Orioles hoping to re-Wright rotation script (O's win 4-1)

Orioles hoping to re-Wright rotation script (O's win 4-1)
Expected to join Triple-A Norfolk's rotation and make tonight's start, right-hander Mike Wright instead remains with the Orioles and is taking his normal turn against the Royals. Baseball is both funny and unpredictable. Wright was optioned and recalled last week before the water in the clubhouse shower had time to get warm. He replaced injured reliever Darren O'Day on the roster and outlasted the other starting candidates for tonight's game. "As opposed to who?" Showalter asked, a...

Updates on Hardy, Joseph and Gallardo (plus KC lineup)
Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy fielded 25 ground balls hit directly at him this morning in Sarasota to further test his fractured left foot. Hardy has been throwing, taking dry swings and hitting off a tee. He's making progress that continues to encourage the Orioles. "He's out there moving around a little bit. That's good to see," said manager Buck Showalter. Hardy will come back to Baltimore "as soon as he gets into full baseball activities," Showalter said. "As soon as he gets where...

Orioles
Notes on Hyun Soo Kim and tonight's game
The Orioles are facing another left-hander tonight, Kansas City's Danny Duffy, which could keep Hyun Soo Kim on the bench for another game. It's the only way to remove a .377 hitter from the lineup. A hitter with a .449 on-base percentage. A scout from outside the organization said he has to tear up his old scouting report on Kim from spring training and change the grade assigned to the former Korean Baseball Organization star. The scout noted improvements in Kim's body language, approach at...

Showalter after win: "They won't dwell on it long"
Orioles manager Buck Showalter confirmed that Mike Wright will start Monday night against the Royals at Camden Yards. Showalter used T.J. McFarland out of the bullpen today, and the left-hander earned the win in a 3-1 victory over the Yankees before 28,807 at Camden Yards. Matt Wieters sat through the first seven innings today. He sat through a 1 hour, 37 minute rain delay. Sent to the plate in the eighth as a pinch-hitter for Ryan Flaherty, he fell behind 0-2 on two Aroldis Chapman 99 mph...

Orioles
Mike Wright appears set to make Monday start (O's win 3-1)
The Orioles apparently have decided to start Mike Wright in Monday night's series opener against the Royals at Camden Yards. Remember when they optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk? Seems like only yesterday. Actually, it was Thursday afternoon, when they selected left-hander Brian Duensing's contract from Norfolk. The Orioles recalled Wright while placing reliever Darren O'Day on the disabled list with a hamstring injury. He never left Baltimore. Left-hander T.J. McFarland was the other...

Caleb Joseph: "I'm feeling really good" (updated)
Teammates walked up to Orioles catcher Caleb Joseph this morning, grabbed his hand, leaned in and offered what best can be described as a gentle hug. No contact below the belt. Joseph smiled and exchanged quips. He's heard them all and it's his turn to deliver a few at his own expense. Joseph sustained a testicular injury Monday night after being struck by a foul tip. He underwent a surgical procedure at the University of Maryland Medical Center that left in him extreme discomfort until about...

Notes on Hardy, Joseph, the rotation and Lee
Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy played catch from 90 feet yesterday as he continues his recovery from a fractured left foot. The throwing required Hardy to apply pressure to the foot. "That was good to see, that he was out on the field and throwing," said manager Buck Showalter. "Carry a little pressure on the foot to do that. That was good to see." Caleb Joseph received gentle hugs from teammates at his locker this morning, his first appearance at Camden Yards since suffering a testicular...

How the lineup may unfold vs. a southpaw
Orioles manager Buck Showalter has a tough decision to make regarding his lineup for today's series finale against the Yankees at Camden Yards. It may not matter if the forecast stays the same - thunderstorms day and night - but let's play this as though the weather is going to cooperate. Left-hander CC Sabathia is on the mound for the Yankees. Hyun Soo Kim is on fire, but he's accumulated only three plate appearances against southpaws in the majors and doesn't have a hit. Does he sit...

Orioles
Showalter speaks after 8-6 loss
The Orioles couldn't rely on their lineup tonight to cover for the sins of their rotation. It came pretty darn close, though. Tyler Wilson lasted only four innings and the Orioles' winning streak ended at three games with an 8-6 loss to the Yankees before 33,170 at Camden Yards. The Orioles bashed three more home runs in the seventh inning - Mark Trumbo's leadoff shot, Pedro Alvarez's two-run shot and Adam Jones' three-run shot. Trumbo and Alvarez connected off starter Ivan Nova and Jones...

Orioles still unsure when O'Day will return (O's lose 8-6)
Orioles manager Buck Showalter isn't certain that reliever Darren O'Day will be ready to come off the disabled list when eligible after 15 days. "It will be close, I hope, if things fall right, but don't hold me to it," Showalter said. "It could be longer." O'Day reinjured his right hamstring Wednesday night while covering first base. The Orioles put him on the disabled list yesterday afternoon. Because it's a high hamstring strain, the recovery period may last longer and delay his...

McFarland remains in running for Monday's start (with NY lineup)
The Orioles still haven't listed a starter for Monday night's game against the Royals at Camden Yards. Ubaldo Jimenez and Chris Tillman will close out the series. Left-hander T.J. McFarland remains a candidate to make his third major league start and his first since July, 1, 2014 versus the Rangers. Mike Wright also is a consideration after the Orioles recalled him from Triple-A Norfolk to replace injured reliever Darren O'Day. "Not yet," said manager Buck Showalter. "See how the next two...

The Orioles are using the same lineup on back-to-back nights as they try to extend their winning streak to four games. Hyun Soo Kim is in left field and batting second. Mark Trumbo is in right field, Pedro Alvarez is the designated hitter and Ryan Flaherty is the third baseman. According to STATS, LLC., Mychal Givens is the first Orioles pitcher to begin his major league career with seven consecutive wins as a reliever. He's 5-0 this season after being credited with last night's...

Will Wilson win at home tonight?
Tyler Wilson takes the mound tonight with a chance to win his first game at Camden Yards. All four of his major league victories have come on the road. This is news to Wilson, who had no idea until I brought it up yesterday afternoon in the clubhouse. "Is that right?" he said with eyes widening. "I was not aware of that." So we can assume he isn't losing sleep over it. Good for him. We'll just stash it in the "fun fact" file. Wilson is 0-4 with a 3.40 ERA in 10 career games at home and...

Showalter speaks after 6-5 win
The Orioles demonstrated again tonight that they're quite comfortable playing from behind. A three-run deficit means nothing, especially in the middle of a game. Especially with a lineup that gets quiet for spells and then shatters the eardrums. They rallied to tie the score in the sixth and went ahead for good in the seventh to bail out starter Chris Tillman and defeat the Yankees 6-5 before 25,220 at Camden Yards. The Red Sox lost to the Blue Jays, allowing the Orioles to take over first...

The bullpen and booing Teixeira (O's win 6-5)
Orioles manager Buck Showalter believes his bullpen is in good shape for tonight's series opener against the Yankees at Camden Yards despite the loss of setup man Darren O'Day, who went on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right hamstring. Showalter used Brad Brach for only one inning last night to keep the right-hander available. Mychal Givens worked two innings last night and most likely will be rested, but Showalter has other available arms, including T.J. McFarland and closer Zach...

More from Showalter on O'Day's DL assignment (plus notes)
The tarp is on the field and a light rain is falling at Camden Yards. However, the Orioles expect to play tonight. No batting practice for the Yankees, who are on the field to play catch. If it makes them feel any better, the Orioles also have to hit indoors. The Orioles seem to be averaging a roster move per day to make up for lost time. They returned Mike Wright to the 25-man roster today while placing Darren O'Day on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right hamstring. Wright never...

Orioles
O'Day headed to DL with hamstring strain (plus Orioles lineup)
Reliever Darren O'Day has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a right hamstring strain. The injury occurred in the eighth inning of Wednesday night's game when O'Day was covering first base on Ryan Hanigan's infielder grounder. O'Day is 2-1 with a 3.15 ERA in 22 appearances out of the bullpen, but the five home runs he has allowed match his total in 68 games last season. To replace O'Day on the 25-man roster, the Orioles recalled right-hander Mike Wright from Triple-A Norfolk....

The Orioles are listing TBD, Jimenez and Chris Tillman as their starters for the Royals series that begins Monday night at Camden Yards. Showalter must replace Mike Wright, who was optioned yesterday to Triple-A Norfolk. Relievers T.J. McFarland and Vance Worley are two candidates. Yovani Gallardo is not, with the Orioles wanting...
