Baltimore Orioles

Mountcastle’s 0-for-5 game Monday night was surprising. His two-homer, five-RBI night in the Orioles’ 10-1 win over the Blue Jays on Tuesday was not.

The Orioles’ 2019 draft class has proven to be a turning point for the organization under Mike Elias’s leadership.

Teheran, 33, has an extensive track record as a reliable starter in the majors, but he has struggled to maintain a place since a 2021 shoulder injury.

Cano’s high-level sinker and change-up are on the scouting reports of every team in baseball, and there’s enough video now to allow batters to adjust against him.

Hays is hitting .294 since returning from the injured list on May 13, including three multi-hit games. This game in Toronto was the clearest sign that Hays was on the right track.

Norby, who has more than 900 Triple-A at-bats, was waiting and waiting for this call, pondering if his time would ever come as younger prospects leap-frogged over him.

The recovery timeline is 12 to 18 months. The surgery was performed by Dr. Keith Meister in Arlington, Texas.

Norby, whom Baltimore drafted in the second round of the 2021 draft out of East Carolina, ranks as the Orioles’ No. 6 prospect, according to MLB Pipeline.

Since Jackson Holliday returned to Norfolk, he said he looks back on his 10 games with the Orioles earlier this season with a silver lining.

Right-hander Dillon Tate faltered in the eighth inning, conceding two singles and a two-run double to Jose Siri that lifted the Rays to a comeback 4-3 win against the Orioles.

Sam Gomes was an old-school baseball coach at Santa Rosa Junior College who had high standards for his players. His approach worked, sending more than 50 catchers off to four-year colleges — including Hyde and Cossins.

Santander’s home run was one of four the Orioles hit as they beat the Rays 9-5, overcoming an uncharacteristically short start from Kyle Bradish.

The farther we get from the rebuilding years, the harder it is to envision many of the players who wore those losses and grew through those struggles ultimately being here to enjoy an ultimate reward of a World Series. It would be sweeter for them than almost anyone else.

Mateo as an everyday player who manager Brandon Hyde says is difficult to take out of the lineup. It seemed a foregone conclusion Jackson Holliday, the No. 1 prospect in baseball, would arrive and solidify a role Mateo has instead made his own.

After crushing injury news for John Means and Tyler Wells, Baltimore’s front office must reckon with bolstering their starting rotation. Their deal for the Cy Young-winner should be a guide for how ambitious they should be.

They will not know until they open them up if they will need Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery — a 12 to 18 month recovery timeline — or a different kind of repair.

Paul Mancano and Andy Kostka break down the news that pitchers John Means and Tyler Wells will miss the remainder of the 2024 season. Tune in at 4:35 p.m.

The Orioles have always had the prospect talent to make pretty much any trade they’ve wanted in the last couple years. Elias has said so himself. There might just be more urgency to this year.

In a survey sent to fans this week, the Orioles floated several possible stadium upgrades for the eventual Camden Yards renovation project, including a range of lounges, bars and restaurant options.
