Steve Pearce - DH - Orioles

Orioles purchased the contract of INF/OF Steve Pearce from Triple-A Norfolk.

He's earned the last spot on the Orioles' bench after posting a 1.198 OPS with six home runs and 17 RBI this spring. Pearce should see some DH time against left-handers.

Mar 31 - 9:05 AM

Steve Pearce - DH - Orioles

Steve Pearce has made the Orioles' Opening Day roster.

As expected, the Orioles will go with Pearce over Conor Jackson. The 29-year-old should serve as a right-handed bat off the bench after posting a 1.198 OPS with six home runs and 17 RBI this spring.

Mar 30 - 2:59 PM

Steve Pearce - DH - Orioles

Steve Pearce popped his fifth homer of the spring Friday against the Rays.

Pearce leads the Orioles in homers, RBI (13) and OPS (1.370) this spring as he attempts to win a spot as a righty off the bench. It's not like he could do anything more.

Mar 22 - 4:31 PM

Steve Pearce - DH - Orioles

Steve Pearce hit a pair of homers Tuesday as the Orioles and Blue Jays played to a 6-6 tie in 10 innings.

Pearce has just 11 at-bats this spring, but he's made the most of them, collecting three homers, a double and two singles. He's likely battling Conor Jackson (who also hit his third homer today), Russ Canzler and Danny Valencia for one spot on Baltimore's bench.

Mar 5 - 4:52 PM

Steve Pearce - DH - Orioles

Steve Pearce went 2-for-3 and knocked in three runs Wednesday in the Orioles' 10-7 victory over the Yankees.

The Orioles have assembled quite a list of bench candidates, having picked up Danny Valencia, Conor Jackson, Russ Canzler, Chris Dickerson, Travis Ishikawa and Trayvon Robinson over the winter. Pearce is one of the players with a shot of making the team as a right-handed caddy for Chris Davis and Wilson Betemit, but since he's not on the 40-man, he seems more likely to start off in Triple-A.

Feb 27 - 5:15 PM

Steve Pearce - DH - Orioles

Orioles sent INF/OF Steve Pearce outright to Triple-A Norfolk.

Pearce bounced around to multiple organizations in 2012, batting .239/.328/.377 with four homers over 188 plate appearances. He'll receive an invite to spring training.

Fri, Dec 21, 2012 03:04:00 PM

Steve Pearce - DH - Orioles

Orioles and OF Steven Pearce avoided arbitration by agreeing to a contract.

Terms of the deal have not yet been disclosed. Pearce was claimed off waivers from the Yankees in September and will compete for a reserve role in spring training.

Fri, Nov 30, 2012 08:04:00 PM

Steve Pearce - DH - Orioles

Orioles claimed OF Steve Pearce off waivers from the Yankees.

It's the sixth time Pearce has been claimed off waivers this year, and he won't be eligible for the postseason roster. Oliver Drake was recalled from Double-A Bowie and placed him on the 60-day disabled list to complete the move.

Sat, Sep 29, 2012 02:51:00 PM

Steve Pearce - DH - Orioles

Yankees designated OF Steve Pearce for assignment.

Pearce went 4-for-25 (.160) in 12 games with the Yanks after being acquired from the Astros in late August.

Tue, Sep 25, 2012 04:55:00 PM

Steve Pearce - DH - Orioles

Steve Pearce will serve as the DH and bat cleanup in his Yankees' debut on Wednesday against the Blue Jays.

Well, there's something we didn't expect to see in late August. However, Yankees manager Joe Girardi is playing the matchups with Mark Teixeira (calf) and Alex Rodriguez (hand) on the shelf and left-hander Ricky Romero on the hill for Toronto. Pearce could have some fleeting value in AL-only formats.

Steve Pearce - DH - Orioles

Yankees acquired OF Steve Pearce from the Astros for cash considerations.

Pearce, a right-handed hitter, is batting .275/.345/.490 against left-handed pitchers this season. He'll serve as a pinch-hitter and backup outfielder for the Yankees over the final five weeks of the regular season.

Mon, Aug 27, 2012 01:36:00 PM

Steve Pearce - DH - Orioles

According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, the Yankees are close to acquiring Steve Pearce.

Pearce will serve as a right-handed bench bat down the stretch for the Bombers if the wavier trade goes through. He is hitting .254/.333/.396 with three home runs and 22 RBI in 49 games played this season for Houston. The Giants had also expressed some interest in him.

Steve Pearce - DH - Orioles

ESPN's Buster Olney reports Steve Pearce is drawing trade interest from the Giants.

The Giants need outfield depth with Melky Cabrera (suspension) out for the remainder of the season. If acquired, Pearce would presumably function in a left field platoon with Gregor Blanco.

Steve Pearce - DH - Orioles

Astros claimed OF Steve Pearce off waivers from the Orioles.

Pearce was designated for assignment by the O's last Saturday. The 29-year-old outfielder hit .254/.321/.437 with three homers and 14 RBI in 28 games with Baltimore. He's been added to the big league roster.

Depth Charts

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Matt Wieters
	2	Taylor Teagarden D.L. Taylor Teagarden (thumb) will start a hitting and catching program on Monday. Teagarden had the splint removed from his dislocated left thumb on Friday and is ready to begin baseball activities. He should be ready to return late this month or early next month. May 19
	3	Chris Snyder
1B	1	Chris Davis
2B	1	Brian Roberts D.L. Brian Roberts (knee) will have the sutures removed from his right leg on Monday. They were supposed to be removed on Friday, but Roberts wasn't sufficiently healed at that time. The second baseman is coming back from surgery to repair a ruptured tendon in the back of his right knee and will be out for at least the next six weeks or so. May 19
	2	Alexi Casilla
	3	Yamaico Navarro
SS	1	J.J. Hardy
3B	1	Manny Machado
	2	Danny Valencia
LF	1	Nate McLouth
CF	1	Adam Jones
RF	1	Nick Markakis
	2	Chris Dickerson
DH	1	Wilson Betemit D.L. Wilson Betemit (knee) began jogging in a pool on Friday. It's been very slow progress for Betemit in his recovery from surgery to repair a PCL tear in his right knee. He still has yet to be cleared to resume baseball activities, and the timetable for his return continues to be pushed back. He's virtually irrelevant for fantasy purposes at this point. May 17
	2	Nolan Reimold D.L. Orioles placed OF Nolan Reimold on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 12, with a right hamstring strain. It's the reason why Reimold was held out of the Orioles' lineup for the fifth straight day Saturday. Chris Dickerson will likely get the majority of starts at designated hitter in his absence. Given his injury history, Reimold could be looking at an extended stay on the DL. May 18
	3	Steve Pearce
Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	Jason Hammel
	2	Wei-Yin Chen D.L. Wei-Yin Chen (oblique) will head to the Orioles' spring training complex Tuesday to begin his rehab. Chen landed on the 15-day disabled list May 13 with a strained right oblique and can't pick up a baseball for at least another week. But he's allowed to do cardio work while he waits. The right-hander should be ready to rejoin the O's starting rotation in early June. May 20
	3	Miguel Gonzalez D.L. Miguel Gonzalez (thumb) is expected to be activated to start Tuesday against the Yankees. Gonzalez was cleared to return after he threw a simulated game Friday with no issues. The 29-year-old has been sidelined since May 4 with a blister on his right thumb. He has a 4.58 ERA and 22/14 K/BB ratio in 35 1/3 innings in six starts this season. May 17
	4	Chris Tillman
	5	Freddy Garcia
	6	Tsuyoshi Wada D.L. Tsuyoshi Wada (elbow) allowed four runs over four innings Thursday in a rehab start at Triple-A Norfolk. Wada gave up three hits and issued two walks but he fanned five batters and made it all the way to 78 pitches (45 of which were strikes). He's on his way back from Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery and is aiming to join the Orioles' starting rotation at some point in early-to-mind June. The left-hander signed a two-year, $8.15 million contract with the O's in December 2011 but has not yet thrown a pitch in a major league game. May 16
	7	Jair Jurrjens
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Jim Johnson
	2	Pedro Strop
	3	Darren O'Day
	4	Brian Matusz
	5	Troy Patton
	6	Tommy Hunter
	7	T.J. McFarland
	8	Jake Arrieta
