Wednesday night Orioles game thread: vs. Yankees, 6:35pm ET

Probable pitchers: RHP Chris Bassitt (4-4, 5.11 ERA, 40 Ks) vs. RHP Will Warren (8-6, 4.42 ERA, 117 Ks) It’s been a small emotional rollercoaster for Orioles fans the last week. The high of winning the first three games in Tampa over the weekend was met with the lows of 1) losing a very winnable […]

Orioles activate Basallo from injured list, option Jackson; Alexander nearing return; O’s-Yankees lineups

BALTIMORE—The Orioles activated Samuel Basallo from the 10-day injured list for Wednesday night’s game against the New York Yankees. Basallo, who will be one of three Oriole catchers, will play first base and hit fourth. Basallo had been on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation since July 20th and had two rehab games, on […]

Orioles remaining schedule provides opportunity to “earn it”

It has become clear over the last few months that a flawed team will make the playoffs out of the American League. The Orioles, along with several other teams, have found a way to remain in contention for the third and final wild card spot despite sitting on the wrong side of .500. Reason would […]

Fan-Favorite Slugger Announces Retirement After Emotional Comeback

Trey Mancini is walking away from baseball, closing out an eight-year career. The 34-year-old announced his retirement Tuesday in an Instagram post.  "Thank you, baseball," Mancini wrote, singling out the Baltimore fan base that embraced him for the bulk of his career. "To every fan, especially those in Birdland, your support over the years has meant the world to me. There is nothing more special in sports than a connection between a team and their fans, and I was lucky enough to feel tha...

Lost Voices: Marty Springstead on Earl Weaver

The longtime American League umpire had me laughing when I asked him about arguing with Earl Weaver during a 1999 interview for my book on Orioles history. (One in a series of articles highlighting former baseball figures whom I interviewed for my oral history of the Orioles more than a quarter-century ago, but only on […]

Orioles waste Baz gem, fall to Yankees, 3-1

It was a good-looking Shane Baz that greeted New York tonight. Not only did the O’s starter make a big first impression, striking out three Yankees in the first inning (and on three different pitches!—curveball, heater, changeup), he also pinched into the seventh and struck out a season-high ten batters. Alas, as my colleague Paul […]

Trent Grisham provides all the offense in Yankees’ win over Orioles

We’ve seen this game a lot lately. The starting pitcher has himself a good day, the bullpen has arguably a better day, and the lineup just manages to scratch across enough runs for the club to win. Tonight it wasn’t even “the lineup” so much as it was “just Trent Grisham”, but every win counts […]

Tuesday night Orioles game thread: vs. Yankees, 6:35 ET

So that was cool! The Orioles emerged from a grueling 10-game road trip with something like momentum, taking three of four from the AL-best Tampa Bay Rays on the road. The starting pitching was solid, the hitters clutch, and the defense frequently stepped up. Now, they welcome the second-place Yankees to Camden Yards. The Yankees […]

New York Yankees @ Baltimore Orioles: Carlos Rodón vs. Shane Baz

After a great start from a lefty in Sunday’s win, the Yankees will turn to another southpaw as they kick off a road trip with three games at Camden Yards. The Orioles may be three games under .500, but they’re sniffing around the final AL Wild Card slot, and Carlos Rodón will have to handle […]

Orioles might get Basallo back during homestand; Alexander, Bautista making progress; O’s-Yankees lineups

BALTIMORE—Catcher Samuel Basallo, who’s on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation, will play his second rehab game for Double-A Chesapeake on Tuesday night. Basallo was 1-for-4 with three RBIs for Triple-A Norfolk in his first rehab game on Sunday. Manager Craig Albernaz thinks there’s a good chance Basallo will return during this homestand. […]

Trey Mancini Announces Retirement

Veteran first baseman Trey Mancini tells Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com that he’s decided to retire after playing in parts of eight major league seasons with the Orioles, Cubs, Astros and Angels. The 34-year-old appeared in five games with the Halos earlier this year, completing his goal of making it back for one last appearance in […]

Orioles-Yankees series preview: The O’s face another AL East heavyweight

After a grueling 11-day, 10-game road trip, the Orioles finally return to Camden Yards for the first time since Aug. 6. And this time, they’re coming in with some swagger. The Orioles just went toe-to-toe with the best team in the American League, taking three out of four from the Rays in a hard-fought series […]

Did a four-game series in Tampa just define the Orioles season again?

There haven’t been many comparisons between the 2023 Orioles and this season’s team. The former was a 100-game winner, an AL East division champion and a team that historically outperformed the mediocre expectations placed upon them before the season. The latter currently has a sub .500 record, is scraping and clawing to stay in the […]

New York Yankees vs. Baltimore Orioles: Series Preview

After saving a crucial American League East series against the Toronto Blue Jays from a sweep in extra innings on Sunday, the Yankees will stay in their division and on the road. They head to Baltimore to face the Orioles, a team that is coming off a series win against the AL East-leading Tampa Bay […]

This week in the Orioles minors: Bradfield heats up, Estrada hits five homers

Orioles top prospect lists have turned over a lot since the start of the season. Between Samuel Basallo and Dylan Beavers graduating to the majors, players whose 2026 performance has changed their stock for better or worse, arrivals from the July draft, and prospects acquired in trade deadline deals, things look different than the lists […]

Orioles news 8/18: A sweep lost, Alonso named player of the week

Happy Tuesday, Camden Chatters! Yes, the Orioles lost last night. But you know what? I don’t even feel bad about it. There have been so many demoralizing losses this season, but last night was not one of them. After winning three straight from the best team in the American League, the Orioles looked on their […]
