The Orioles’ 2026 Spring Training schedule:

Craig Albernaz made a "6-7" joke. He quipped about his 5-foot-8 stature. His family -- especially his 2-year-old daughter Gigi -- stole the show. As Albernaz spoke, it became quite clear why the Orioles picked their new manager -- and why he picked them: www.mlb.com/orioles/news...

RHP Andrew Kittredge was traded from Orioles to Cubs on July 31, one of the moves made during the O's Trade Deadline selloff. The 35-year-old had a 3.40 ERA in 54 appearances in '25. Kittredge's contract signed with O's last offseason featured $9 million team option for '26.

Orioles' Craig Albernaz: "We have to be a diverse offense. We have to do the little things right. When guys are struggling or going through a little rut, you have to find a way to keep the line moving and be productive for your team. ... That’s something we’re going to preach."

2,477 games, 0 no-hitters in 2025. The Orioles, of course, played a large role in that, ending Dodgers RHP Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s Sept. 6 bid at Camden Yards with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th inning (and then rallying for a 4-3 walk-off win).

Enrique Bradfield Jr. with another nice jump catch to rob Kevin McGonigle of extra bases in right-center this afternoon. Bradfield's speed and glove are as good as they come in this year's Fall League. The defense alone should get him CF looks in Baltimore in 2026.

Adley Rutschman’s production dipped in 2nd half of ‘24, then again during an injury-filled ‘25. But the Orioles remain confident in their 2-time All-Star catcher. “Frustrating season. … He’s aware of it. We're all aware of it. We're all working on it.” www.mlb.com/orioles/news...

#Orioles RHP Albert Suárez sustained a mild forearm flexor strain. He's continuing to rehab, expected to begin a throwing progression in coming weeks.

The Blue Jays win and are heading to the ALCS for the 1st time since 2016. Toronto used a bullpen game to navigate its series-clinching Game 4 victory. The winning pitcher? Former Orioles RHP Seranthony Domínguez.

I’ll either be taking a plane back to Toronto or a train home to Baltimore tomorrow morning. Let’s see which it will be. ALDS Game 4 between the Blue Jays and the Yankees on deck in the Bronx.

Been quite a day for #Orioles prospects in the desert. OF Thomas Sosa and C Ethan Anderson each hit 1st homers of the Arizona Fall League season, while LHP Luis De León (O's No. 21 per MLB Pipeline) struck out 7 & allowed 1 unearned run in 4 IP. Here's Sosa's homer (with Anderson's homer below):

NEW YORK — Time for October baseball in the Bronx. Blue Jays look to punch their ticket to the ALCS. Yankees aiming to extend their season. Game 3 of the ALDS on tap here at Yankee Stadium.

Who will be the Orioles' manager in 2026? Will there be a new GM? What roster additions will need to be made? What's the future look like for Ryan Mountcastle? Those are among the questions facing the O's early in what will be a critical offseason: www.mlb.com/orioles/news...

Seranthony Domínguez struck out Anthony Volpe looking and got Austin Wells to ground out to 1st base to end the inning and protect the Blue Jays' 2-1 lead over Yankees heading to bottom of 7th.

Seranthony Domínguez began this season in the #Orioles' bullpen. The 30-year-old RHP is now entering Game 1 of the ALDS for the Blue Jays looking to protect a 2-1 lead over the Yankees with a runner on 1st and 1 out in the top of the 7th inning.

Blue Jays-Yankees ALDS Game 1, featuring former Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander playing in the postseason for the 3rd consecutive year.

The AL East is always filled with dogfights. The ALDS between Blue Jays & Yankees -- the 1st postseason meeting of these foes -- should be the same. "They want to get after us, we want to get after them. There’s probably a little bit of added something." www.mlb.com/news/yankees...

TORONTO — ALDS Eve for the Blue Jays and Yankees at Rogers Centre.
