SARASOTA, Fla. - The news that Mark Trumbo is headed to the disabled list with a Grade 2 strain of his right quadriceps muscle paints a different picture of the projected opening day roster.
Pedro Ãlvarez, signed last month as a "what-if" insurance policy, appears to have a better shot at breaking camp with the team, though manager Buck Showalter didn't run with the idea yesterday in Jupiter. It would have required a prolonged absence from Trumbo or first baseman Chris Davis, who's still...
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Earlier this spring, Davey Martinez explained that he never lets himself obsess over a day's game for more than 30 minutes upon its completion, win or lose. In this sport, there's no value in stressing out over what just happened, not when there's another game to prepare for in 24 hours.
So as he sat in his office this afternoon following an excruciating 12-3 exhibition loss to the Astros that featured just about every manner of sloppiness possible in one ballgame,...
JUPITER, Fla. - On a day when five Orioles pitchers combined for a 1-0 shutout of the St. Louis Cardinals, the news was not all good. After the game, we found out that Mark Trumbo will begin the year on the disabled list and that O's third base prospect Ryan Mountcastle will begin the year on the DL in the minors.
An MRI earlier today showed that Trumbo's troublesome right quad has a Grade 2 strain and he will miss the next few weeks.
"He'll be out a minimum of three to four weeks,"...
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Koda Glover hasn't thrown a baseball since reporting to camp with a sore shoulder. Joaquin Benoit, signed the first week of spring training, has a 9.00 ERA. Matt Albers is in Arizona wearing a Brewers uniform.
That might all be cause for concern for the Nationals, who don't have any real sure things in their bullpen beyond the three veterans acquired last July in trades. But general manager Mike Rizzo insists he's not looking for more upgrades from outside the...
JUPITER, Fla. - Like his good friend Manny Machado, Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop is swinging a hot bat in Florida.
It doesn't matter whether it's the West Coast or East Coast of the state. As the Orioles began a two-day East Coast swing today, Schoop homered again.
He led off the top of the second with his fifth spring homer as the Orioles took a 1-0 lead on the St. Louis Cardinals. Schoop homered to left off a 1-2 pitch from St. Louis right-hander Jack Flaherty. Flaherty is ranked...
The Orioles today announced plans for their fourth annual Kids' Opening Day presented by Weis Markets, which will be held Sunday, April 1, at Oriole Park at Camden Yards when the Orioles host the Minnesota Twins at 1:05 p.m. ET.

Kids' Opening Day will feature a kids-only Retro Oriole Bird Bank...
JUPITER, Fla. - Mark Trumbo was scheduled to be on this two-day trip with the Orioles to the East Coast of Florida. But he stayed back in Sarasota.
Trumbo went 0-for-3 as the designated hitter yesterday in his first game since March 6. He was out with a sore right quad muscle. After playing Wednesday, he felt more soreness and stiffness.
"He went and got an MRI this morning and we haven't gotten the results on that yet. That is why he's not here. That was a little discouraging," manager...
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Though they still won't rule out the possibility, the Nationals recognize Daniel Murphy's odds of being ready for opening day are getting slimmer by the day.
Murphy, who had microfracture surgery on his right knee in October, has been taking batting practice and fielding light grounders but has not been in any game-like situations yet. With the season opener in Cincinnati only 14 days away, time is running out for the veteran second baseman to get the preparation...
On Saturday, March 17, Orioles players and coaches will wear specially-designed green caps when the Orioles take on the Toronto Blue Jays at Ed Smith Stadium at 1:05 p.m. ET on St. Patrick's Day. Each base will also have special St. Patrick's Day jewels on them in celebration of the holiday. The three bases will be authenticated and auctioned, and the game-worn and team-issued caps will be autographed, authenticated, and auctioned online at www.orioles.com/spring to benefit Marie Selby...
