| Rotation |
|
|
| Jake Arrieta |
 |
Called up because Hammel is sick and will start tonight. Did not pitch last week for Baltimore. |
| Freddy Garcia |
|
Seems to follow up every good start with a bad one. First start was a solid 6 inning effort. In the second start, he failed to make it through 6 and allowed 5 runs in the process. |
| Kevin Gausman |
|
Actually had a halfway decent outing on Thursday night, but was optioned to AAA anyway, making room for Arrieta. |
| Miguel Gonzalez |
 |
Two solid starts has his ERA back down below 4. Over 14.1 innings pitched, MiGo allowed just 4 earned runs (although he struck out just 7 total). |
| Jason Hammel |
|
Wasn't entirely sharp during his Wednesday start vs. the Angels. Allowed 4 earned runs (2 were inherited runners scored), while walking 2 and striking out 1. Not a bad start by any means, but the shorter starts are putting serious pressure on the bullpen. |
| Chris Tillman |
|
Solid 6 innings of 3-hit ball. Only qualm with the start was the lack of efficiency. He required over 100 pitches to get through 6, walking 4 in the process. |
| Bullpen |
|
|
| Tommy Hunter |
|
Continuing his impressive run in the bullpen. Did allow 1 run over 4.2 innings, but has been solid overall with 1.86 ERA (3.89 FIP). |
| Jim Johnson |
|
Only blemish for the week was one trouble spot against Josh Hamilton/Albert Pujols. Those hits were all he allowed in 5 innings of work. |
| Brian Matusz |
 |
Struggled so far in the month of June. |
| T.J. McFarland |
|
A very solid 4.2 innings of work. No inherited runners scored this week! |
| Darren O'Day |
|
Hasn't allowed a run since May 22. |
| Troy Patton |
|
Had some pretty serious struggles for a few weeks, but was much better over this past one (2.1 IP, 0 ER). |
| Pedro Strop |
|
If ever there was a time for Mr. Yuk, this would be it. |
| Lineup |
|
|
| Alexi Casilla |
|
A finger issue left him with almost no playing time this past week. |
| Chris Davis |
|
Oh, you know. Just leading the MLB in homers. No biggie. |
| Chris Dickerson |
|
Not much playing time with 4 healthy outfielders ahead of him, but he's cooled off since that solid few weeks he got in center (replacing an injured Jones). |
| Ryan Flaherty |
|
When is B-Rob supposed to be back again? |
|
J.J. Hardy |
|
Had an explosive road trip, then returned home and was not nearly as good (5-25, 4 BB). |
| Adam Jones |
|
Decent .276, but he had two homers, one of which factored into a close win (which shouldn't have been that close, but that's another story). Had a number of multi-hit games. |
| Manny Machado |
|
Oh, you know. Just leading the MLB in doubles. No biggie. (Also....is this the return of DOUBLES MACHINE?) |
| Nick Markakis |
|
Nick also had a quality week, going 10-33, including a solid 4-5 game yesterday. Apparently Buck likes his defense as well. |
| Nate McLouth |
|
Only a couple of hits, but he did have 4 walks. |
| Steve Pearce |
|
Just 1 for 7 |
| Taylor Teagarden |
|
He can't hit, but his is pretty good at getting border-line strike calls. |
| Danny Valencia |
|
Continues to hit through limited playing time. |
| Matt Wieters |
|
Not as good at getting border-line strike calls. Oh, and he's not really hitting that well either. Hmm....that's not good.... |
| Disabled List |
|
|
| Wilson Betemit |
 |
No update from last week. Still on target to return following the ASG. |
| Wei-Yin Chen |
|
Threw off of a mound with no pain. Could make his return soon. |
| Steve Johnson |
|
Has noted "minor improvement" to his strained oblique. |
| Nolan Reimold |
|
Headed to AA Bowie tomorrow to start his rehab assignment. |
| Brian Roberts |
|
Resumed hitting over the weekend. Targeting a second-half return. |
