Anthony Santander saw the board and an opportunity. But who would play? Chess ranks among Santander’s favorite hobbies and the Orioles’ clubhouse is equipped to satisfy it. However, he’s more likely to find teammates gathering at the pool or bumper pool tables. They weren’t inclined to take his cue, as it were, and trade in the rack for a rook. The

Though he hasn’t been lights-out every time he has pitched this season, MacKenzie Gore had shown significant progress from last season in one key area: The ability to avoid letting a shaky start go completely awry. That streak ended tonight with easily the left-hander’s worst outing of the year. Unable to consistently locate any of his pitches, the

TORONTO – Once a very tough place for the Orioles to get wins, Toronto’s Rogers Centre saw the Birds go 6-1 last year, on their way to going 10-3 against the Blue Jays in 2023. The Orioles enjoyed their first visit north of the border this year as well. Austin Hays produced his first two homers of the season and Anthony Santander added a two-run sh

TORONTO – The Orioles, who are 16-8 on the road this year and are 5-2-1 in road series, begin their latest road trip tonight at Rogers Centre facing the Toronto Blue Jays.  The Orioles (37-20) will play four games at Toronto and then four more in St. Petersburg, Fla. against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Birds took two of three from Tampa Bay over the we

CJ Abrams and Jacob Young are once again out of the Nationals lineup, leaving the team shorthanded once again with two regulars dealing with injuries. Abrams, who jammed his left shoulder making a diving play at shortstop Friday night, is sitting for the third straight day. Young, who took a pitch off his right hand Saturday afternoon, is sitting f

TORONTO - Orioles prospect Connor Norby got an important phone call on Sunday. On the other end of the line was Orioles assistant general manager Eve Rosenbaum, calling to tell him he was finally headed to the major leagues. Drafted by the club in the second round of the 2021 draft (No. 41 overall) out of East Carolina University, Norby’s first cha

The Orioles begin their four-game series in Toronto tonight with Connor Norby making his major league debut. Norby is playing second base and batting ninth. Norby had his contract selected from Triple-A Norfolk earlier today. Second base won’t be occupied by Jorge Mateo until he’s reinstated from the seven-day concussion list. Austin Hays is in lef

The Nationals are home again, something that hasn’t happened very much this season. They’ve played only 23 games in their own ballpark to date, the lowest total in the majors. (They’ve played 35 games on the road, for comparison.) So this seven-game homestand against the Mets and Braves is a welcome development for everyone, even if they have playe

The Orioles have made the following roster moves: Selected the contract of INF/OF Connor Norby from Triple-A Norfolk. He will wear No. 12 and his first appearance will be his Major League debut.Recalled LHP Nick Vespi from Triple-A Norfolk.Placed INF/OF Jorge Mateo on the 7-day concussion Injured List.Designated RHP Thyago Vieira for assignment.  

The Orioles could make multiple roster moves today before beginning their four-game series against the Blue Jays. A source confirmed that second baseman Connor Norby and left-hander Nick Vespi are joining the club in Toronto. They boarded the same flight out of D.C. as three beat writers who first laid eyes on them. The 40-man roster has an opening
