BALTIMORE -- Adley Rutschman's hot start to the 2026 season has been slowed by an injury. The Orioles scratched Rutschman from their lineup prior to Saturday night's game vs. the Giants at Camden Yards, removing the 28-year-old catcher due to left ankle soreness. Samuel Basallo moved from designated hitter to

To go along with a young crew featuring Gunnar Henderson, Samuel Basallo and Adley Rutschman, the Orioles added some veteran savvy in Pete Alonso and Taylor Ward, giving the club a powerful lineup heading into the 2026 season.

BALTIMORE -- Through the first 13 games of his Orioles career, Pete Alonso hasn’t quite been himself. He’s not slugging home runs from the heart of the order. He’s not hitting well enough. The Polar Bear isn’t showing the level of production that landed him a five-year, $155 million contract

BALTIMORE -- Before the Orioles' City Connect 2.0 uniforms were released on Thursday, some of the team's players were given an advance look at the new threads. They donned the set for a photoshoot and had a chance to get acclimated with the unis they'll be wearing sporadically at home

BALTIMORE -- Oriole Park at Camden Yards has been one of MLB’s most gorgeous ballparks since first opening its gates on April 6, 1992. It looks just as great now as it did then, especially after the extensive upgrades and renovations it underwent this past winter. So, it only made

BALTIMORE -- Zach Eflin’s 2026 season is over after only one start. Eflin underwent Tommy John (UCL reconstruction) surgery on his right elbow on Wednesday, the Orioles announced. After undergoing imaging, the 32-year-old right-hander received a second opinion on his injured right elbow during a visit with Dr. Keith Meister

CHICAGO -- It wasn’t always pretty, and some of the issues that plagued Baltimore before its trip to Chicago made its way to the South Side -- but the ability to overcome those miscues says something in itself.

Not every star rookie makes an Opening Day roster. Take last year, for example. The most devastating rookie in baseball, Nick Kurtz, didn't join the Athletics until April 23 and slashed .290/.383/.619 with 36 homers in 117 games. Cade Horton arrived in May for the Cubs and posted a 2.67

CHICAGO -- Gunnar Henderson had been waiting for this moment. So had the Orioles, whose early-season struggles through the season’s first 10 games had built a sense of urgency in the clubhouse to turn things around sooner rather than later.

CHICAGO -- With two left-handed relievers now on the injured list (Keegan Akin and Dietrich Enns), the Orioles made a trade to add another southpaw to their bullpen mix. Baltimore acquired lefty Nick Raquet from St. Louis in exchange for infield/outfield prospect Brayden Smith, a 13th-round Draft pick in 2025,

CHICAGO -- Brandon Young didn’t provide the best start of the Orioles’ young season, that honor still resides with Trevor Rogers’ Opening Day gem. But the most important outing of the year? That honor does go to Young.

The baseball season is back and 2026's Opening Weekend was certainly one for the books. There was no shortage of action, drama, and the introduction of the ABS challenge system still has the league buzzing. But, it was the rookies that stole the show. Chase DeLauter (CLE No. 2 prospect)

PITTSBURGH -- This wasn’t how things were supposed to go for the Orioles. They appeared ready to leave the trials and tribulations experienced during their challenging 2025 season in the past and return to the ways of the postseason teams of ‘23 and ‘24. The results were expected to be

PITTSBURGH -- Cade Povich's first MLB appearance of 2026 came sooner than expected. The Orioles recalled Povich from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, and the 25-year-old left-hander pitched 5 2/3 innings of two-run relief in an 8-2 loss to the Pirates at PNC Park. Although it hadn’t been 15 days since

PITTSBURGH -- It’s been a tough go early for the 2026 Orioles, and Saturday’s 3-2 loss to the Pirates at PNC Park was a microcosm of what’s gone wrong during a difficult 3-5 start. From the missed opportunities on offense, to the less-than-ideal defensive play, to perhaps even the usage

PITTSBURGH -- Since joining the Orioles on Feb. 5, Blaze Alexander has said multiple times his goal on defense is to “be an athlete.” The 26-year-old utility man has many ways he can do that, considering he’s capable of playing anywhere in the infield or outfield. What Alexander did on

PITTSBURGH -- A new update has emerged pertaining to the status of Orioles right-hander Zach Eflin's injured right elbow. Manager Craig Albernaz said prior to Friday's series opener in Pittsburgh that Eflin is traveling to Dallas to get a second opinion on the elbow from Dr. Keith Meister. Eflin, who

BALTIMORE -- When the Orioles need a pitcher to step up and fill an unexpected hole on their staff -- and it could be any hole -- they can always count on Albert Suárez to do so. The 36-year-old right-hander has proven that for three seasons now. It happened on

With the Minor League season kicking off, here's where the Orioles’ Top 30 Prospects are projected to start:

1. Nate George (MLB No. 93), OF -- Frederick (High-A)
2. Luis De León, LHP -- Chesapeake (Double-A)
3. Trey Gibson, RHP -- Norfolk (Triple-A)
4. Ike Irish, C/1B/OF -- Frederick (High-A)

With games kicking off on Thursday at both levels of A ball as well as Double-A, and Triple-A entering its second week of play, the 2026 Minor League season is now fully underway. That means we can finally see all of our favorite prospects performing on the field. We know

BALTIMORE -- If it felt like neither Orioles left-hander Trevor Rogers nor Rangers righty Nathan Eovaldi gave up many runs last year, that’s because they didn’t. In fact, entering Wednesday, those two pitchers owned the best ERAs in MLB since the beginning of the 2025 season (minimum 100 innings), with
