Starting rotation
Left-hander Wei-Yin Chen (pictured) was on his way to his second strong performance in a row when he grabbed at his side and exited Sunday's game with a right oblique strain. That's very bad news for a team that already has called on four Triple-A starters to fill in the fifth slot in the rotation and replace injured Miguel Gonzalez. It was a tough week already, after so-so outings by Jason Hammel, Freddy Garcia and Steve Johnson, and that was reflected in the combined numbers. The rotation posted a 2-2 record with a 6.03 ERA and averaged just five innings per start. Even though the team managed to go 4-2 in those games, this is starting to get scary.

Orioles owner Peter Angelos did not make the trip to Arlington, Texas, for Friday night's game between the Orioles and Texas Rangers. He instead watched it from Café Troia, according to the Towson restaurant's owner.
"He was here last night. He's here a lot," said owner Carol Troia. "When he comes in, he likes to watch the game."
Angelos appeared to be happy following the win and was congratulated by those around him.
"He's not overly ecstatic. But he was happy. And then he went home," Troia said.
Angelos sent his son, Louis, to Arlington to represent the family.
