Yuck. Wonder when it happened?

  Supposedly covering first on Wednesday.

Ok. Missed that. Damn. Almost hoped it explained some of his recent woes.

That does suck but we have pretty good back end depth. Hopefully it's not something that lingers.

Baltimore Sun: Orioles reliever Darren O'Day's recovery coming along slower than expected

Bummer, we need him and Worley back soon.  All the fill-ins aside from Despaigne have been pretty bad.

[DuffMan]

This has really dragged out,  I hope he's 100% after the all star break.

The Orioles could get back an important bullpen piece by activating Darren O’Day from the disabled list. His right leg is much better and he’s throwing bullpen sessions.

“If we get him back on the mound tomorrow again, then we may have a baseball decision to make, so that’s encouraging,” Showalter said. “He did a lot of stuff today covering first, moving around, so we’ll see. If he does that tomorrow and feels good on Sunday, then we’ll start moving that. Then we get into sim games, rehab starts.

“We’re going to take one step at a time, obviously, but that’s what’s next is whether. ‘OK, do we do a sim or do we go right to rehab? Does he even need rehab? Can he just go off a couple sim games?’ We’re not talking about a guy who’s going to pitch four or five innings.”

ODay could be activated Sunday or Monday. Buck will ease him back into role #orioles

Baltimore Sun:  O'Day... .
http://www.baltimore...0723-story.html

 

Orioles reliever Darren O’Day said he hopes Friday’s rehabilitation outing at Double-A Bowie is the last one he’ll have to make as his absence from a high hamstring strain suffered in May stretches into its eighth week.
 
“I think my delivery is in a good place,” O’Day said Saturday, a day after he threw 16 pitches in a scoreless inning while striking out two and allowing one hit. “I was making a lot of good pitches and everything was moving like it should. Hopefully, I’m back in the next couple of days.”
 
O’Day reported nothing but positives about the outing in Bowie, save for the jersey, which was a tribute to the late musician David Bowie.
 
“Wore a pretty bad jersey — probably the worst jersey I’ve ever worn," he said. "But the outing was good, I felt good. I got to execute most of my pitches. It felt good to get back out there. I had a base runner, so that was good — I’ve got to remember what that’s like, pitching with guys on base, working through counts. It was altogether positive.”

Manager Buck Showalter said the decision of when to activate O'Day would be a “baseball thing” with options being activating O'Day ON Sunday, or letting him throw another rehab outing before being activated Monday. A decision on that was expected Saturday evening, Showalter said.
 
O’Day, who signed a four-year, $31 million contract this offseason, had made 22 appearances before the injury, with five home runs allowed in 20 innings causing his ERA to rise to 3.15 right before he went on the disabled list.
 
His return is seen as a boon to an Orioles bullpen that has struggled at times to deal with the consistently short starts turned in by the team’s beleaguered starting rotation.

Really nice to have him back. It really does tighten up the back end of the bullpen.

Per Thorne / MASN...

O'Day back in Baltimore getting his shoulder looked at....  apparently tendinitis.

Before anybody freaks out, when you pitch for a living, bouts of tendonitis are a fairly normal thing... it comes and goes, and good P's cope...

The Orioles DL Darren O'Day (retroactive to 8/12) with a right shoulder rotator cuff strain. Tyler Wilson recalled.

Yikes. Dammit!!

[mweb08]

Big blow. Need Brach and Givens to be great. Probably also need a flukey good performance from one of these not so good relievers.

Swing and a miss

[bnickle]

I said a week or so ago that the BP had me more concerned than the rotation moving forward. Now it definitely does.

[CA-ORIOLE]

Doesnt sound good. Might be Mike Wright BP time.

That probably makes more sense than Wilson.

[mweb08]

It annoys me that we didn't try harder to keep Miller. He'd be such a difference maker for us.
