Dylan Bundy threw a light bullpen session and remains scheduled to start Sunday afternoon's series finale against the Rays.
Bundy will be working on three days' rest after throwing 30 pitches in Wednesday's rain-shortened start against the Red Sox. The three home runs he surrendered were washed away.
In his last three starts that count, Bundy has allowed 15 earned runs (16 total) and 19 hits in 12 1/3 innings.
Yefry RamÃrez is available out of the bullpen tonight in an emergency, but...
After putting up 15 runs and 15 hits in Friday's victory, the Orioles host the Tampa Bay Rays tonight in the third game of this four-game series. The Rays won 4-3 in Thursday's series opener, and the Orioles won 15-5 last night.
Since the All-Star break, the Orioles have scored seven or more runs three times in seven games with a team average of .279, 12 homers and 40 runs. In the last three games, the Orioles are 12-for-26 (.462) with runners in scoring position, leading to 25 runs.

MIAMI - Three wins in a row is nice. Four in a row would be nicer for a Nationals club that flat-out owns the Marlins right now. The Nats are 8-1 against them this season, 16-1 over the last calendar year. And they've still got 10 more games to play vs. Miami in 2018.
Gio Gonzalez has been a part of that ownage. The Miami native went 4-0 with a 1.59 ERA against the Marlins last season and allowed two runs in five innings in his lone appearance against them so far this year. It's been said...
Danny Valencia gets the start at third base today and Joey Rickard is in right field while the Orioles continue their series against the Rays at Camden Yards.
Nothing of real interest pertaining to the lineup. Adam Jones is the center fielder, so he hasn't been traded. Jonathan Schoop is the second baseman, so he hasn't been traded.
Kevin Gausman has allowed nine runs and 17 hits over 10 innings in his two starts against the Rays this season.
C.J. Cron is 5-for-15 with a double and home run...
Cuban outfielder Yusniel DÃaz was the key player among the five the Orioles acquired from the Dodgers for Manny Machado. Pitcher Dillion Tate is the headliner in the three acquired this week from the New York Yankees for pitcher Zach Britton.
Tate was traded to the Orioles along with pitchers Cody Carroll and Josh Rogers who are both now with Triple-A Norfolk. Rogers is expected to make his Tides debut on the mound tonight. Carroll got the win and threw a scoreless inning Thursday for...
MIAMI - Anyone who watched Daniel Murphy in his first week back from major knee surgery could tell the veteran second baseman wasn't himself at the plate. One of baseball's best pure hitters the last two-plus seasons, Murphy opened his 2018 campaign 3-for-29 with five strikeouts for the Nationals.
Anyone who watched Murphy in his second and third weeks back from major knee surgery could tell he was better, but still not himself at the plate. Though he was starting to make better contact and...
Brad Brach glanced to his right and saw the empty locker that belonged to closer Zach Britton. He looked to his left and saw the empty locker that still belonged to set-up man Darren O'Day, who hadn't been using it much since undergoing season-ending surgery on his hamstring.
Brach feels a tad lonely and like the last man standing, but also one who could be on the move by next week.
As I noted yesterday, the Cubs, Rockies and Indians continue to show interest in Brach, according to a source....
Jonathan Schoop is trying to carry the torch, as instructed by friend and former teammate Manny Machado.
Schoop also is attempting to carry a team.
A fifth home run in five games kept Schoop on a serious July roll and he delivered two RBI singles in the seventh inning while the Orioles broke open a close game and claimed a 15-5 victory over the Rays before an announced crowd of 15,649 at Camden Yards.
Andrew Cashner was credited with his first win since May 21 and his first at home this season,...
Jonathan Schoop hit another homer tonight, tying a major league record for second basemen, as the Orioles routed Tampa Bay 15-5 at Oriole Park. The four-game series is tied at a win each.
Schoop connected on a solo shot for No. 16 in the fifth to give the Orioles a 4-1 lead. Schoop homered for the fifth game in a row, which tied the major league record for a second baseman. It was done for the eighth time tonight and the most recent before Schoop was Minnesota's Brian Dozier, who homered in...
