Baltimore Orioles

Baltimore's rotation will look a lot different in 2026.

Henderson’s grandfather died Feb. 10 at Grandview Medical Center in Birmingham, Alabama. He was 79.

The two first-time major league managers have been close friends since 2015.

These are the major takeaways from president of baseball operations Mike Elias’ end-of-spring news conference.

The Orioles made the surprise move to option right-hander Dean Kremer to the minors at the beginning of the season rather than carrying six starting pitchers.

Micah Ashman is a 23-year-old left-handed reliever who arrived midway through 2025 as the other half of the trade that sent right-hander Charlie Morton to the Detroit Tigers.

Manager Craig Albernaz said the pitching coaches were “studs” at December’s winter meetings and called them “elite” both then and at the start of camp.

Opening day is just around the corner (Thursday at Camden Yards against the Minnesota Twins).

Of all the Orioles players this spring, there may be none with a larger range of possibilities entering 2026 than Cowser.

In addition to the new bar, fans will be able to get into Camden Yards earlier this season to watch the home team take batting practice.

The deal, which includes sponsorships around Camden Yards, brings Henderson’s likeness to the Eutaw Street side of the new scoreboard.

With less than a week to go before the Orioles pack up and board a flight to Baltimore, here’s who could complete the team's roster.

Baltimore’s season hinges on whether the team can correct these issues.

Orioles manager Craig Albernaz joked that Bourgeois brings the tennis racket to the outfield to work on his game. But in reality, the drill could help Baltimore’s outfielders.

I bet everyone around and employed by the Orioles has watched the last couple of weeks play out thinking Henderson was going to be on a mission.

First baseman Pete Alonso, who declined to specifically detail the strategy to maintain what he called a tactical advantage, summed it up this way: “You’ve got to be self-aware to realize when to use it and when not to use it, but you relatively want to keep them for those [big] moments.”

COLUMN | For a first-year manager, Craig Albernaz has tremendous self-confidence, a combative personality and a motormouth. The Orioles have felt stagnant too often for the past season and a half. It’s hard to imagine Albernaz letting that happen.

Povich produced a 5.21 ERA in 112 1/3 innings last year, and while he showed flashes of dominance, command issues have worked against him.

After struggling in 2024, Rogers returned in 2025 as a star. He posted a 1.81 ERA with a 0.90 WHIP in 18 starts last season.
