John Means - Set for half-mound work next weekMeans said Wednesday that he expects to advance from throwing off flat ground to throwing off a half-mound early next week, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
ImpactBoth Means and manager Brandon Hyde had implied earlier in spring training that the southpaw was on track to resume half-mound work by the end of February, but Means ended up staying in a holding pattern in his rehab program for Tommy John surgery a little longer than initially anticipated. With both the pitcher and the team having not indicated that he suffered a setback, Means should still have a chance to make it back from the injured list at some point in July. However, Means still has several markers to hit in his recovery from surgery before the Orioles offer a more precise target date for him to make his 2023 debut.

Austin Voth - Role not yet definedVoth's experience as a reliever could lead to him starting 2023 in the bullpen, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
ImpactVoth started 17 of his 41 appearances between the Nationals and the Orioles last season, with most of his success coming in Baltimore. With a crowded competition for the rotation, it would make sense for the Orioles to move the 30-year-old to the bullpen at the start of the campaign. He would likely fill a long-relief role with the ability to make spot starts since he's stretching out in camp.

Kyle Bradish - Works on two pitchesBradish added a sweeping motion to his slider and also worked on his sinker in the offseason, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
ImpactBradish and fellow teammate Dean Kremer worked out together during the offseason for the season year in a row, giving each other tips on their pitches. Bradish leaned on his slider versus right-handed hitters late last season. Both Kremer and Bradish are vying for spots in the back half of the Orioles' rotation, though their major-league experience and relative success compared to other candidates should give them an edge if they pitch well in the spring.
