Date: Team: Pos:
Jason Hammel - S - Orioles

Jason Hammel recorded his sixth win of the season in Friday's 8-2 win over the Royals.

Hammel allowed five hits over six innings of work and struck out seven. His win total and 2.78 ERA currently rank first and eighth in the American League, respectively.

J.J. Hardy - SS - Orioles

J.J. Hardy doubled and drove in two runs in Friday's win over the Royals.

He also walked and scored a run. Hardy got off to a really slow start, but still has 20 extra-base hits and a .468 slugging-percentage on the season. The shoulder injury that limited him earlier this week no longer appears to be an issue.

Nolan Reimold - OF - Orioles

Nolan Reimold (neck) received a second epidural injection Friday.

As expected. We should know within the next few days whether Reimold is feeling any improvement. Either way, he's not close to rejoining the Orioles.

Taylor Teagarden - C - Orioles

Taylor Teagarden is scheduled to return to Florida to resume his rehab after receiving a second opinion on his back injury.

Teagarden met with Dr. Andrew Dossett in Dallas this week, who confirmed the initial diagnosis of his lower back injury. The 28-year-old backstop has already received three epidural injections and there's no clear timetable for his return.

Mark Reynolds - 3B - Orioles

Mark Reynolds (oblique) will begin a minor league rehab assignment Saturday with Double-A Bowie.

He's slated to play there on Saturday and Sunday, after which the O's will make a decision about whether to active him. Reynolds landed on the disabled list earlier this month with a strained right oblique. He is batting just .191/.324/.337 with two homers and 36 strikeouts in 108 plate appearances this year.

Endy Chavez - OF - Orioles

Endy Chavez will begin a minor league rehab assignment Saturday with Double-A Bowie.

He'll play there Saturday and Sunday before being reevaluated. The 34-year-old outfielder hasn't played since May 8 due to a strained left oblique. He was batting just .133/.175/.167 in 60 at-bats prior to the injury.

Matt Lindstrom - R - Orioles

Matt Lindstrom (finger) hopes to go to Sarasota, Florida on Saturday to begin his rehab.

Lindstrom is currently working his way back from a partial tear of a ligament in his right middle finger. If all goes well in his rehab process, he could rejoin the O's bullpen by mid-June. The 32-year-old has a 1.29 ERA and 14/4 K/BB ratio over 14 innings this season.

Stuart Pomeranz - R - Orioles

Orioles recalled RHP Stuart Pomeranz from Triple-A Norfolk.

Pomeranz tossed four scoreless innings for the O's earlier this month before being sent packing. He'll work in middle relief.
May 25 - 3:42 PM
Bill Hall - DH - Orioles

Orioles designated INF-OF Bill Hall for assignment.

Hall's playing time with the O's was limited, as he had two hits -- including a homer -- over just seven at-bats covering two weeks. He should clear waivers, but it remains to be seen if he'll accept a Triple-A assignment.
May 25 - 3:40 PM
Luis Exposito - C - Orioles

Orioles optioned C Luis Exposito to Triple-A Norfolk.

Exposito managed just one hit in 17 at-bats as Matt Wieters' backup. He's replaced on the roster by Ronny Paulino.
May 25 - 3:26 PM
Ronny Paulino - C - Orioles

Orioles recalled C Ronny Paulino from Triple-A Norfolk.

He'll take Luis Exposito's spot as Matt Wieters' backup. Paulino was sent down earlier this month despite hitting .300 over 30 at-bats with the O's. He returns after batting .283/.313/.391 at Norfolk.
May 25 - 3:25 PM
Adam Jones - OF - Orioles

Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that Adam Jones' extension with the Orioles is expected to be for six years and around $85 million.

It seems like a pretty fair deal for both sides. Jones is in the midst of a career year, as he sports a .311/.357/.601 batting line to go with 14 homers. He had been set to be arbitration-eligible for the final time in 2013 before hitting free agency. The deal would be the largest in Orioles history, easily outpacing Miguel Tejada's six-year, $72 million free agent deal back in 2004.

Adam Jones - OF - Orioles

Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that the Orioles are close to signing Adam Jones to a long-term extension.

Specific terms of the deal aren't available at this point, but Rosenthal says the extension will be "well north" of Miguel Tejada's six-year, $72 million free agent deal and Nick Markakis' six-year, $66.1 million extension. Jones, who is batting a cool .311/.357/.601 with 14 homers this season, was set to be arbitration-eligible for the final time in 2013 before hitting free agency.

J.C. Romero - R - Orioles

Orioles signed LHP J.C. Romero to a minor league contract; assigned him to Triple-A Norfolk.

Romero was released by the Cardinals earlier this month after allowing 14 hits and nine runs in eight innings. He'll act as organizational relief depth for the O's.

Brian Roberts - 2B - Orioles

Brian Roberts (head) drew two walks in two plate appearances Wednesday at Double-A Bowie.

Roberts also scored a run and had a couple of defensive assists at second base in what was his minor league rehab debut. The 34-year-old hasn't appeared in a major league game in over a year and is likely to spend more than two weeks in the O's farm system. He's probably not worth a stash in most fantasy formats.
