The Orioles used the disabled list for the 10th time today, including twice with Ryan Flaherty, who returned to it this afternoon with a strained right groin muscle.
"The tough thing, like I said, is it's unbelievable that a guy who's played as much baseball since Little League has never had a leg issue," said manager Buck Showalter. "It's only for the most part moving to his right, which happened in Toronto when he moved to his right taking off to go to second, and moving to the ball to...
The Orioles are deciding whether to place infielder Ryan Flaherty on the 15-day disabled list. Team orthopedist Dr. Michael Jacobs is reviewing the MRI.
Infielder Rey Navarro is in Baltimore, and the sense is that the Orioles will make a roster move later today. They can't afford to be short an infielder with a bench that's heavy in outfielders.
Update: The move is official. Flaherty goes on the DL with a right groin strain and Navarro is recalled from Triple-A Norfolk.
Kevin Gausman will...
With Ryan Flaherty injured, Steve Pearce is starting at second base tonight for the Orioles.
No official announcement yet on Flaherty going on the disabled list.
Pearce is working out early at second base with infield instructor and third base coach Bobby Dickerson.
Travis Snider is starting in left field against Blue Jays left-hander Mark Buehrle. As I wrote this morning, Snider is 5-for-9 against him.

The Orioles are prepared to make another roster move today, with Rey Navarro summoned to Baltimore following Triple-A Norfolk's game last night against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Ryan Flaherty isn't fully recovered from his groin injury and it may be wise to shut him down until he's right. The Orioles value his defense, especially at second base, but this is the type of injury that could linger all season.
Navarro is on the 40-man roster, which makes for an easy corresponding move. And Steve...
Orioles second baseman Ryan Flaherty will undergo an MRI on Tuesday to check whether he's reinjured his right groin muscle and, if so, ascertain the severity of it.
Flaherty came off the disabled list on Friday, appeared to tweak the groin on Saturday and left tonight's game in the bottom of the third inning after chasing Ryan Goins' grounder up the middle that scooted into center field.
"We'll see where we are," said manager Buck Showalter, who came onto the field with head athletic...
Orioles second baseman Ryan Flaherty came out of tonight's game in the top of the third inning after trying to backhand a ground ball up the middle and grimacing in pain.
Flaherty was on the disabled list with a strained right groin muscle. He also felt some discomfort during a game at Yankee Stadium over the weekend.
Manager Buck Showalter and head athletic trainer Rich Bancells came onto the field as Flaherty limped back to second base following Ryan Goins' one-out single. Flaherty took a...
Jimmy Paredes will try to extend his hitting streak to 10 games tonight.
Paredes, batting second again as the designated hitter, has posted a .355 average with six doubles, two triples, five home runs, 15 RBIs and 16 runs scored in 18 games since coming off the disabled list. He's collected at least one hit in 16 games, and 13 of his 27 hits have gone for extra bases.
Not bad for a guy who's bounced around the majors, with two stops in the Orioles organization.
Orioles manager Buck Showalter...
Orioles pitcher Kevin Gausman said his right shoulder feels much better today after he took an anti-inflammatory on Saturday.
"It feels like nothing ever happened," said Gausman, who went on the disabled list retroactive to May 7 with right shoulder tendinitis.
Team orthopedist Dr. Michael Jacobs is examining Gausman's shoulder this afternoon. Gausman will undergo an MRI Tuesday morning, but he's confident that there's nothing structurally wrong.
The Orioles must decide whether to send...
Manny Machado remains in the leadoff spot and Jimmy Paredes continues to bat second, as the Orioles return home for the first time in two weeks to begin a three-game series against the Blue Jays.

How badly did the Orioles want to get home?
The reasons are plentiful, but I'll just toss out one alarming stat. They're 1-9 in their last 10 road games when batting first.
I'm dismissing the three-game series that moved to Tropicana Field. And just the fact that a home series was played in St. Petersburg further illustrates the Orioles' desperate need to regain some semblance of normalcy.
The Orioles haven't played at Camden Yards since April 29. They haven't played in front of fans who...
NEW YORK - The Orioles will transfer catcher Matt Wieters to the 60-day disabled list to make room for pitcher Jorge Rondon, claimed off waivers today from the Rockies.
Rondon has been assigned to Triple-A Norfolk.
Wieters went on the disabled list March 27 and still could be activated by May 26. As I wrote earlier today, he's scheduled to catch eight innings on Tuesday at extended spring training and nine on Thursday and Saturday.

NEW YORK - The Orioles have claimed right-hander Jorge Rondon off waivers from the Rockies and assigned him to Triple-A Norfolk, according to a team official.
The Rockies claimed Rondon, 27, from the Cardinals in November and designated him for assignment on May 2. He threw one inning over two games for Colorado this season and allowed 11 runs (10 earned) and eight hits, with three walks and one strikeout.
Rondon appeared in one game with the Cardinals in 2014 and walked a batter in a scoreless...
NEW YORK - Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy hit his first home run today and his first in the regular season since Aug. 31, 2014 against the Twins.
Hardy saw two four-seamers and two cutters from Yankees starter Michael Pineda before pulling an 85 mph slider into the left field seats to give the Orioles a 1-0 lead.
Hardy also homered on Oct. 2 in Game 1 of the American League Division Series against the Tigers. He's 2-for-12 since coming off the disabled list.
Pineda has struck out five batters in...
NEW YORK - Orioles pitcher Kevin Gausman will visit with team orthopedist Dr. Michael Jacobs on Monday and undergo an MRI on his right shoulder the following day.
Manager Buck Showalter said the condition of Gausman's shoulder has improved. He went on the disabled list retroactive to Thursday with tendinitis.
Matt Wieters will catch eight innings Tuesday at extended spring training and extend to nine innings on Thursday and Saturday. The next goal, of course, is getting him to catch on...
NEW YORK - Right-hander Bud Norris will make his scheduled start this afternoon against the Yankees. The Orioles sent Norris back to the team hotel yesterday when he experienced chills, placing his start in doubt.

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...
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."

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...
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...
