Nolan Reimold: Retires from pro baseball

The veteran outfielder hit .222/.300/.365 as a reserve outfielder for the Orioles last year before electing free agency this offseason. Reimold could make a return to the big leagues in due time, but he'll head in a different direction for now.

Orioles' Nolan Reimold: Plays hero Sunday with pinch-hit walkoff homer
Nolan Reimold pinch hit for Julio Borbon in the bottom of the ninth inning Sunday and launched a walkoff, two-run home run off Indians closer Cody Allen.It was his first homer in almost two months, and Reimold entered Sunday's game hitting just .130 (3-for-23) in July. The Reimold-Borbon duo will likely split time in left field while both Hyun Soo Kim (hamstring) and Joey Rickard (thumb) are on the shelf, but Kim could return as soon as Tuesday. If Reimold keeps playing hero for the O's, though, he'll work his way into more playing time even after Kim is back.

Orioles' Nolan Reimold: Starts second game in a row Monday
Nolan Reimold is starting in left field and batting seventh for the Baltimore Orioles Monday, MASN Sports reports.Reimold seems to be starting two or three times per week, with the Orioles attempting to funnel his at-bats to left-handed pitchers. That said, he doesn't have much in the way of a platoon split this season -- .286/.375/.457 against left-handers and .292/.327/.542 against right-handers. Reimold does, however, have 25 strikeouts in 83 at-bats, and that in combination with his .414 BABIP suggests his average is in for a tumble.

Orioles' Nolan Reimold: Not in lineup Friday
Nolan Reimold is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers.This is the fourth time in the past week Reimold will not be in the starting lineup. With right-hander Justin Verlander on the bump for Detroit, manager Buck Showalter decided to move Mark Trumbo into the outfield and slot Pedro Alvarez into the lineup as the designated hitter. Reimold has been sitting more frequently with right-handed pitchers on the mound as of late, but if he continues to hit as well as he has this season (.348 batting average thus far), he may force his way into more playing time.
