SARASOTA, Fla. - The workout held today for Orioles outfielder DJ Stewart looked simple in nature. He did some light running on the dirt cart path along one of the practice fields, increasing his speed and intensity as the minutes passed. For a player coming off ankle surgery in October and unwilling to surrender the hope of being ready for opening day, each step taken by Stewart is an important achievement. Stewart, the former first-round draft pick out of Florida State University, underwent a...

Orioles
SARASOTA, Fla. - Hunter Harvey isn't in Orioles camp so they can check on his health. He isn't here to get in some work before heading over to the minor league complex. Harvey is expected to be part of an eight-man bullpen on opening day, perhaps assuming the role of closer. High-leverage situations, for sure. Except that he isn't buying into the hype and assumptions. Asked whether the camp felt any different to him yesterday, Harvey replied, "I wouldn't think so." In Harvey's mind, only...
