Checking on in-house alternatives for Orioles starters

SCROLL DOWN TO READ ARTICLE The Orioles hope that Zach Eflin’s right shoulder fatigue isn’t something serious. Eflin exited Monday night’s 5-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks after throwing just 73 pitches in six innings. Eflin who was acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays last July 26th, spent 15 days on the injured list last August with right shoulder inflammation, and if he must go on the IL, the Orioles are hopeful it won’t be a long stay.

SCROLL DOWN TO READ ARTICLE Question: I think no manager cares for his players well-being and knows the breadth of their skill set better than Brandon Hyde. These attributes enabled him to lead an Oriole rebuild from incompetence to championship-level baseball. But I think these same attributes result in an excessive tinkering with the lineup, diminishing team success. What are the facts? Do the Orioles vary their lineup more than other MLB teams?
Orioles beat Diamondbacks, 5-1, as Eflin leaves with shoulder fatigue after 6

SCROLL DOWN TO READ ARTICLE What happened? Zach Eflin pitched six strong innings, allowing one run on four hits, throwing 73 pitches before leaving the game with right shoulder fatigue. The Orioles’ 5-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field on Monday night was perhaps the team’s most complete game of the season. Gunnar Henderson had two hits, scored two runs and stole two bases in his fourth start, but Eflin leaving the game early spoiled the win.

SCROLL DOWN TO READ ARTICLE The Orioles acquired left-handed pitcher Grant Wolfram from the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for minor league outfielder Daz Cameron and cash considerations on Monday. The 6-foot-7, 28-year-old Wolfram began the season at Triple-A Nashville, where he allowed two runs and a hit in three innings for a 3.00 ERA.
Mateo's fit on the 2025 Orioles is a puzzle

SCROLL DOWN TO READ ARTICLE Last November, when Orioles executive vice president/general manager Mike Elias unexpectedly announced in a Zoom call that the left-field wall would be brought closer to home plate for this season, he also offered an unexpected and unprompted endorsement of Jorge Mateo. “I think he was an underrated absence for us in the second half,” Elias said. “He had a reconstructive elbow surgery.

SCROLL DOWN TO READ ARTICLE Question: I just watched the O’s drop the rubber game to Kansas City, 4-1. It seems to me that after 10 games if the team doesn’t have some kind of early-game success everyone deflates, the wind comes out of the sails and the result is six losses. I know it’s early in the season and some guys are just getting up to speed (Mateo and Henderson), but it just seems the energy is gone once there’s a little bit of a hole to dig out of. What say you?
Orioles need more from their starting pitchers

SCROLL DOWN TO READ ARTICLE In their first 10 games, the Orioles have just two quality starts, and both were by Zach Eflin, who will start Monday night’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field. Eflin allowed two runs on two hits in six innings against Toronto on March 27th in the Orioles’ opener, a 12-2 win. In his second start, Eflin gave up three runs on eight hits in six innings on April 2nd in a 3-0 loss to Garrett Crochet and the Red Sox.
Poor defense, lack of offense equals a 4-1 Orioles loss to Royals

SCROLL DOWN TO READ ARTICLE What happened? Cade Povich allowed four runs on 12 hits in six innings as the Orioles lost to the Kansas City Royals 4-1 on Sunday at Kauffman Stadium. The Orioles (4-6) lost two of three to the Royals (4-5). They’ve yet to win a series. Manager Brandon Hyde started a right-handed heavy lineup against Kansas City left-hander Kris Bubic (1-0), and it included Jorge Mateo playing center field.
Observations on what we've seen from the Orioles

2 weeks ago | baltimorebaseball.com | Rich Dubroff

SCROLL DOWN TO READ ARTICLE The Orioles are 4-5 in their first nine games, and there really aren’t many conclusions about the first few games to be drawn. They hit six home runs in their first game, 10 in the first three, and just one since then. They haven’t played a one-run game. There hasn’t been a save situation. Yennier Cano and Félix Bautista have pitched just twice, and manager Brandon Hyde was unwilling to insert them in a game with a seven-run lead on Saturday simply to get them work.
