The Orioles kept their roster intact again yesterday while wrapping up their three-game series in Miami. Their last move was signing reliever Lou Trivino to a one-year contract, which bumped starter Trey Gibson down to Triple-A Norfolk and returned the bullpen to full capacity.

The injured list held at 11 players but could reach a dozen again after Cade Povich exited last night’s start with left forearm discomfort. He’s getting an MRI today.

With the Athletics in town, the surprise first-place team in the National League West – and in a league soaked in mediocrity – let’s check on a few other questions tied to the Orioles.

They already decided when to open the gates today – at 5 p.m, due to “popular demand.”

That probably has more to do with the Tupac bobblehead giveaway than reliever Brooks Kriske’s return to Baltimore.

Kriske can get some California Love, but I don’t expect a video tribute tonight.    

Did Brandon Young cement his place in the rotation?

Povich’s injury could be a factor.

Left-hander Trevor Rogers is eligible to return from the 15-day injured list on Monday. He hasn’t pitched since April 25, before coming down with a bad case of the flu.

Young allowed three runs in the first inning Wednesday night and followed with five scoreless frames to give the rotation its eighth quality start this season.

“Didn’t really have a choice,” Young told the media afterward. “Just had to buckle down, make my pitches, just mentally stay calm and focus and know that I have a job to do and it’s to give the team a chance to win.”

Young needed to improve his results after allowing 10 runs, four earned following a scoring change, over four innings against the Astros. His ERA is 4.35 in four starts.

Kyle Bradish, Shane Baz and Chris Bassitt are listed as the probables for the three-game series against the Athletics at Camden Yards. Rogers could start Monday night’s series opener against the Yankees.

The rotation as a whole must get better.

Rogers had three quality starts to begin the season but allowed 12 earned runs (13 total) and 19 hits over 11 1/3 innings in his next three outings to raise his ERA to 4.75 and WHIP to 1.451.

Bradish, trying to log a full season for the first time since 2013, has posted a 5.03 ERA and 1.824 WHIP in seven starts. He’s averaging 5.6 walks per nine innings.

The only quality start was April 15 against Arizona, when he allowed four runs but only two earned in six innings. He held the Royals to one run over 5 1/3 innings in his next outing but also surrendered 10 hits and walked three.

Baz signed a five-year, $68 million extension before his first game and he’s registered a 4.99 ERA and 1.538 WHIP in seven starts. He came close to his only quality start with one run allowed in 5 2/3 innings in Pittsburgh and one run in 5 2/3 against the Astros.

Handed the ball in the Bronx, Baz allowed five earned runs and six total with five walks in 5 2/3.

The Orioles signed Bassitt to a one-year, $18.5 million contract in February and he’s posted a 5.91 ERA and 1.906 WHIP in seven starts. His only quality start came in Houston, when he allowed one run in 6 2/3, and he tossed five scoreless innings in Cleveland.

In Bassitt’s last outing, he allowed four runs and six hits in four innings in Miami, but the Orioles rallied for a 9-7 win.

Povich was done last night after only three innings because of left forearm discomfort. He allowed three runs and three hits with two walks.

Rogers could replace Povich in the rotation if the injury is serious enough to put him on the IL.

Povich turned in one of the team’s best performances on April 12 against the Giants, with one run and no walks over 6 2/3 innings, but the Orioles optioned him the next day to make room for Dean Kremer.

The Yankees were hard on everybody in the four-game series. Povich allowed five runs and seven hits in four innings.

Kremer lasted two starts before straining his right quadriceps. He allowed three runs and two hits in six innings in Cleveland and joining the parade of players on the injured list.

Nine Orioles have made starts, including Zach Eflin, who underwent Tommy John surgery after one appearance, and Gibson, who made his major league debut at Yankee Stadium, allowed three runs in 4 2/3 innings and was optioned.

How long does the bullpen remain undisturbed?

Closer Ryan Helsley isn’t eligible to return from the 15-day injured list until Thursday. He’s shelved by right elbow inflammation.

Rico Garcia earned his second career save Wednesday night, leaving him second on the team behind Helsley’s seven.

The Orioles optioned Tyler Wells on Saturday because they needed a fresh arm and he didn’t have to pass through waivers. He’s got to stay down 15 days unless replacing an injured player. Left-hander Nick Raquet was optioned on Sunday and Albert Suárez was outrighted on Monday.

Jose Espada and Cameron Foster were optioned May 1 and also can’t return unless there’s an injury.

One possibility is Povich going on the IL and the Orioles bringing up a reliever until Rogers is reinstated. But which reliever?

When will Jackson Holliday make his 2026 debut?

There are no timelines, so everything is an estimate.

The good news is that Holliday began another injury rehab assignment last night with Double-A Chesapeake. He worked out at Camden Yards and headed down to Prince George’s Stadium for batting practice and infield drills before getting the green light to return to games.

Holliday went 0-for-3 with a strikeout and was removed for a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning.

“He’s checking every box,” manager Craig Albernaz told the media yesterday in Miami. “Everything feels good. He’s put in great work. He feels great. And that’s the biggest thing is whatever the player feels like. So it’s all great signs for Jackson, but we want to take it one day at a time.

“Each day, I’m gonna check in with him, our training staff, to make sure that he has everything he needs.”

We’re assuming that Holliday will rejoin Norfolk at some point, with the possibility that he’s reinstated in the middle of the month. Holliday would reduce Jeremiah Jackson’s starts at second base.
