Baltimore Orioles Headlines

Baltimore's season is underway, but the sting of yesterday's 10-7 loss to the Braves lingers, magnified by the absence of Jordan Westburg, who is out with a partial UCL tear. This injury casts doubt on the lineup's offensive potential, raising questions about whether the Orioles can maintain their elite status without him. Meanwhile, Pete Alonso, fresh off his blockbuster five-year deal, is expected to lead the charge and reassure fans with his All-Star credentials. On the pitching side, Chris Bassitt's fiery BP session hints at his potential to anchor a rotation that has been called out for lacking frontline talent in the competitive AL East. With a mixed record so far and upcoming challenges against the Twins, the Orioles must find their stride quickly to avoid falling behind.

Can the Orioles still have an elite offense without Jordan Westburg?
After having the 2025 season derailed largely due to injuries, the news that came out of Sarasota last Friday was the last thing Birdland wanted to hear: Jordan Westburg is set to miss the first month with a partial UCL tear that could end up costing him the whole season.

What do you expect from Pete Alonso this year?
