BALTIMORE—Fans have been eager for the Orioles to promote some of their best position player prospects. The first to move up is outfielder DJ Stewart. Stewart was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, replacing Chris Davis, who is on the 10-day injured list because of an inflamed left hip. Stewart played right...
FREDERICK—Two years ago, the Orioles made left-handed pitcher DL Hall their first pick in the draft. Although he hasn’t dominated in his first two months in High-A Frederick, the opinions of many in baseball haven’t changed. One scout labeled the 20-year-old the most impressive pitcher he saw this spring in Florida. “I...
BALTIMORE—Dan Straily has been struggling as a starter, leading Orioles manager Brandon Hyde to move him to the bullpen. On Monday, the move paid off. Gabriel Ynoa made his first major league start since 2017, and he left after four gritty innings with a 4-2 lead. In came Straily, who quickly allowed...
DENVER—The Orioles were hoping for their first series win in more than a month and their first road series win since the season’s first week. They hadn’t even won consecutive games since May 4-6.

DENVER—The Orioles placed first baseman Chris Davis on the 10-day injured because of inflammation in his left hip. The move was made less than an hour before Sunday’s game and is retroactive to May 25. “CD has been sore for a few days,” Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said before the start of...
DENVER—Orioles manager Brandon Hyde knew he had to rest reliever Mychal Givens. What wasn’t certain was who Hyde would use in relief of Andrew Cashner.

DENVER—Gabriel Ynoa will be the Orioles’ starter on Monday, when the Orioles return home to play Detroit. Manager Brandon Hyde, who decided to put struggling Dan Straily in the bullpen for now, said that Ynoa was the best choice.

DENVER—It’s been a horrible week for reliever Mychal Givens. For the third time in five games, Givens fell apart in the ninth inning, and the Orioles suffered another difficult loss. Givens, who had walked home the winning run on Thursday against the Yankees, gave up a walkoff, two-run home run to Trevor...
DENVER–Keon Broxton, who was acquired by the Orioles from the New York Mets on Wednesday, was batting sixth and playing center field on Friday night. Broxton had been designated for assignment by the Mets, for whom he hit .143 in 34 games and traded for $500,000 in international bonus money. He described...
FREDERICK—One of the best stories in the Orioles’ minor league system is the return of Cody Sedlock as a prospect. In 2016, the Orioles made Sedlock, who will turn 24 on June 19, their No. 1 draft choice from the University of Illinois. Injuries and ineffectiveness ruined his 2017 and 2018 seasons,...
