Orioles
Orioles down 1-0 after one pitch (Hardy homers, O's lead 8-4)
Shortstop J.J. Hardy embraced teammates Manny Machado and Jonathan Schoop in right field while warming up before today's final home game of the 2017 season. Likely the last for Hardy in an Orioles uniform as free agency approaches. It's an emotional day for Hardy and his teammates, and not only because the club has been eliminated from the wild card chase and can't finish .500. It's gotten off to a bad start. Kevin Kiermaier homered on the first pitch from Chris Tillman, an 89 mph...

Bundy update, Britton and Davis on failure to make playoffs

Orioles
Bundy update, Britton and Davis on failure to make playoffs
Orioles pitcher Dylan Bundy was scratched from today's start against the Rays due to a strained left hamstring. The club made the announcement about an hour before first pitch at Camden Yards Chris Tillman will make the start to close out the last homestand of the 2017 season. Bundy's status for next week is uncertain. The Orioles are off Monday and Thursday and make trips to Pittsburgh and St. Petersburg, Fla., for the final five games. As the veterans inside the Orioles clubhouse try to put...

Orioles
Bundy scratched from today's start
The Orioles have scratched Dylan Bundy from today's start against the Rays. Chris Tillman will take his place. No reason has been given for the switch. The Orioles said they will provide more information later this afternoon. Bundy is 13-9 with a 4.24 ERA in 28 starts over 169 2/3 innings. He would have been working on an extra day of rest. Manager Buck Showalter chose Bundy after the right-hander had a good work day. They met yesterday in Showalter's office before batting practice. Tillman...

Flaherty on Hardy: "He's the rock of the whole team"
The Orioles are playing their final home game of the 2017 season today, and shortstop J.J. Hardy is going to find his name in the lineup. Tim Beckham's hamstring injury isn't a factor. Hardy was expected to start anyway. Don't let the moment go unnoticed if you're sitting in the stands. It's Fan Appreciation Weekend, but that sentiment can extend to a veteran player. Lots of people in the organization are hoping that the crowd grasps the importance of Hardy's inclusion and what he's...

Orioles eliminated from race, assured of losing record (with quotes)

Orioles
Orioles eliminated from race, assured of losing record (with quotes)
The Orioles won't post another winning record in 2017. They won't finish at .500. The last flicker of hope for a berth in the wild card game has disappeared. The remaining goal is to stay out of last place and stay healthy. Jeremy Hellickson retired the first eight batters he faced before surrendering a three-run homer to Lucas Duda in the third inning, the bullpen couldn't keep the game close and the Orioles' five-run rally in the ninth only narrowed the margin in a 9-6 loss to the Rays...

Castro and Givens' innings, Hays in right and more (O's down 6-1)
Kevin Gausman will start the first game against the Pirates on Tuesday night in Pittsburgh, the latest rotation revelation for the Orioles as they weigh all of their pitching options in the final week of the season. Manager Buck Showalter said Wednesday was "a little up in the air." "We've got on our board five options, depending on who we have to use out of the bullpen and some other things that go on there," Showalter said. Miguel Castro isn't likely to get a start next week, mostly due...

Mark Trumbo is back in the Orioles lineup tonight as the designated hitter. Austin Hays continues to play right field. Welington Castillo is catching. Left-handers are hitting .216 against Tampa Bay right-hander Jake Odorizzi this season and .222 in his career. He's a reverse-splits guy and the lineups against him reflect it. Adam Jones is 13-for-40 (.325) with a double and two home runs lifetime against Odorizzi. Jonathan Schoop is 8-for-24 (.333) with three doubles and a home run. Manny...

Seven games left for Trumbo and Davis to heat up

Orioles
Seven games left for Trumbo and Davis to heat up
Orioles manager Buck Showalter sat Mark Trumbo for last night's game against the Rays and gave Chris Davis another start at first base. He's tried rest and repetition, but nothing has worked to ignite the two sluggers. Time is fast running out. Trumbo is 12-for-64 (.188) this month, including a current 0-for-16 stretch with seven strikeouts that's dropped his season average to .235. His .290 on-base percentage would be the lowest of his career, a hair worse than the .291 he posted with the...

Jiménez lasts only three innings in 8-3 loss (with quotes)

Orioles
Jiménez lasts only three innings in 8-3 loss (with quotes)
Ubaldo Jiménez would like to get back two pitches thrown tonight in the second inning. Both of them 92 mph fastballs. Both ending up in bad locations. Both causing a lot of pain. One fastball was planted in the back of leadoff hitter Logan Morrison with the count 0-2. The other was launched to left field by Wilson Ramos for a grand slam. If Jiménez was making his final Camden Yards start with the Orioles, as presumed, he went out in a blaze of gory. Jiménez allowed six runs over three...

Schoop's award, Britton's injection and more (O's down 7-3)
Jonathan Schoop credited his selection as Most Valuable Oriole to the consistency he's gained through hard work, and he vows to be an improved player in 2018. He won't rest on the honor. Schoop batted .295/.347/.536 with 23 doubles, 18 home runs and 54 RBIs in 86 games in the first half. He's batting .295/.332/.487 with 10 doubles, 14 home runs and 51 RBIs in 66 games since the break. "Anytime you get an award, it's something special. It's nice," he said. "I just want to get better and...

Jonathan Schoop is assured of receiving votes this year for Most Valuable Player in the American League. In the meantime, he's being honored as the top player on his team. Schoop has been chosen as the recipient of this year's Louis M. Hatter Most Valuable Oriole Award by members of the local media who cover the team on a regular basis. He will be recognized for his accomplishments in an on-field ceremony prior to Sunday's final home regular season game against the Rays. Ballots aren't made...

Ynoa goes career-high eight innings in 3-1 win (with quotes)
The Orioles broke their streak tonight of consecutive innings without a run at 26. Busted it, jumped on it, grinded it in their heels. Then they started a new one and relied on Gabriel Ynoa to make an early lead stand up. Manny Machado hit a two-run homer to put the Orioles ahead just two batters into the bottom of the first inning and Ynoa pitched a career-high eight innings in a 3-1 victory over the Rays before an announced crowd of 14,967 at Camden Yards. Trey Mancini contributed an RBI...

Orioles
Wondering if Jiménez is making his final start with Orioles
Is Ubaldo Jiménez making his last start tonight for the Orioles? This isn't a question regarding 2018. The Orioles won't re-sign Jiménez as a free agent. I have no idea what kind of offers he's going to field over the winter, but this team won't jump into the bidding. The rotation over the remaining eight games is mostly a riddle. The only confirmed starter moving forward is right-hander Jeremy Hellickson, who takes the mound on Saturday against his former team. Kevin Gausman will get...

Notes on Machado, Beckham, Britton and more (O's lead 3-1)
The Orioles completed their batting practice session and the lineup hasn't changed. Unless there's a late switch, Manny Machado will play third base and bat second. Machado is recovering from an illness that kept him out of last night's game. Showalter advised the media earlier today to avoid copying the lineup in ink. "Want to see if he gets to feeling better moving around or not, so he's kind of 50-50," Showalter said. "We'll see how he feels. "This stuff going around isn't some...

Hays chosen as Orioles minor league Player of the Year
The Orioles have chosen Double-A Bowie outfielder Austin Hays as their Brooks Robinson Minor League Player of the Year, a selection that seemed obvious for a long time. Hays, 22, batted a combined .329/.365/593 with 32 doubles, five triples, 32 home runs and 95 RBIs in 128 games at Bowie and Single-A Frederick. The Orioles selected his contract on Sept. 5, and last year's third-round draft pick has gone 7-for-27 with two doubles and a home run. Hays was named the Carolina League's Player of...

More on Britton's knee and Ynoa's latest opportunity
The news that closer Zach Britton isn't expected to require a surgical procedure on his left knee can be taken two ways. The obvious one is with glee. Who roots for surgery? However, I've continued to wonder why another MRI didn't show anything structurally wrong, but he's continued to pitch through the discomfort since 2014. What's the cause and why should the club be confident that the knee will "heal itself" over the winter? It hasn't happened up to this point or there wouldn't be a...

Updating Britton and Showalter speaks after 9-0 loss
Orioles closer Zach Britton will receive a stem cell injection in his left knee on Thursday afternoon and is expected to be shut down for the last nine games of the season, which continued to turn sour with tonight's 9-0 loss to the Red Sox at Camden Yards. The Orioles will monitor how Britton responds to the injection, but also where they stand as they move through their final homestand and hit the road for series in Pittsburgh and St. Petersburg, Fla. "The plan is do that now and then see...
