COLE IRVIN NEWS

Puts up strong start Irvin allowed a run on three hits and struck out four without walking a batter over 6.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Twins on Friday.

Impact Irvin has allowed exactly one run in five of his six outings (five starts) since returning to the big-league roster June 10. Friday's effort was his longest of the season, though a lack of run support contributed to his winless streak stretching to a fifth outing. He's now at a 5.50 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 32:13 K:BB through 37.2 innings across 10 appearances (eight starts) on the year. He's pitched well enough lately to remain in the rotation as the Orioles' fifth starter following the All-Star break.

Solid in no-decision Irvin did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing one run on six hits and three walks over five innings against Minnesota. He struck out one.

Impact Irvin has pitched better since he was recalled from Triple-A, working to a 3.44 ERA over his last 18.1 innings. The lone run against him Sunday came on Willi Castro's two-out double in the fifth inning. The 29-year-old Irvin is 1-3 with a 6.32 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 28:13 K:BB across 31.1 innings this season. He's currently in line for a rematch with the Twins in his next outing.

Lifted after rain delay Irvin did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing one run on three hits over three innings in a 10-3 victory over Cincinnati. He struck out three and didn't record a walk.

Impact Irvin was replaced to start the fourth inning after a long rain delay, but he had been relatively sharp to start the game. The 23-year-old has been much better during his current big-league stint, posting a 4.05 ERA and 14:2 K:BB over his last four appearances (13.1 innings), than he was at the beginning of the year, when he gave up 15 runs over 12.2 innings. If he can continue to stack quality outings, Irvin should have a good chance of sticking in Baltimore's rotation.

Gives up three home runs in loss Irvin (1-3) took the loss Friday, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk over four innings against the Cubs. He struck out four.

Impact Irvin allowed three solo home runs in the third on hanging breaking balls, but he was otherwise sharp through four innings. It was the left-hander's second straight start in place of Grayson Rodriguez, who was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on May 27. Irvin has been much better during his current big-league stint than he was at the beginning of the year, when he gave up 15 runs over 12.2 innings, but his spot in the Orioles' rotation depends on how successful he is moving forward. His next outing will come at home versus a Seattle squad that has struggled against lefties.

Picking up another start Irvin is scheduled to start Friday's game against the Cubs.

Impact Irvin will receive a second turn through the Baltimore rotation, filling the spot that previously belonged to Grayson Rodriguez before the rookie right-hander was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on May 27. In his return to the big leagues last weekend versus the Royals, Irvin picked up a win while striking out five over 5.1 innings of one-run ball. Though he'll be making his upcoming start on the road at Wrigley Field, Irvin will at least draw another favorable matchup versus a Cubs offense that ranks 27th of the 30 teams in wRC+ (72) since the beginning of June.

Solid in return to MLB Irvin (1-2) earned the win Saturday, allowing one run on six hits across 5.1 innings in a 6-1 victory over the Royals. He struck out five and didn't issue a walk.

Impact Irvin posted an ugly 10.66 ERA across three starts (12.2 innings) before being optioned to Triple-A in mid-April. He was recalled briefly in mid-May but made just once bullpen appearance before being sent down again. The left-hander was performing well in the minors, so he got another chance at the big-league level Saturday and looked sharp, albeit versus the Royals' lackluster offense. Given the strong outing, Irvin figures to get another turn in the Orioles' rotation and is slated pitch again during the opener of a three-game weekend set at Wrigley Field.

Recalled ahead of start against KC Irvin was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday ahead of his start against the Royals.

Impact The veteran southpaw will make a home start against the Royals after logging a 2.32 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 18:2 K:BB in 31 innings over his last five starts at Triple-A. The lack of strikeouts cap Irvin's upside, and he has a 10.38 ERA in 13 MLB innings this season. If he sticks around in the rotation, Irvin would likely face the Cubs on the road next week.

Promotion imminent Irvin will be recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday to start against the Royals, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Irvin has made four appearances (three starts) this season with Baltimore with limited success. He holds a 10.38 ERA and 2.00 WHIP in the majors through 13 innings, but his Triple-A numbers (3.21 ERA and 1.05 WHIP) are much more reassuring. Irvin will have the benefit of facing a Royals lineup that ranks 27th in team OPS this year, but his shaky history makes him a risky fantasy play.

Could be in line to start Saturday Irvin looks to be the "most likely option" to start for the Orioles on Saturday versus the Royals, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Manager Brandon Hyde has professed a desire to use a traditional starter rather than employ a bullpen game, and Irvin seems to line up best given the recent usage of all potential options. The left-hander has struggled mightily in the majors this season (10.38 ERA) but holds a 3.21 ERA with just four walks in seven starts with Triple-A Norfolk.

Optioned to Triple-A Irvin was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Irvin will return to Triple-A after being called up Tuesday to provide the Orioles with an additional bullpen arm. The left-hander recorded one out in Saturday's win, recording his first scoreless outing with Baltimore this season. Overall, Irvin owns a 10.38 ERA in the majors this year and he'll look to hone his craft with Norfolk before potentially returning to Baltimore later in 2023.

Recalled to work in bullpen Irvin was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk by the Orioles on Tuesday.

Impact Per Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun, it appears the O's are bringing Irvin back to provide some length out of the bullpen. Irvin was sent down last month after posting a 10.66 ERA in three starts for Baltimore, but he got back on track at Norfolk with a 3.19 ERA in five outings.

Optioned after poor start Irvin was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday,Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Irvin allowed six earned runs across only four innings against the Athletics -- his former team -- Thursday. After three turns through the rotation this season, he carried a 10.66 ERA and had a disastrous 5.7 BB/9 and 1.4 HR/9. He'll likely be back in the big-league rotation at some point during the campaign, but he'll have to sort things out in the minors in the meantime. In the short term, the move likely means that both Kyle Bradish (foot) and Grayson Rodriguez will stick in the starting five.

Hit hard by former team Irvin allowed six runs on five hits and a walk over 4.0 innings in Thursday's 8-7 win over the A's.

Impact Irvin never seemed to find his footing Thursday, allowing six runs on five hits, including a three-run Brent Rooker home run. Irvin has struggled so far with Baltimore -- he's 0-2 with a 10.66 ERA and a 1.97 WHIP in his first three starts. He'll look to get on track next week when the Orioles visit the Nationals.

Another shaky outing Saturday Irvin (0-2) took the loss Saturday as the Orioles fell 4-1 to the Yankees, giving up three runs on four hits and four walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out five.

Impact The southpaw's debut with Baltimore has not gone smoothly so far. Irvin was expected to provide the team with some stability in the rotation, but instead he's failed to last five innings in either of his first two starts, stumbling to a 9.35 ERA and 9:6 K:BB through 8.2 innings. He'll look to turn things around in his next outing, which could come next week in a home tilt against his former club, the A's.
