Bundy's next start at Single-A Frederick, and other notes (O's down 3-0)

Orioles
Bundy's next start at Single-A Frederick, and other notes (O's down 3-0)
The Orioles announced today that pitcher Dylan Bundy will make his next injury rehab start on July 3 at Single-A Frederick. The Keys host Salem at 6 p.m. at Harry Grove Stadium. Bundy has done enough damage in the New York-Penn League. In three starts at short-season Single-A Aberdeen, he allowed one run and 10 hits in 15 innings, with three walks and 22 strikeouts. Exactly one year removed from Tommy John surgery last night, Bundy allowed three hits and struck out seven in five scoreless...

Showalter on Machado, Tuesday starter, Reimold and Wieters

Orioles
Showalter on Machado, Tuesday starter, Reimold and Wieters
The Orioles are prepared to handle third baseman Manny Machado's suspension. They just need to know when it starts and how long it lasts. They're confident that the suspension will be reduced from five games. The Orioles have an extra reliever and could send down one while calling up an infielder as Machado's replacement. Jemile Weeks is on short-season Single-A Aberdeen's roster, a relatively short drive to Camden Yards. The only complication arrives on Tuesday, when the Orioles need a...

Orioles
Thoughts on Machado, Gausman, Brach and today's game
Will the Orioles find out today whether Manny Machado must begin serving his suspension, whatever the length? It's hanging over their heads, but they're better equipped now to handle it. The Orioles have an extra reliever in their bullpen who can be sent down, and they have an infielder who can be summoned to Camden Yards. Let's just get it over with and move on. If it were up to me, and we know that's not the case, I'd recall Kevin Gausman to make the Wednesday or Thursday start and...

Tillman: "It was a struggle for me early and I think it's coming"

Orioles
Tillman: "It was a struggle for me early and I think it's coming"
Chris Tillman says he was able to throw his fastball for strikes tonight in Game 2 of the doubleheader against the Rays. "Any time you are able to throw to both sides of the plate and mix in your off-speed," he said, "it's kind of a recipe for success." The Orioles could have been fried after a Game 1 loss, but they earned a split with a 4-1 victory in the nightcap. "I was able to get some early outs in the count," he said. "They squared up a lot of balls, but we have eight great guys...

Hearing from Showalter after 4-1 win in Game 2

Orioles
Hearing from Showalter after 4-1 win in Game 2
Following tonight's 4-1 victory over the Rays in Game 2, Orioles pitcher Kevin Gausman was returned to his optional assignment and transferred to short-season Single-A Aberdeen. He won't be an IronBird for long. Gausman had to be sent out because he was the 26th player today and Aberdeen is home. He can return to the Orioles as early as Tuesday and might start Wednesday or Thursday against the Rangers. Game 2 starter Chris Tillman is on a roll, having allowed five runs in his last four starts...

Hundley's first Orioles home run gives them lead (Cruz homers, O's win 4-1)

Orioles
Hundley's first Orioles home run gives them lead (Cruz homers, O's win 4-1)
Nick Hundley picked an opportune time tonight to hit his first home run as an Oriole. Hundley led off the bottom of the sixth inning by lining the second pitch from Rays reliever Juan Carlos Oviedo, a 90 mph fastball, into the left field seats to break a 1-1 tie. Oviedo had just entered the game as the replacement for starter Jake Odorizzi, who threw 106 pitches in five innings. Hundley was batting .195 with no homers and four RBIs with the Orioles before tonight. He hit one homer with the...

No roster move tonight and another look back at Game 1 (updated)

Orioles
No roster move tonight and another look back at Game 1 (updated)
The Orioles didn't make a roster move before Game 2 of today's doubleheader. Executive vice president Dan Duquette met with manager Buck Showalter and the club decided to stand pat. Chris Tillman retired the Rays in order in the top of the first, throwing seven of 11 pitches for strikes. He's allowed 15 runs in the first inning this season, but none in his last two starts. Adam Jones doubled with two outs in the bottom of the first, but Nelson Cruz bounced to short. Third baseman Manny...

Showalter and Joseph after Game 1 loss, Game 2 lineup
The excuse would be so convenient. Kevin Gausman was on a roll and the Orioles slowed it by optioning him to the minors and disrupting his routine. Manager Buck Showalter knows it's out there, but he's not reaching for it. "He did it last time, pitched an inning and came back and pitched well," Showalter said after Gausman was charged with five runs in five-plus innings in a 5-2 loss to the Rays in Game 1 of today's doubleheader at Camden Yards. "I think we all search for why. A lot of it...

Orioles
Orioles score first, Rays score more in second (Machado homers, O's lose 5-2)
Steve Pearce walked in the first inning in Game 1 of today's doubleheader between the Orioles and Rays. Naturally, he reached base. The Lakeland, Fla., native is now 8-for-18 with three doubles, three home runs, six RBIs, six walks and five runs scored against the Rays this season. His 1.676 OPS versus the Rays leads the majors. The Orioles took a 1-0 lead in the first after Nick Markakis led off with a single, moved to second on Alex Colome's wild pitch, took third on Adam Jones'...

Pregame notes and quotes from Showalter and Meek

Pregame notes and quotes from Showalter and Meek
Triple-A Norfolk infielder Jemile Weeks flew into Baltimore last night and is available to the Orioles if third baseman Manny Machado has to begin serving his suspension today. Weeks was in the Tides' clubhouse yesterday, but didn't stay for the game. Manager Buck Showalter is on high alert. He received a phone call from executive vice president Dan Duquette this morning and feared the worst. However, Machado remains on the active roster and is starting Game 1 of the doubleheader against...

Evan Meek is listed among the Orioles' relievers, as expected, and will be added to the roster for Game 1 of today's doubleheader against the Rays at Camden Yards. The Orioles haven't announced the official roster moves, but Kevin Gausman appears to be the 26th player. Steve Pearce is in left field and Caleb Joseph is behind the plate. Alex Colome is making his fourth major league start today, and his first this season after one relief appearance. He's never faced the Orioles and they...

Orioles
Orioles will recall Meek
The Orioles will add two pitchers to their roster for Friday's doubleheader against the Rays at Camden Yards. Kevin Gausman will come off the taxi squad to pitch Game 1, and reliever Evan Meek will be recalled from Triple-A Norfolk to provide another arm in the bullpen. Meek was spotted tonight at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (or BWI, to keep it simple), and I got it confirmed. He's in town. Starter Bud Norris will be placed on the 15-day disabled list,...

Thoughts on the roster and Gausman's start
The Orioles are playing two games today and adding two players to their roster. Let's hear it for symmetry. Kevin Gausman will come off the taxi squad, be officially recalled and start Game 1 against the Rays. It's just a question of whether he's the 26th player or Bud Norris' replacement. Either way, the Orioles also are expected to recall reliever Evan Meek, since he flew into Baltimore last night. How would the equation have changed if third baseman Manny Machado had to begin serving...

Orioles
Norris likely headed to DL (updated)
An MRI taken this morning on Bud Norris' groin revealed a strain on the right side that most likely will force the Orioles into making a roster move. Norris doesn't figure to be available for his next start, which can be pushed back to Tuesday. In that scenario, the Orioles will place him on the 15-day disabled list. The move would be retroactive to Sunday, making Norris eligible to return on July 7 when the Orioles begin a two-game road series against the Nationals. "It looks like he has a...

Norris to undergo MRI, Showalter on 5-4 12-inning win
Orioles pitcher Bud Norris will undergo an MRI on his right groin Thursday morning after having his next start pushed back. Norris threw a bullpen session and appeared to be "tentative," according to manager Buck Showalter, which led to the decision to start Chris Tillman in Game 2 of Friday night's doubleheader against the Rays at Camden Yards. Norris left his most recent start Saturday night against the Yankees after five innings because of tightness in his groin. Showalter sent Norris...

Orioles
Decision pending on Reimold
Does it still count as an off-day if a game goes past midnight? The Orioles will take it, no matter the definition. It's still going to feel like rest. The bullpen could use it after manager Buck Showalter called upon six relievers in last night's 5-4, 12-inning victory over the White Sox, though he skillfully limited their pitch counts to make them available for Friday's doubleheader. Brad Brach threw eight, Darren O'Day 14, Zach Britton 16, Ryan Webb 19, Brian Matusz 24 and Tommy Hunter...

Cruz slam ties game (O's win 5-4 in 12 innings)

Orioles
Cruz slam ties game (O's win 5-4 in 12 innings)
It happened. The Orioles got into the White Sox bullpen and it happened. Nelson Cruz's two-out grand slam off reliever Javy Guerra in the bottom of the eighth inning tied the game 4-4. It's Cruz's eighth career slam and his second this season, the other coming April 23 in Toronto. He's hit 24 homers and driven in 64 runs this season Sounds like an All-Star to me. White Sox manager Robin Ventura used three relievers in the eighth. It wasn't enough. Or perhaps it was too many. Nick...

No run support for Jimenez and no wins at home

Orioles
No run support for Jimenez and no wins at home
The walks that have plagued Orioles pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez this season rest entirely on his shoulders. He takes full responsibility. But he can't control each time the offense goes into shutdown mode while he's on the mound. White Sox right-hander Hector Noesi is blanking the Orioles tonight on four hits over six innings. He's thrown only 63 pitches. Jimenez held the White Sox to two runs over the first six innings before Tyler Flower's two-run single with none out in the seventh. Flowers...

Jimenez staying in control (O's down 2-0)
Through three innings of tonight's game against the White Sox, Orioles starter Ubaldo Jimenez has not issued a walk. Through three innings, Jimenez has thrown 29 of his 38 pitches for strikes. He's stayed in control. The Orioles hope it lasts. Jimenez issued six walks in 5 2/3 innings in Friday night's start against the Yankees, and the Orioles were forced to make a roster move after the game, optioning Kevin Gausman and bringing up Brad Brad to aid the bullpen. In his last three outings,...
