Michael Griffin - RotoBaller

I'm a writer living in New York with my wife, son and two crazy cats. I went to my first baseball game at the age of four and have been a fan since.

Austin Hays and Chris Lee Both Due To Have MRIs On Wednesday Morning

Both Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays (lat) and pitcher Chris Lee (lat) are going to have MRIs on Wednesday morning, according to MASN reporter Roch Kubatko. Hays and Lee both have been dealing with lat issues, and perhaps the MRIs will dictate what happens next. Disabled list stints to open the season may be looming.


Mike Foltynewicz Uses Simpler Delivery To Get Good Results In First Spring Start

Atlanta Braves starter Mike Foltynewicz wanted to quiet down his delivery and make it smoother. It's all about the rhythm and tempo, and he tried to utilize that on Tuesday. It got him two hitless and scoreless innings, though he did walk two. If he can show the form that nearly had him throw a […]


Hunter Harvey Pitches Well In Debut But Wants To Work On Command

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Hunter Harvey hasn't made the big leagues yet, mostly due to injuries, including Tommy John surgery. He finally made it in a spring start on Tuesday, going two innings and striking out three. He's got a ways to go to make the team in the regular season, but the 23-year-old said […]


Craig Gentry Only Expects To Miss A Few More Days

According to Roch Kubatko of MASN, Baltimore Orioles outfielder Craig Gentry (hamstring) will only be out a few more days before resuming baseball activities. He said that his hamstring is much better. Gentry is hoping to make the team as a reserve outfielder and will only play a lot if a regular gets hurt and misses […]


Aaron Blair Ready To Pitch For First Time On Wednesday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Aaron Blair is going to toe the rubber for the first time this Spring. Blair, who is a dark-horse candidate to make the team in the No. 5 spot, has been the victim of a glut of pitchers in camp. He hasn't had much success the past two years, but apparently […]


Austin Hays Will DH In Tuesday's Game

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays (arm, lat), who was originally slated to play right field on Tuesday, will be the designated hitter. The purpose is for him to rest his sore arm/lat muscle for one more day. He should resume regular game duties on Wednesday.


Miguel Castro Passes Bullpen Test, Will Throw B Game Friday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Miguel Castro (knees) passed another test on Tuesday, throwing a good bullpen session. He's been battling knee tendinitis. The next step is for him to throw in a B game on Friday. The right-hander has to be happy that things are progressing for him. He's got a bit of catching up to […]


Chris Tillman Should Be Making Spring Training Debut Soon

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Chris Tillman is getting closer to making his 2018 spring training debut. Roch Kubatko of MASN tweeted that the righty had a "good work day." Tillman joined the team after a long winter of free-agent dormancy. He's going to be the No. 3 starter behind Kevin Gausman and Dylan Bundy. The […]


Freddie Freeman Collects Hit In First Spring Training Action

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman is batting .500 so far this Spring. Then again, he's only had two at-bats. Freeman went 1-for-2 in Monday's win over the Washington Nationals. There's not much to say about him -- he's a high-round pick who can hit well over 30 homers if he stays healthy. That's all […]


Julio Teheran Throws Two Scoreless Innings In First Spring Start

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Julio Teheran is still the ace of the pitching staff despite horrible results at home in 2017 and he showed that on Monday, going two innings. He gave up no runs while giving up two hits and working around two walks. Sometimes an ace has to work around not having dominating […]


Jonathan Schoop Connects For Homer In Loss

Remember when we were worried about Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop missing a game because of bursitis in his left elbow? Pfft. It looks like it was all for nothing. Schoop had the elbow drained and he's looking healthy, hitting a three-run jack in the fourth inning of Monday's 8-6 loss to the Tigers. […]


Trey Mancini Goes Deep For First Homer Of Spring in Loss

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Trey Mancini is looking to build on a solid first year. He's likely aiming to build on the stats from the previous year and power is one of those numbers. He connected for his first long ball of the Spring on Monday. It was a solo shot off Tigers starter Michael Fulmer and […]


Injured Kevin Gausman Looks To Make Next Start

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Kevin Gausman (eye) met the media during Monday's spring training game. He'd left earlier in the day after colliding with Tigers third base prospect Jeimer Candelario while backing up a play at the plate. Gausman told the media that he "felt like he'd been in a bar fight" and that he thought he […]


Kevin Gausman Leaves Game After Collision

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Kevin Gausman (head) was injured after he collided with Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario during his spring start Monday. Gausman was backing up a throw to home after a Leonys Martin single. He apparently hit his head and was taken out after undergoing the concussion protocol. Gausman is seen as one of the […]


Craig Gentry Dealing With Left Hamstring Soreness

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Craig Gentry has soreness in his left hamstring and will miss a few games, according to Brittany Ghiroli of MLB.com. Gentry, who is really not a fantasy factor unless all the regular Orioles outfielders got hurt or fell into a sinkhole, is in camp on a Minor League deal as insurance. Only […]


Miguel Castro Slated To Throw "B" Game Friday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Miguel Castro (knees) is going to throw a "B" game on Friday. He'd been complaining of tendinitis in both of his knees. Castro is slated to be the No. 5 starter on the team right now, according to the MLB.com depth chart. It depends on how starters Andrew Cashner and Gabriel Ynoa do. […]


Gabriel Ynoa Gives Up Run In Loss To Red Sox

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Gabriel Ynoa is in a much better spot than about a week or so ago. He's likely to be the team's No. 4 starter, which was radically different than before the team brought Chris Tillman and Andrew Cashner aboard. While this Kevin Gausman/ Dylan Bundy/Tillman/Ynoa (or Cashner) rotation might not remind […]


Austin Hays Goes Hitless In First Spring Training Action In Loss To Boston

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays finally stepped into the batter's box after missing the past couple of games due to a sore lat. He went hitless with a walk as the designated hitter. He's considered a top prospect, so he'll get every chance to play his way onto the team. Hold off and see how […]


Scott Kazmir Tosses Scoreless Frame In Loss To Nationals

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Scott Kazmir is hoping to make the team as a dark-horse candidate. He's no longer the fireballer of years past, but he'd be a solid veteran addition to the rotation. He's among several candidates vying for the No. 5 spot. Kazmir helped his cause on Sunday, going an inning and while […]


Dansby Swanson Goes Deep In Loss To Nationals

Well, there was one encouraging sign for Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson: He went deep off one of the best pitchers in the game, Max Scherzer. The blast, which came in the first inning, was a solo shot and was Swanson's only hit of the day. He's off to a bit of a slow start, hitting […]


Manny Machado Collects Two Hits In Saturday's Tie Against Twins

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Manny Machado, who will be the subject of many trade rumors leading up to his impending free agency after this season, is already off to a fine start. He had two hits on Saturday night, a single and a double. The Orioles played the Twins to a 1-1 tie after nine […]


Jonathan Schoop Goes Hitless In First Spring Training Game

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop (elbow) may have gone 0-for-3 in Saturday night's 1-1 tie with the Twins, but manager Buck Showalter must have been thrilled that he was able to even put him in the lineup. Schoop had missed the opener with bursitis in his left elbow. He's a durable second baseman and hopefully […]


Ozhaino Albies Collects Hit In First Spring Training Action Of 2018

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozhaino Albies, called Ozzie by many, is seen by the organization as possibly being a vital cog in the team's future lineups. He's got speed and some power, both of which could make him a valuable fantasy asset. Albies collected a hit in his first spring training game. He's not in […]


Chance Sisco Gets Off To Good Start With Three-Run Blast

Baltimore Orioles catcher Chance Sisco wants to grab the backup position to Caleb Joseph based on the merits of his play. He surely got some attention with his first Grapefruit League action, hitting a three-run homer for all of Baltimore's scoring as they lost, 6-3. Yes, it's only the first game, but he might be […]


Jonathan Schoop Day-To-Day With Left Elbow Bursitis

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop (elbow) was scratched from the Feb. 23 spring training opener due to bursitis in his left elbow. According to Rich Dubroff of PressBoxOnline, Schoop banged it on something. If this turns into something worse, it's terrible news for fantasy owners since Schoop is a top-10 second baseman. His 32 homers […]


Andrew Susac To Be Released From Hospital

Baltimore Orioles catcher Andrew Susac will be released from the hospital after battling a staph infection. Rich Dubroff of PressBoxOnline said that he was going to be staying at home for a few days. From a fantasy standpoint, the 27-year-old Susac might lose a few days in his battle with Chance Sisco for the backup […]


Chris Davis Looking To Clear Head With Strong Spring Training

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis told beat writer Brittany Ghiroli that his 2017 offensive struggles were all in his head. He also said that he's going to be treating his spring training at-bats like they are regular season ones. Here's hoping that he does pull that off, but putting pressure like that on himself has […]

Week 24 Waiver Wire - Catcher

Hi, everyone. We're now in the last frantic stretch of the regular season . Depending on your league settings, you may be in the playoffs or trying to save your first-place standing. Those who in the playoffs are probably well set in the catcher department. Still, we're going to help you all that we can. […]

Week 22 Waiver Wire - Catcher

OK. Wasn't it just June? There was still plenty of time for some catchers to right their ships after rough Aprils and Mays. Is it almost Labor Day and have kids already started having to worry about bedtimes because of school nights? Yes, the calendar is almost ready to flip to September and another season […]

Week 20 Waiver Wire: Catchers

Baseball's a rough sport, especially for catchers. They are constantly being dinged by foul balls, they have to squat for nearly three hours a game, and catching those pitches have to be hard on the hands. So, it's no surprise that they may be hurt a little more than other players. Still, sometimes when I […]
