BALTIMORE—John Means was sailing along, having allowed just an infield single in six innings. Means had a 1-0 lead when Elvis Andrus grounded to first to start the seventh. First baseman Renato Nunez stepped to his left toward first just before the ball was hit, and it went past where he had...
BALTIMORE—The Orioles returned home with a full clubhouse. Since they last played here on August 25, they added 11 players, two of whom, right-handed pitcher Shawn Armstrong and designated hitter Mark Trumbo, were activated from the injured list. Eight players were brought up from Triple-A Norfolk. Besides the 35 players, the Orioles...
The Orioles’ decision to activate Mark Trumbo drew a fair amount of criticism from fans on social media. It shouldn’t have. Trumbo, who has gallantly rehabbed his right knee after undergoing surgery a year ago, is someone fans should embrace. Instead, some fans have said the Orioles should have used his roster...
The Orioles added six more players for Tuesday’s doubleheader with the Tampa Bay Rays in St. Petersburg, Florida. Left-handed pitcher Ty Blach, right-handers David Hess, Evan Phillips, Chandler Shepherd and catcher Austin Wynns, all of whom were on the roster at some time during the season, were recalled from Triple-A Norfolk. Outfielder...
The Orioles added to their roster by recalling pitchers Branden Kline, Tanner Scott and outfielder Dwight Smith Jr. from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday. They also activated pitcher Shawn Armstrong from the 10-day injured list. Kline, a 27-year-old right-hander, has spent considerable time with the Orioles this season. He’s 1-4 with a 7.44...
Nearly a year after he was fired after seven years as the Orioles’ top baseball executive, Dan Duquette’s influence remains strong. That might seem counterintuitive, especially since his successor, Mike Elias, has put a definitive stamp on the franchise. Late last month, Elias dismissed 11 front office officials and scouts, some of...
BALTIMORE—Joining other Major League Baseball teams, the Orioles are extending netting at Oriole Park at Camden Yards before the next homestand. The team announced on Thursday that crews are extending protective netting at the same height of the existing backstop netting down each foul line to near each foul pole. The Orioles...
WASHINGTON—Asher Wojciechowski’s horrid first inning set the tone for a frustrating evening for the Orioles. Wojciechowski was battered for five runs, and the Orioles couldn’t recover and lost the finale of the 2019 Beltway Series to the Washington Nationals, 8-4, on Wednesday night. The game also featured the team’s second dugout flare-up...
WASHINGTON—Dean Kremer and Alex Wells headline the five players the Orioles are sending to the Arizona Fall League. The Orioles are one of five teams that will supply players to the Surprise Saguaros. Kremer, a 23-year-old right-hander who was part of the Manny Machado trade in July 2018, was 9-4 with a...
WASHINGTON—After some difficult outings, Aaron Brooks has become an effective pitcher for the Orioles. On August 10, Brooks allowed nine runs in the second worst defeat in Orioles history, 23-2, to the Houston Astros. Two starts later, he allowed a run on seven hits in five innings for his first win as...
