  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Pushing for roster spot

    Holliday has gone 12-for-40 (.300) with six extra-base hits and two stolen bases over 13 Grapefruit League games.

    An official decision on Holliday making the roster will likely arrive in the next week or so, but he's certainly made a compelling case. If he breaks camp with the Orioles, he'll likely do so with at least a strong-side platoon role at second base. Holliday can also provide cover at shortstop, his natural position, though it's expected Gunnar Henderson and Jorge Mateo will get most of the playing time there. Even if Holliday misses out on Opening Day, it doesn't seem like he'll have to wait long for his major-league debut at this point.

  • Orioles' Jorge Mateo: Providing outfield cover

    Mateo is likely to provide depth in the infield and outfield in 2024, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    With Gunnar Henderson set to see most of his playing time at shortstop, Mateo is without a full-time spot in the Orioles' lineup. Mateo got some work in at second base over the winter and has previously played center field in his career. In Sunday's game versus Atlanta, Mateo started in right field and shifted to left during the contest. He's gone 9-for-32 (.281) with two home runs and six RBI in spring training, but he has yet to steal a base during Grapefruit League play. Speed and defense are his top skills, but it's looking like a short-side platoon role may be a best-case scenario for Mateo to begin 2024. It's possible he sees most of his time as a late-game replacement.

  • Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Neck feeling better

    Mountcastle (neck) won't be in the lineup for either of Sunday's split-squad games but could return to game action as early as Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    The 26-year-old was scratched from Saturday's starting nine after his backed locked up on him while taking some swings, but he's apparently feeling much better a day later. The Orioles are likely to remain cautious so close to the start of the season, but at this point Mountcastle's availability for Opening Day doesn't appear to be in jeopardy.

  • Orioles' Kaleb Ort: Sent to minor-league camp

    The Orioles optioned Ort to minor-league camp Saturday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Ort was acquired by the Orioles on Feb. 19 after being DFA'd by the Phillies. Ort has given up three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four over 4.1 innings in spring training. The right-hander will start the 2024 season in the minors.

  • Orioles' Matt Krook: Optioned to minors

    The Orioles optioned Krook to minor-league camp Saturday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Krook was acquired by the Orioles on Feb. 18 after being designated for assignment by the Yankees five days prior. Krook has allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out seven over 4.0 innings in spring training. He'll start 2024 in the minors and look to work his way back to the big leagues.

  • Orioles' Peyton Burdick: Claimed by O's

    The Orioles claimed Burdick off waviers from the White Sox on Saturday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    After being DFA'd by Chicago on Wednesday, Burdick will retain a 40-man roster spot as he moves to Baltimore. The Orioles already have a healthy amount of talent in their major-league outfield, so Burdick will head to Triple-A Norfolk to begin the season and give the team some organizational depth.

  • Orioles' Maikol Hernandez: Has hamate surgery

    Hernandez underwent a hamate excision on his left hand earlier in March, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Hernandez will likely be out for a large portion of 2024 while he recovers. The shortstop hit .179 with a .577 OPS over 38 games with the Orioles' Florida Complex League affiliate last year.

  • Orioles' Jean Pinto: Undergoes Tommy John surgery

    Pinto underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow earlier in March, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Pinto will miss all of 2024 and likely a large chunk of 2025 while recovering from the surgery. He got up to Double-A in 2023, posting a 3.72 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 28:12 K:BB over 29 innings with Bowie. The 23-year-old was acquired by the Orioles from the Angels in a trade in December of 2020.

  • Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Dealing with neck stiffness

    Mountcastle reported neck stiffness Saturday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Mountcastle's neck reportedly began bothering him when he woke up, and it will keep him out of the lineup for at least Saturday's contest. He's considered day-to-day.

  • Orioles' Austin Hays: Battling illness

    Manager Brandon Hyde said Saturday that Hays is under the weather, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Hays' illness will likely keep him out of the Orioles' lineup for the next couple of spring games, but his status for Opening Day is unlikely to change. Hays is 4-for-26 so far this spring with a home run and five RBI.

  • Orioles' Creed Willems: Exits after HBP

    Willems was hit in the hand by a pitch and exited Thursday's spring game against the Pirates, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    The nature and extent of the injury is currently unclear. Willems is a mediocre prospect in the Orioles' organization and reached High-A Aberdeen in 2023, though he managed just a 60 wRC+ with a 27.7 percent strikeout rate across 311 plate appearances. Assuming he's healthy, he's likely to begin 2024 at the same level.

  • Orioles' Cole Irvin: Takes step back Wednesday

    Irvin allowed six runs on seven hits and four walks with three strikeouts over 3.2 innings versus Atlanta on Wednesday.

    Irvin experienced his first struggles this spring -- he had not allowed a run over his previous five innings across two starts. Irvin remains in contention for a rotation spot, and there should be enough room for both him and Tyler Wells at the start of the season, but that will likely change quickly once Kyle Bradish (elbow) and John Means (elbow) are given the all-clear.

  • Orioles' Cedric Mullins: Rejoins lineup Thursday

    Mullins (hamstring) will start in center field and bat leadoff in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates.

    He'll rejoin the spring lineup for the first time since March 4 after the Orioles elected to exercise caution with Mullins over the past week and a half while he contended with right hamstring discomfort. Considering that Mullins had already compiled nine at-bats through five spring games prior to suffering the injury, he should only require a handful more of appearances in the Grapefruit League to get himself prepared for the start of the regular season. The fact that Mullins is being deployed in the outfield rather than at designated hitter suggests the Orioles don't have any concern about his ability to sprint or change direction as he makes his way back from the hamstring injury.

  • Orioles' John Means: Throws bullpen session

    Means (elbow) threw a bullpen session Wednesday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Means is continuing his throwing progression as the club slow-plays him after he had some left elbow soreness last October. The left-hander will not pitch in Grapefruit League games but is hopeful of rejoining Baltimore's rotation before the end of April.
