The lack of fresh relievers impacted starter Trevor Rogers. The Orioles optioned Rogers early this afternoon within a bevy of roster moves that included calling up left-hander Nick Vespi and selecting right-hander Matt Bowman’s contract from Triple-A Norfolk. Rogers’ next turn in the rotation was Sunday but the spot became listed as TBA. “Just kind

Right-handed reliever Matt Bowman, if he gets into a game with the Orioles, would be pitching for his fourth MLB team this season. He got into five games in April with Minnesota, four with Arizona in May and one with Seattle in June. He has actually already pitched this year at Oriole Park, throwing two scoreless on May 12 for the Diamondbacks. Now

Upon returning to the dugout following his three-run homer Wednesday night, Luis García Jr. approached his manager with a wide smile. “Before the at-bat, he had mentioned to me to look for a ball up,” García said, via interpreter Octavio Martinez. “And the pitch that I hit out was actually up. So I came back and told him: ‘It was right where you sa

The Nationals won Wednesday night in convincing fashion, thanks to an effective and efficient start from Mitchell Parker and a consistent offensive attack highlighted by Luis Gar

The Orioles keep looking to get on a hot streak, playing solid and clean baseball. Given a chance to do that Wednesday afternoon, win a series and bring some momentum back to Camden Yards, they failed to.  It was a brutal series loss at Citi Field with two walk-off losses, both with Seranthony Domínguez on the mound.
