Orioles return home hounded by questions regarding rotation, bullpen and bats
NEW YORK – Players changed into their home white uniforms last week at Camden Yards and filed out of the clubhouse and onto the outfield grass for the annual team photo. Closer Félix Bautista was there despite the elbow surgery that cost him the entire season. Danny Coulombe joked with Jordan Westburg, wondering if they’d be asked to leave. An ag
Mitchell Parker has endured through three disastrous starts in the last five weeks, once failing to get out of the first inning, once failing to get out of the third inning and most recently getting torched by the Phillies for nine runs. Those outings could’ve completely spoiled the left-hander’s rookie season, left him spiraling out of control or
When the Nationals traded Hunter Harvey to the Royals, there was concern about replacing such an important member of the bullpen. When they traded Dylan Floro to the Diamondbacks, the challenge of getting the ball to closer Kyle Finnegan became even more daunting. And when Derek Law landed on the injured list, the situation looked downright bleak.
The Orioles have made the following roster moves: Claimed INF Emmanuel Rivera off waivers from the Miami Marlins. He has not yet reported.Designated INF/OF Terrin Vavra for assignment. The Orioles’ 40-man roster currently has 40 players.
NEW YORK – What to do with the rotation is a major issue for the Orioles that yielded for a spell this afternoon to a slightly bigger concern. Would they get a hit? Would they put a runner on base? Mets starter Sean Manaea retired the first 17 batters before nailing Jackson Holliday with a 94.7 mph fastball. Manaea tried a first-pitch sinker to Aus
The Nationals have scored 14 runs over their last six games. It will not surprise you to learn they’ve gone 1-5 in those games. Scoring runs is good. Not scoring runs is bad.

The Orioles have gone four straight series against National League opponents without winning one, but that could end today as they play the New York Mets at Citi Field. Since they won back-to-back series against Atlanta and Philadelphia in mid-June, the Orioles have gone 0-3 versus the Chicago Cubs, 1-2 at Miami and 1-2 against San Diego before goi

NEW YORK – The Orioles selected the contract of left-hander Cole Irvin’s from Triple-A Norfolk so that he can start today’s game against the Mets, his first appearance in the majors since Game 2 of a June 29 doubleheader. His last start was June 30. Irvin is 6-5 with a 4.85 ERA and 1.405 WHIP in 21 games (14 starts). He made two starts with Norfolk
On the day the Orioles lost another starter to the injured list and their total pitchers on the IL grew to eight, they scored nine runs. That was important as the Mets rallied late, but the Orioles won 9-5 and with the news that right-hander Zach Eflin joined a few others on that IL, more big nights from the Baltimore offense would be very welcomed
