“I think that we’re moving in the right direction and it’s not all going to be instantaneous, but I hope to see our record improve over the next month or so,” Elias said.

A timeline is hard to pin down for Holliday. President of baseball operations Mike Elias said the Orioles “were probably expecting to have him back around now,” but no two recoveries are the same.

This was Baltimore’s first extra-innings game of the season. It didn’t go smoothly, and it continued an uneasy return to the bullpen for Tyler Wells

Rogers allowed four runs in 4 2/3 innings. Sure, he gave up nine hits, but who doesn’t have an off night?

The mild right wrist soreness is near the spot where Holliday underwent surgery in February to remove a broken hamate bone.

The Orioles first baseman toured BARCS, met adoptable animals and donated $10,000 with his wife, Haley.

Orioles manager Craig Albernaz was struck in the face by a 70 mph foul ball off the bat of infielder Jeremiah Jackson on Monday night.

Kremer has been a reliable figure in recent seasons. He’s coming off a campaign in which he recorded a 4.19 ERA in 171 2/3 innings.
