Orioles' Danny Coulombe: Nabs second win
Rotowire
Coulombe (2-1) retired the only batter he faced to earn the win Sunday over the Rangers.
Coulombe got Nathaniel Lowe to fly out to end the top of the eighth inning before the Orioles pulled ahead a half-inning later. This was Coulombe's sixth straight scoreless outing, a span in which he's covered 5.2 innings with an 8:1 K:BB. The southpaw seems to have bounced back from his rough patch in early May. He's now at a 2.37 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 27:4 K:BB through 19 innings while adding eight holds and two blown saves. He remains in the setup mix as part of the bridge to closer Felix Bautista.

Orioles' Danny Coulombe: Takes loss Saturday
Rotowire
Coulombe (1-1) allowed a run on two hits in two-thirds of an inning Saturday versus Atlanta, taking the loss and a blown save. He didn't walk or strike out a batter.
After emerging as a solid middle-relief option in April, Coulombe has blown two leads in two appearances to begin May. Bryan Baker left a runner on base with one out in the eighth inning, and Coulombe served up a two-run home run to pinch hitter Kevin Pillar. For the season, Coulombe is at a 3.00 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB across 12 innings, and he's picked up five holds. Despite the recent slump, he should still be part of the bridge to closer Felix Bautista when the Orioles are holding leads late.

Twins' Danny Coulombe: Won't make Opening Day roster
Rotowire
Coulombe was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Twins on Sunday.
Coulombe will not be a part of Minnesota's pitching staff to open the 2023 season. The 33-year-old southpaw did pitch well in the Grapefruit League with a 0.00 ERA over seven innings in six appearances, but he comes up short in his bid to break camp with the club. Coulombe could be an option for the Twins at some point in 2023, but he'll have to be added to the 40-man roster if/when Minnesota decides to promote him.
