APRIL 6, 2025 • Associated Press

Fans eight in shaky outing Povich allowed three runs on five hits and two walks over 4.1 innings during a no-decision against Boston on Monday. He struck out eight in the win.

Impact Povich allowed all three runs in the first three frames, including two in the second inning on a Jarren Duran triple. Povich needed 94 pitches (59 strikes) to record 13 outs and found himself in several jams. He earned a spot in the Opening Day rotation with a 3.07 ERA and 15:4 K:BB through 14.2 frames during spring training. Povich will look to be a bit more efficient in his next start, which is currently lined up to be in Kansas City this weekend.

Impact The 24-year-old earned the final rotation spot over Albert Suarez, who was the early favorite for the job after Grayson Rodriguez was shut down with elbow inflammation. Povich had a 5.20 ERA in 16 regular-season starts as a rookie last year, but he had a strong showing during spring training with a 3.07 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 15:4 K:BB across 14.2 innings.

MARCH 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Stakes claim for last rotation spot Povich picked up the win after throwing five hitless innings with three walks in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Blue Jays. He struck out six.

Impact Battling with Albert Suarez for Baltimore's final rotation spot in Grayson Rodriguez's (elbow) stead, Povich dazzled against Toronto's regular lineup to stake his claim to open the season as a starter. Although the 24-year-old left-hander stumbled with five runs allowed in last Friday's Grapefruit League start, Povich carries a 3.07 ERA and 0.89 WHIP with 15 strikeouts over 14.2 innings this spring, including three scoreless outings. Povich acknowledged after Tuesday's game that it could have been his last spring appearance, per Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com, but the aforementioned Suarez is scheduled to start Friday's exhibition contest against the Tigers for his final audition before the Orioles decide on their fifth starter.

MARCH 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Falters in fifth inning in loss 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.

Impact 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 Thursday 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 decide on who will fill in for Rodriguez to begin the season.

MARCH 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Positioned as No. 7 starter Manager Brandon Hyde said Saturday that Povich is currently considered the Orioles' seventh starting pitcher, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 21, 2025 • MLB.COM

Clinches playoff spot for O's 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.

Impact 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.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Strikes out seven in no decision 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.

Impact 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 season with a road start at Minnesota next week.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Fans eight in defeat Povich (2-9) took the loss Sunday, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks over five innings against the Tigers. He struck out eight.

Impact Povich allowed a third-inning homer by Riley Greene that represented the only two runs allowed by the Orioles' righty. Otherwise, Povich pitched well, rebounding from allowing four runs in 4.2 during his last start by fanning eight while allowing only four baserunners prior to being pulled after five having thrown 89 pitches. It's the fifth time through 14 starts that Povich has allowed two or fewer runs while tossing at least five innings. He's slated to get another shot against the Tigers in his next start, this time within the friendly confines of Camden Yards.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Hit hard in loss Povich (2-8) took the loss Monday against Boston, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks across 4.2 innings. He struck out five.

Impact Three of the five hits Povich allowed went for extra bases, including a two-run home run to Rob Refsnyder and a solo homer to Tyler O'Neill. Povich has surrendered four or more runs in three of his last four starts, though he blanked the White Sox in 7.1 innings during the other outing. Overall, the left-hander has a 5.91 ERA across 64 innings this season. He's tentatively scheduled to close out a two-start week Sunday against the Tigers.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Strikes out 10 in win Povich (2-10) earned the win Tuesday over the White Sox, allowing five hits over 7.1 scoreless innings. He struck out 10.

Impact Povich took advantage of a matchup with the last-place White Sox, turning in his best start thus far in his rookie campaign, 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.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Beat up again in loss 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.

Impact Povich got knocked around early and often, allowing at least two hits in each of the four innings where he took the mound. 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.

AUGUST 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Allows five runs in no-decision Povich did not factor into the decision in Friday's 7-5 win over the Astros, allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks with three strikeouts over five innings.

Impact Povich was mainly burned by two home runs and departed at 84 pitches without recording an out in the sixth inning. The southpaw impressed with a quality start Saturday but missed just nine bats and was bailed out by an eighth-inning rally from his offense Friday. On the season, he owns an uninspiring 6.10 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 34:25 K:BB across 48.2 innings and lines up for a tough road matchup with the Dodgers next week.

AUGUST 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Drawing start Friday Povich is scheduled to start Friday's game against the Astros at Camden Yards, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact The Orioles recalled Povich from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday as a replacement on the 26-man roster and in the rotation for Cole Irvin (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.

AUGUST 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from Triple-A The Orioles recalled Povich from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.

Impact Povich was sent down following a spot start Saturday versus the Red Sox after allowing two runs over 6.1 innings, but he's back now to take the roster spot of Zach Eflin (shoulder). The rookie left-hander would appear likely to rejoin the rotation for a start Thursday against the Astros.

AUGUST 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Heading back to Triple-A The Orioles will option Povich to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Impact Povich was brought up to the big-league club to start Saturday's game against the Red Sox and give the Orioles' rotation an additional day of rest. The 24-year-old completed 6.1 innings, allowing two runs on six hits with no walks and six strikeouts. However, he'll return to Norfolk and will likely remain there until the Orioles require another starter. After Saturday's loss, Povich has a 1-6 record to go along with a 5.77 ERA and a 31:23 K:BB across 43.2 innings.

AUGUST 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled ahead of start Povich was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday ahead of his start against the Red Sox.

Impact 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 year 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.

AUGUST 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will start Saturday versus Boston 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.

Impact Povich will be added to the taxi squad Friday before officially joining the active roster Saturday. It had been Albert Suarez's turn in the Orioles' rotation 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 been terrific with Norfolk and has gone seven innings in each of his two starts there this month.

AUGUST 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sent back to Triple-A Povich was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk following Monday's doubleheader with the Blue Jays, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Impact Povich served as the Orioles' 27th man for the twin bill and drew the start for the nightcap. He was the pitcher of record in the Orioles' 8-4 loss, dropping to 1-5 on the season while striking out one batter and allowing six runs (three earned) on seven hits and five walks over 4.1 innings. The 24-year-old now owns a 6.27 ERA and 1.69 WHIP with 25 strikeouts over 37.1 frames in eight starts with Baltimore this season. He'll look to keep refining his craft with Norfolk.
