The Orioles have made the following roster moves: Reinstated LHP Keegan Akin from the Paternity List.Optioned LHP Nick Vespi to Triple-A Norfolk.

Juan Yepez joined the Nationals on July 5, taking over the first base job for the struggling, demoted Joey Meneses, and proceeded to hold that job every day. For more than a month. It wasn’t until Aug. 13 that someone else started at first base, in this case rookie Andres Chaparro. Even then, Yepez remained in the lineup, serving as the Nats’ desig

The Orioles just can’t seem to get rolling again. On a night where their bullpen allowed no runs or hits, they still lost 6-0 in the Houston series opener. Their offense has produced six hits the last two games. Right now, they look like a second-division club with a lack of runs, hits and unfortunately fire and passion too. Maybe the next win and

Orioles' manager Brandon Hyde wasn’t ready to commit to a six-man rotation when asked about it earlier this week. Too many balls in the air to grab hold of an exact plan. Actions could be pointing the team in that direction. By keeping Cole Irvin and also needing a starter for Sunday night against the Astros, the Orioles could commit to the six-man

Corbin Burnes shortened his hair and lengthened his start, but what happened tonight wasn’t pretty. Burnes allowed four runs in the sixth inning and the offense ran cold again in the Orioles’ 6-0 loss to the Astros before an announced crowd of 22,212 at Camden Yards. The Yankees lead the division by 1 ½ games, the Orioles’ largest deficit since bei

Now an O's team that has fallen to second-place, one that lost twice via walk-off results at Citi Field, one that has lost four of six and six of 10 and that is 29-32 since June 13, goes into a demanding stretch of games. The Orioles host first-place Houston for four at Camden Yards beginning tonight. Then the Birds fly across the country and play

The lack of fresh relievers impacted starter Trevor Rogers. The Orioles optioned Rogers early this afternoon within a bevy of roster moves that included calling up left-hander Nick Vespi and selecting right-hander Matt Bowman’s contract from Triple-A Norfolk. Rogers’ next turn in the rotation was Sunday but the spot became listed as TBA. “Just kind

Right-handed reliever Matt Bowman, if he gets into a game with the Orioles, would be pitching for his fourth MLB team this season. He got into five games in April with Minnesota, four with Arizona in May and one with Seattle in June. He has actually already pitched this year at Oriole Park, throwing two scoreless on May 12 for the Diamondbacks. Now

Cedric Mullins is in center field tonight after being absent from the lineups in Queens. Colton Cowser is playing left field and Ryan O’Hearn is in right. Anthony Santander is the designated hitter. Adley Rutschman is batting fifth. Jackson Holliday is seventh. Gunnar Henderson is slugging .717 in 28 games against the American League West this seas

Not that expectations were high for Patrick Corbin when this season began, but even the least optimistic observer out there had to assume the left-hander would reach his 100th career win along the way, and probably not that far along the way. Corbin needed only three victories to get there. And even if the Nationals’ intention was to move the long-
