What’s happening? – Andrew Cashner, who has thrown two simulated games, will make his official Grapefruit League debut Sunday when the Orioles host the Phillies. Manager Buck Showalter has tried to keep his starting pitchers and a few of his top relievers away from American League East opponents as well as the Minnesota...
What’s happening? – Chris Davis hopes for a return to action soon. After Saturday’s MRI on his right elbow found no structural damage, Davis said he was relieved. “I feel better today,” Davis said Tuesday. “Obviously, the last couple of days, I haven’t done a whole lot. Treat and kind of go through...
What’s happening? – It’s not going to be said officially, but the fifth starter’s competition is likely down to three legitimate candidates.

The fact Ynoa was actually starting against the Boston Red Sox said something...
What’s happening? — Dylan Bundy doesn’t have to worry about his spot in the rotation, not after delivering the most consistent performance of any of the Orioles’ starters in 2017.

Lefty Chris Lee replaced Harvey in the third inning against the Tampa Bay Rays at Port Charlotte, Fla.,...
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. — Two days, and two injury exits for Orioles’ pitchers. This one could be a lot more serious than starter Kevin Gausman’s scare Monday.

What’s happening? – It’s only an exhibition appearance for two innings, but, in a sense, it is about as highly anticipated as any random outing can be for the Orioles. Right-hander Hunter Harvey, the Orioles’ top pitching prospect, will make today’s start against the Tampa Rays in Port Charlotte. It’ll be the 23-year-old...
