the lines," Jones said afterward. "We haven't said too many words while we were playing against each other. Nice, firm handshake, solid hug, very manly, very teammate-esque." So far, it's a solid scouting...

Davis ready to return to lineup

Davis ready to return to lineup
SARASOTA, Fla. - If it's left to Chris Davis, he will be in the Orioles lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays and celebrate his birthday with a home run and animated trip around the bases. Davis is confident that he's avoided a trip to the disabled list. The stiffness and discomfort in his right elbow/forearm has subsided and he's performing full baseball activities in anticipation of returning to first base this weekend. "I feel good, I feel really good," he said. "Midseason...

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...

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...

Britton set to throw again today

Britton set to throw again today
SARASOTA, Fla. - While Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop and pitcher Miguel Castro are sidelined indefinitely with elbow and knee conditions, respectively, closer Zach Britton is preparing for his second round of catch this morning as he slowly works his way back to the mound. Britton is following up on his first flat-ground throwing session on Thursday at the Ed Smith Stadium complex. "I think we're going to be on an every-other-day schedule, obviously depending on how I feel and things...

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...

Brach on Cashner: "I think it's a really good pickup for us"

Brach on Cashner: "I think it's a really good pickup for us"
SARASOTA, Fla. - Outfielders Crag Gentry, signed to a minor league deal last week, and DJ Stewart are early arrivals at camp. Andrew Cashner, signed yesterday to a two-year, $16 million contract with an option for 2020, has been assigned No. 54. Reliever Jimmy Yacabonis also is wearing 54, but those days are ... wait for it ... numbered. Brad Brach was Cashner's teammate in San Diego back in 2012-2013 and offered a nice scouting report this morning as media gathered at his locker. "He's a...

Eddie Gamboa on his commitment to the knuckleball

Eddie Gamboa on his commitment to the knuckleball
SARASOTA, Fla. - Eddie Gamboa has a better grip on his pitching future. Gamboa has conceded after much prodding from the Orioles that he needs to go exclusively with his knuckleball. No more mixing it in 50 percent of the time. No more fastball first and then the secondary stuff. If Gamboa is going to get back to the majors after appearing in seven games with the Rays in 2016, his only exposure to the highest level, he's going to do it strictly as a knuckleball pitcher. "Absolutely, yeah,"...

More on Orioles minicamp (2018 game times set)
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles' latest minicamp provided an opportunity for manager Buck Showalter and some of his coaches to check on the Ed Smith Stadium complex after it incurred damage from Hurricane Irma and with new sod being laid on the Camden Yards replica field. A scoreboard is going up later this winter and the batter's eye must be replaced. Netting beyond the outfield fence will save baseballs from being lost in the pond or oncoming traffic. Trees have been cleared out - some by...

More on the Rule 5 draft and coaches' contracts

More on the Rule 5 draft and coaches' contracts
As Monday's deadline approaches to protect players in the Rule 5 draft, the Orioles continue to deliberate on the number of additions to their 40-man roster. They have 10 openings with the removal of their free agents, so space isn't a concern. They won't protect that many players, but it's nice to have the flexibility. "We have a number of players under consideration," said executive vice president Dan Duquette. "The roster deadline is Monday, so we're going to work on that through the...

Orioles walk toward their 17th loss in 21 games (with quotes)

Orioles walk toward their 17th loss in 21 games (with quotes)
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Through four innings of tonight's game against the Rays, Orioles left-hander Wade Miley had struck out six batters and also issued five walks. He kept missing bats and the strike zone. He kept playing good pitcher, bad pitcher, but in a solo act. Miley was making his final start in 2017 and quite possibly his last with the Orioles, who hold a $12 million option for next season. Are they ready to walk away from Miley? Evan Longoria led off the fifth with a home run, Logan...

Tonight's draft and game

Tonight's draft and game
NEW YORK - Maybe the start of the First-Year Player Draft tonight will serve as a nice distraction. Jiggling keys hasn't worked. The Orioles hold the 21st, 60th and 74th picks, which will be announced tonight. I won't pretend to know everyone who's on their board, but they'll load up on pitching again this week. College arms continue to bring the most appeal because they're closer to being major league ready. And the Orioles can't wait around if they're not going to spend on...

Can Bundy bring what's needed again today?

Can Bundy bring what's needed again today?
Imagine that it's January and you're counting down the days until spring training, totally unaware that injuries would rob the Orioles of their No. 1 starter and closer. Or that Kevin Gausman would get off to a slow start and Ubaldo Jiménez would be headed back to the bullpen. Perhaps you were braced for Jiménez's latest removal from the rotation, but he also may have raised hopes with his 2.31 ERA and 0.829 WHIP in September. You want to believe. There are 50 million reasons to be...

Close losses, Machado doubles up and tonight's matchup

Close losses, Machado doubles up and tonight's matchup
HOUSTON - The Orioles used to be a team that won the close games. They had a knack, but now it's a knock against them. Eleven of their last 12 losses have been by two runs or fewer. They were 8-1 in one-run games, but now are 8-8. And they're no longer in second place, with the Red Sox passing them last night. In their last 15 road games, the Orioles have gone 4-11 to lower their record to 10-14 away from home. The stretch of 11 losses in their last 14 games began with the disastrous ninth...

Duquette says Machado "shouldn't have to fear for his livelihood"

Duquette says Machado "shouldn't have to fear for his livelihood"
BOSTON - Orioles manager Buck Showalter said he thought about removing third baseman Manny Machado from last night's game against the Red Sox after the first inning due to concerns about the All-Star's safety in the growing feud between the teams. Showalter considered the idea after a Chris Sale pitch zipped behind Machado's knees. Machado talked him out of it and homered in the seventh inning. "I took Manny down the runway there after the first inning because I was leaning toward taking...

Bleier turns down WBC, Davis scratched from lineup

Bleier turns down WBC, Davis scratched from lineup
SARASOTA, Fla. - Left-hander Richard Bleier went with his head instead of his heart. Bleier would have been honored to pitch again for Team Israel in the World Baseball Classic, as he did in the qualifying round in 2013, and he had a chance this week to fly out to Japan for the second round after being placed in the designated pitcher pool. Waiting, not wading. Bleier stood at his locker this morning, further proof that he declined the invitation. "I just decided that I wasn't going to go...

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Orioles manager Buck Showalter doesn't expect right-hander Dylan Bundy to require any major adjustments while going from a relief role to Sunday's starting pitcher. Bundy basically has been working on a starter's schedule with the amount of rest between outings. "It was part of the process," Showalter said while explain the decision to start Bundy. "Really, he's not going to be doing a whole lot different than what he's been doing. He's had three or four days...
