Darren O'Day threw another bullpen session this morning and could come off the disable list as early as Friday afternoon in Boston. The Orioles passed along that the session "went well" and it will check how he responds on Thursday. O'Day is recovering from a hyperextended right elbow. He was eligible to return today. Miguel Castro and David Hess are candidates to start Sunday afternoon in Boston. Hess currently is scheduled to start Sunday for Triple-A Norfolk, so he'd be staying on...

For years, Orioles catcher Chance Sisco could read scouting reports and articles where prospects analysts questioned his defense. Not long after he was drafted you could find some evaluators that felt he'd never catch a day in the major leagues. Well, the American League leader in caught stealing percentage today is Sisco. He has the best mark in the league. AL leaders, caught stealing percentage: .471 - Chance Sisco, Orioles (8-of-17) .429 - Mike Zunino, Seattle (6-of-14) .400 - Jason Castro,...

The Orioles will roll out the same lineup today that was posted last night before rain forced a postponement. Mark Trumbo is batting fifth and playing right field. Chance Sisco is catching and batting seventh. Pedro Álvarez, recovered from hamstring discomfort, is the designated hitter and Jace Peterson is the third baseman. On this date in 1965, 19-year-old rookie Jim Palmer entered in relief and earned his first Major League win, defeating the Yankees 7-5 at Memorial Stadium. Palmer also...

Frank Quilici, a little-known second baseman, manager and broadcaster for the Twins, died Monday at 79. He hit .214 with five home runs in five seasons with the Twins, but he had a unique place in baseball history for two reasons. One, playing for the Twins in the 1965 World Series, an injury forced him into the starting lineup for all seven games against the Dodgers. In Game 1 in Minnesota's Metropolitan Stadium, he had two hits in one inning against the Dodgers' Don Drysdale, a future Hall...

He's our favorite player, he's Trea Turner's favorite player: it's Tony Two Bags himself, Anthony Rendon. We all missed him when he was out unexpectedly long after fouling a ball off his foot, and the offense suffered in his absence. But now that he's back, he's thriving, the team is thriving, we're all thriving. Since Rendon's return on May 5, the Nationals have gone 7-2, and they've scored 32 runs through those nine games, which averages to about 3.5 per game. But with the way the...

After a long wait to get to an eventual rainout last night, perhaps the raindrops will slow enough to allow the Orioles and Philadelphia Phillies to play this afternoon, in a game now scheduled to begin at 12:05 p.m. With the Orioles having hit .312 as a team on this homestand, their team average is up to a season-high .236. During a 5-2 stand, the Orioles have hit 19 homers, 13 doubles and scored 58 runs. They beat Tampa Bay 17-1 on Sunday. Some Orioles individual hitting notes: * Jonathan...

Miguel Castro would have needed to be a mudder to make today's start for the Orioles. Down the stretch they slosh ... The Orioles' refusal to pitch David Hess on short rest again created an opportunity for Castro to pop into the rotation. But the weather intervened, Andrew Cashner was pushed back to early this afternoon and Castro was shoved back into the bullpen. We'll never know how he would have handled the weather and the Phillies, at least in a starting role. He's the long man if...
