Don’t be fooled by the smile. Logan Gillaspie knows when it’s appropriate to be a nice guy. Like, for instance, when teammates, club employees and reporters walk over to his locker. When he’s around his family or is approached by a fan. Pretty much anytime except when he’s pitching. The Orioles recalled Gillaspie from Triple-A Norfolk Monday mornin

MIAMI – The Nationals have found enough offense to play .500 ball since the first week of the season. Without a lack of a true power source, it was a serious question of how they would generate runs this season. Since that 1-6 start, they have found that their style of baseball is good enough to win games and score runs in a variety of ways, even w

The swing and the sound provided everything that Dean Kremer needed to know about Mickey Moniak’s at-bat leading off the top of the first inning. Kremer stood motionless with his arm extended, eyes fixed on home plate, and waited for a new baseball. The one Moniak hit landed 408 feet away in the right-center field bleachers. The inning must have fe

Last night, the Los Angeles Angels joined the Tampa Bay Rays as the second team this year to win a series-opening game against the Orioles. The Birds are now 12-2 in such games. The Angels 9-5 win was led by Shohei Ohtani, who gave up three home runs on the mound but hit a three-run homer at bat as part of a 4-for-5 game where he came up a double s

MIAMI – The Nationals are getting closer to activating Chad Kuhl off the 15–day injured list while he continues his recovery from right foot metatarsalgia. Though they still have time to decide, the question is now becoming: How will they adjust the pitching staff when he’s finally ready to return? Kuhl is eligible to come off the IL now, having be

After starting the year with the Orioles and giving up 15 runs and 17 hits over 12 2/3 innings his first three starts, lefty Cole Irvin, 29, found himself back in Triple-A. This was the first time he made more than one start in the minors since 2019. With an 0-2 record, 10.66 ERA and 1.97 WHIP, the club decided that he needed a reboot. And he got i

Cole Irvin is in Baltimore to serve as a long reliever. Nothing else to it. The Orioles don’t have immediate plans to reinsert Irvin into the rotation, but manager Brandon Hyde said, “He’s going to start for us down the road at some point for sure, I just don’t know when that’s going to be.” “We see him as a starter,” Hyde added, “but right now we

MIAMI – Hello from loanDepot Park, where they make sure to stylize that with a lowercase L. I don’t understand why because even now in its third season since the name change from Marlins Park, I still read it as if it’s a capital I. But I digress … Josiah Gray will get the ball to start this quick three-game road trip in South Beach. He’s been fant

Anthony Santander gets his second consecutive start at first base tonight against the Angels at Camden Yards. Santander hadn't played the position in the majors until last night, his experience confined to nine games in A-ball in 2016. He handled every chance flawlessly against the Angels. Terrin Vavra stays in right field. Ryan O’Hearn bats ninth

The Orioles have made the following roster moves: Recalled LHP Cole Irvin from Triple-A Norfolk.Optioned RHP Logan Gillaspie to Triple-A Norfolk after yesterday’s game.
