SARASOTA, Fla. -- Gunnar Henderson hasn’t played in a Grapefruit League game since Feb. 27, when the Orioles’ star shortstop sustained a mild right intercostal strain. The 23-year-old has slowly returned to baseball activities over the past week. Does Henderson still believe he can be ready for Opening Day on

LAKELAND, Fla. -- The Orioles’ starting rotation and bullpen will each be without a key member at the start of the 2025 season.

SARASOTA, Fla. -- Add another key Orioles player to the list of those dealing with injuries this Spring Training.

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Gunnar Henderson's availability for Opening Day may be in question. The Orioles’ star shortstop has been diagnosed with a mild right intercostal strain, an injury he sustained last Thursday while making a jumping catch in Grapefruit League action vs. the Blue Jays. Manager Brandon Hyde said

SARASOTA, Fla. -- The Orioles will continue to be cautious with one of their banged-up star players over the next few days. Gunnar Henderson, who exited Thursday’s Grapefruit League game vs. the Blue Jays at Ed Smith Stadium due to lower right side discomfort, was still feeling sore on Friday,

SARASOTA, Fla. -- Get the flickering entrance lights ready at Camden Yards. Cue the “Omar Whistle” from “The Wire” and the anticipatory music that accompanies it. Félix is comin’ (back). It won’t be long before Félix Bautista makes his long-awaited return to the Orioles’ bullpen. The Baltimore crowd will surely

NEW YORK -- The Orioles have been dealt a final blow in their injury-plagued 2024 regular season, one that will negatively impact their pitching staff for the postseason. Right-hander Grayson Rodriguez has been shut down and will not pitch again this year, manager Brandon Hyde announced prior to Wednesday’s game

DETROIT -- With just 13 games remaining in the regular season, the Orioles got a big boost on Sunday with the return of Heston Kjerstad. Baltimore’s former top prospect was back in at designated hitter for the O's in their 4-2 finale loss vs. the Tigers, and went 0-for-2 out

DENVER -- The Orioles started September with a flurry of roster moves as they hit the heart of the playoff race. The Orioles recalled third baseman Coby Mayo (the club's No. 1 prospect and MLB Pipeline's No. 9 overall), as expected. They also brought up catcher David Ba?uelos, who had

DENVER -- When the Orioles left Coors Field on Saturday night, they were walking away from more than the ballpark. They were also walking away from August -- and gladly. Baltimore went 13-15 during the month, which came to a close with a 7-5 loss to the Rockies that saw

LOS ANGELES -- In recent weeks, Jorge Mateo knew surgery remained a possibility for his injured left elbow, as doctors hadn’t ruled out him needing to undergo a procedure. But the 29-year-old infielder held out hope that he could return to play for the Orioles later this year. That will

NEW YORK -- The Orioles' starting rotation took another hit on Tuesday when right-hander Zach Eflin was placed on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to Saturday) with right shoulder inflammation. But the Orioles are hopeful that Eflin's injury is a short-term issue and that the 30-year-old right-hander -- who has

TORONTO -- There’s no good time to get bad news, but 10 minutes before first pitch is especially tough. That’s around the time that Grayson Rodriguez, the 24-year-old right-hander in the middle of a great sophomore season, was scratched from his start against the Blue Jays on Tuesday night at

BALTIMORE -- The Orioles took three out of four games from the Blue Jays with a 10-4 victory at Camden Yards on Wednesday afternoon, a day highlighted by a Jackson Holliday grand slam that marked the first big league homer for MLB Pipeline’s No. 1 overall prospect. Yet, there was

BALTIMORE -- James McCann took a 94.6 mph fastball to the face, potentially sustained a broken nose, bled all over the field and onto his jersey, had a swollen left eye making it difficult to see -- and then played eight more innings of baseball at catcher, the most physically

MIAMI -- Baltimore infielder Jorge Mateo, who exited the series opener in Miami on Tuesday with a left elbow injury, will be out for “some time,” manager Brandon Hyde announced following the Orioles’ 6-3 loss on Wednesday night. Mateo was in the O's clubhouse at loanDepot park on Thursday morning

BALTIMORE -- Things finally seemed like they could be trending upward for the Orioles. Manager Brandon Hyde arrived at Camden Yards on Saturday to good news -- Heston Kjerstad appeared to be OK and was ready to spring right back into action after taking a 96.8 mph pitch to the

NEW YORK -- For the third time in 17 days, an Orioles starting pitcher underwent a procedure on his ulnar collateral ligament. The latest to do so marked the biggest blow to the rotation yet. On Wednesday evening at Yankee Stadium, general manager Mike Elias announced that right-hander Kyle Bradish

BALTIMORE -- John Means' baseball career was always improbable, but it’s maybe never been more uncertain. Facing his second grueling, 18-month elbow rehab in two years, Means is unlikely to return to a Major League mound until late 2025 or potentially early ‘26. But the Orioles’ longest-tenured starter, and their

BALTIMORE -- Eventually, the Orioles wound up on the short end of a wild, 5-3 extra-innings loss to the Phillies on Friday night at Camden Yards. But it was what they lost earlier in the game that has them more worried long term. Right-hander Kyle Bradish's status is uncertain after

BALTIMORE -- Over the past few weeks, the Orioles’ starting pitching landscape was seemingly getting a bit crowded. They were finally close to full strength, sparking internal conversations about shifting to a six-man rotation at some point in June. On Friday, Baltimore’s pitching staff was dealt a pair of big
