This afternoon, the Orioles made the following roster moves: Recalled OF Ryan McKenna from Triple-A Norfolk.Optioned RHP Denyi Reyes to Triple-A Norfolk after yesterday’s game.

There are any number of ways to articulate how well Josh Bell has hit for the Nationals so far this season. The .342 batting average is an obvious one, as is the .434 on-base percentage. Each ranks third among all qualifying National League hitters. There’s another, less obvious way to underscore Bell’s success to date: His lack of strikeouts. Cons

While the Orioles opened a three-game series last night in Detroit on the backend of their two-city road trip, I returned home from St. Louis, checked the top of my head, ignored the gel and jotted down a few observations. Jorge López is the closer, but Félix Bautista is the trusted backup López rejoined the team yesterday in Detroit after three da

His name may not dot many of those top prospects lists just yet, but as of last Sunday right-hander Garrett Stallings has his name in the record book for the Double-A Bowie Baysox.

After a bullpen game on Thursday, pitching was not the issue in Friday night's 4-2 loss to the Tigers.  Brandon Hyde needed starting pitcher Jordan Lyles to eat some innings tonight against the Tigers. In Thursday’s series-deciding victory over the Cardinals, Hyde turned to six relievers to get the job done; Bryan Baker, Keegan Akin, Dillon Tate, C

Now their six-game, two-city road trip has moved on to Detroit for tonight’s series opener. The Orioles and Tigers play the next three days. The Birds 

The first thing Dusty Baker noticed was the neighborhood. Navy Yard now looks a whole lot different from the last time he came here, in October 2017. “Man, I sure wish I was invested in a couple buildings. Or in some big cranes,” he said with a laugh. “I’m telling you, this has really, really picked up. I stopped by on the way here today to see a f

After a canceled 2020 minor league season, surely 2021 would be the year that Rylan Bannon made his major league debut.  In 2019, Bannon flashed every tool the Orioles had hoped to see when they acquired the infielder from the Dodgers in 2018. At just 23, Bannon thrived in 20 games at Triple-A Norfolk. The Xavier product flaunted a .317/.344/.549 s

The Orioles are down another position player with Ryan Mountcastle going on the 10-day injured list this afternoon with a left wrist/forearm strain. The move is retroactive to Wednesday. Reliever Jorge López has been reinstated from the bereavement list after missing the three-game series in St. Louis, giving the club a much-needed fresh arm. Mount
