The Orioles’ approach to fixing Craig Kimbrel isn’t working. A second reset hasn’t landed him back in the closer’s role. Fresh ideas aren’t in abundance.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde was asked before tonight’s game whether rookie Cade Povich could stay in the rotation or perhaps move to the bullpen. “I think we’ve got 40 games to go, and it’s 40 of day-to-day right now,” Hyde said. “Just kind of never know.
