Latest news and updates about the Orioles
Question: Is it my imagination, or are the 2026 Orioles unusually unlucky in having their hard-hit balls go directly to infielders for outs? Are there any metrics that measure this? From: Steve McCardell Answer: Steve, according to Baseball Savant, Gunnar Henderson is the unluckiest Orioles hitter. Entering Monday night’s game, he had a .220 batting […]
A king can get knocked around. It can lose three straight games at home. It can even trail by two runs in the seventh inning with a four-game sweep creeping closer. But, as D’Angelo Barksdale once explained on The Wire, “The king stay the king, aight.” Jonny DeLuca helped the Rays remain atop the American […]
The Orioles took the field tonight in pursuit of a four-game sweep against the first-place Rays. The offense put the team in a position to pull it off, but the bullpen failed to hold the advantage. Yennier Cano allowed three runs in the seventh, and the Rays got the last laugh with a 7-6 win. […]
The Yankees announced today that Carlos Rodón will make his return from the injured list tomorrow night. Out since June 28th with left elbow inflammation, the left-hander will start in the first game of this week’s three-game set with the Orioles. Rodón made two rehab starts in the lead-up to his return, looking particularly sharp in his […]
For the first time in nearly two years, the Orioles have an American League Player of the Week. Pete Alonso hit .546 (12-for-22) with two home runs and five RBIs and a 1.494 OPS. Alonso is the first Oriole to win Player of the Week since shortstop Gunnar Henderson on September 9th, 2024. It’s his […]
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Orioles fans and fans across the country. In defiance of what anyone could have imagined for the Orioles when they traded away the players they did before the trade deadline, they have not […]
Prior to the Field of Dreams game, the Twins took care of business against the Orioles, with Dean Kremer providing a “Revenge Game TM” performance against his old team. Unfortunately, the good vibes stopped as soon as the Twins walked through the cornfields, as they finished out the week getting swept by the Phillies, including […]
2026 MLB Playoffs Tiebreakers: The American League Wild Card race is a free-for-all right now, particularly as it relates to the third and final seed. The Texas Rangers, Toronto Blue Jays, Detroit Tigers, Baltimore Orioles, Cleveland Guardians and Minnesota Twins are all within a game or so of the final Wild Card spot. The Seattle […]
The Orioles are currently in possession of a wild card spot. This is not something that I thought I would be writing in mid-August. The idea of the Orioles getting into this position has seemed improbable throughout the season due to all of their flaws. This only seemed less probable at the beginning of this […]
Despite selling at the deadline, battling key injuries for months, and treading water all season long, the Orioles find themselves in sole possession of a playoff spot with less than a quarter of the schedule left to play. It has been an unlikely about face that has seen the O’s beat up on the AL’s […]

Question: The 2026 season is over for Baltimore. Lockout/strike aside … this winter, the 2027 Orioles need: 1) An Ace 2) A left-handed relief closer type to pair with their two right-handed relief closer types, Ryan Helsley and Félix Bautista, if they are healthy 3) A centerfielder 4) A rightfielder 5) To sign Trevor Rogers […]
Until Friday night, Chris Bassitt ‘s season had been more about words than actions. Back in April, the 37-year-old right-hander criticized his fellow pitchers for being “too cute” and not being aggressive enough in their approach. Like another veteran who joined the Orioles this season, 31-year-old Pete Alonso, he seemed to be taking a leadership […]

Sunday play ends with O's holding an AL playoff spot
It’s a been a fun weekend of Orioles baseball.

Another victory today could push them into sole possession of that place. […]
When the Brewers needed him most, he vanished. Well, actually, he struggled. A lot. Some may argue he never showed up. In February 2024, the Milwaukee Brewers traded Cy Young winner and ace of their pitching rotation, Corbin Burnes, to the Baltimore Orioles in return for Joey Ortiz, DL Hall, and future considerations. At the […]
