RHP Ubaldo Jimenez made his first start in nearly a month and allowed one run and five hits in six innings while taking the loss Thursday at Washington. "He was great. I think everybody was pulling for him," said manager Buck Showalter. "Almost took him out after the fifth, but he said he felt good and wanted to go there. We needed those six innings. We're still having trouble pitching that last inning. It's been a challenge for us. Ubaldo kept us in the game. There's a game there to be won if we can keep it at 1-0."

RHP Ubaldo Jimenez will make the start Thursday in Washington, taking the spot of RHP Chris Tillman. He was taken out of the rotation earlier this year after being ineffective. The veteran is 5-10 with a 6.94 ERA for Baltimore in 22 games, with 18 starts.

RHP Ubaldo Jimenez allowed one run on five hits and three walks with eight strikeouts in five innings Thursday against the Twins. The start was his first game action in nearly three weeks.

RHP Ubaldo Jimenez should be back with the Orioles on Tuesday. Jimenez, whose wife just had a baby a few days ago, was on paternity leave. The right-hander, who lost his spot in the rotation, has not pitched since lasting just 1 1/3 innings in a July 8 start against the Angels, but he could have a chance to start in Thursday's makeup game in Minnesota. "(The break) might actually be good for him," manager Buck Showalter said. "Who knows? It might be a nice little freshen-up."

RHP Ubaldo Jimenez left the team to be with his pregnant wife. The Orioles placed him on the paternity leave list before Saturday's game and recalled RHP Tyler Wilson to take his place in long relief.

RHP Ubaldo Jimenez was named the starter for the series opener Friday against the Angels. Jimenez has struggled for much of the season and might he have finally pitched his way out of the rotation. He allowed five runs on five hits with two walks over just 1 1/3 innings, boosting his ERA to 7.38. It wasn t even the shortest outing of the season for Jimenez, who lasted just a third of an inning June 12 at Toronto.

RHP Ubaldo Jimenez had another rough outing Sunday, when he gave up five-plus runs for the ninth time in his 13 starts since May 1. Jimenez was charged with six runs on six hits over 4 1/3 innings. He became the third Baltimore starter in four games at Seattle to fail to get past the fifth inning, a pattern that already forced the Orioles to make one move to bolster its overused bullpen.

RHP Ubaldo Jimenez has won each of his past two starts to get another chance Sunday at Seattle. Jimenez struggled to the tune of a 7.34 ERA through June 17, and his spot in the rotation was teetering, but he has gone 2-0 with a 2.45 ERA his last two times out.

RHP Ubaldo Jimenez lost his spot in the starting rotation recently but pitched well in a spot start on Wednesday. Jimenez still struggled with control and command at times but gave up two runs on four hits in six innings, striking out seven with four walks. There's still a big question as to how the Orioles are going to use him the rest of this season -- they just need him to pitch more like this. "I would have signed up for that and hopefully he can take it and build on it," manager Buck Showalter said.

RHP Ubaldo Jimenez surrendered five earned runs on four hits over 2 1/3 innings in his first relief appearance of the season. It was the fifth relief outing of his career and the first since he threw one inning on Sept. 28th, 2014 at Toronto.

RHP Ubaldo Jimenez allowed six hits and five runs in one-third of an inning Sunday in the Orioles' 10-9 loss to the Blue Jays, the shortest start of his career. He has not pitched into the sixth inning in his past seven starts. It was the shortest start by an Orioles pitcher since July 20, 2011 when LHP Zach Britton went one-third of an inning. Jimenez has failed to pitch two innings in two of his past four starts. "His stuff is not very crisp, and he can't command a baseball right now," manager Buck Showalter said. "That's a bad combination against a good-hitting team."Said Jimenez: "They got me right away. It wasn't like I was walking guys or anything. They came out swinging."

RHP Ubaldo Jimenez will make his 13th start of the season on Sunday in the finale of a four-game series with the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. He has faced Toronto once this season, allowing five hits, four walks and two runs while striking out six in five innings on April 20 at Camden Yards. He did not factor in the decision as the Orioles won 4-3. He is 8-6 with a 3.87 ERA in 14 career outings, including 13 starts, against the Blue Jays. In Jimenez's most recent start on Tuesday, he allowed nine hits, three walks and one run in five innings of a 9-1 win over the Royals. He has not pitched more than 5 2/3 innings in his past six starts in which he is 1-3 with an 8.44 ERA.

RHP Ubaldo Jimenez broke a personal three-game losing streak but was shaky in getting the victory in Baltimore's 9-1 decision over the Royals on Tuesday. Jimenez still couldn't find the great control and command the Orioles are looking for from him as he walked three while striking out four in five-plus innings. Command has been an issue for Jimenez most of this season.
