• Orioles' Cade Povich: Falters in fifth inning

  Rotowire Mar 14, 2025

  Povich took the loss in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Blue Jays after giving up five runs on eight hits over 4.2 innings. He struck out two. Although his final stat line leaves a lot to be desired, Povich had allowed a lone run through four innings before getting knocked around for four runs in the fifth frame. The 24-year-old left-hander is competing with Albert Suarez for Baltimore's final rotation spot in the wake of Grayson Rodriguez's elbow injury, but manager Brandon Hyde said prior to Thursday's game that Povich wasn't entering a "make-or-break" start, per Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com. Povich, who now holds a 4.66 ERA and 1.03 WHIP with nine strikeouts across 9.2 innings this spring, will likely get at least one more start in the Grapefruit League before the Orioles make a rotation decision.

• Orioles' Cade Povich: Positioned as No. 7 starter

  Rotowire Mar 2, 2025

  Manager Brandon Hyde said Saturday that Povich is currently considered the Orioles' seventh starting pitcher, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports. Assuming everyone stays healthy throughout spring training, Baltimore's five-man rotation of Zach Eflin, Grayson Rodriguez, Charlie Morton, Dean Kremer and Tomoyuki Sugano is set, while Hyde labeled Albert Suarez as the No. 6 starter. Povich appears poised to begin the campaign at Triple-A Norfolk, but he's off to a strong start in spring training with seven strikeouts over five scoreless innings through two starts. The left-hander made 16 starts for Baltimore as a rookie last year and had a 5.20 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 69:34 K:BB across 79.2 innings, and it's likely just a matter of time before he receives another look in 2025.

• Orioles' Cade Povich: Clinches playoff spot for O's

  Rotowire Sep 28, 2024

  Povich (3-9) picked up the win Friday, allowing two hits and a walk over 5.2 scoreless innings in a 7-2 victory over the Twins. He struck out two. The rookie southpaw fired 57 of 79 pitches for strikes, falling just short of his fourth career quality start, as he helped the Orioles clinch a wild-card spot. Povich put together an impressive September to close out his first season in the majors, posting a 2.60 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 32:8 K:BB through 27.2 innings over five outings, but it's not yet clear how Baltimore plans to deploy the 24-year-old in the playoffs.

  Rotowire Sep 21, 2024

  Povich did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-4 loss against the Tigers, allowing two runs on two hits and three walks with seven strikeouts over five innings. Povich turned in another solid outing Saturday as he continues his strong month of September. The rookie left-hander has a 3.27 ERA and 0.95 WHIP with 30 strikeouts in 22 innings this month. Opponents are hitting just .175 against Povich over that stretch, and he'll finish off his regular season with a road start at Minnesota next week.

  Rotowire Sep 3, 2024

  Povich (2-10) earned the win Tuesday over the White Sox, allowing five hits over 7.1 scoreless innings. He struck out 10. Povich took advantage of a matchup with the last-place White Sox, turning in his best start thus far in his rookie campaign while striking out a season-high 10 batters in a scoreless effort. Povich had lost five of his last six outings coming into Tuesday, posting an ugly 9.24 ERA in that span. The left-hander lowered his ERA to 5.76 though 59.1 innings this year with a 1.60 WHIP and 47:26 K:BB. Povich is currently slated for a road matchup with the Red Sox early next week in his next start.

• Orioles' Cade Povich: Another poor outing

  Rotowire Aug 30, 2024

  Povich (1-7) took the loss against the Dodgers on Thursday, allowing five runs on 10 hits and one walk over 3.1 innings while striking out three. Povich got knocked around early and often, allowing at least two hits in each of his four innings. The southpaw generated just four whiffs over that stretch while allowing five runs for the second consecutive start. Povich has now lost his last five decisions, allowing three or more runs in five of six outings over that stretch. He'll finish up the month of August with a 7.36 ERA to go along with a 12:3 K:BB.

• Orioles' Cade Povich: Drawing start Friday

  Rotowire Aug 21, 2024

  Povich is scheduled to start Friday's game against the Astros at Camden Yards, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports. The Orioles recalled Povich from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday as a replacement on the 26-man roster and in the rotation for Zach Eflin (shoulder), who was placed on the injured list. Povich has been largely ineffective over his nine starts with the big club this season (5.77 ERA, 1.68 WHIP, 4.0 K-BB% in 43.2 innings), but he delivered one of his better performances in his most recent outing with Baltimore this past Saturday. Though he was handed a loss against the Red Sox, he held a potent lineup to two runs on six hits and no walks while striking out six batters over a career-high 6.1 innings.

• Orioles' Cade Povich: Recalled ahead of start

  Rotowire Aug 17, 2024

  The Orioles recalled Povich from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday ahead of his start against the Red Sox. Povich has a 3.86 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 11 strikeouts in 14 innings over two starts for Norfolk since last getting optioned July 29. While the 24-year-old lefty has been largely successful this season in the highest level of the minors (3.48 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, 89 strikeouts in 77.2 innings), he has been overmatched against big-league hitters, logging a 14.3 percent strikeout rate and 13.1 percent walk rate in 37.1 innings. With Albert Suarez expected to start Sunday, Povich may be optioned back to Triple-A after this start.

• Orioles' Cade Povich: Will start Saturday versus Boston

  Rotowire Aug 16, 2024

  The Orioles will recall Povich from Triple-A Norfolk to start Saturday's game against the Red Sox, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports. Povich will be added to the taxi squad Friday before officially joining the active roster Saturday. Albert Suarez had been in line to start Saturday, but the club could be moving him back to the bullpen. Povich has mostly struggled in his eight starts with Baltimore, posting a 6.27 ERA and 25:23 K:BB over 37.1 innings. However, the lefty has gone seven innings in both of his last two starts for Norfolk.

  Rotowire Jul 29, 2024

  The Orioles recalled Povich from Triple-A Norfolk to start the second game of Monday's doubleheader with the Blue Jays, Danielle Allentuck of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports. The left-hander has offered uneven results in his first seven starts this season for the Orioles, putting up a 6.27 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 24:18 K:BB over 33 innings. Povich will technically be the 27th man for the doubleheader and is likely to be optioned back to Norfolk after the spot start.

• Orioles' Cade Povich: Sticking around in rotation

  Rotowire Jun 16, 2024

  Povich is scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Yankees in New York, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports. After being roughed up for six earned runs in 5.1 innings in his MLB debut June 6 in Toronto, Povich rebounded nicely in his second start this past Wednesday, when he struck out six Atlanta batters over six scoreless frames. Povich will be rewarded with a third turn through the rotation for his efforts, but he may need another strong showing Wednesday to stick around with the big club. Dean Kremer (triceps) will likely make another rehab start this week before returning from the 15-day injured list thereafter, and Povich could be the odd man out of the rotation when that happens.

• Orioles' Cade Povich: Blanks Atlanta in no-decision

  Rotowire Jun 13, 2024

  Povich came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Atlanta, allowing five hits over six scoreless innings. He struck out six without walking a batter. The southpaw was brilliant in his second big-league start, firing 63 of 89 pitches for strikes and leaving the mound in line for his first career win before Matt Olson tied the game at 2-2 in the eighth inning. Despite this performance, Povich may be headed back to the minors if Dean Kremer (triceps) is cleared to rejoin the rotation next week, but if the O's want to keep the youngster around, Albert Suarez could also shift back to the bullpen.

• Orioles' Cade Povich: Getting another start Wednesday

  Rotowire Jun 10, 2024

  Povich will start Wednesday in Baltimore against Atlanta, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports. The Orioles will keep Povich around in the big leagues as part of a six-man rotation, though he may not be guaranteed any starts beyond Wednesday with Dean Kremer (triceps) nearing a return from the 15-day injured list. After being called up from Triple-A Norfolk last week, Povich underwhelmed in his first MLB start Thursday against the Blue Jays, yielded six runs on five hits and four walks over 5.1 innings while collecting just two strikeouts.

• Orioles' Cade Povich: On taxi squad, could pitch Thursday

  Rotowire Jun 5, 2024

  Povich is headed to Toronto to join the Orioles' taxi squad and could be called up from Triple-A Norfolk to start Thursday's series finale versus the Blue Jays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. Kyle Bradish is on turn to start Thursday's series finale in Toronto, but the Orioles are considering handing that assignment to Povich and giving Bradish an extra day of rest. If Povich gets the nod Thursday, it would mark his MLB debut. He's had a dominant 2024 season with Norfolk, posting a 3.18 ERA and 75:21 K:BB over 56.2 innings covering 11 starts.
