As O's have outfielders struggling, will Kyle Stowers get a chance?

The Orioles offense has produced just four runs and seven hits the last two games and they have lost both. By 9-2 to Arizona and by 3-2 in 10 innings to Toronto. The Orioles, Cubs and Phillies are the only teams in MLB this year without a three-game losing streak. The Birds need a win tonight to avoid one now. The O's earlier had a pair of two-game

The current homestand is the longest of the season. I'd like to avoid carrying the heaviest mailbag. Time again to empty it. Same rules apply. You ask, I try to answer, sometimes you ask the exact same thing again and I decide whether to indulge you or shatter your hopes and dreams. Confused by the title? Then you're new here. This is another seque

Corbin Burnes is universally liked and respected inside the Orioles clubhouse. Teammates were thrilled by the trade that brought him to Baltimore. They lauded his work ethic in camp. Everything from his routine in the weight room to how he approached bullpen sessions and starts. Their failure to provide offensive support isn’t personal. More of a w

Coming off a season when they posted a winning record against every other American League East club for the first time since 2014, the Orioles are playing well again so far this year in division games. There have just been so few to date. The Orioles went 3-0 at Boston April 9-11 and went 3-1 versus the Yankees at home in late April and earlier thi

Heston Kjerstad appeared only seven games with the Orioles and made the lineup four times before they optioned him today to Triple-A Norfolk. He made 17 plate appearances. They want one of their top prospects to get busy again. Asked earlier today whether the decision on Kjerstad was motivated by his need to play more, manager Brandon Hyde said, “T

The Orioles made a second outfield-related roster move today, reinstating Austin Hays from the 10-day injured list and designating Ryan McKenna for assignment. McKenna can decline an outright assignment and become a free agent if he clears waivers. Hays worked out on the field earlier today before the Orioles decided to reinstate him. Hays and Kyle

CHICAGO – It was a warm, muggy morning and early afternoon here in the Windy City, but it has turned dark and, well, windy in the last 30 minutes. There’s a storm approaching, and they just rolled the tarp out to cover up the infield at Guaranteed Rate Field. This could be a problem throughout the evening. If they’re able to play, the Nationals ope
