What’s happening: Kevin Gausman was chosen, as expected, to be the Orioles’ Opening Day starter next Monday. Once Chris Tillman was ruled out with a sore right shoulder, Gausman was the obvious choice. Manager Buck Showalter picked Dylan Bundy to start the season’s second game, April 5. “I had some guys to...
What’s happening: The jockeying for the Orioles’ fifth starter job continues. Over the weekend, right-hander Gabriel Ynoa and left-hander Jayson Aquino made their cases. Ynoa became the second starter to complete five innings, allowing just one hit against the Minnesota Twins on Saturday night, and Aquino gave up one run on three...
What’s happening: Center fielder Adam Jones and reliever Mychal Givens are due back in Orioles’ camp, perhaps today. Both played for Team USA, which won the World Baseball Classic on Wednesday night. Second baseman Jonathan Schoop, who played for the Netherlands, which lost to Puerto Rico in the semifinals, is also expected...
What’s happening: Manny Machado and Welington Castillo returned to the Orioles’ clubhouse Wednesday after playing in the World Baseball Classic. The two had a wonderful time competing for the Dominican Republic. Manager Buck Showalter wants to make sure the pair — especially Castillo, who isn’t used to catching so many intense innings...

What’s happening: The Orioles are getting healthier. At least that appears to be the case. Orioles manager Buck Showalter had a host of medical updates Saturday afternoon that should make the upcoming week filled with returns to the field. Perhaps the injured Oriole that is most crucial to the team’s success in...
Rule 5 draft pick Anthony Santander said Saturday morning that the MRA on his right elbow showed only “small inflammation” and he should return to baseball activities soon. “I think it’s just a matter of a few days,” Santander said through interpreter Ramon Alarcon. “Monday, I start my regular routine again, so...
What’s happening: Right-hander Dylan Bundy will make his fourth start of the exhibition season and it comes in Tampa today against the division rival New York Yankees. Orioles manager Buck Showalter has juggled his rotation in past springs to make sure his starters aren’t facing AL East teams in the second part...
What’s happening: Today will be the day that Pedro Alvarez begins his outfield experiment for real. At least kind of for real. He’ll be playing right field in a “B game” on a backfield in Sarasota against mostly Pittsburgh Pirates minor leaguers. Got that? The contest will last roughly seven innings and...
