Orioles vs. Athletics, Sept. 11

The Orioles open a three-game series against the Oakland Athletics at Camden Yards.

3rd & 7 37yd

DJ Stewart said he felt his season was the tale of two halves. Felt great before hamstring injury, and pressed too hard to get back to form once he returned. Said he thought that might have made callup unlikely but he’s here to show he’s a good player. #Orioles

Just as early-season schedule tested Orioles, playoff opponents down stretch will be another measure dlvr.it/QjsxYv https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dm1soD7U4AAypI5.jpg

Buck said Stewart is slated to play tomorrow. Jones will play, and team playing contenders and at home will be a factor in when. Still weighing whether to shut down Rogers. #orioles

Buck notes: Stewart will play tomorrow, and “the baseball player part of DJ is really good;” Rogers will hear about what the plans are today; Oakland can “catch the ball;” a lot of things go into Adam Jones playing. #Orioles

Even here in baseball’s newest land of opportunity, the circumstances of DJ Stewart’s callup are unique. After a week off and rough second half at Norfolk, he arrives ready to prove he can play. bsun.md/2x1N4Ro

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 9/12/2018 1:43:02 AM
There aren't many people here in the bottom of the ninth at Camden Yards, so the yells of encouragement to Adam Jones can be heard well as he steps to the plate to open the inning. #Orioles

Jones then grounds out to shortstop.

Cobb left game with blister, opened up in second inning. Will play it day by day, Buck said he expects him to pitch again this year. Rogers could be used in bullpen, but has likely made his last start of the season. #orioles

Updated story on #Orioles right-hander Alex Cobb's blister/cut. "The goal is obviously to continue to pitch at some point this year. I just don’t know when that will be."
