The Orioles don’t plan to include top pitching prospect Grayson Rodriguez on the opening day roster, two sources with direct knowledge of the situation told The Baltimore Banner, putting off the right-hander’s long-awaited debut with Baltimore.

The Orioles' top pitching prospect gave up five runs, two of them earned, in a 9-6 loss to the Boston Red Sox.

Drew Wolcott is a Maryland native who now takes care of the field at Ed Smith Stadium. And his assistant is a dog he adopted because he heard a lady at the shelter say, “He’s kind of the one we think was dropped on his head as a child.”

The New York Court of Appeals did not indicate when it will issue an opinion in the case.

The 30-year-old reliever was pitching in Japan, watching his son grow up on FaceTime and wondering if baseball was worth the strife. Then he connected with an old friend who had become a performance psychology consultant.
