Chris Dickerson smashed a three-run homer in a losing effort against the Rays on Friday.
After falling behind 12-4 early in the game, Dickerson's bomb off Kyle Farnsworth capped off a six-run eighth inning that pulled the O's to within 12-10. Unfortunately for them, that's as close as they'd come. The veteran outfielder has done a nice job in limited time, hitting .320/.346/.520 with a homer and six RBI in his first 25 at-bats.

Date:

Making his third start in his three weeks with the team, Chris Dickerson went 3-for-5 with two RBI to help the Orioles best the Mariners 7-2 on Tuesday.

It was surprising Dickerson wasn't taken more seriously after the Yankees let him go in January. He was terrific in Triple-A last year, and he's been a perfectly useful part-time outfielder in the majors when healthy. In 525 career at-bats, he's hit .267/.364/.405 with 11 homers and 28 steals. The Orioles don't have much of a role for him with everyone else healthy, but if another outfielder goes down, he'd probably have some value in AL-only leagues.
May 1 - 2:06 AM

Orioles purchased the contract of OF Chris Dickerson from Triple-A Norfolk.

A corresponding move isn't known yet, but it's not expected to involve Nolan Reimold (hamstring). Dickerson will serve as a backup outfielder.
Apr 9 - 11:04 PM

Orioles re-assigned OF Chris Dickerson to minor league camp.

The 30-year-old outfielder actually had a very nice spring showing, hitting .297/.409/.514 with a pair of homers, six RBI and two steals in his 24 games. He'll likely serve as organizational depth at the minor league level, and should see time with the O's in 2013.
Mar 29 - 7:09 PM

Chris Dickerson (ankle) will be available Thursday night.

Dickerson rolled his right ankle Wednesday while trying to track down a fly ball in a Grapefruit League game. He should be healthy for the start of the regular season.
Mar 28 - 2:32 PM

Chris Dickerson is day-to-day after leaving Wednesday night's game with a slight right Achilles strain.

Dickerson was attempting to chase down a fly ball when the strain happened. The 30-year-old outfielder is attempting to make the Orioles as a bench player, and this could obviously hurt his chances.
Mar 27 - 11:02 PM

Chris Dickerson hit a grand slam as part of an eight-run first Sunday in the Orioles' 12-10 defeat of the Pirates.

It came off Chris Leroux. We like Dickerson as a fourth outfielder, but it's hard to see how he fits on the Orioles with Nick Markakis, Adam Jones, Nate McLouth and Nolan Reimold around. He's hitting .303/.410/.455 in 33 at-bats this spring.
Mar 24 - 5:52 PM

Orioles signed OF Chris Dickerson to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Dickerson, who turns 31 in April, batted .286 (4-for-14) with two homers in 25 games with the Yankees last season and is a .266/.352/.407 career hitter in the majors. He could contend for a reserve outfielder job.
Jan 29 - 10:07 AM

Yankees released OF Chris Dickerson.

Dickerson will look to continue his career elsewhere after being designated for assignment last week. He appeared in 25 games with the Yankees in 2012, and should draw interest from other teams on a minor league deal.
Jan 12 - 3:39 PM

Yankees designated OF Chris Dickerson for assignment.

The move clears a spot for the newly-claimed Russ Canzler on the Yankees' active roster. Dickerson, 30, batted .286 (4-for-14) in 25 games with the Yankees in 2012, spending the majority of the year at the Triple-A level. He could draw interest on waivers.
Jan 4 - 5:04 PM

Despite not having had an at-bat in 17 days, Chris Dickerson went 2-for-4 and hit a two-run homer versus the Twins on Wednesday.

Dickerson is 4-for-12 with two homers and three steals in his very limited action for the Yankees this month. He deserves another crack at a fourth-outfielder role, and he may get it next season based on his play in Triple-A this year.
Wed, Sep 26, 2012 04:16:00 PM

Chris Dickerson blasted a two-run homer off Chris Tillman in Sunday’s loss to the Orioles.

He finished the afternoon 1-for-2 plus a walk, and also scored two runs. It was his first action of the season with the Yankees, after hitting .316/.417/.515 with seven homers and 25 RBI in 69 games with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He can be ignored down the stretch for fantasy purposes.
Sun, Sep 2, 2012 04:30:00 PM

Yankees purchased the contract OF Chris Dickerson from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

It's his first promotion since appearing in 60 games with the Yankees last season. Dickerson will be making his 2012 debut if he enters a game.
Sat, Sep 1, 2012 11:18:00 AM

Yankees sent OF Chris Dickerson outright to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

He'll remain in big league camp and compete for a bench spot, but his most likely destination at the start of the season is in the minors. Dickerson batted .321/.367/.393 in 41 games last season for the Yanks.
Sun, Feb 26, 2012 02:52:00 PM

Chris Dickerson will not qualify for Super Two status despite being on the active roster for 91 games in 2011.

It's a veiled blessing for Dickerson who will earn close to the league minimum in 2012 before three years of arbitration. Had he qualified as a Super Two the Yankees would have non-tendered him rather than pay him a low-seven figures salary. The 29-year-old journeyman batted .321/.367/.393 in 41 games this season.
