Orioles News

Gunnar Henderson's resurgence is a welcome sight for the Orioles, as he showcased his potential with a 4-for-4 performance that helped snap the Rays' nine-game win streak in a thrilling 6-5 victory. With Baltimore's playoff hopes hanging by a thread at 58-63, Henderson's offensive spark is critical. Meanwhile, Pete Alonso made a surprising debut at leadoff, collecting two hits as he adjusts to his new role. The return of Chris Bassitt from the injured list adds much-needed depth to a pitching staff that has struggled, especially as they face the AL's best team in the Rays. While Baltimore remains just two games out of a wild card spot, their recent play has been inconsistent, underscoring the importance of this series for momentum as the postseason race heats up.

Henderson heating up with 4-for-4 night as O's snap Rays' win streak at 9
ST. PETERSBURG -- Gunnar Henderson is finally looking like Gunnar Henderson again. And if the Orioles are going to make a run to the postseason, that’s something they badly need. Baltimore’s star shortstop had a huge game at Tropicana Field on Friday night, lifting his team to a series-opening 6-5

The 'right-handed Schwarber'? Alonso records 2 hits in 1st game batting leadoff
ST. PETERSBURG -- Pete Alonso had never batted leadoff in his eight-year, 1,129-game MLB career. Nor in the Minor Leagues. Nor while at the University of Florida. Nor while at H.B. Plant High School in Tampa. Nor any time in his youth before that. That changed Friday night.

Orioles-Rays series preview: Facing the AL’s best team
This is a series that, on paper, is not setting up well for the Orioles. Their underwhelming performance of late has dropped them to the bottom of the AL East, though they are still within two games of the final wild card spot. Meanwhile, the Rays have surged to a nine-game winning streak that has […]

Orioles Reinstate Chris Bassitt From 60-Day IL
The Orioles have reinstated righty Chris Bassitt from the 60-day injured list, per a club announcement. Baltimore had an open 40-man spot, so the O’s only needed to free up a spot on the 26-man roster for Bassitt. That was accomplished by optioning right-handed reliever Yaramil Hiraldo to Triple-A Norfolk. Bassitt, 37, has been out […]
