Wed May 3 202316:11Robinson Chirinos Announces His Retirement
Catcher Robinson Chirinos officially announced his retirement from professional baseball on Wednesday on his Twitter account. Chirinos hadn't played at all in 2023 and hit .179/.265/.287 with a .552 OPS, nine doubles, four home runs, 22 RBI, a steal and 10 runs scored in 67 games for the Baltimore Orioles in 2022. He spent time with six different teams during his 11-year career, but he only spent significant time with one team, the Texas Rangers (seven seasons). He saw one-year stints with the Mets, Rays, Cubs, Orioles and Astros. The 38-year-old backstop will walk away from the game with a career .226/.319/.419 slash line with a .738 OPS, 95 home runs, 306 RBI and five stolen bases in 714 regular season games.

Thu Apr 21 202214:55Robinson Chirinos Clears Concussion Protocol
Baltimore Orioles catcher Robinson Chirinos (head) passed the league's concussion protocol and will avoid a stint on the injured list after taking a pitch off the left side of his face/shoulder on Wednesday. Manager Brandon Hyde said that Chirinos should be back in the lineup this weekend against the Los Angeles Angels. "That was a good phone call to get that he's OK," Hyde said. With Chirinos out of the lineup on Thursday, Anthony Bemboom is doing the catching and hitting eighth against Oakland Athletics right-hander Paul Blackburn. The 37-year-old Chirinos has just four singles and no RBI in his first 22 at-bats over 10 games played. He's just keeping the seat warm for catching prospect Adley Rutschman.

Sat Mar 12 202222:45Robinson Chirinos Heading To Baltimore On One-Year Deal
The Baltimore Orioles signed veteran catcher Robinson Chirinos to a one-year contract, according to Marly Rivera of ESPN. Chirinos is nothing more than a stopgap option for the O's, as top-prospect Adley Rutschman should spend the bulk of the season as the starting catcher in Baltimore. The 37-year-old Chirinos slashed .221/324/.454 with five homers across 45 games for the Cubs last season and is an afterthought in even the deepest fantasy leagues.

Thu Sep 23 202107:43Robinson Chirinos Suffers Left Side Injury On Wednesday
Chicago Cubs catcher Robinson Chirinos (side) was lifted in the seventh inning of Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. He grabbed his left side after a check swing during his seventh inning at-bat. He was then visited by a trainer and manager David Ross and promptly lifted from the game. Chirinos and Austin Romine have been serving as backups to starting catcher Willson Contreras lately. Romine would become the primary backup if Chirinos is forced to miss time. Over 45 games on the year, Chirinos is slashing .227/.324/.454 with five home runs, 15 RBI and 13 runs.

Fri Aug 20 202113:48Robinson Chirinos Not In Friday's Lineup
Chicago Cubs catcher Robinson Chirinos is absent from Friday's lineup against the Kansas City Royals. Austin Romine will do the catching in his place. Chirinos, who was signed in early July, has taken on the starting catcher duties after Willson Contreras (knee) landed on the injured list. He has done well in his short stint after a disappointing 2020, slashing .286/.406/.585 with four home runs in 28 games. He's always been able to hit for power with a career .435 slugging, and fantasy managers may want to stream Chirinos until he loses playing time once Contreras returns.

Fri Aug 13 202123:33Robinson Chirinos Has Big Night In Loss
Chicago Cubs catcher Robinson Chirinos went 4-for-6 with two runs and a solo home run in Friday's loss versus the Miami Marlins. Chirinos has become the new starting catcher with Willson Contreras (knee) being placed on the 10-day injured list on Thursday. Chirinos raised his batting average from .238 to .250 with the big performance and now has four home runs and five RBI on the season. Despite the big game, the veteran doesn't offer much value to managers and can be avoided in most formats at the moment.

NEW YORK (AP) — Tylor Megill threw six scoreless innings for his first big league victory and got his first career hit, Pete Alonso homered twice and the New York Mets beat the Toronto Blue Jays 3-0 on Friday night. Megill (1-0) allowed two hits, walked one and struck out five as the rookie right-hander lowered his ERA to 2.10 a few hours after the Mets bolstered their injury-plagued rotation by acquiring Rich Hill from Tampa Bay. New York has eight starters on the injured list, including ace Jacob deGrom. Alonso continued his post-Home Run Derby surge, hitting a two-run shot off former teammate Steven Matz (8-5) in the first inning and adding a solo blast off Ryan Borucki in the eighth. Alonso has four homers in his last four games. Seth Lugo tossed a one-hit seventh, Trevor May threw a perfect eighth and Edwin Diaz snapped a streak of three straight blown saves by striking out one in a perfect ninth for his 20th save.

Sun Jul 18 202101:01Shooting outside Nationals Park halts Padres-Washington game
WASHINGTON (AP) — The game between the San Diego Padres and Washington was suspended in the sixth inning Saturday night after police said there was a shooting outside Nationals Park. The shooting, an exchange of gunfire between people in two cars, left three people injured, according to Ashan Benedict, the Metropolitan Police Department’s executive assistant police chief. One of the people who was shot was a woman who was attending the game and who was struck while she was outside the stadium, he said. Her injuries weren’t considered life-threatening.

Mon Jul 5 202119:18Cubs agree to 1-year contract with backup catcher Chirinos
CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Cubs agreed to a one-year contract with catcher Robinson Chirinos on Monday. A .231 career hitter over parts of nine seasons with Tampa Bay, Texas, Houston and the New York Mets, Chirinos figures to back up Willson Contreras. He gets an $800,000 salary while in the majors and $150,000 while in the minors. The 37-year-old Chirinos broke his right wrist in spring training with the New York Yankees and was released Saturday after playing in 13 games for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He set career highs with 18 homers and 65 RBIs for Texas in 2018. Chirinos has appeared in 18 postseason games, including the 2019 World Series with Houston. He played in Chicago’s farm system from 2001-10. The Cubs designated catcher Taylor Gushue for assignment. He was called up from Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday when Chicago placed catcher Jose Lobaton on the 60-day injured list because of a sprained left shoulder. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports
