Two games into the 2024 season won’t allow for an Orioles lineup pattern to develop. Much too soon for that. What we did learn yesterday is that Jordan Westburg is projected to play a lot more barring a horrendous slump that would send him to the bench or the minors. Westburg went from designated hitter on Opening Day against left-hander Patrick Sa
CINCINNATI – The Nationals got major contributions from a number of young building blocks this afternoon, whether in the form of Trey Lipscomb’s solid all-around play in his major league debut, CJ Abrams’ three walks and three steals and triple or Keibert Ruiz’s latest clutch homer. But when they needed one last contribution to pull off a rousing,
Corbin Burnes raised the bar to ridiculous heights on Opening Day by retiring 18 of 19 batters and striking out 11, a club record for an Orioles debut. Grayson Rodriguez could have wilted from the challenge this afternoon, questioning his ability to live up to the standard set by Burnes. Instead, he grabbed it with both hands and did chin-ups. Inti
The Orioles (1-0) host the Los Angeles Angels (0-1) today at Oriole Park, looking for their first 2-0 start since they began the 2021 season going 3-0.

Kyle Bradish and Félix Bautista slipped on backpacks this morning and left the ballpark for their flights to Sarasota, where they can keep rehabbing at the complex. Bradish threw a 35-pitch bullpen session yesterday at Camden Yards. He used all of his pitches after being limited early to his fastball following his diagnosis in January of a sprained

CINCINNATI – And now the grind begins. With the hoopla of Opening Day – and the traditional just-in-case-of-rainout off-day – now behind them, the Nationals and Reds get down to business. There will be fewer fans and media in attendance. Things won’t be magnified as much. It’s just another ballgame today. Except for Trey Lipscomb, who makes his maj
Reliever Jacob Webb was reinstated from the paternity list this morning after the birth of daughter Hudson, and the Orioles optioned left-hander Nick Vespi to Triple-A Norfolk. The Orioles play their second game of the season this afternoon with Gunnar Henderson leading off again. Ryan O’Hearn is the designated hitter and Jordan Westburg is playing
