ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Hyun Soo Kim is not in tonight's Orioles lineup for the first of three games against the Rays at Tropicana Field. Kim, who left Sunday's final game of the first half with a right hamstring strain, is listed among the reserves on the lineup card. Adam Jones, Chris Davis, Caleb Joseph and Ryan Flaherty took early batting practice. Mychal and Tiffani Givens are the proud parents of daughter Makaylah Grace, born yesterday in Tampa. She's seven pounds and 13 ounces and...

There has been a bit of a shuttle going on in recent days in the Orioles bullpen as the club works to find another left-hander to join Zach Britton and also fresh arms to help keep the 'pen from being overused. Just in the last several days before the All-Star break, we saw Ariel Miranda, Jayson Aquino and Jason Garcia make their way onto the Orioles roster. Now comes 25-year-old left-hander Donnie Hart, a sidearming southpaw who has never made his way onto those top prospects lists, but...

The Orioles will conduct a workout this evening at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla. Their season is inching closer to resumption. Left-hander Donnie Hart may not make it until Friday morning. Either way, he's the latest roster move, the next reliever to spin the revolving door to the bullpen. Mychal Givens is expected to be available on Friday rather than go on the paternity list. The All-Star break and a road series against the Rays worked in the Tampa native's favor. Outfielder Hyun...

Remember the left-handed reliever that the Orioles wanted to bring up before Friday night's game against the Rays? It's Double-A Bowie's Donnie Hart, who is expected to join the team in St. Petersburg, Fla., after tonight's Eastern League All-Star Game. Sources confirmed today that the Orioles will select Hart's contract from Bowie. They already made space on the 40-man roster by outrighting pitcher David Hale to Triple-A Norfolk and on the 25-man roster by optioning pitcher Jason Garcia...

SEATTLE - The Orioles' Double-A Bowie Baysox affiliate will be sending four players to the Eastern League All-Star Game in Akron on Wednesday, July 13. Catcher Chance Sisco, infielder Garabez Rosa, and left-handed pitchers Jayson Aquino and Donnie Hart will represent the Baysox and play for the West Division team in the game. In 50 games, the 21-year-old Sisco is batting .310 with one homer, 26 RBIs, a .401 on-base percentage and a .803 OPS. Sisco ranks fourth in the Eastern League in batting...

ANAHEIM, Calif. - It might be one of the hardest things to do in Major League Baseball. That is not play regularly, but then come through with hits in the times when you are called on. So far this year, Orioles outfielder Nolan Reimold is handling that task well. He doesn't start every night and has just 62 at-bats and that ranks 10th on the team. But when given the opportunities, he has come through. "It's tough, you just have to stay ready," Reimold said. "The more you do it, the better...

SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles contacted pitcher Gavin Floyd about a tryout at minicamp this week, but he turned down the offer. Floyd, a Severna Park native and graduate of Mount St. Joseph High School, is playing long toss after undergoing surgery on his right elbow for a second consecutive year. He hasn't thrown off a mound. The Orioles could try again later this winter. Hunter Harvey is the only Orioles pitcher scheduled to throw a bullpen session Wednesday before the conclusion of minicamp...

SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles have signed Alex Liddi to a minor league deal. A team official confirmed it earlier this morning. Liddi, 27, appeared in 49 games with Triple-A Norfolk in 2013. He spent the 2015 season at Double-A Northwest Arkansas in the Royals system, batting .287/.324/.474 with 39 doubles, six triples, 13 home runs and 56 RBIs in 128 games. Liddi, a native of Italy, batted .208/.266/.370 in 61 games with the Mariners over parts of three seasons, the last in 2013. Ashur...

For six players from the Orioles minor leagues, their time in the Arizona Fall League is almost over. They've played for the Peoria Javelinas, who are 12-12 with three games left and cannot finish in first place. But the six have gained valuable high-level experience. Orioles director of player development Brian Graham was recently in Arizona and I asked him about the O's prospects out there. Adrian Marin is a 21-year-old infielder who was the Single-A Frederick Keys' shortstop the past two...

Orioles top pitching prospect Dylan Bundy retired the side in order in his only inning today for the Peoria Javelinas in the Arizona Fall League. Bundy needed only seven pitches to dispose of the Mesa Solar Sox. He threw five strikes. Bundy, 22, induced a fly ball to center field by Chad Hinshaw, struck out Daniel Robinson on four pitches and induced a fly ball to right field by Wilson Contreras. Lucas Sims replaced him in the bottom of the second inning. Orioles top catching prospect Chance...

The Orioles have named Double-A Bowie first baseman Trey Mancini their minor league Player of the Month for May and Single-A Delmarva left-hander Donnie Hart as minor league Pitcher of the Month. Mancini earned the awad for his play at Single-A Frederick and was promoted to Bowie yesterday. Frederick's Drew Dosch was the April award winner. In May, Mancini led all Carolina League hitters with a .362 average to go along with five home runs, 19 RBIs and eight doubles. The former Notre Dame...
