Orioles manager Brandon Hyde hinted at the possibility yesterday. How left-hander Richard Bleier's reset could involve a trip to the injured list. A medical check would determine the next course of action, which was confirmed this morning. Bleier is IL bound, the move backdated to yesterday. "He's got a little bit of shoulder tendinitis," Hyde said. "Like we talked about, he wasn't bouncing back, he didn't feel that he had the same stuff, as well as his arm just wasn't recovering the...

After they lost three straight to the Yankees and two of three to the Oakland Athletics in this current series, the Orioles host the A's again this afternoon. The game marks the end of this four-game series and seven-game homestand before a road trip begins in Boston Friday night. The Orioles beat Oakland 12-4 Monday, but lost the last two nights by 13-2 and 10-3 scores. During this homestand, O's pitching has allowed 23 homers and 56 runs. MLB leaders, homers allowed: 32 - Orioles23 -...

After he made a favorable impression during his first spring training with the Orioles, manager Brandon Hyde told right-hander Josh Lucas he expected to see him during the regular season. And now, just 12 games into the 2019 season, that has happened. With Richard Bleier headed to the injured list and Josh Rogers optioned back to the minors after last night's game, today the Orioles added two pitchers - lefty Tanner Scott and Lucas, a 28-year-old right-hander. Lucas had his contract selected...

A medical check yesterday on Orioles reliever Richard Bleier revealed tendinitis in his left shoulder and the need to put him on the 10-day injured list. The Orioles are recalling left-hander Tanner Scott and selecting the contract of reliever Josh Lucas from Triple-A Norfolk. Left-hander Josh Rogers was optioned after last night's game. The 40-man roster had an open spot that Lucas is occupying. He's been assigned No. 70. Bleier has made four appearances and posted a 14.54 ERA and 2.077 WHIP...

Chris Davis is back in the Orioles lineup today at first base for the final game of the homestand. Davis is tied with Tony Bernazard for longest streak of consecutive plate appearances without a hit, at 57. Cedric Mullins is leading off. Dwight Smith Jr. is in left field and Trey Mancini is in right. Mancini has hit six home runs in the first 12 games, equaling the club records held by Frank Robinson (1969) and Chris Davis (2013). For the Orioles Cedric Mullins CF Dwight Smith Jr. LF Jonathan...

Jake Noll hit his first home run in Triple-A yesterday in Salt Lake City. It was an opposite-field hit over the right field fence that helped guide Fresno to a 2-0 win. Alec Keller added the second run with a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the fifth. Keller is hitting .381 (8-for-21) in the season's first six games. Right-handed starter Kyle McGowin went 5 2/3 shutout innings, allowing only four hits and no walks, striking out six. The Grizzlies led 8-1 in the third inning of game two of the...

We could not have known he would even be on the Orioles' opening day roster when spring training began. He wasn't even in the organization yet. But Pedro Severino, the O's backup catcher, joined the club when he was claimed off waivers from the Nationals on March 23. He is still settling in with his new team. Severino is 3-for-14 (.214) in four games as an Oriole. Washington signed him out of the Dominican Republic in December 2010. He was ranked among the Nats' top 16 prospects by Baseball...

SOMEWHERE ALONG THE AMTRAK NORTHEAST CORRIDOR - There's nothing quite like covering a road trip via the train. It's the way they used to do it all the time a few generations ago, and we still get a few opportunities to do it in the 21st century, like when the Nationals play the Mets and Phillies in succession. What a road trip this turned out to be to cap off a wild two weeks to begin this season. The Nats have survived their 11-game gauntlet against two division rivals and emerged with a...

PHILADELPHIA - The Nationals left town one week ago having survived a ragged homestand against the Mets and Phillies, with a mess of a bullpen, a shortstop with a broken finger and a daunting road trip looming against those same two division rivals. The Nationals will return home tonight owners of a winning record, thanks to a potent lineup that scored 49 runs in six games, quality starting pitching, better bullpen work, and a renewed vibe that has allowed this club to relax and enjoy the ride...

Dylan Bundy is attempting today to lose a little of the consistency that he's brought into his first two starts. Bundy has lasted 3 2/3 innings and allowed three runs against the Yankees in the Bronx and in Baltimore. Perhaps a new opponent is needed, with the Orioles closing out their four-game series this afternoon against the Athletics before flying to Boston. The ERA is frozen at 7.36, with seven walks and nine strikeouts over his 7 1/3 innings. Asked about his side work this week, Bundy...
