Much to like about Hader

Orioles
Much to like about Hader
The Orioles hold the 22nd pick in the first round of tonight's First-Year Player Draft, which makes it a heck of a lot harder to project their selection than back in the days when they chose third or fourth. They like South Carolina high school catcher Nick Ciuffo, but they usually lean toward pitching, and University of San Francisco right-hander Alex Balog has been linked to them in some mock drafts. That's as deep as I'll venture into this guessing game. But check back with...

Long ball could make for short night for Garcia (O's lose 11-7)

Orioles
Long ball could make for short night for Garcia (O's lose 11-7)
Freddy Garcia threw eight scoreless innings in his last start against the Nationals. Tonight, he's served up three home runs in two innings and trails the Astros 5-1. Garcia is like a box of chocolates. Never know what you're going to get. Against the Astros, he's sort of like that jelly candy that you bite into and want to spit out. Remember those? Jason Castro and Carlos Pena hit two-run shots off Garcia in the first inning, and Marwin Gonzalez - don't pretend that you've never heard...

It's Garcia vs. Keuchel tonight

Orioles
It's Garcia vs. Keuchel tonight
A win tonight in Houston would put the Orioles nine games over .500 for the first time this season. It also would improve their series record to 13-5-2. Once again, they will be facing an Astros pitcher who is new to them - left-hander Dallas Keuchel, 25, who's making his sixth start among 12 appearances. Keuchel is 2-2 with a 5.10 ERA in 47 2/3 innings, with 59 hits, 17 walks and 30 strikeouts. He has a 5.17 ERA as a starter and a 4.96 ERA as a reliever. Keuchel hasn't allowed an earned...

Patton's progress
The Orioles will break out a different lineup tonight with Nick Markakis missing his first game this season to attend his grandmother's funeral. The Orioles will be facing a left-hander, Houston's Dallas Keuchel, who's 2-2 with a 5.10 ERA. Steve Pearce could start in the outfield, with Danny Valencia again serving as the designated hitter. Right-handers are batting .315 against Keuchel, compared to .283 for left-handers. Taylor Teagarden will catch Thursday afternoon's game after being...

Valencia homers again (O's win 4-1)

Orioles
Valencia homers again (O's win 4-1)
Orioles manager Buck Showalter hasn't been predictable in his use of Danny Valencia. There isn't the anticipated strict platoon at designated hitter. Valencia is starting again tonight against a right-hander, the Astros' Lucas Harrell, and he gave the Orioles a 1-0 lead with a home run to right field in the top of the third inning. Valencia has homered in three of his last seven games, and he's totaled seven RBIs in that span. Chris Dickerson, no longer bothered by a sore wrist, made...

Orioles
Orioles DFA Snyder to make room for Teagarden
The Orioles finally made their roster move official tonight, activating Taylor Teagarden from the 15-day disabled list and designating Chris Snyder for assignment in a swap of backup catchers. Teagarden, 29, went on the DL on April 28 with a dislocated left thumb after appearing in four games and going 0-for-13. He threw out one of two runners attempting to steal. Teagarden appeared in three injury-rehab games at Triple-A Norfolk, catching twice and serving as the designated hitter. Snyder,...

Flaherty remains at second base, Valencia serving as DH (with Astros)
Ryan Flaherty gets another start at second base tonight against the Houston Astros, and Danny Valencia will serve as the designated hitter after delivering a pinch-hit, game-tying single Sunday afternoon against the Detroit Tigers at Camden Yards. The rest of the lineup is predictable. Still waiting for the Orioles to announce that catcher Taylor Teagarden has been activated from the disabled list. He's no longer with Triple-A Norfolk. Official word will come before the first pitch. For...

Quick update on Chen

Orioles
Quick update on Chen
Wei-Yin Chen, on the disabled list since straining his right oblique during a May 12 start in Minnesota, was scheduled to do some light throwing today in Sarasota. Apparently, the session went pretty well, judging by a tweet that Chen sent a few minutes ago. Using Google translate, it read as follows: "Today began to pass the ball, and the progress of all the best" I'm taking it as a positive step for Chen. There's no timetable for Chen's return to the active roster. The Orioles need...

A scout's take on Arrieta and the catchers (Hader note)
The Orioles' quiet off-day made plenty of noise yesterday. Wei-Yin Chen will start doing some light throwing today in Sarasota, according to interpreter Tim Lin. The first round of American League All-Star voting was announced, and Chris Davis ranked first among first basemen and Adam Jones ranked second among outfielders. Davis was named AL Player of the Week for the second time this season, but Miguel Cabrera beat him out for monthly honors. Dylan Bundy was cleared to begin a throwing...

Orioles
Bundy cleared to resume throwing, Davis named AL Player of the Week
The Orioles received good news today on pitcher Dylan Bundy following his visit to Dr. James Andrews in Gulf Breeze, Fla. Bundy, the fourth-overall pick in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft, has been cleared to resume a throwing progression program that will start on June 10, according to Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette. The Orioles have been targeting June 10 as the date, so Bundy is right on schedule. Bundy hasn't pitched since spring training because of stiffness near his...

Chen will do "light toss" on Tuesday (and notes)
Orioles pitcher Wei-Yin Chen, on the disabled list with a strained right oblique, will do some soft throwing on Tuesday in Sarasota if the weather permits it. The news came via Chen's interpreter, Tim Lin, who sent out the following tweet earlier this morning: "Light toss tomorrow -> big step!!! Please stop raining, Florida!!!" Chen hasn't picked up a ball since sustaining the injury on May 12 in Minnesota. His most recent activity involved jogging in a pool. Manager Buck Showalter...

Who knows what tomorrow brings?

Orioles
Who knows what tomorrow brings?
The Orioles are off today and it should be relatively quiet, but Tuesday figures to bring more than just a game against the Houston Astros and right-hander Lucas Harrell, who leads the majors with 37 walks in 63 2/3 innings. As if I need to provide Lucas Harrell's walk total. Who doesn't know about this guy? Anyway, Pedro Strop will pitch a simulated game and Taylor Teagarden could be activated from the disabled list, which would likely remove Chris Snyder from the 25-man roster, unless the...

Showalter speaks after 4-2 victory

Orioles
Showalter speaks after 4-2 victory
The confidence that Orioles manager Buck Showalter demonstrated in pitcher Kevin Gausman didn't waver after two outings that left the rookie's ERA at 11.00. And today, Gausman repaid Showalter in a sense by holding the Tigers to one run over six innings in the Orioles' 4-2 victory at Camden Yards. "I thought he had a much better angle today," Showalter said. "Rick and he made a couple adjustments getting back to what he was doing in the spring, which is the good thing about having him....

Orioles
Gausman concludes outstanding day (O's win 4-2)
Still think Kevin Gausman is overmatched and should be sent back to the minors? Gausman went six innings for the first time in three major league starts and held the potent Tigers attack to one run - on Prince Fielder's homer in the fourth. He allowed five hits, walked none and struck out four. Gausman's 96th and final pitch of the afternoon was a 97 mph fastball that Miguel Cabrera took for a called third strike. Gausman painted the black. And he made the orange proud today. Gausman threw...

Gausman's first time through the order much better (updated)
Kevin Gausman has lowered his ERA from 11.00 to 8.25 today with three scoreless innings against the Detroit Tigers at Camden Yards. Gausman has allowed two hits - an infield single by Torii Hunter in the first and a bloop double by Ramon Santiago in the third on a ball that eluded a diving Adam Jones in center field. He's struck out two. Gausman served up three home runs in four innings in his last start in Washington, and was charged with seven runs and eight hits. He's keeping the ball...

Updates on Strop, Teagarden, Reimold and Chen
Pedro Strop will accompany the Orioles to Houston and pitch in a simulated game Tuesday. Strop, on the disabled list with a strained lower back, has thrown two bullpen sessions and performed a drill off a mound over the past four days. He will throw another bullpen session following the simulated game before the Orioles decide whether to send him on an injury-rehab assignment. Taylor Teagarden caught eight innings last night in his second injury-rehab game at Triple-A Norfolk. He will serve...
