Latest news and updates about the Orioles
The Orioles on Thursday placed Blaze Alexander on the 10-day injured list with a broken left hand. Alexander, who’s played six positions so far this season, was hit by a pitch in the seventh inning of Sunday’s game against Kansas City by Lucas Ercag. The move is retroactive to Monday. Alexander is hitting .312 with […]
The Orioles released their 2027 schedule on Thursday, and they’ll open at Tropicana Field against the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday March 25th. In an oddity, they’ll have March 28th, Easter Sunday, off and will open their home season on March 29th against the Toronto Blue Jays. The home interleague opponents are Miami (April 23rd-25th), […]
The Orioles completed their 2026 draft class across 20 rounds on July 11 and 12. This year’s class has 20 players in it, one for each round. The next step is to get players signed and into the organization. In most cases, that’s going to be settled before the trade deadline. The signing deadline this […]
Hello, friends. The All-Star break continues. There’s still not going to be any more Orioles baseball until tomorrow when they start the non-mathematical second half of the season in Houston. We can hope the break is a good mental reset for those players who need one and a good physical reset for those who need […]
Adley Rutschman was once considered untouchable in Baltimore, but a rough stretch of team results and a franchise-altering contract extension have put the two-time All-Star catcher squarely in trade speculation. The Orioles signed 21-year-old catching prospect Samuel Basallo to an eight-year, $67 million extension, and with both players primarily catchers, the roster math has become complicated. Rutschman, who becomes a free agent after the 2027 season, is bouncing back this year with a .258...
Even though the Orioles enter the All-Star break with their only four-game winning streak of the season, and they’re close enough to dream about a wild-card berth, there’s still discontent among their fan base. President of baseball operations Mike Elias is the target of much of the fans’ ire. They’d like him gone, and while […]
Question: Do you think it likely that Aron Estrada will be promoted to take Blaze Alexander’s roster spot while he’s on the injured list? Estrada, a switch-hitter, is having a fine season at Double-AA Chesapeake and will need to be added to the 40-man roster after the season to be protected from the Rule 5 […]
To say that the Baltimore Orioles have struggled this year would be an understatement. The organization had its most productive […]
The Orioles announced that left-hander Keegan Akin has undergone Tommy John surgery. He will miss the remainder of this year and possibly all of 2027 as well. He’s already on the 60-day injured list and will stay there for the rest of the season. Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com was among those to pass the news […]
Orioles reliever Keegan Akin had Tommy John surgery on his left elbow on Wednesday. The surgery was performed by Dr. Keith Meister in Arlington, Texas. The Orioles say the surgery was successful. The 31-year-old left-hander, who is on the 60-day injured list, last pitched on June 27th, throwing two scoreless innings, allowing one hit against […]

Where do the O's rank in 100-pitch games?
Good morning Birdland, From an Orioles fan perspective, this All-Star Game reminded me of my childhood fandom. You see, during my formative years, the Orioles really stunk. But I liked baseball anyway. So I was used to watching the Midsummer Classic in anticipation of the few minor glimpses I might get of Miguel Tejada, Brian […]
I’m probably fooling myself to think that Mike Elias could give a hoot about my opinion or, for that matter, even knows that I still show up at the ballpark once in a while to see if the lights are still on. But I’m going to deliver a piece of advice, and I only need […]
A new Bird Tapes content stream explores what else is in my office closet besides recordings of old interviews. First up: the iconic tabletop baseball simulation game that loomed large in my youth. The Bird Tapes sprang into existence out of a cluttered closet in my home office, where the history of the Baltimore Orioles […]
The Orioles only got to send one representative to the All-Star game this season, but Adley Rutschman earned the opportunity. Rutschman made his third All Star appearance after slashing .253/.327/.436 in the first half. Rutschman’s strong start to the season represented a bounceback for the former first overall pick. The Oregon State product posted a […]
The regrettably Oriole-light 2026 edition of MLB’s All-Star Game gets under way at 8pm tonight, or however long after 8pm that it takes to do all of the pre-game activities – player introductions and all of that – that MLB doesn’t schedule before 8pm. You can watch the game on Fox and that’s it. Adley […]
The Baltimore Orioles need to reset, and All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman should hold major appeal to Wild Card contenders like the Pittsburgh Pirates, Texas Rangers and Houston Astros.

The week before the All-Star break was almost like a 2026 season in miniature for the Orioles. They began the week with a losing streak that sent them to a new low point for the season, and broke out of that losing streak by setting a season-high winning streak. They finally won a fourth straight […]
As the Orioles head into the second half of the season and toward the August 3rd trade deadline, they have decisions to make on two prime trade candidates. Given the O’s perpetual need for starting pitching, LHP Trevor Rogers seems like an ideal extension candidate and should not be traded. Outfielder Taylor Ward represents a […]
This week marks the All-Star break for more than just the major league teams. The minor league affiliates are off for the next few days as well, never mind that the leagues themselves don’t put on All-Star Games any more, like they used to. For a variety of reasons, there probably wouldn’t be all that […]
Who excelled for the O's in the 2026 season's first half?
Good morning, Camden Chatters. How are you spending your four days off from Orioles baseball (assuming you hadn’t already bailed on Orioles baseball by, like, May)? Me, I’m going to take care of important things around the house, by which I mean catching up on TV. I’m still working my way through the Fallout season […]
