Start spreading the news: Orioles have one game left in New York

Orioles

NEW YORK - We'll find out this morning whether Bud Norris is able to make his start against the Yankees or if manager Buck Showalter must dig through his bullpen to piece together at least nine innings. Norris has registered quality starts in his last two outings, surrendering six runs over 13 2/3 innings. However, he began yesterday tied with the Blue Jays' Drew Hutchison for most earned runs allowed in the American League with 26. Norris has worked 24 innings. Hutchison's total was 31 1/3...

Norris questionable for Sunday and wrapping up today's 6-2 win

NEW YORK - The Orioles avoided a roster move and won a game today, defeating the Yankees 6-2. However, they may have to scratch their starter on Sunday. Bud Norris was sent back to the team hotel with chills and might not take the mound for Sunday's series finale that also concludes the road trip. A decision will be made in the morning. "He wasn't running a fever," manager Buck Showalter said. "We just sent him home precautionary. See how he is tomorrow." The Orioles won't take a starter...

Paredes, De Aza going in opposite directions (O's win 6-2)

NEW YORK - Jimmy Paredes and Alejandro De Aza are providing sharp contrasts in the Orioles' lineup. Paredes is red-hot, hitting his fifth home run of the season today in the top of the third inning to give the Orioles a 1-0 lead. Paredes jumped on the first pitch from Yankees starter Chase Whitley, a 90 mph fastball, and launched it into the seats in right field. Whitley struck out four of the first six batters, including Paredes in the opening inning. Before today, Paredes had a...

Orioles

NEW YORK - Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Ryan Flaherty is available this afternoon despite his exclusion from today's lineup. Flaherty experienced some discomfort in his groin last night in his first game after coming off the disabled list. "It's better," Showalter said. "You know, Ryan's never had a leg injury in his whole career. It's kind of like Kevin Gausman yesterday. I think you build up a little bit scar tissue there in two weeks. Straight away, he's fine. He just felt...

NEW YORK - After experiencing some discomfort in his groin last night while running the bases, Ryan Flaherty will not start this afternoon's game against the Yankees. Adam Jones will start in center field and bat third despite crashing into the outfield wall during yesterday's game. Last night was Flaherty's first game back with the Orioles after being reinstated from the 15-day disabled list. He was placed on the DL on April 24, retroactive to April 23. In three rehab games with Double-A...

No good news so far from New York

May 08, 2015, 7:43pm

Orioles

NEW YORK - If the Orioles take a bite out of the Big Apple, they're liable to find half a worm. The Queens/Bronx excursion has left a bad taste in their mouths. The rotation suddenly can't piece together a quality start, players continue to run into outs and the door to the disabled list has been replaced by a turnstile. On the plus side, no one in the organization is trying to deflate the baseballs. The losing streak has reached four games and the Orioles are three below .500 for the second...

Reviewing injuries and wrapping up a 5-4 loss

NEW YORK - The Orioles are hurting in a variety of ways. Their losing streak reached four games with tonight's 5-4 loss to the Yankees in the Bronx. They're three games below .500, matching their season high. Pitcher Kevin Gausman went on the disabled list today with right shoulder tendinitis. Center fielder Adam Jones banged his left shoulder or rib cage into the fence while trying to catch Alex Rodriguez's fly ball in the fifth inning. Ryan Flaherty, just off the disabled list after...

NEW YORK - The Orioles have placed reliever Kevin Gausman on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to yesterday with right shoulder tendinitis and recalled left-hander T.J. McFarland from Triple-A Norfolk. The club also activated infielder Ryan Flaherty from the disabled list and optioned infielder Rey Navarro to Norfolk.

Gausman headed to 15-day disabled list

May 08, 2015, 12:59pm

Orioles

NEW YORK - The Orioles will place pitcher Kevin Gausman on the 15-day disabled list later today with right shoulder tendinitis. The team noticed an issue with Gausman's shoulder about a week ago and after giving him an anti-inflammatory Thursday will shut him down for the next 72 hours. Gausman threw an inning in relief Tuesday and struck out two batters in the Orioles' loss to the Mets. On the season, the right-hander has registered a 4.50 ERA in eight games spanning 12 innings. He's...

Miguel Gonzalez tries to end losing streak

NEW YORK - Miguel Gonzalez is getting his second look at the Yankees tonight. He's hoping the view hasn't changed. Gonzalez allowed one run over seven innings on April 14, with one walk and a career-high 10 strikeouts. The current group of Yankees is batting .193 against him, going 21-for-109. Maybe he's the right guy to play stopper and end a three-game losing streak. Gonzalez is 3-1 with a 2.59 ERA this season and has allowed one run or fewer in three of his five starts. He's 3-3 with a...

NEW YORK - The Orioles have lost seven consecutive series openers at Yankee Stadium dating back to April 12, 2013. Why didn't somebody warn us? The club will make its second consecutive roster move today when it activates Ryan Flaherty from the disabled list. The Orioles are expected to option infielder Rey Navarro to Triple-A Norfolk. Navarro would have been sent down yesterday if Everth Cabrera had avoided the disabled list. Navarro is batting .316 (6-for-19), but he hasn't started since...

Wrapping up a 4-3 loss and updating Cabrera

NEW YORK - The Orioles lost their third game in a row tonight, 4-3 to the Yankees, leaving them winless on their swing through New York. Chris Tillman allowed four runs and 10 hits in 5 2/3 innings to leave his ERA at 6.25 in 31 2/3 innings. "It's just frustating for him," manager Buck Showalter said. "After we scored runs, we gave runs right back, and that's where you'd like to get some shutdown innings. And Chris will. He's getting there. He had five days off again. I think once we get...

Chris Tillman gives up historic home run (O's lose 4-3)

NEW YORK - Chris Tillman almost served up Alex Rodriguez's 661st home run tonight in the bottom of the first inning, but Delmon Young made a leaping catch at the right field fence and turned it into a sacrifice fly. Young couldn't save Tillman in the third. Rodriguez deposited an 83 mph changeup over the center field fence to break a 2-2 tie and move himself past Willie Mays for fourth place on baseball's all-time list. Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Alex Rodriguez and Willie Mays. How...

NEW YORK - The Orioles have placed infielder Everth Cabrera on the 15-day disabled list with a bruised left foot and activated shortstop J.J. Hardy. Cabrera fouled a ball off his foot in the fifth inning last night at Citi Field, but he stayed in the game. Infielder Rey Navarro would have been optioned to Triple-A Norfolk if Cabrera avoided the DL. Instead, he could be removed from the 25-man roster on Friday when infielder Ryan Flaherty is activated. Navarro could serve as the backup shortstop...

NEW YORK - To create room for shortstop J.J. Hardy tonight on the 25-man roster, the Orioles will option Rey Navarro or place Everth Cabrera on the 15-day disabled list. Cabrera was hit on the left foot last night by a pitch from Mets starter Jacob deGrom in the top of the fifth inning. Cabrera stayed in the game and had a few mishaps on the basepaths later in the frame. Cabrera will have the foot X-rayed this afternoon. He's in an 0-for-17 slump, lowering his average to .205.

Orioles

NEW YORK - Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy said three games at Double-A Bowie were enough to get him back into a major league lineup for the first time this season. He's tired of waiting. Hardy is coming off the disabled list this afternoon. The Orioles haven't announced a corresponding move and the lineup card includes one extra player. Hardy is batting seventh in his 2015 debut after going 4-for-12 with a double and RBI at Bowie. He arrived in New York today with infielder Ryan Flaherty, who...
