JUPITER, Fla. – We’ve reached the point of spring training where it’s appropriate to start looking more at results, though perhaps not enough to start reading too much into them. What, then, to make of Patrick Corbin’s start this afternoon during the Nationals’ 11-4 exhibition win over the Cardinals? The left-hander gave up three runs on six hits a

TAMPA, Fla. – While the Orioles continue to evaluate Julio Teheran as a possible rotation or bullpen piece, they’re about to find out how he handles spring training adversity. It finally arrived today. Teheran hadn’t allowed a run or hit in his first two appearances over three innings, but the Yankees scored four runs in the bottom of the first whi

TAMPA, Fla. – Cedric Mullins is getting closer to making his return to the Orioles’ lineup. Mullins exited last Monday’s game with a sore right hamstring after reaching second base in the first inning. He’s hoping to resume playing Thursday against the Pirates in Bradenton. “Feeling good,” he said. “Progressions have been going really well. Been ru

JUPITER, Fla. – It took nearly four weeks, but the Nationals finally made their first round of cuts this morning, removing seven players from their spring training roster, the majority of them young starting pitchers who weren’t going to get the innings they needed had they remained in big league camp. Right-handers Joan Adon, Cole Henry and Amos W

TAMPA, Fla. – Jackson Holliday is back on the road this afternoon, leading off and playing shortstop for a 1:05 p.m. game against the Yankees. Kolten Wong is Holliday’s double play partner. Anthony Santander homered twice yesterday in Dunedin and he’s back in gray pants today, batting third as the designated hitter. Kyle Stowers is in left field an

The Orioles today announced plans for a series of “Countdown to Opening Day” events leading up to Major League Baseball’s Opening Day on Thursday, March 28, when the Orioles host the Los Angeles Angels at 3:05 p.m. ET. Beginning Saturday, March 16, and leading up to Opening Day, fans will have the opportunity to meet the Oriole Bird and Mr. Splash,

JUPITER, Fla. – And we’re back! Yes, after a nice little break at home, I’ve returned to Florida for the remainder of spring training. My thanks to Bobby Blanco (who, inexplicably, is still at the airport in Fort Myers waiting to fly home) for a great week of coverage in my absence. We’ve got some news on this Monday morning at Nationals camp. The

This spring the announcement of the Orioles' Opening Day starter seemed to come earlier than it has most years. But why wait? There were no surprises when manager Brandon Hyde told reporters Sunday in camp that right-hander Corbin Burnes will be first up March 28 versus the Los Angeles Angels. The Orioles acquired their new ace Feb. 1, and he will

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Nasim Nuñez is as relaxed as can be at Nationals spring training. Last December’s Rule 5 Draft pick is already right at home with his new team, often seen sitting at his locker and just hanging out with his fellow prospects Trey Lipscomb, Darren Baker, Brady House, Robert Hassell III, James Wood and Dylan Crews. “It's like a

SARASOTA, Fla. – Orioles third base coach Tony Mansolino carried his fungo bat to the left side of the cage yesterday and began spraying ground balls to infielders. He moved near the stands behind the plate and fired baseballs into the padding to get his arm loose, then threw his appointed round of batting practice. Also the team’s infield instruct
