For his next stop in the Orioles farm system, right-hander Yovani Gallardo will head to Triple-A Norfolk to start in a rehab game Tuesday afternoon at 12:05 p.m. at Harbor Park.

After allowing some well-placed singles, and giving up seven hits and three runs yesterday, Gallardo was asked if his right shoulder feels fine...

If it makes them feel any better, the Orioles also have to hit indoors. The Orioles seem to be averaging a roster move per day to make up for lost time. They returned Mike Wright to the 25-man roster today while placing Darren O'Day on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right hamstring. Wright never...

Reliever Darren O'Day has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a right hamstring strain.

To replace O'Day on the 25-man roster, the Orioles recalled right-hander Mike Wright from Triple-A Norfolk....

Fair or foul? Chris Davis' awe-inspiring blast down the right-field line versus the Red Sox on Wednesday night was deemed to be foul and upheld on review. Orioles manager Buck Showalter, who said the team had a camera angle showing the ball was fair, wasn't buying it. Neither was David Price, who tweeted that the ball was "definitely fair." You know you've hit it well when opposing players are discussing your efforts. Price's full tweet deemed Davis' moon shot "the most majestic ball...
