Pitchers |
|
|
Brad Brach |
 |
Somewhat below average for the week - two earned runs charged to him in 2.1 IP, although only one came with him actually in the game. |
Zach Britton |
 |
Victimized by another infield single and an error behind him, although this time not in a save situation. Did record his 30th save earlier in the week, however. |
Wei-Yin Chen |
 |
He's giving up a ton of hits (8-7-10 in his last three starts), but he's posted four straight quality starts. Improved to 8-6 with a win against the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday. |
Jason Garcia |
 |
Faced two batters all week and threw just eight pitches. |
Kevin Gausman |
 |
Couldn't master the Texas Rangers lineup and allowed two home runs among 9 hits and 4 ER in 6.2 innings. Maintaining decent strikeout numbers and had several quality starts in August, but seven homers allowed in a month is dangerous. |
Mychal Givens |
 |
Allowed an inherited runner to score (charged to Jimenez), but was more or less fine in 2.2 innings. |
Miguel Gonzalez |
 |
A two-start week for Migo, yet he didn't top 10 total innings. Not surprisingly, he lost both starts and is now 9-11 for the year. |
Ubaldo Jimenz |
 |
A two-start week for Jimenez as well, and although he topped 10 innings, may have fared worse than Gonzalez. Eleven ER on eighteen hits....ouch. Jimenez suffered losses in both starts to bring his record to an even 9-9. |
Brian Matusz |
 |
Luckily, the homer he allowed to Mike Moustakas on Wednesday did not cost the O's the game. |
T.J. McFarland |
 |
After struggling in mop-up duty a week ago, TJ responded with a solid week including three innings of relief and just one hit allowed. |
Darren O'Day |
 |
Sadly, not a whole lot of use for the set-up guy this week. |
Jorge Rondon |
 |
Allowed a run in four innings of relief, but back at AAA Norfolk for now. |
Chris Tillman |
 |
Line for the week pretty similar to Gausman's - okay, but not good enough to get the Orioles a win. Charged with the loss and fell to 9-9 after 4 runs on 9 hits in 6 IP. |
Catchers |
|
|
Steve Clevenger |
 |
On paternity leave for most of the week, so just 1-3. |
Caleb Joseph |
 |
Still decent over the month of August, but slumping over the past two. After a 2-16 last week, Joseph was just 4-17 this go around. Included a double and two RBI. |
Matt Wieters |
 |
Limited production from the catcher spot continues to Wieters - just 3-20 (all singles) with two walks. |
Infielders |
|
|
Chris Davis |
 |
Oriole bats mostly silent in Texas - Davis was no different at just 4-25 this week. Did have a two-run homer earlier in the week against Johnny Cueto, however. |
Ryan Flaherty |
 |
Quite possibly his best week of the year at 3-12 with two homers. It's an up arrow week for him, but yes, grasping at straws here to find something decent over a rough week. |
Paul Janish |
 |
Flashed some leather and picked up some hits - his first in the majors since 2013. |
Manny Machado |
 |
Also made some nice plays in the field, but was just dismal at the plate. Started the week with a few hits against KC, but was almost silent (sans two walks) against Texas. |
Jimmy Paredes |
 |
1-4. No real position and a cold bat = no playing time. |
Steve Pearce |
 |
Returned from the DL with two homers and a couple of walks, which is great, but was otherwise mediocre. OF error didn't really factor into Sunday's loss, but still hurts. |
Jonathan Schoop |
 |
Grasping at straws again....usually a .237 week wouldn't achieve an even rating, but his six hits and three RBI were about as good as it got. |
Outfielders |
|
|
Dariel Alvarez |
 |
The 26-year old Cuban recorded his first three MLB hits this week. |
Adam Jones |
 |
Rough week at the plate, but returned to the lineup a day after hitting the outfield wall...well...hard. |
Gerardo Parra |
 |
Yet another Oriole with a sub-.200 showing this week. |
Nolan Reimold |
 |
DFA'd and assigned to AAA Norfolk. |
Henry Urrutia |
 |
Re-assigned to AAA Norfolk. |
Disabled List |
|
|
J.J. Hardy |
 |
(Groin) - First eligible to come off of the DL on September 8th. The O's hope he can still make the date. |
Chaz Roe |
 |
(Shoulder) - Expected to pitch for AA Bowie tonight before activation from the DL on Wednesday. |
Mike Wright |
 |
(Calf) - Assigned to AAA Norfolk for his rehab assignment. |
