Baltimore Orioles

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.

COLUMN | The Orioles have a talented group of potential reinforcements who will be in the high minors this year and could contribute in the major leagues.

The former big league manager cut his retirement short to join the Orioles in a minor league player development role.

COLUMN | At 24, Coby Mayo has flipped positions a few times. Now back at third, he’s trying to see a new coaching staff and a return to an old position as a clean slate rather than just the latest plot twist.

It took until last fall — the end of Bassitt’s three-year deal — for Toronto to put it together and finally realize their potential, coming inches from beating the Dodgers for last year’s title.

After a traumatic end to his career, Davis will be honored later this season.

Mayo has nine hits in his first 22 at-bats.

The largest roster battles facing the Orioles at this stage are at third base and in the bullpen

COLUMN | With the franchise shortstop going 4-for-5 in his WBC start against Great Britain on Saturday, it's a reminder that Gunnar Henderson can be at his best when the games matter. That's one reason it's imperative for the Orioles to get back to the playoffs this fall.

COLUMN | A few months ago, new Orioles manager Craig Albernaz recounted his early calls with the team’s returning players. We asked players what they told him.

The right-hander wants to improve his consistency.

“It’s just a strange feeling, kind of the way it happened in May and then not seeing people for a while,” Hyde said. “But it’s great to see these guys.”

As Cano aims to recapture the form he had during the best season of his career, his first step was returning to the routines he developed in Cuba that helped him blossom in 2023.
