SEATTLE -- Catharsis came for the Orioles late Saturday afternoon, in a celebratory postgame clubhouse nearly a fortnight in the making. In one corner, Keon Broxton danced, a 10-game burden lifted off his and the rest of the Orioles’ backs. “Break the ice, get the juices flowing again, get back

Citing “huge improvement” in the swelling of his left elbow, Trey Mancini returned to action after a three game absence, playing first base and batting second opposite Mariners lefty Tommy Milone.

SEATTLE -- By the time the sharp grounder scooted past J.P. Crawford and into center field, the Orioles had scratched back enough bandwidth to allow them to dream. Punchless for much of this road trip and much of Friday night’s 10-9 loss to the Mariners, the Orioles had strung together

SEATTLE -- For all the trials and tribulations (and turnover) the Orioles have faced on the mound lately, it’s been a team-wide struggle to generate runs that has brought those struggles squarely into focus.

SEATTLE -- Confident he’ll be able to return when eligible next week, the Orioles placed John Means on the 10-day injured list among a flurry of roster moves Thursday. A minor left shoulder strain marks the first hiccup in the left-hander’s emergent rookie season. Standing at his locker a few

While the majority of the full-season leagues throughout the Minors have already reached the midseason mark, another batch of leagues, commonly referred to as short-season leagues, are just beginning and contain many of the game’s top up-and-coming prospects. The New York-Penn and Northwest Leagues (Class A Short Season) as well

OAKLAND -- Of all the hideous defeats the Orioles have absorbed this season, Tuesday night’s 16-2 crushing at the hands of the Oakland A’s may have been the worst. The A’s clobbered six home runs, all of them between the third and seventh innings, while lengthening Baltimore’s losing streak to

OAKLAND -- The Orioles plan to use right-hander Jimmy Yacabonis as an opener in Wednesday’s series finale against the Oakland A’s. Left-hander Josh Rogers will follow out of the bullpen. Baltimore manager Brandon Hyde was hesitant to name a starter for Wednesday, having been forced to use an excessive number

OAKLAND -- It’s easy to suggest that the Orioles did more to win Monday night’s series opener against the A’s than to lose it. But ballclubs with winning percentages below .300 have a way of doing just enough to lose. Its good deeds might outnumber the bad ones, but the

Another month and change has gone by since we last updated our Top 100 Prospects list. We’re just about at the half-way point of the 2019 Minor League season and short-season leagues have just gotten underway, so it’s a perfect time to make some tweaks to the list. This will

BALTIMORE -- A few strides out of the Orioles’ dugout, frustration festered on the face of Brandon Hyde, the skipper’s irritation plain to see. Hyde was livid.

BALTIMORE -- Three decades ago, long before his son would emerge into one of the Majors’ breakout sluggers, Renato Nunez Sr. had his own baseball dream derailed. This was in the mid-1980s in baseball-crazed Valencia, Venezuela, a city that would become a pipeline of sorts for big league talent in
