For a pitcher that once was trying to make it to the majors while starting out in independent league baseball, making an Opening Day roster was special. And there was O's bullpen right-hander Logan Gillaspie, 25, running down the orange carpet with the rest of the Orioles on Friday afternoon. He made his MLB debut last May 17 with two scoreless inn

Anthony Santander could see the potential in his new teammate. The rough edges would get the Rule 5 selection cut from the roster. However, Santander knew that the kid would be fine, however long it took for him to make it. Nestor Cortes was a popular pick within the Orioles organization in the 2017 Rule 5, until he wasn’t. Some people who backed a

DENVER – Stone Garrett didn’t make the Nationals’ Opening Day roster, not so much because of his performance this spring but because Alex Call outplayed him to earn the fourth outfielder’s job. Garrett didn’t get a chance to play his first several days after getting called up from Triple-A Rochester to start the week, not so much because of his cha

Cole Irvin wound up on the seat of his pants and with a big smile on his face. The mood was light early in tonight’s start. But would Irvin be able to handle a heavy workload and rest the bullpen? Irvin was on the back end, as it were, of a 3-6-1 double play to conclude the top of the first inning. Aaron Judge walked with one out to extend his care

APRIL 8 vs. NYY PREGAME CEREMONY: Ramón Urías 2022 Gold Glove Award  URÍAS will be presented with his Gold Glove Award by Manger Brandon Hyde and a Rawlings Representative prior to the game. Urías was named the recipient of the 2022 Gold Glove Award at third base, the first of his career. He became the first Oriole to win a Gold Glove since Manny M

DENVER – Luis García is out of the lineup for tonight’s game against the Rockies, but the Nationals continue to believe his right hamstring is only tight and not cause for any significant concern. García pulled up and grabbed his right leg as he was running out a grounder in the sixth inning of Friday night’s 10-5 win at Coors Field. After a brief

The Orioles, now 2-0 on Opening Days in the 2023 season and 3-0 in series-opening games, will host the New York Yankees tonight. It’s the first night game of the year in Baltimore and the second game of a three-game series. The Orioles improved to 46-24 all-time in home openers and 22-10 in Oriole Park openers with Friday’s 7-6 win in front of a se

DENVER – After watching his team break through for 10 runs and 19 hits during Friday night’s win, Davey Martinez joked he might have to rethink his plans for today’s lineup. He already had intended to go with a right-handed-heavy lineup against Rockies lefty Austin Gomber. Now he wondered if he should just stick with what worked. The answer: He sta

Oftentimes judging a reliever’s performance off his ERA, especially in a small sample, is not a solid path to take in evaluating that pitcher. Take O’s right-hander Bryan Baker. His ERA is 5.79 in four games to start the new season. But his batting average against is .200 and opponent batters have an OPS of just .544 versus Baker.  On Opening Day i

Orioles catcher James McCann is nearing a return to the active roster. Perhaps as early as Sunday. McCann began his injury rehab assignment last night at High-A Aberdeen and singled twice as the designated hitter. He’s going to catch tonight and the Orioles want him to work around seven innings before determining his status. “Kind of take it day-to
