Bundy's quality start and early runs produce 5-3 win (updated)

Andrew Cashner underwent an MRI on his left knee, is expected to receive a cortisone injection and might not be ready to make his next start. Alex Cobb has a cut on his right middle finger that needs more time to heal, perhaps pushing him back to next weekend in the Bronx. Rookies Josh Rogers and David Hess have been moved to the bullpen and could back up rookie starters Luis Ortiz and Yefry RamÃrez over the next two nights. The Orioles really needed Dylan Bundy to shake his slump tonight,...

Cashner undergoes MRI on knee (O's lead 4-3)

Andrew Cashner underwent an MRI on his left knee today at noon and likely will receive a cortisone injection after being charged with eight runs in two-plus innings last night in a 10-0 loss to the Athletics. The examination didn't reveal any structural damage in the knee, but Cashner could miss his next start. "It was good news," said manager Buck Showalter. "Structurally, he's in good shape. He's got some discomfort in there that hopefully we can resolve in the next few days and he can...

Orioles lineup and Hays update

September 13, 2018, 11:38am

Orioles

The Orioles close out their series tonight against the Athletics with Adam Jones on the bench for the fourth time in six games. Joey Rickard is in right field tonight. John Andreoli is in left field. Jonathan Villar is the shortstop, with Breyvic Valera at second base. Tim Beckham is the designated hitter and Chris Davis joins Jones on the bench. An Orioles rotation that's painted in uncertainty is in need of a solid outing from Dylan Bundy, who's registered an 8.29 ERA and 1.671 WHIP since...

This, that and the other

September 12, 2018, 7:38pm

Orioles

The only certainties in the Orioles rotation moving forward are Dylan Bundy starting tonight to close out the Athletics series and rookies Luis Ortiz and Yefry RamÃrez for the first two games of the weekend series against the White Sox. Alex Cobb won't stay in turn Sunday and could be held back until next weekend's series in the Bronx. The blister needs more time to heal. The Orioles must keep a ball out of his hand to avoid having the seams open it up again. The humidity apparently is an...

Orioles held to one hit in 10-0 loss (updated)

September 12, 2018, 5:47pm

Orioles

The Orioles allowed runs in only one inning tonight. However, 10 proved to be 10 more than they could handle. Four Athletics pitchers combined for the shutout in a 10-0 victory over the Orioles before an announced crowd of 10,480 at Camden Yards. Trey Mancini had the only hit for the Orioles with a two-out single off Liam Hendriks in the first inning. Chris Davis reached on an error leading off the second and Jace Peterson walked in the third. Only three baserunners the entire night, as the...

Hays undergoing ankle surgery, O's down 10-0

Outfielder Austin Hays, one of the top-rated prospects in the Orioles system who made his major league debut last September, will undergo surgery Thursday morning to repair a fractured ankle. Hays was limited to 75 games this season, 66 at Double-A Bowie, due to the injury. However, he finished the season with the Baysox and was ticketed to play in the Arizona Fall League. The Glendale Desert Dogs' roster included Hays, but his participation was pending the results of today's examination. Dr....

More on the rotation and plans for Rogers

The Orioles are closing out the last few weeks of their season with a patchwork rotation, providing a few of their younger pitchers with an opportunity while also monitoring their innings and deciding who might be next in line. They also aren't certain when Alex Cobb will be ready to start again after working only two innings last night, the blister on his right middle finger cracking open and forcing his departure. One beneficiary is Luis Ortiz, who came to the Orioles in the Jonathan Schoop...

Luis Ortiz will make his first major league start Friday night against the White Sox after debuting for the Orioles in relief. Ortiz allowed three runs and three hits in two-thirds of an inning in Friday night's game against the Rays at Tropicana Field. Yefry RamÃrez will start against the White Sox on Saturday, with Sunday's spot listed as TBD. The rotation is adjusted with rookies Josh Rogers and David Hess moved to the bullpen and Alex Cobb perhaps pushed back again due to the blister...

Stewart making debut tonight for Orioles

September 12, 2018, 11:05am

Orioles

DJ Stewart will make his major league debut tonight as the Orioles continue their series against the Athletics. Stewart is starting in left field and batting seventh. Trey Mancini is the designated hitter. Stewart will be the club-record 55th player to appear in a game with the Orioles this season. He's the 14th to make his major league debut, which ties the record set in 1955. Adam Jones remains in the lineup in right field. Austin Wynns is catching and Jace Peterson is starting at third...

Stewart finds unique bond with Mullins

September 11, 2018, 7:03pm

Orioles

DJ Stewart sat next to Cedric Mullins in the Orioles' clubhouse yesterday, two guys who have to keep reminding their critics how it's unwise to judge a book by its cover. Or a player by his measurements. They're on opposite ends of the size spectrum, with Mullins listed at 5 foot 8 and 175 pounds - some gamblers might take the under on his height - and Stewart built like a fullback at a listed 6 feet and 230 pounds. As the media peeled away from Stewart's locker yesterday, shortly after the...

Showalter on Cobb and wrapping up a 3-2 loss

Orioles manager Buck Showalter noticed tonight how Alex Cobb was checking a finger on his right hand with two outs in the top of the second inning and knew instantly that pitching plans would have to be adjusted. That what appeared to be the makings of another solid start for Cobb would deteriorate into a bullpen game. Cobb had to be replaced in the third inning because the blister on his middle finger broke open again, and the Athletics scored three runs off Mike Wright Jr. and held on for a...

Cobb exits game after two innings (Orioles lose 3-2)

September 11, 2018, 4:09pm

Orioles

Alex Cobb lasted only two innings tonight, his shortest start with the Orioles, and it wasn't due to ineffectiveness or a soaring pitch count. Cobb has been receiving treatment for a blister on his right middle finger and the cut must have opened up again. Mike Wright Jr. began to warm in the Orioles bullpen after Cobb retired the side in order in the second inning on only nine pitches. Wright started the third inning and fell into immediate trouble, surrendering the game's first three...

Notes on Stewart, Jones, Rogers and Carroll

Orioles manager Buck Showalter said outfielder DJ Stewart will be in the lineup for Wednesday night's game against the Athletics at Camden Yards. Stewart's contract was purchased earlier today and he met with reporters in front of his locker before batting practice. "He's been out a little bit," Showalter said. "He worked out yesterday. I'm going to let him have a day here. I have plans to play him tomorrow and see where it takes us. "Take advantage of the opportunity we have to see...

Adam Jones has returned to the Orioles lineup tonight after missing the last three games of the road trip. Jones is in right field and batting cleanup. Cedric Mullins continues to lead off and play center field. Joey Rickard is in left. Jonathan Villar is starting at shortstop, with Breyvic Valera at second base. Chris Davis is the designated hitter. DJ Stewart isn't in the lineup. He's wearing No. 62. The Orioles needed to protect Stewart in the Rule 5 draft and decided to put him on the...

The Orioles are prepared to add two more players to their expanded roster this afternoon, selecting the contract of outfielder DJ Stewart and recalling reliever Cody Carroll. Stewart, a first-round pick in 2015 out of Florida State University, will become the 55th player used by the Orioles this season to establish the club record. He also will be the 14th to make his major league debut, tying the record set in 1955. The Orioles haven't announced the moves, but a source confirmed them. The...

Notes on Jones, Hays, Carroll and tonight's pitching matchup

The Orioles are down to their last 13 home games, giving fans 13 more chances to salute their captain, Adam Jones, before he's gone. And more if they're willing to travel to New York or Boston. How many times will they find him in the lineup? Jones will play this week. Manager Buck Showalter made it clear over the weekend that he isn't sitting Jones for the rest of the month. But does the plan call for a home/road split, with Jones staying on the bench outside of Camden Yards? Is there an...

Orioles

Alex Cobb has one more day to let the middle finger on his pitching hand heal before he starts Tuesday night's series opener against the Athletics at Camden Yards. If the weather allows it, of course. Cobb had a "touch and feel" session Saturday and completed a bullpen session yesterday without any concerns about the finger or the status of his start, which has been pushed back. "It was OK," he said. "It was good enough to look forward to my next outing on Tuesday. But probably a good...

Wrapping up an 8-3 loss and series sweep

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - The growing pains can be excruciating. Left-hander Josh Rogers made his third major league start today and retired only four batters. Eight of them reached base. The final walk back to the dugout was slowed by the six-run deficit attached to him. Jimmy Yacabonis regained control of the game, leaving the bases loaded in the second inning, but the Rays completed their sweep with an 8-3 victory at Tropicana Field that capped another disastrous trip for the Orioles. The...

Notes on rotation, impact of losing and mistakes (O's lose 8-3)

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Orioles manager Buck Showalter wondered today whether the media would offer up another question about the lineup. We didn't go there. What else is there to ask about Adam Jones' exclusion from it? Jones is expected to play in the series against the Athletics that starts Tuesday night at Camden Yards. He's got to feel rested after sitting out the current series against the Rays that's sandwiched between two off-days. Showalter confirmed that Alex Cobb will make Tuesday...
