SARASOTA, Fla. – Orioles reliever Mychal Givens is throwing on flat ground today to test his left knee. His status for Opening Day won’t be resolved this quickly. “Unsure at this point,” manager Brandon Hyde said this afternoon. The bullpen already had a few pockets of uncertainty and Givens is the latest complication. He was a lock until the disco

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – We’ve got a “Nexus of the Universe” moment coming up tonight when the Nationals and Astros take the field at The Ballpark of the Palm Beaches. On the mound for Houston will be Luis Garcia. At the plate for the Nats will be Luis García. Prepare for your minds to be blown. It is kind of interesting that García leading off. We’

SARASOTA, Fla. – Cedric Mullins has returned from the World Baseball Classic and is in center field tonight as the Orioles play the first of three consecutive night games. Grayson Rodriguez makes his fifth start of the spring. Adley Rutschman is catching him. The lineup could be repeated often in the regular season. Ryan Mountcastle is at first bas

The Orioles today announced plans for a series of “Countdown to Opening Day” events leading up to the start of the 2023 regular season. Beginning Wednesday, March 29, and continuing through the Home Opener, fans will have the opportunity to meet the Oriole Bird and some of their favorite Orioles Alumni – as well as the chance to win tickets and oth

Just like another O’s minor league hurler, righty Ryan Long, right-hander Daniel Federman hoped he could make it onto a roster for the World Baseball Classic. And like Long, Federman had never even pitched as high as Double-A ball and not only did he make it, he has a 0.00 ERA to show for his one inning on the mound. On March 13 in Miami, Federman

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Opening Day is one week away. At this point, we should have a pretty clear idea who’s making the roster, who’s filling what slot in the starting rotation and how the back end of the bullpen is set up. We should also have a pretty clear idea what the Opening Day lineup is going to look like. Except, when it comes to the Natio

SARASOTA, Fla. – The little bit of roster uncertainty clinging to the Orioles can’t touch Adam Frazier. Frazier could get the bulk of the work at second base this season, with chances to move to the corner outfield. The infield’s versatility makes it difficult to declare absolute starters at each position. How Frazier hit in camp didn’t matter exce

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – MacKenzie Gore faced 21 batters today, against a Yankees lineup that included a number of regulars including Gleyber Torres, Anthony Rizzo and Giancarlo Stanton. He threw a first-pitch strike to 17 of them, including 12 of the first 13 who stepped to the plate at The Ballpark of the Palm Beaches. “That’s beautiful,” the Nati

The Orioles have made the following roster moves: Reassigned OF Colton Cowser and OF Heston Kjerstad to minor league camp. The Orioles’ Spring Training roster currently has 44 players (34+10 NRI).

DUNEDIN, Fla. – Dean Kremer is ready for Opening Day. Not to take the ball for the first game in Boston. He doesn’t expect that to happen. But to break camp and pitch in games that truly matter. Kremer worked a spring-high five innings this afternoon against the Blue Jays and did more throwing in the bullpen after reaching 67 pitches. Two of the th
