Dylan Bundy has dealt with injuries, but Bobby Bundy has been through more
SARASOTA, Fla. - If you think pitcher Dylan Bundy has been through a lot with elbow and shoulder issues over the years, his older brother, Orioles minor league pitcher Bobby Bundy, has been through more. Bobby Bundy has had not one, but two major right knee ACL surgeries. He had bone spurs removed from his right elbow twice and, like Dylan, he also had Tommy John surgery. Bobby Bundy had right knee ACL surgery in December 2007. Despite that, the Orioles selected him in round eight of the 2008...

Minor league notes on Branden Kline, Mike Yastrzemski and more
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles have dealt with a series of injuries this year at major league camp. And, over at Twin Lakes Park, the O's minor league staff is dealing with a few as well.

Q&A with new Orioles pitching coach Roger McDowell

Orioles
Q&A with new Orioles pitching coach Roger McDowell
SARASOTA, Fla. - When the Orioles hired Roger McDowell as pitching coach in November, they got a man with a strong resume in the position. McDowell, who replaces Dave Wallace, spent the last 11 seasons as the Atlanta Braves pitching coach. During that run, the Braves ranked fourth in the majors with a 3.88 ERA, including a 3.58 ERA from a bullpen that ranked second in the major leagues. The staff ranked in the top five in ERA from 2009-2014 and led the majors with a 3.18 ERA in 2013. Braves...

Showalter on Álvarez's hot bat and Drake's struggles
FORT MYERS, Fla. - The Orioles could be adding two of their regular players soon. Third baseman Manny Machado and catcher Welington Castillo fly into Florida tonight. O's manager Buck Showalter said he would give them tomorrow off and they should be back at spring training camp on Wednesday. Both played for the Dominican Republic, which was eliminated Saturday night in the World Baseball Classic. Meanwhile, outfielder Seth Smith (hamstring) and utility man Ryan Flaherty (shoulder) are both...

ORIOLES QUICK WRAP Score: Red Sox 7, Orioles 4 Recap: The Orioles pitching struggled today. First, the scheduled starter Wade Miley was scratched due to flu-like symptoms.

Showalter updates Wade Miley's status, plus other notes
FORT MYERS, Fla. - Left-hander Vidal Nuño is starting today's game here for the Orioles against the Red Sox at JetBlue Park. The scheduled starter, left-hander Wade Miley, was scratched due to illness. He has flu-like symptoms. Miley has pitched just nine innings over four spring starts, but manager Buck Showalter doesn't feel his status to begin the year in the rotation is an issue due to missing this outing. It could be several days before he pitches again. "He's fine (to start the...

Mancini on pushing for roster spot, Britton on staying healthy
FORT MYERS, Fla. - Trey Mancini is back in the lineup here today for the Orioles, batting fifth and playing first base against the Red Sox. He is having a spring, just as he had hoped. He's hitting well and wants to force the Orioles to make a hard decision on him when mapping out their opening day roster. He's doing all he can to stick and force their hand. "Yeah, I mean, I'd say so, and that is what I sought to do," he said this morning. "I knew if it became a tough decision toward the...

A look at Ubaldo Jiménez and the pitching instructor that helped him

Orioles
A look at Ubaldo Jiménez and the pitching instructor that helped him
SARASOTA, Fla. - Inconsistent and erratic would be two words to describe right-hander Ubaldo Jiménez and his three years with the Orioles. But when he is good, he can be really good and we've seen that, too. Late last season, for instance. From Aug. 25 on, Jiménez pitched to an ERA of 2.45 in his last seven regular season starts with a WHIP of 0.86. That was at the end of a year where he went 8-12 overall with an ERA of 5.44 in 142 1/3 innings. One member of the organization that has...

Caleb Joseph on Kevin Gausman: "He was in complete control"
SARASOTA, Fla. - Kevin Gausman was facing a Detroit Tigers lineup that featured just one everyday player. But the man who had the best seat to watch the Orioles right-hander pitch today said his stuff was so good, that he would have had a dominant outing if this had been a regular season game. Gausman brought his A game and catcher Caleb Joseph said this outing would have played well against any team at any time in the regular season. Joseph provided a glowing assessment of Gausman's five...

A conversation with an Oriole with mixed loyalties last night
SARASOTA, Fla. - Of all the players in the Orioles clubhouse, maybe the most nervous and emotional about last night's Team USA game versus the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic was catcher Francisco Peña. He had two teammates on one team, with Adam Jones and Mychal Givens playing for the USA. He had his father, Tony Peña, managing in the other dugout. The first base coach with the Yankees, the elder Peña managed the Dominican Republic to the WBC championship in 2013 as...

Sisco gains valuable experience, Jones robs Machado in WBC
SARASOTA, Fla. - It must be satisfying and quite encouraging for any young player at Orioles spring training to get props from manager Buck Showalter. For catcher Chance Sisco, the club's No. 1-rated prospect, those words came after Friday's game in Bradenton. Sisco got the start against the Pirates, had an RBI single in a win and caught the first five innings. Showalter was particularly interested to see how the youngster handled Zach Britton's sinker and Britton pitched a scoreless top of...

Chris Tillman will resume throwing next week
TAMPA - The Orioles got some potentially encouraging news on right-hander Chris Tillman today, who is dealing with shoulder discomfort. He will resume throwing next week, but at the same time, manager Buck Showalter acknowledged that Tillman is not expected to pitch in the majors in April. Tillman, who got a cortisone injection in that shoulder on Wednesday, will take part in two throwing sessions next Wednesday and Friday. "He'll have two long-toss sessions," Showalter said in the...

Gausman talks Tillman, Bundy, expectations and more
SARASOTA, Fla. - In some respects, Orioles pitcher Kevin Gausman has been where right-hander Chris Tillman wants to go. It was about one year ago when Gausman got a cortisone injection for a right shoulder strain. He missed the beginning of the 2016 season, but he returned to start for the Orioles on April 25, pitched 180 innings, had a very strong year and did that with no further shoulder issues. Tillman might sign up for that right now if he could. Tillman got his own cortisone injection for...
