Roster move, tonight's game and more (Jimenez to start)

The Orioles will announce their remaining roster move today, with right-hander Mike Wright reporting from Triple-A Norfolk. That is, unless there's something else in the works that we're not anticipating. It's been known to happen.

The 25-man roster will be back to capacity.

We still need to find out whether Wright is starting or going to the bullpen. The Orioles have wanted him to get the ball every five days and seemed committed to keeping him in Norfolk's rotation. His arrival at Camden Yards would appear to signal that he's starting tonight, but you know what happens when you assume.

Wright hasn't started for the Orioles since June 17, when he faced the Blue Jays at Camden Yards and allowed eight runs and six hits in 3 2/3 innings. He started against the Angels on May 20 and surrendered two earned runs (four total) and five hits in 5 1/3 innings in the Orioles' 9-4 win in Anaheim.

In Wright's other career start against the Angels in his major league debut, he allowed four hits in 7 1/3 scoreless innings, walked none and struck out six in a 3-0 victory on May 17, 2015.

The current group of Angels is 7-for-34 against Wright. Kole Calhoun is 2-for-6 with a double. Mike Trout is 1-for-6.

Ubaldo Jimenez, the other candidate to start, faced the Angels on May 22 and allowed six runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings in a 10-2 loss. He's 1-6 with a 4.93 ERA in seven career starts against them.

The Angels are batting .275 against him in 131 at-bats. Yunel Escobar is 10-for-26 with two home runs, Daniel Nava is 4-for-12 with three doubles, Albert Pujols is 8-for-28 with two doubles, a home run and nine RBIs, and Trout is 3-for-14 with a double and six strikeouts.

Angels right-hander Matt Shoemaker is 3-9 with a 4.40 ERA in 16 starts this season. He registered quality starts in seven of eight outings before allowing five runs and nine hits in 4 2/3 innings Sunday in Boston.

The Orioles are more interested in how he shut them out on three hits over 7 1/3 innings and struck out 12 batters on May 21. He didn't walk a batter.

Shoemaker is 1-1 with a 2.25 ERA in three career starts against the Orioles, with no walks and 29 strikeouts in 20 innings. In his only start at Camden Yards, he allowed one run and three hits with seven strikeouts over seven innings.

The current Orioles are 6-for-51 with one walk and 20 strikeouts against Shoemaker. Adam Jones is 3-for-9 with two home runs, Chris Davis is 0-for-8 with six strikeouts and Manny Machado is 0-for-8 with five strikeouts.

* Before the start of tonight's game, the Orioles will celebrate their first World Series championship in 1966 with a ceremony that begins at 6 p.m. with a video tribute of their four-game sweep over the heavily favored Dodgers.

At approximately 6:30 p.m., the Orioles will welcome back Brooks Robinson, Jim Palmer, Boog Powell, Davey Johnson, Eddie Fisher, Dick Hall, Larry Haney, Bill Hunter, Bob Johnson, John Miller, Vic Roznovsky, Russ Snyder and Eddie Watt. Robinson, Palmer and Powell will throw out the ceremonial first pitches after the introductions.

Hall of Famer Frank Robinson is unable to attend due to a previous commitment.

The Orioles will wear 1966 replica throwback uniforms featuring a patch celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 1966 World Series victory. The jerseys will be autographed, authenticated, and auctioned at www.orioles.com/auction to benefit the Orioles Charitable Foundation.

The auction will also include 50th anniversary jerseys autographed by participating Orioles Alumni.

All fans in attendance will receive a 1966 50th anniversary-themed Orioles T-shirt. A fireworks show will be held after the game.

* Left-hander Ashur Tolliver and his wife Kelli are the proud parents of a seven pound, 10 ounce baby boy. Maverick Drake arrived yesterday.

Update: The Orioles have confirmed that Jimenez will start Friday night's opener against the Angels. He is 2-1 with a 5.28 ERA in his last three starts.
