CHICAGO – Where starts used to get away from Dean Kremer, they now remain under his control. It’s such a startling change, the aggression, command and confidence thrusting him back into discussions about the future of the Orioles rotation. Kremer followed his six scoreless innings in his last start with 5 2/3 tonight, Adley Rutschman hit his second

The Orioles' latest road trip begins this evening and it’s a long trek. They will play 10 games over the next 11 days in Chicago, Seattle and Minnesota, beginning tonight at the White Sox. The Orioles (31-39) just completed a 3-2 homestand, where they won two of three versus the Rays and went 1-1 against the Nationals. The Orioles have been playing

CHICAGO – Rougned Odor is out of tonight’s lineup with some stiffness in his back. He could be available off the bench. Odor pinch-hit for Richie Martin last night and struck out. He felt the discomfort on one swing and dropped to his knee. Martin is starting tonight at second base. Odor normally would be playing against White Sox right-hander John

CHICAGO – Richie Martin is starting at second base and Rougned Odor is on the bench for tonight’s series opener against the White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field. Odor usually starts against right-handers, and the White Sox are sending Johnny Cueto to the mound. Tyler Nevin is starting at third base. Anthony Santander is in left field and Austin Hays

CHICAGO – The infield depth at the higher levels of the minor league system cost Patrick Dorrian a place in the Orioles organization. Dorrian, on Triple-A Norfolk’s roster, was traded to the Brewers this afternoon for cash considerations. The Orioles acquired Dorrian from the Pirates on June 26, 2019 to complete the May 27 trade of pitcher Yefry Ra

A Nationals club that was exhausted from a brutal stretch of 14 games in 13 days not long ago is now about to enjoy its second day off this week. Some schedule, huh? Nevertheless, nobody's complaining about this quirk, because they desperately needed it. After completing a two-game series in Baltimore, the Nats took a late-night flight to Texas and

Having two shortstop prospects on the same roster and in the same lineup requires one consistent plan on how to handle their development. Manager Kyle Moore experienced it with Double-A Bowie. Buck Britton is doing the same at Triple-A Norfolk. Britton doesn’t have Joey Ortiz and Adam Hall to consider, but there’s still a pleasant excess. Gunnar He

He is one of baseball’s best pitching prospects, lefty DL Hall of the Triple-A Norfolk Tides, the Orioles top draft pick from 2017. They selected the lefty from a Georgia high school No. 21 overall and now he is on the doorstep of the majors. But when he'll take that next big step is the question now for the Orioles as Hall closes in. Perhaps his l

BALTIMORE – The Nationals and Orioles knew it was going to start raining at some point tonight, it was just a matter of when. And once it began, whether it would stop for any reasonable length of time. So that turned tonight’s game into something of a three-way battle between Patrick Corbin, Tyler Wells and Mother Nature. And in the end, Mother Nat

Rain began falling again tonight in the bottom of the sixth inning, threatening to form more puddles on the track and bring a second delay. Conditions that normally aren’t ideal for cycling. But in the baseball sense, they worked just fine for Orioles outfielder Austin Hays. Hays lined a double into left-center field off Nationals reliever Steve Ci
