The Orioles made a significant change in pitchers today, designating veteran Kyle Gibson for assignment and recalling Kade Strowd from Triple-A Norfolk. The door remains open for Gibson to stay in the organization, but he’s removed from the active roster after compiling a 16.78 ERA and 2.919 WHIP in four starts. He allowed 23 runs and 29 hits in 12

BALTIMORE – He’s not in today’s lineup, but Jacob Young appears to be fine after a scary collision with the center field wall Saturday afternoon that left him on the ground in pain for several minutes. Young found out after the game X-rays on his left shoulder were negative, and the Nationals outfielder also passed concussion tests. He’s sore, but

Outfielder Tyler O’Neill is back on the injured list, this time with a left shoulder impingement. The Orioles recalled outfielder Dylan Carlson to replace O’Neill, who was out previously with inflammation in his neck. O’Neill is batting .188/.280/.325 with three doubles, a triple and two home runs in 24 games. He hasn’t played since Thursday and wa

BALTIMORE – For the first time since 2018, the Nationals have won the Battle of the Beltways. Now they have a chance to sweep their first series at Camden Yards since that same 2018 season if they can pull off another victory in this afternoon’s finale. The Nats finally scored early and often against an opposing starter Saturday, knocking Kyle Gibs

The clubhouse was quiet and sparsely populated yesterday, which didn’t hint at a managerial change by the Orioles or other dramatic move. Most of the players were on the field, and confirmation came later with media access delayed by the firings of Brandon Hyde and major league field coordinator Tim Cossins and a meeting led by executive vice presi

BALTIMORE – Rarely have the Nationals had the opportunity to beat a team when it’s down. And given his close friendship with now former Orioles manager Brandon Hyde, Davey Martinez probably took little pleasure in rubbing salt in Baltimore’s wounds this afternoon. But there was a game to play regardless, and the Nats made the most of the opportunit

Tony Mansolino carried his own lineup card to home plate this afternoon, decked out in orange from chest to ankles. His first game as a major league manager, and the Orioles put him in an alternate uniform from the early ‘70s. Brightly lit on a dark day after Brandon Hyde’s dismissal. The alternative for Mansolino would have been to stay in his rol

BALTIMORE – Davey Martinez has no shortage of close contacts in baseball, having played with, coached with and ultimately managed with countless figures over the last four decades. Brandon Hyde, though, is high on Martinez’s list of close friends in the game, the two having worked together on the Cubs’ coaching staff for three seasons before eventu

BALTIMORE – Friday night’s series opener here at Camden Yards was one of the strangest games you’ll ever see. And it appears the Nationals’ 4-3 victory came at a very high cost for the Orioles, who just a few minutes ago announced they’ve fired manager Brandon Hyde. Maybe that move was inevitable at some point, given the team’s disappointment to da

The Baltimore Orioles today announced that Manager BRANDON HYDE has been relieved of his duties. “As the head of baseball operations, the poor start to our season is ultimately my responsibility,” said Orioles Executive Vice President and General Manager MIKE ELIAS. “Part of that responsibility is pursuing difficult changes in order to set a differ
