McLouth was hitting .226/.344/.264 in 53 at-bats for the month entering the day. But even though he hasn't hit for average since April, he's still drawing walks and stealing bases. While McLouth, with 24, is seven steals behind Jacoby Ellsbury for the AL lead, he has eight more than anyone else in the circuit. Jun 19 - 4:44 PM

Nate McLouth - OF - Orioles

Nate McLouth went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases, his 20th and 21st of the year, as the Orioles beat the Astros on Tuesday.

McLouth is now tied with Jacoby Ellsbury for the American League lead in stolen bases at 21, and he's only been caught one time on the year. His high for a season is 23 in 2008 with the Pirates, but he's almost certainly going to top that number this season. Oh, and he's also hitting a tidy .296/.370/.429 on the year to boot.

Nate McLouth went 2-for-4 with a walk in Saturday's victory against the Blue Jays.

The 32-year-old is thriving atop Baltimore's potent lineup, posting a .285/.365/.437 slash line and leading the American League with 15 steals. He's also sixth with 34 runs scored. Between 2010-2012, McLouth often looked dead in the water, batting an anemic .221/.320/.346 line over 255 games. McLouth hasn't played this well since 2008, when he was a 26-year-old All-Star for the Pirates.

Nate McLouth went 2-for-6 with two runs scored Friday against the Twins.

McLouth doubled and scored in a game-tying rally in the seventh and singled and scored when the Orioles finally went ahead in the 10th. The 32-year-old has thrived at the top of Baltimore's powerful lineup this season, scoring 28 runs in 31 games. Only Detroit's Austin Jackson (33 runs) has more.

Nate McLouth is not in the lineup Friday against the Angels.

McLouth has been on an absolute tear to begin the season, hitting .333/.431/.517 with three homers, 10 RBI and eight stolen bases, but Orioles' manager Buck Showalter isn't ready to trust him against southpaws. Nolan Reimold is starting in left field Friday with Jason Vargas on the hill for the Angels. Meanwhile, Steve Pearce will serve as the DH.

Nate McLouth went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in Thursday's win over the Angels.

McLouth owes an assist to Mike Trout, who had the ball deflect off his glove and over the center field fence. The 31-year-old is now hitting .333/.431/.517 with three home runs, seven doubles, 10 RBI, eight stolen bases and 23 runs scored in 25 games this season. Who knows how long it will last, but he should be owned in all fantasy formats.

Nate McLouth doubled and scored four runs in Sunday's loss to Oakland.

McLouth has now reached base in 22 of his last 36 plate appearances. He entered the game fifth in the AL in on-base percentage (.434), sixth in walks (14), and is tied with Coco Crisp for second in the majors with eight stolen bases. McLouth will come back down to earth eventually, but he's off to an impressive start. He finished 4-for-5 in the Orioles' extra-innings loss.

Nate McLouth - OF - Orioles

Nate McLouth went 2-for-5 with two RBI, two stolen bases, two runs scored and a walk in Thursday's win over the Athletics.

Not a bad way to fill up the box score. McLouth sparked a three-run third inning with an RBI single and later drove in a run on a fielder's choice in the sixth inning. Some dismissed him as a small sample size success story last season, but the 31-year-old is hitting .302 (19-for-63) in 19 games and is currently tied with Coco Crisp for second in the majors with seven stolen bases. He should be owned in deeper mixed leagues.

Nate McLouth went 2-for-3 with a double, two walks, a steal and three runs scored Wednesday versus the Blue Jays.

McLouth is without a homer in 58 at-bats and he's driven in just two runs, but he's done a terrific job getting on base with his .293 average and 13 walks. He's also up to five steals now.
Apr 24 - 4:08 PM
Nate McLouth - OF - Orioles

Nate McLouth will bat leadoff Tuesday for the third straight game.

Markakis has made three starts out of the leadoff spot this season, but Orioles manager Buck Showalter has seemingly settled on him as his primary No. 3 hitter. McLouth is hitting .263/.349/.342 with three doubles, one RBI, two stolen bases and six runs scored in 10 games this season and might be able to carve out some value in deeper mixed leagues.

Nate McLouth - OF - Orioles

Nate McLouth hit a pair of homers Saturday to lead the Mets to a 7-1 win over the Orioles.

We were hoping Nolan Reimold would overtake McLouth as the Orioles' primary left fielder, but with Wilson Betemit down, there's room for both in the lineup. McLouth ends the spring with a .320 average, four homers and three steals in 50 at-bats. We're not especially optimistic, but maybe he'll surprise again.

Nate McLouth - OF - Orioles

Nate McLouth went 0-for-3 from the leadoff spot on Saturday, leaving him with a .216 average this spring.

McLouth was quite an asset in 55 games for the Orioles last season, but also quite a liability for the Braves and Pirates the 2 1/2 seasons prior. The Orioles will likely have McLouth and Nolan Reimold share left field early on this season, but it might be for the best if Reimold wins the everyday job at some point.

Nate McLouth - OF - Orioles

Orioles re-signed OF Nate McLouth to a one-year, $2 million contract.

McLouth could earn an additional $500,000 in possible incentives. The 31-year-old outfielder was a surprising contributor down the stretch for the Orioles in 2012, batting .268/.342/.435 with seven homers, 18 RBI and 12 stolen bases in 55 games. He projects to share playing time with Nolan Reimold in left field next season and could have value in five-outfielder mixed fantasy leagues.

Nate McLouth - OF - Orioles

Brittany Ghiroli of MLB.com reports that the Orioles and Nate McLouth have agreed to a one-year deal.

Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com hears that he'll get a $2 million base salary while the contract includes $500,000 in possible incentives. McLouth batted .268/.342/.435 with seven homers, 18 RBI and 12 stolen bases in 55 games down the stretch and played well during the team's postseason run, but he's a bit of a wild card coming off such a small sample. However, the O's at least managed to stay away from committing multiple years.

Nate McLouth - OF - Orioles

Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun reports that the Orioles are closing in on re-signing outfielder Nate McLouth.

No word yet on the terms, but one source categorized a deal as "very close." McLouth batted .268/.342/.435 with seven homers, 18 RBI and 12 stolen bases in 55 games with the O's down the stretch and should get the first crack at the starting left field job if he returns.
