Asher and Jiménez candidates to start Friday (plus other notes)
Orioles manager Buck Showalter indicated today that he's choosing between Alec Asher and Ubaldo Jiménez to make Friday night's start against the Red Sox at Camden Yards. Showalter said the decision will be made Tuesday to let everyone know and prepare accordingly. "We'll decide what direction we're going to go tomorrow, take everything in, see how everybody's feeling, see how we get through today," he said. "It's just been such a quick turnaround. We talked a little bit on the plane...

Jones scratched from lineup

Orioles
Jones scratched from lineup
Orioles manager Buck Showalter warned the media today to write out its lineup in pencil. He needed to check on a few players, including Adam Jones, who's been bothered by soreness in his left ankle and hip since the Tigers series May 16-18 in Detroit. Jones worked out in the outfield this morning and he's been scratched from the lineup. Joey Rickard has moved to center field, with Trey Mancini going from first base to left field. Chris Davis is at first base and Welington Castillo is the...

Can Bundy bring what's needed again today?

Orioles
Can Bundy bring what's needed again today?
Imagine that it's January and you're counting down the days until spring training, totally unaware that injuries would rob the Orioles of their No. 1 starter and closer. Or that Kevin Gausman would get off to a slow start and Ubaldo Jiménez would be headed back to the bullpen. Perhaps you were braced for Jiménez's latest removal from the rotation, but he also may have raised hopes with his 2.31 ERA and 0.829 WHIP in September. You want to believe. There are 50 million reasons to be...

Chris Davis: "I'm just not picking up the ball"

Chris Davis: "I'm just not picking up the ball"
HOUSTON - With three more strikeouts today, Orioles first baseman Chris Davis raised his season total to 74 in 47 games. Mark Reynolds, later a teammate in Baltimore, holds the major league record with 223 in 2009. Davis isn't the sole issue with the Orioles, not when they've lost seven games in a row and 13 of their last 16. There's lots of blame to be spread around. But he's got the $161 million contract, a spot in the middle of the lineup and the scrutiny that comes with both of...

Orioles
Asher's short start leads to longer losing streak
HOUSTON - Now what? The Orioles lost another lead this afternoon, and it happened again in alarming fashion. Alec Asher threw 42 pitches in the second inning, surrendered six runs to the Astros, and didn't return for the third. A golden opportunity went unclaimed. Ubaldo Jiménez made his 2017 bullpen debut and the Orioles continued their losing ways with an 8-4 defeat that completed another sweep. The Astros sent 10 batters to the plate in the second and hit for the cycle. Carlos Correa and...

HOUSTON - Orioles manager Buck Showalter sounded confident today that Adam Jones will return to the lineup for Monday afternoon's series opener against the Yankees at Camden Yards. Jones remains out of the lineup with soreness in his left ankle and hip. "He's doing well. He's getting better," Showalter said. "Could have pushed the envelope today if we wanted to. I expect him to be back in the lineup starting tomorrow if he continues to feel like he does today." No tests have been...

Asher's latest start could be his most important
HOUSTON - This isn't Alec Asher's first start with the Orioles. So, why does it feel that way? Asher made his Orioles debut on April 15 in Toronto because they needed a fifth starter. He got another chance on May 2 in Boston. Manager Buck Showalter kept sorting through his options - Asher, Jayson Aquino, Gabriel Ynoa, Tyler Wilson - while hoping that a six-man bullpen wouldn't be exposed. Showalter is turning to Asher again today, giving him the spot that belonged to Ubaldo Jiménez. It's...

Orioles' losing streak reaches six games (with quotes)
HOUSTON - The center fielder is hurting, the closer is still playing catch in Sarasota, the losses are piling up and a team that once resided in first place in its division is more within reach of the cellar than the penthouse. No one said "seller." It's only May and the Orioles are above .500. But their losing streak grew to six games tonight and it's not too soon to wonder how long it can stretch. Astros left-hander Dallas Keuchel came off the disabled list and allowed only one run over...

Jiménez: "I have a lot of faith that things change" (O's down 5-2)
HOUSTON - Ubaldo Jiménez is back in the Orioles bullpen tonight, unsure if his latest demotion will bring better results when he's on the mound. Unsure exactly when he'll get on a mound. This is a confusing time for Jiménez, who says that his mechanics aren't an issue this season. If not, where did he go wrong? Asked whether he can work on anything specific, Jiménez replied, "Not really, because I don't think my mechanics were bad. I was just getting hit. That's pretty much what...

HOUSTON - Orioles center fielder Adam Jones is out of tonight's lineup due to a sore left ankle and hip. Jones jammed the ankle during a game in Detroit. He felt the discomfort while chasing a ball in the outfield and compounded the issue on the bases. Manager Buck Showalter said no tests are planned at the moment, but Jones could be examined when the team returns to Baltimore. He may undergo X-rays or an MRI. The Orioles are hoping that a day or two on the bench will prevent Jones from going...

HOUSTON - The Orioles added and subtracted a left-hander from the bullpen before tonight's game against the Astros at Minute Maid Park. Donnie Hart has been recalled from Triple-A Norfolk and Jayson Aquino has been optioned to the Tides. Hart was optioned on May 17. He became eligible today to return following the required 10-day period. Hart is 1-0 and a 3.95 ERA in 19 appearances, with six runs and 19 hits in 13 2/3 innings. He's walked four batters and struck out 16. Left-handers are...

Close losses, Machado doubles up and tonight's matchup
HOUSTON - The Orioles used to be a team that won the close games. They had a knack, but now it's a knock against them. Eleven of their last 12 losses have been by two runs or fewer. They were 8-1 in one-run games, but now are 8-8. And they're no longer in second place, with the Red Sox passing them last night. In their last 15 road games, the Orioles have gone 4-11 to lower their record to 10-14 away from home. The stretch of 11 losses in their last 14 games began with the disastrous ninth...

Orioles waste Gausman quality start, scoring chances (updated)
HOUSTON - Kevin Gausman made it through the third inning tonight with only one run allowed despite a couple of hits and an error. A solo home run by Jake Marisnick was the only damage on the scoreboard. The inning had the potential to hurt him in other ways. Gausman threw 33 pitches to raise his total to 64. An Orioles starter was piling up the pitches again and likely forcing the bullpen to get busy. Meanwhile, he kept waiting for the offense to do it. Gausman gained better control of his...

HOUSTON - Ubaldo Jiménez is moving to the bullpen beginning tonight, as the Orioles shake up their rotation by inserting Alec Asher for Sunday's series finale against the Astros. Manager Buck Showalter said his decision was made Wednesday while Asher worked two scoreless innings on 24 pitches. He just wasn't making it public. "We could have put him out there for a third inning, but didn't want to," Showalter said. "I thought it was a perfect spot for him to get three days down and...

HOUSTON - The Orioles are listing Alec Asher as Sunday's starter against the Astros. Asher is closing out the series. Whether the Orioles remain open to giving Ubaldo Jiménez another opportunity is unknown at the present time. Asher is 1-2 with a 2.17 ERA and 1.069 WHIP in 29 innings in his 11 appearances this season. In his two starts, he's allowed four runs and nine hits in 12 1/3 innings, with two walks and nine strikeouts. Both outings have been quality starts. Though he was used out...

Because the Orioles have been regularly facing left-handed pitchers and Trey Mancini has been productive, Kim has found playing time hard to come by.

Orioles outright Luis Sardiñas
HOUSTON - Only a few days after claiming infielder Luis Sardiñas off waivers, the Orioles were able to outright him to Triple-A Norfolk to improve their depth while Ryan Flaherty remains on the disabled list. Sardiñas, who turned 24 earlier this month, made it through waivers on a second attempt and was assigned to the Tides. The Orioles claimed Sardiñas on Wednesday while wrapping up their series against the Twins at Camden Yards. He was placed on the 40-man roster, occupying the last...

Orioles
Will Houston be a problem for Orioles?
A team that's lost 10 of its last 13 games also can't catch a break from the schedule. The Orioles, fresh off a three-game sweep at the hands of the Twins, are now subjected to the Astros, another first-place team that also owned the best record in baseball heading into last night. The memories at Minute Maid Park still can make a clubhouse cringe. The Orioles were swept last summer and set a major league record with 52 strikeouts in a three-game series. The finale was exactly one year ago...
