At least it didn’t leave any bruises. “Man, I got to play catch with a Hall of Famer.” That’s the impact closer Craig Kimbrel makes on his new teammates. Coulombe and Kimbrel worked out together before Monday night’s game at Camden Yards. Tossing a baseball back and forth no longer felt

LOS ANGELES – For the Nationals to win a second straight game here, they were going to have to produce more offense against a Dodger bullpen tasked with pitching all nine innings tonight than Patrick Corbin gave up in his traditional starting role. Neither end of that equation held up its end of the bargain. Corbin again gave the team length but no

LOS ANGELES – Though he’s now on the injured list with a case of influenza that has plagued him for a week, Nationals catcher Keibert Ruiz was at Dodger Stadium today and went through some light drills on the field before tonight’s game. “He’s still a little bit under the weather, but he felt good enough to come out and do something,” manager Davey

The Orioles have placed Tyler Wells on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation and selected the contract of catcher David Bañuelos from Triple-A Norfolk.

LOS ANGELES – There was a lot to like about Monday night’s game from the Nationals’ perspective, from Mitchell Parker’s debut to CJ Abrams and Luis García Jr.’s offensive exploits to solid bullpen work. That was probably the team’s best win to date this season. Which means absolutely nothing going into tonight’s game, of course. The Nats will need

After a 7-4 win over the Minnesota Twins Monday at Oriole Park, in a game in which the Orioles never trailed, they host Minnesota again tonight with a chance to win this series.  The Orioles (10-6) are on a pace to win 101 games, matching their 2023 total, at this early stage of this season. The O’s begin play today 1 1/2 games behind the Yankees f

One night after starting in left field against a Twins right-hander, Austin Hays returns to the bench while the Orioles try to claim another series. Colton Cowser moves from right to left and Hays takes a seat on the bench while stuck on three hits in 39 at-bats. “It’s baseball,” Hays said this afternoon. “Baseball’s tough, it can be really hard at
