Urías and Westburg in today's Orioles lineup

The Orioles will try again today to clinch a playoff berth, needing a win over the Tigers and Mariners loss in Texas. That’s all it takes. Seattle’s game starts an hour later, so the Orioles might have to linger at the ballpark. Infielders Ramón Urías and Jordan Westburg were reinstated from the injured list today after completing their rehab assig
The Orioles have made the following roster moves: Reinstated INF Ramón Urías from the 10-day Injured List (right ankle sprain).Reinstated INF Jordan Westburg from the 10-day Injured List (right hand fracture).Optioned OF Daniel Johnson to Triple-A Norfolk.Optioned INF Livan Soto to Triple-A Norfolk.
The Kansas City Royals lost again, so the Orioles' four-game lead for the first American League wild card berth is still intact. But they had a chance to build some real momentum and get their mojo back. It sure looked like they were doing exactly that, until they were not. Most Valuable Oriole Gunnar Henderson doubled in two runs in the last of th
The unpredictability of baseball, and so often the Orioles organization, were on full display again yesterday. Trying to guess along is a dangerous game, bound to burn its participants. News leaked that the Orioles were optioning corner infielder Coby Mayo to Triple-A Norfolk, and the immediate assumption had utility infielder Ramón Urías rejoining
The baseball math can’t be manipulated tonight to give the Orioles a playoff-clinching scenario. It only worked if they won. Cade Povich held the Tigers to two runs for the second time in less than a week and the Orioles rallied for two in the ninth to send the game into extras, but the Tigers scored twice against Yennier Cano in the 10th and won 6
CHICAGO – MacKenzie Gore’s emotions already were running high long before he took the mound this afternoon at Wrigley Field. Gore is close friends with CJ Abrams, the fellow first-round picks of the Padres forever joined at the hip for their inclusion in the August 2022 blockbuster that sent Juan Soto and Josh Bell to San Diego. Now, here was the 2
If you didn't think a team could erase a magic number of three in one day, you are wrong. The Orioles begin today with a magic number of three to wrap up a 2024 MLB playoff spot. They can get there with a win over Detroit this afternoon and a loss by Seattle tonight at 7:05 p.m. A potential Clinchmas is here for an Orioles team that heading into Th
Major League Baseball has adjusted its playoff math and the Orioles actually could clinch a berth tonight rather than Sunday. The magic number remains at three, but the Orioles will reach the postseason again with a win this afternoon against the Tigers and a Mariners loss tonight in Texas. They’d claim the tie-breaker over Detroit in a complicated
Winning one Most Valuable Orioles award is quite special. Doing it two seasons in a row takes Gunnar Henderson to a whole new level. By doing that today he joins a list littered with some of the best players in Orioles history. Eddie Murray once did this five years in a row from 1981-1985. Others to get two in a row are Adam Jones (2011-12), Rafael
CHICAGO – CJ Abrams’ 2024 season is over, and not for any baseball-related reasons. The Nationals optioned Abrams to Triple-A Rochester this morning, a stunning transaction at this late stage of the season that club officials said was made not for performance or service-time reasons. “It’s an internal issue,” manager Davey Martinez said. “I’m not g
Cedric Mullins is back in the Orioles’ lineup today, playing center field and batting second. Mullins took early batting practice on the field this afternoon with head athletic trainer Brian Ebel watching and also ran the bases. Mullins wasn’t available last night due to neck soreness caused by his collision Thursday with right fielder Austin Slate
