    Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson to start on IL; Cade Povich gets rotation spot
    Later Sunday, manager Brandon Hyde said right-hander Félix Bautista will break camp with the team and be in Toronto for opening day Thursday.
    The earliest shortstop Gunnar Henderson can play during the regular season will be April 3.
    The hottest new pitch in the Orioles’ bullpen? Félix Bautista and Yennier Cano are both throwing the cutter.
    “He told me about it,” Bautista said. “I was like, ‘That’s really funny. Me too. I’m also throwing it.’”
    Orioles reliever Yennier Cano has made 142 appearances over the last two seasons.
    Orioles complete spring training no-hitter with 7 pitchers
    The seven-pitcher no-hitter is the first combined no-hitter in a spring training game since 2023. It’s the first on record for the Orioles, according to MLB.com.

    Orioles bring back veteran right-hander Kyle Gibson on 1-year deal
    Gibson pitched for the Orioles in 2023 and posted a 4.73 ERA in 192 innings.
    Kyle Gibson had a 4.24 ERA and 151 strikeouts in 169 2/3 innings last season with the St. Louis Cardinals.
    Chesapeake Baysox make charitable pledge after alternate identity goes viral for, well, the wrong reasons
    The Baysox are leaning into the situation for a good cause. “If we’re going to go viral, let’s make it count!” the team wrote on its Instagram account.
    According to a release from the Baysox, the oyster-in-glove logo was intended to show “a baseball nestled inside a Chesapeake oyster, playfully ‘caught’ by an orange baseball mitt. The team’s wordmark shimmers like the Bay itself, capturing the beauty and spirit of the region.”

    The Orioles are no longer the inexperienced baby birds. Their core has multiple major league seasons behind them and the team is counting on them to take that next step and be the leaders of the clubhouse.
    Tomoyuki Sugano finishes a strong spring with the Orioles on the mound — and the golf course
    Sugano’s final outing of the spring Thursday night was his worst since joining the Orioles, but it set him up to being his first season in MLB.
    Tomoyuki Sugano is likely to pitch during the Orioles’ season-opening series in Toronto.
    Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson is ‘running out of time’ to get more spring at-bats
    Henderson has an intercostal muscle strain, and while he completed a normal day of work — taking batting practice and fielding grounders — the 23-year-old may not appear in a spring training game before the finale Sunday.
    Shortstop Gunnar Henderson hasn’t taken an in-game at-bat since Feb. 27.
    6 stats that could define the 2025 Orioles | Banner Baseball Show
    If the Orioles don't improve in these key categories, they could struggle in 2025.
    With a shorter wall, Ryan Mountcastle can get back to pulling the ball for power
    Mountcastle has driven in 14 runs in 13 games. He’s gone deep five times, and his OPS is 1.130. He’s doing that by pulling the ball 43.3% of the time, per FanGraphs.
    Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle, left, could benefit more than any other hitter from the new dimensions at Camden Yards.
    Orioles option infield prospect Coby Mayo to Triple-A: ‘It obviously sucks’
    Across 151 games for the Tides, Mayo holds a .279 batting average and a .919 on-base-plus-slugging percentage. And yet, his path to Baltimore still appears blocked.
    Baltimore Orioles infielder Coby Mayo leaves the practice fields after batting practice at spring training last month.
    Arizona Diamondbacks reassign former Oriole Trey Mancini to minor league camp
    The outfielder/first baseman is attempting a comeback after sitting out last season.

    Jon Meoli: Coby Mayo is right that returning to Triple-A has its pitfalls. There’s upside, too.
    Without any kind of place for Mayo on the Orioles’ opening day roster, this feels a lot more like a case of delayed gratification than grave misjustice.
    Coby Mayo plays first base in a Grapefruit League game against the Detroit Tigers last month. He is learning that position after spending most of his time in the minors at third base.
    Meet Riley Cooper, the loud, confident, heavy metal-loving Orioles minor league pitcher
    Riley Cooper is not a high-profile pitching prospect in Baltimore’s system; he doesn’t throw with the sort of velocity that captivates scouts and makes front offices salivate. But he gets outs — and then he’ll yell and scream as if the whole stadium can hear the music that courses through him.
    Riley Cooper, who played for the LSU Tigers, has a tattoo on his arm that reads "Stronger Than All."
    Cade Povich makes his strongest case yet for an Orioles rotation spot
    Povich spun five no-hit innings, and while he walked three batters, he struck out six. Across his 14 2/3 innings this spring, Povich has struck out 15 batters with just those five runs in his last start against Toronto on his ledger.

    Who’s up? These Orioles are making a last-minute push to make the opening day roster
    While the major roster spots are sorted out, there’s still a rotation spot, bullpen space and potentially a bench infield position that are up in the air.

    Can this hard-throwing prospect be the next success story for the Orioles’ international development?
    On Saturday, the Orioles tabbed Morfe to start the spring breakout game, a prospect matchup against the Yankees that lines up the best minor leaguers not on their team’s 40-man roster against each other.
    Keeler Morfe
    Cedric Mullins doesn’t know where his career will take him after this season. He’s used to that.
    The team’s rebuild, a Crohn’s disease diagnosis, an end of his switch-hitting attempt, countless injuries and a 30-30 season have highlighted his tenure with the Orioles.
    Orioles center fielder Cedric Mullins plans to savor special moments this year in case it is his last season in Baltimore.
    Jorge Mateo returns to Orioles, but being ready for opening day is not a guarantee
    Mateo played five innings in Sunday’s spring training game, striking out and grounding out in two at-bats.
    Jorge Mateo injured his nonthrowing elbow in July.
