5/12/24 MLB rumors: 3 closers Orioles are targeting as Craig Kimbrel blows up. The Baltimore Orioles have the best record in the American League, showcasing how great their young talent is. Ahead of the season, the O's signed future Hall of Famer Craig Kimbrel to a one-year deal. Bautista had to undergo Tommy John surgery, depriving Baltimore of arguably the best closer in the game. Kimbrel was seen as a stopgap and a veteran arm to help out in the meantime.

5/10/24 Five things we learned from the Orioles' week, including the Craig Kimbrel dilemma and the meaning of the sweepless streak. The Orioles swept the Cincinnati Reds and outlasted the Washington Nationals over 12 innings to pull out a split and extend their steak of not being swept in the regular season to 103 series. The Orioles' Wednesday night back-and-forth with the Nationals felt long and strange enough to make for an appropriate end to a streak that goes back two years. A dozen times since May 2022, the Orioles had been one loss away from a sweep, and they had won those games by a combined 41 runs.

5/03/24 Weekly Recap: O's win early season series over Yankees for first place. The Baltimore Orioles started the week a little shaky after blowing two games late against the Oakland Athletics before responding with a series win over the rival New York Yankees. The bullpen took some lumps early and closer Craig Kimbrel was out with back soreness. Luckily, the team stepped up and were able to take three out of four games from the Yankees, mostly due to the pitching staff. The bats waited until the final game to really come alive, but their three home runs on Thursday added to the Major League-leading total of 48.

4/30/24 With Craig Kimbrel injured, who do Orioles rely on to close games?. The Orioles will be without closer Craig Kimbrel as he deals with back tightness for the foreseeable future. "Right now, he is just dealing with some upper-back tightness," Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said about Kimbrel. In the meantime, they turned to left-hander Danny Coulombe to close out Monday's game against the New York Yankees. Hyde decided to keep Yennier Cano in his setup man role last night, even though he was the first option last season to fill in at closer when Felix Bautista was injured.

4/21/24 Orioles' Colton Cowser admits he 'yeeted' baseball without knowing importance to Craig Kimbrel. The Baltimore Orioles picked up their 13th win of the season on Saturday night – a 9-7 victory over the Kansas City Royals that helped give Craig Kimbrel save No. 422 of his career. Kimbrel tied Billy Wagner for seventh on the all-time MLB saves list, which made what Colton Cowser did with the milestone baseball a bit off-putting. Cowser made the final out in the win and he threw the ball behind him and into the Kauffman Stadium fountains.
