The Orioles look to halt their six-game losing streak in today's 4:05 p.m. game against the Rays at Tropicana Field. Baltimore had lost six straight for the first time since Aug. 16-21, 2011. - The Orioles will purchased the contract of veteran infielder/outfielder Bill Hall today and place him on the club's 25- and 40-man rosters in order to fill the loss of rightfielder Nick Markakis.
- In the midst of their worst losing streak of the season, the Orioles will now be without their most durable player for as long as a month. Starting rightfielder Nick Markakis will miss two to four weeks with a broken bone in his right wrist.
- The Orioles made several roster moves Tuesday as they attempted to shrug off recent slump.
- The Orioles made four roster moves before tonight game against the Blue Jays, giving them and eye-opening 36 total roster moves involving 20 different players this month.
- Orioles right-hander Tommy Hunter wasn¿t surprised by Tuesday¿s news that he had been optioned to Triple-A Norfolk. Hunter, who this spring was competing for the Opening Day starter spo, was sent to Norfolk for the second time this month. He was optioned on May 7 after allowing five runs in 4 1/3 innings at Boston, but returned three days later to fill a vacant rotation spot.
- Their starting pitching sputtering, their offense anemic, the Orioles lost their sixth game in their past eight, an uninspiring 6-2 loss to a Blue Jays team that had lost five straight, in front of an announced crowd of 16,575.
- The news on right-handed reliever Stu Pomeranz isn¿t as optimistic. Pomeranz, who has provided the Orioles with a stabilizing long-relief option in the bullpen, had an MRI taken earlier Monday that Showalter said revealed a tear.
- Orioles right-handed reliever Stu Pomeranz is likely headed to the disabled list after injuring himself while preparing to enter the game before the seventh inning Sunday.
- Off day provides extra punch for J.J. Hardy

- Orioles infielder Mark Reynolds (oblique strain) and outfielder Endy Chavez (intercostal strain) played in an extended spring game today and will report to Double-A Bowie to begin minor league rehab assignments tomorrow.
- It has been a quick rise and a fast start for Orioles rookie Xavier Avery. The speedy outfielder has reached the majors at just 22 years old and made an impact.
- As long as the Orioles are playing well, Jim Johnson says, he's happy being their closer. The right-hander says he would like to be a starter at some point but is content with his current role.
- Here are some notes and injury updates from Orioles manager Buck Showalter's pre-game news conference.
- Nolan Reimold, Brian Roberts, Zach Britton and Endy Chavez could return soon — but who gives up their spots?
- Connolly's Bar: What do you make of the 2012 Orioles?
- Just more than two hours from the scheduled game time from tonight's Orioles game against the Yankees, the tarp is on the infield here at Camden Yards and the rain is still coming down, a bad omen for getting tonight's game in.
- The Orioles purchased the contract of outfielder Xavier Avery from Triple-A Norfok.
- The Orioles are going for their first three-game sweep of the Rays today in Baltimore since since July 24-26, 2007.
- The Orioles continue to make roster moves at a dizzying pace, the latest occurring Saturday afternoon when third baseman Mark Reynolds was placed on the disabled list with a strained oblique.
- Orioles left fielder Nolan Reimold is scheduled to undergo an epidural injection in his sore neck, but it appears very doubtful that he¿ll be ready to come off the disabled list as soon as he becomes eligible Wednesday.

- The Orioles' game against the Rangers, with first pitch scheduled for 7:05 p.m., has yet to begin because of rain.
- Jason Hammel's sore right knee has caused the Orioles to push back his next start. They will recall Tommy Hunter and likely send Endy Chave to the DL.

- Orioles rookie utility man Ryan Flaherty started just one game in the club's first 16 games and now has started each of the past four, including in right field Saturday night ¿ the first time he had appeared there as a major leaguer.

- The Orioles hope to get back in the win column tonight after their four-game winning streak was snapped with last night's 5-2 loss to the A's here at Camden Yards.
