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

CHICAGO -- The Orioles had good fortune in 2023, largely staying healthy en route to a 101-win season and AL East title. Baltimore is off to another strong start in 2024, but this time, its pitching depth is being tested early, Dean Kremer landed on the 15-day injured list Friday

BALTIMORE -- Just as the Orioles’ rotation was nearing full strength, the team’s pitching staff was dealt an unexpected big blow Wednesday afternoon. Baltimore placed right-hander Grayson Rodriguez on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation. It was a surprising move after the 24-year-old tossed 5 2/3 scoreless innings

BALTIMORE -- The first six pitches to leave Craig Kimbrel’s right hand at the start of the ninth inning on Sunday afternoon were balls, and Orioles manager Brandon Hyde could tell something might be wrong. The 35-year-old closer’s body movement seemed a bit off. “The way he was walking around

BALTIMORE -- Kyle Bradish has taken more encouraging steps in his recovery from a right UCL sprain. On Tuesday night, the Orioles right-hander made his first rehab start for Double-A Bowie, where he tossed three scoreless innings vs. Altoona. More important than the results, Bradish came out of the outing

SARASOTA, Fla. -- On Thursday, manager Brandon Hyde said it was a “little too early” in Spring Training to tell if John Means could be part of the Orioles’ Opening Day rotation. But the skipper assumes the group of five starters will not include the 30-year-old left-hander, who began his

SARASOTA, Fla. -- The Orioles should have their new ace ready to go for the start of the 2024 season. However, their returning No. 1 starter will not be part of the Opening Day rotation. While Corbin Burnes joined his new Baltimore teammates for the first day of Spring Training

BALTIMORE -- Félix Bautista will not pitch for the Orioles again in 2023 -- and he's unlikely to in the ‘24 season, either. On Saturday, Baltimore general manager Mike Elias announced that Bautista is scheduled to undergo Tommy John surgery, which will be performed by Dr. Keith Meister during the

BALTIMORE -- It’s been a little more than two weeks since the Orioles lost their All-Star closer, as Félix Bautista sustained an injury to the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow on Aug. 25 and then went on the 15-day injured list the following day. Since then, there hadn’t

BALTIMORE -- Orioles All-Star closer Félix Bautista is headed to the 15-day injured list, with general manager Mike Elias telling reporters on Saturday that he has "some degree of injury" to the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. “It’s less than 24 hours now and that’s all I’ve got,”

BALTIMORE -- Rookie sensation Gunnar Henderson cranked a dramatic two-run homer to put the Orioles ahead of the beleaguered Rockies with just three outs to go on a muggy Friday night at Camden Yards. The home crowd rose in anticipation as the AL’s best closer stepped to the hill. Henderson’s

BALTIMORE -- Orioles manager Brandon Hyde called it the “best-case scenario.” How could he not? When Cedric Mullins pulled up with an injury while running to first base on May 29, it could have been easy for everybody associated with Baltimore -- its players, its coaches, its fans -- to

BALTIMORE -- The Orioles’ continued offensive struggles during a 5-0 loss to the Guardians became a secondary worry for the club late Monday afternoon. The primary concern expressed from a quiet clubhouse postgame was the health of standout center fielder Cedric Mullins. During the bottom of the eighth inning, Mullins

BALTIMORE -- Since before Spring Training this year, the Orioles viewed John Means as a potential Trade Deadline-like impact acquisition who wouldn’t require them to part with any assets. The 30-year-old left-hander, who is on the 60-day injured list, underwent Tommy John surgery in April 2022, so this July seemed

ARLINGTON -- Orioles starter Kyle Bradish departed Monday night’s 2-0 series-opening win over the Rangers at Globe Life Field in the second inning after taking a 104 mph liner to his right foot. The ball, which came off the bat of Jonah Heim, knocked Bradish to the ground and ricocheted

BALTIMORE -- The Orioles placed right-hander Tyler Wells on the injured list prior to Friday’s tilt against the Astros at Camden Yards, all but assuredly ending the season for one of their most promising breakout pitchers on a staff full of them. Wells experienced some discomfort in his right shoulder

BALTIMORE -- Grayson Rodriguez was “at the point of checking every box you could think of,” coming closer to his much-anticipated Major League debut. But now the hope is simply that the top pitching prospect in baseball (and No. 3 overall, per MLB Pipeline) can return to any mound before

BALTIMORE -- Grayson Rodriguez, the top pitching prospect in baseball, has been diagnosed with a right lat muscle strain that will sideline him “probably a decent amount of time at a minimum,” Orioles executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias said Thursday afternoon -- a development that will delay

BALTIMORE -- Take a look at John Means, back in the Camden Yards clubhouse on Wednesday afternoon before the Orioles took on the Yankees, and there are a few noticeable differences. For starters, nearly the entirety of his left arm is bandaged and braced up following his Tommy John surgery

NEW YORK -- Orioles ace John Means underwent Tommy John surgery on Wednesday, and he will be sidelined for the rest of 2022 and part of the '23 season, team executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias said. The surgery -- performed by Dr. Keith Meister in Dallas --

BALTIMORE — The precise timetable and path forward for John Means remains unclear, a day after the Orioles placed their ace on the 10-day injured list with a left elbow strain. But the outlook remains grim, with the club preparing to be without Means for the foreseeable future. Asked today
