Orioles’ O’Neill going for MRI on right shoulder; Helsley, Holliday return to St. Louis; O’s-Cardinals lineups

ST. LOUIS—Orioles outfielder Tyler O’Neill is out of the lineup for the second straight day because of right shoulder soreness. He injured the shoulder making a diving catch on Richie Palacios’ sinking line drive to end the ninth inning on Saturday night. “We were hoping that he’d be fine for today,” manager Craig Albernaz said. […]

Orioles-Cardinals series preview: One more pivotal road trip

As we head into the last week of August, the Orioles remain what they’ve been all year, a maddeningly inconsistent outfit whose offense is capable of simply switching off at inconvenient times, and whose defense is prone to make stupid errors just when the game is on the line. And yet, they’re still not out […]

Three players that need to step up for the Orioles offense

With 31 games left to go in the season, the Orioles are in a weird spot. After the Guardians win last night, Baltimore finds itself 2.5 games back of the final AL Wild Card spot with just over a month of baseball left to play. It’s far from an insurmountable deficit; the O’s have nine […]

Orioles news: Kicking off a nine-game road trip

Happy Tuesday, Camden Chatters! After an off-day yesterday, the Orioles will be back in action tonight. They kick off a nine-game, three-city road trip against three teams a playoff team should be able to beat: the St. Louis Cardinals, Sacramento Athletics, and Colorado Rockies. The Cardinals have a .500 record, while the A’s and Rockies […]

Orioles Pitcher With 3.93 ERA Elects Free Agency

Albert Suarez and the Baltimore Orioles are running through the same unusual routine again. The right-hander cleared outright waivers and elected free agency rather than accept an assignment to Triple-A Norfolk, the Orioles announced.  It's the second time this year Suarez has gone through this exact sequence, and the fourth time he's been designated for assignment by Baltimore in 2026 alone. A Season Built Entirely On This Cycle The pattern has repeated itself with almost comic regul...

Would the Orioles currently have a wild-card spot if they hadn’t traded Rutschman? | MAILBAG

Question: If the Orioles hadn’t traded Taylor Ward, Adley Rutschman and Tyler Wells, they would be sitting comfortably in the third wild-card spot. Instead, we have Christian Franklin, Carlos Narváez, and Alex Hoppe. What’s your opinion? From: Marc Goodman  Answer: Marc, the Orioles are 9-10 since the trade deadline. I predicted the Orioles wouldn’t trade […]

Series Preview: St. Louis Cardinals Host the Baltimore Orioles

The St. Louis Cardinals will be able to enjoy a brief stint of home cooking as they’ll kick off a 2-series homestand Tuesday night as the Baltimore Orioles arrive in town. Both teams are in a similar situation with both still in the running for a Wild Card spot. The Cardinals, however, are reeling after […]

Ask Pinstripe Alley: Yankees mailbag questions request

The Yankees are hitting their stride at a crucial point of the season, cutting the deficit in the AL East race to just three games after sweeping Baltimore and taking two of three from Toronto. The offense that was so stagnant for much of the summer has been rejuvenated of late, thanks to a combo […]

Albert Suárez Elects Free Agency

The Orioles announced that right-hander Albert Suárez elected free agency in lieu of accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk. That indicates he cleared waivers after being designated for assignment last week and has now exercised his right to head to the open market. Though Suárez is now a free agent, it wouldn’t be a […]

Rays Fall to Orioles in AL East Weekend Series

There must be something in the water when the Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles face off that always seems to end with an Orioles victory. For the fourth straight season, Baltimore clinched the season series against Tampa Bay. They got off to a great start on Friday, using a three-run fifth inning and a […] The post Rays Fall to Orioles in AL East Weekend Series appeared first on Just Baseball .

Orioles upcoming schedule is a chance to go on a season-changing run

All season long, the Orioles have tread water. Their win-loss record has never gotten better than two games above .500 (on April 13) or worse than nine games under .500 (July 8). That type of mediocre form has been enough to keep them in the conversation for a playoff spot, but with just a month […]

Orioles news: O’s offense fails Baz again

Good morning, Camden Chatters. Stop me if you’ve heard this before: the Orioles lost because they couldn’t score any runs for Shane Baz. It’s becoming a running joke, although not a very funny one. When Baz is on the mound, absolutely everything seems to go wrong for the Orioles, and through very little fault of […]

Will Trey Mancini retire as an Oriole? | MAILBAG

Question: Thank you for the poignant tribute to Trey Mancini. I had forgotten what a standup guy he is. Wish we could always have a few players and classy guys like him active on the team. Speaking of that, how might we convince Orioles management to sign him to a one-day contract so he could […]

Felix Bautista Begins Minor League Rehab Assignment

Felix Bautista threw 22 pitches today with Double-A Chesapeake, allowing a hit and three walks while retiring just one of five batters faced in the first game of his minor league rehab assignment.  Michael Howes of the Baltimore Sun was among those to report that the right-hander averaged 95.1mph on his fastball, hitting 97mph with […]

Orioles get just 2 hits in Baz’s start in 3-1 loss to Rays

BALTIMORE—The Orioles survived a difficult 10-game stretch against the Tampa Bay Rays and New York Yankees, splitting those 10 games. All five of the wins were against Tampa Bay, but on Sunday, the Orioles were unable, again, to help starting pitcher Shane Baz, managing just two hits in a 3-1 loss to the Rays before […]

Orioles offense fails to deliver in 3-1 loss to Rays

The Orioles sent the tying run to the plate three times in the 9th, but couldn’t come up with the clutch hit, losing the series finale 3-1 to the Rays. After managing only one base runner through the first eight innings, Colton Cowser stepped up to the plate in the 9th looking to ignite a […]

Sunday afternoon Orioles game thread: vs. Rays, 1:35pm ET

Probable pitchers: RHP Shane Baz (4-13, 4.02 ERA, 132 Ks) vs. RHP Nick Martinez (12-4, 3.05 ERA, 83 Ks) Where to watch: MASN/MASN+ If the Orioles could play an entire season just against the Rays, they’d probably be the best team in baseball. After last night’s extra-inning win, the Orioles improved to 8-4 on the […]
