On Wednesday, the Orioles sent right-hander Kyle Nicolas to the Nats in exchange for Minor League infielder Randal Diaz. Nicolas was optioned to Triple-A

BALTIMORE -- The Orioles needed a stopper. And right on cue, Dean Kremer returned. After missing more than two months due to a right quad strain, Kremer was reinstated from the injured list on Wednesday, and provided exactly the type of outing Baltimore was looking for. The 30-year-old right-hander tossed

BALTIMORE -- Ryan Helsley was warming in the Orioles' bullpen prior to the ninth inning of the team's 6-1 win over the White Sox at Camden Yards on Wednesday afternoon. However, when the doors swung open in center field, it was Andrew Kittredge -- not Helsley -- who ran through

BALTIMORE -- The home supporters at Camden Yards voiced their displeasure during the third inning on Tuesday night, as Junior Perez and two of his White Sox teammates rounded the bases following his three-run home run -- a blast that capped a seven-run rally and had the Orioles well on

There is no other Major League park quite like Oriole Park at Camden Yards. This was true the day it opened in 1992, and it remains true today. From the generation of future stadiums it inspired to its iconic brick warehouse beyond the right-field fence, Baltimore’s jewel of a ballpark

BALTIMORE -- Colton Cowser is developing a knack for providing moments of déjà vu. Remember last month when the Orioles’ center fielder hit walk-off home runs on back-to-back days? (May 24 vs. the Tigers and May 25 vs. the Rays). Well, Cowser is back at it again this week, only

BALTIMORE -- One of the longest-tenured players on the Orioles’ roster has hit the injured list and won’t be back until after the All-Star break, at the earliest. Left-hander Keegan Akin was placed on the 15-day IL due to left elbow discomfort prior to Monday night’s series opener vs. the

BALTIMORE -- The Orioles have not played their best defense in 2026. They did not play their best defense on Sunday, either, when they took a 6-4 loss to the Nationals in the finale of a three-game series at Camden Yards. However, Colton Cowser continues to be one of the

BALTIMORE -- The Orioles got a pair of key position-player reinforcements on Sunday morning. However, the transactions came along with a pair of moves that were a bit surprising.

BALTIMORE -- MLB’s Trade Deadline isn’t until Aug. 3. A lot can change between now and then, and perhaps there will be more clarity in the American League by that time, as nearly every team in the Junior Circuit entered Saturday either in postseason position or within striking distance of

BALTIMORE -- The story of 11-year-old Declan Lefevre’s youth baseball career is inspirational. When Declan was about 4 years old, a doctor noticed his legs were different lengths. And it wasn’t something he would grow out of, either, which is something his parents -- father Jeff Lefevre and mother Nichole

BALTIMORE -- As the Aug. 3 Trade Deadline keeps drawing closer, rumors will continue to circulate, particularly on social media. Naturally, some will have more merit than others. One player who has already been featured in some online speculation this summer is Adley Rutschman. Would the Orioles consider dealing the

BALTIMORE -- The 2025 version of Trevor Rogers appears to be back in Baltimore. After a difficult start to 2026, Rogers has been putting everything back together in mid-June.

ANAHEIM -- Jackson Holliday's return to the Orioles’ lineup won't come until the team returns home later this week. Holliday was out of the lineup for the fourth straight game due to groin tightness on Wednesday, when the O's concluded their three-game series at Angel Stadium with a 7-6, 10-inning

ANAHEIM -- The 18.9 mph dribbler off the bat of the Angels’ Logan O’Hoppe slowly rolled down the third-base line, before Orioles catcher Samuel Basallo jumped up out of his crouch and retrieved it within 15-20 feet of home plate. At that point, the 21-year-old rookie backstop had to immediately

ANAHEIM -- Baltimore’s first winning streak of four or more games during the 2026 season will have to wait until the second half of its schedule.

LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers are the two-time defending World Series champions. Dodger Stadium features a raucous environment, as the ballpark is routinely filled with 50,000-plus fans.

LOS ANGELES -- Father's Day has always meant a lot to Orioles manager Craig Albernaz. "It’s a very special day. Not as special as Mother’s Day. I like my life, all right?" Albernaz said with a smile. Sunday provided another opportunity for Albernaz to not only honor his own father,

LOS ANGELES -- Some may have thought Yoshinobu Yamamoto might flirt with a no-hitter on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium. After all, the 27-year-old Japanese right-hander came within one out of a no-no when he faced the Orioles for the first time at Camden Yards last Sept. 6 (before the

LOS ANGELES -- After getting hit in the head with a ball on a freak play that occurred in Seattle on Thursday afternoon, Adley Rutschman was placed on the 7-day concussion injured list prior to Saturday night’s game at Dodger Stadium, the Orioles announced. It marks the second IL stint
