Former Red Sox outfield prospect Enddy Azocar has been named the South Atlantic League Player of the Month for August, Minor League Baseball announced on Thursday.
When the Orioles acquired five players from the Boston Red Sox in the Adley Rutschman deal on August 3rd, most of the attention was on two top pitchers, right-handers Anthony Eyanson and Kyle Witherspoon.
Trey Gibson gave up a lead off homer to rehabbing big leaguer Sal Frelick to begin the game, but then sailed through the first four innings with no other damage.
Triple-A: Buffalo Bison (TOR) 9, Norfolk Tides 3 Norfolk starter Michel Forret, recently (re)acquired from Tampa Bay for Tyler Wells, pitched well in his 2026 Orioles org debut: the final line isn’t his fault.
The 2026 season has been headlined by young players emerging, but some wily veterans have also had their day. As we head toward the end of the regular season, these 30 players stand out as the biggest surprises on their teams.
The Tides scored 2+ runs in each of the first four innings, racing out to an early lead they would not relinquish in their series-opening win vs. the Bisons.
