Orioles on the road and back in division

Orioles
Orioles on the road and back in division
If the Orioles are looking to get healthy, and not only from an injury standpoint, taking their act on the road would seem to be counterproductive. Sort of like trying to line the batter's box under water. Wins at any locale haven't been plentiful, but the Orioles are 11-23 away from Camden Yards. They're starting a three-game series tonight at Tropicana Field, with manager Buck Showalter returning to them, and they'll fly to Toronto for three more after Monday's off-day. Heading into last...

Orioles inch closer to record in 6-3 loss (Ynoa optioned)

Orioles
Orioles inch closer to record in 6-3 loss (Ynoa optioned)
Orioles left-hander Richard Bleier wiped out an inherited runner tonight in the top of the sixth inning by coaxing a double play grounder from Indians catcher Yan Gomes. It wasn't just about keeping the deficit at two runs. It was the latest attempt to end an embarrassing streak. Bleier got two quick strikes on Erik González, threw a cutter and watched the ball disappear over the fence in left-center field. History still can be made. A pitching staff still can fail to locate in any count...

Orioles
Russell on the bullpen, an 18-game streak and more (O's down 5-2)
Orioles bench coach John Russell has substituted in the past for manager Buck Showalter. He isn't wandering into new territory. His greatest challenge tonight? "Make sure Buck has some pitching for tomorrow," he said. "I think that's the big thing. Make sure Roger (McDowell) and I try to run the bullpen to where we feel like we've got a good opportunity for the next few days, because one game can affect a team for the next four or five games. We've had a little bit of struggles and our...

Russell on Showalter: "Pretty happy grandfather"
Orioles manager Buck Showalter and wife Angela are the proud grandparents of a 9-pound, 1-ounce boy. Daughter Allie is doing fine. Showalter flew into Dallas early this morning. Bench coach John Russell, who's serving as interim manager tonight, exchanged text messages with Showalter. Included was a photo of Angela holding the baby and Showalter sitting next to them. "Pretty happy grandfather," Russell said. "He's doing fine. I don't know if he quite made it for the actual birth, but I...

Orioles lineup vs. Indians
Adam Jones is missing from the Orioles lineup tonight, with Craig Gentry starting in center field and batting ninth. Gentry is starting for the first time since May 12 in Kansas City. Jonathan Schoop moves up to third in the order. Welington Castillo is behind the plate after sitting out last night's game with a sore right shoulder. Trey Mancini is batting .357 (25-for-70) this month. He's batting .330 (36-for-109) against right-handers this season. Mancini is batting .340 (34-for-100) in 28...

Orioles
Mancini at first, draft signings, Fister and tonight's game
While the Orioles continue to evaluate shortstop Rubén Tejada, they're also learning more about Trey Mancini as a first baseman. They already know how easily he adapts to the outfield. Mancini is getting regular starts at his natural position while Chris Davis is on the disabled list with a strained oblique. He corralled a ground ball last night from Carlos Santana near the line and flipped to Kevin Gausman to end the fourth inning and strand two runners in a scoreless game. A dropped pop...

Orioles
Orioles continue historical run with 5-1 loss (with quotes)
Kevin Gausman was striking out batters and putting up zeros tonight, the fog lifting from him on a night that another game was delayed at the start by rain. The only storm clouds that returned were the kind that come with scattered runs. The tarp was rolled. Gausman was rolling. And then the Indians got to him in the fifth. Gausman struck out the first batter and allowed four straight hits, including Roberto Pérez's RBI double to break a scoreless tie and Francisco Lindor's two-run homer...

Showalter on Tillman and Gausman (O's down 3-0)
Dark clouds rolled into Camden Yards, the tarp is on the field and the start of tonight's game will be delayed. The grounds crew got the infield ready before covering it. This will be the 10th delay endured by the Orioles this season, including a postponement in D.C. Eight of them have occurred at Camden Yards. Chris Tillman is listed as Sunday's starter against the Rays at Tropicana Field, just as manager Buck Showalter stated following last night's game. Tillman remains in the rotation...

Britton on feeling "normal" again, plus other notes
Tonight's game hasn't started and the Orioles already feel better about the back end of their bullpen. Closer Zach Britton's left arm responded well to last night's 12-pitch inning at short-season Single-A Aberdeen. He's scheduled to pitch Thursday and Saturday at Single-A Delmarva and likely will report to Double-A Bowie. Darren O'Day threw a simulated game before batting practice today without any discomfort in his right shoulder. If he's fine on Thursday, the Orioles will activate him...

Paul Janish is starting at shortstop tonight and Caleb Joseph is behind the plate as the Orioles continue their series against the Indians at Camden Yards. Hyun Soo Kim continues to start in left field. Manny Machado is 7-for-18 (.389) with two doubles, three home runs, eight RBIs and five runs scored in five games since moving up to second in the order. The Orioles have allowed five runs or more in 17 consecutive games to tie the American League record held by the 1901 Philadelphia Athletics,...

This, that and the other

Orioles
This, that and the other
The Orioles' decision yesterday to transfer Zach Britton to the 60-day disabled list caused a bit of a stir among fans who assumed that the closer's return had been pushed back. Not true. Britton is eligible to come off the disabled list on July 4. He's always been a candidate for the 60-day. Manager Buck Showalter already dismissed July 1 as a possible return date. The Orioles could have Britton back in their bullpen as soon as he's eligible, depending on whether he needs to remain on his...

Machado homers twice, collects four hits in 6-5 win (with quotes)
The Orioles are barreling toward a record that could cause their season to spiral out of control unless they can put their own spin on it. The pitching staff has allowed five or more runs in 17 consecutive games, three short of the major league mark set by the 1924 Phillies. And there hasn't been much drama attached as their starters keep hitting the magic number. The only solution for the Orioles might be to keep trying to outslug the opposition. Get more than they give up. It's a rough way...

Nuño on demotion and Hart on return (O's lead 6-5)
In case anyone missed the update earlier today, the Orioles selected outfielder Craig Gentry's contract from Triple-A Norfolk and optioned first baseman/outfielder David Washington to the Tides. Closer Zach Britton was transferred to the 60-day disabled list to open a spot for Gentry on the 40-man roster. Britton can come back July 4, so the move doesn't impact his schedule. Otherwise, the Orioles would have taken a different route. The Orioles optioned left-hander Vidal Nuño earlier in...

Notes on Gentry, Hart, Bundy and more (updated)
The Orioles could make a second roster move later today. The wheels are in motion. They already announced that left-hander Donnie Hart was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk and southpaw Vidal Nuño was optioned to the Tides. They also are trying to get another player here before tonight's game against the Indians. Otherwise, the move would be completed on Wednesday. It's believed that they have summoned outfielder Craig Gentry, which could put David Washington's roster spot in jeopardy....

Hart back in Baltimore (plus Orioles lineup)
Left-hander Donnie Hart is in the Orioles clubhouse today and lefty Vidal Nuño was called into manager Buck Showalter's office. A roster move is coming. Nuño has allowed home runs in all three appearances since the Orioles recalled him on Friday. He could be optioned or placed on the disabled list. Update: Nuño said he's been optioned. He's been battling a sore oblique, but an MRI on him came back clean. He said he's also been bothered by hip and knee problems this season. Rubén...

Machado and Castillo slip to fourth in All-Star voting
The Orioles are headed in the wrong direction in All-Star Game voting. Manny Machado has dropped from third to fourth place among American League third baseman, Welington Castillo has fallen from third to fourth among catchers and Adam Jones is 14th among outfielders. He was 13th last week. The voting period ends June 29 at 11:59 p.m. The game will be played on July 11. The Blue Jays' Josh Donaldson passed Machado for third place and the Yankees' Gary Sánchez passed Castillo. First basemen...

Orioles
Hardy becomes latest Oriole lost to injury
The Orioles officially lost half of their infield yesterday with shortstop J.J. Hardy going on the disabled list with a fractured right wrist. First baseman Chris Davis beat him to it with a strained right oblique. Manny Machado and Jonathan Schoop might want to tone down the celebratory handshake. They could hurt themselves. Get pied at your own risk. The bullpen is missing closer Zach Britton, set-up man Darren O'Day and Mike Wright. Utility player Ryan Flaherty had a setback yesterday while...

Bundy turns in shortest start of season in 12-0 loss (with quotes)
Do the Orioles need to start worrying about Dylan Bundy? As if a pile of injuries isn't enough to keep them awake nights. Bundy turned in his shortest start of the season tonight, lasting only 4 1/3 innings, and the Orioles managed three baserunners against Corey Kluber in an 12-0 loss to the Indians at Camden Yards in a game that started 29 minutes late due to rain. The tarp was more entertaining. The Indians sent nine batters to the plate in the fourth and fifth innings, with Francisco...

Janish returns to Orioles with Hardy on disabled list (O's down 11-0)
The Orioles selected infielder Paul Janish's contract from Triple-A Norfolk today and placed shortstop J.J. Hardy on the 10-day disabled list with a right wrist fracture. The 40-man roster is full. Janish accepted his outright assignment after the Orioles designated him on June 6 to create a spot for infielder Rubén Tejada. Hardy showed up at Camden Yards today carrying a plastic brace and a roll of cloth medical tape. His right wrist and forearm were wrapped as the clubhouse opened to the...

Machado staying at third base (and other notes)
The Orioles continue to wait on the weather before making a roster move involving shortstop J.J. Hardy and the infielder that's replacing him on the 25-man roster. Manager Buck Showalter indicated that he wants to keep Manny Machado at third base and evaluate Rubén Tejada at shortstop. Showalter left open the possibility that Machado could play shortstop later, but it's not in the immediate plans. Showalter felt that it was taxing on Machado last season to move him between third base and...
