Baltimore Orioles

“It’s swollen pretty good,” manager Craig Albernaz said, “so yesterday he went to the hospital and got some IVs with antibiotics. It’s crazy. I’m not sure what happened. But his foot is pretty gnarly.”

There have been errors and walks and strikeouts galore. And, even when a fielder hasn’t been charged with an error, the misplays have stacked up.

After Diosdado Buton Nuñeza’s death in October 2024, Garcia grappled with a future in baseball that didn’t include his grandfather. But a way to honor Nuñeza came to him before the 2025 season.

The Orioles are 3-6, and while left-hander Trevor Rogers has been a bright spot, there have been few other flares thus far.

Baltimore’s first-time skipper was ejected for the first time in his major league career in the third inning Sunday as bad went to worse for the Orioles.

Cade Povich can be recalled Sunday because right-hander Yaramil Hiraldo was placed on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation.

In the fourth and eighth innings, Shane Baz and Anthony Nunez didn’t make the plays they should have made.

Bradish was fine in his second start but didn’t come close to exhibiting what made him a Cy Young Award candidate in 2023.

COLUMN | These are extremely uncomfortable decisions the Orioles are forcing opposing managers to make, and there’s too much quality at the top of the lineup to not punish teams.

As Baltimore prepares for its first road trip, here are five takeaways from the opening week.

Dean Kremer is the natural replacement for Eflin in the rotation.

Baz and Cowser played each other nearly every tournament from ages 8-12. They are teammates now, but bragging rights remain whether it’s friendly fire or not.

“I think we had two [challenges left] at that point,” the 21-year-old Basallo said. “I thought why not use it? Better to use it and see what happens instead of holding on to it.

To be a complete team, the Orioles will hope for more performances like this one, with a diverse run-manufacturing catalog.

The Orioles' uneven start doesn’t mean anything in the context of a six-month season. It’s just not what this particular season needed to separate everything that will happen going forward from everything that happened last year.

Alonso squared up a low-and-inside fastball from former Mets teammate Jacob deGrom.

The Orioles’ relievers, thrown into the fire after two nights of shortened starts, couldn’t hold the Rangers in check.

With two scoreless innings in Nunez's debut Saturday, one of the most improbable stories in baseball may only be getting started.

The loss featured more shaky defense from the Orioles (2-2) and an uneven debut from right-hander Chris Bassitt that created an early deficit.

The inspiration was unclear at first. Jackson Holliday thought it stemmed from the Happy Hands Club scene of “Napoleon Dynamite.” Outfielder Dylan Beavers thought it was a butterfly.
