CHICAGO – It hasn’t been an especially uplifting road trip for the Nationals. They’ve lost all five games they’ve played so far against the Mets and Cubs. They lost Luis García Jr. and Jacob Young to injuries. They’ve scored a grand total of nine runs, and six of those came in Thursday night’s loss here. But it’s a new day, so maybe today is the da

The return of another injured player to the Orioles’ roster is costing Coby Mayo his spot. The organization’s No. 1 prospect and Minor League Player of the Year will be optioned later today, according to an industry source. The Orioles haven’t announced the move.

They are a trio of players who took part in Orioles batting practice before Friday’s game. They all hope they will have another chance to do that here later in their careers and that they will be on the Orioles' active roster when that happens.  But Friday afternoon under the Baltimore sun, the O’s first three selections in the 2024 MLB Draft took

The 2024 Most Valuable Oriole will be announced this morning and we’ll find out whether shortstop Gunnar Henderson is a repeat winner. No player has received the honor in back-to-back seasons since center fielder Adam Jones in 2011-12. Jones also won in 2018. Shortstop Miguel Tejada came close by winning it in 2004 and 2006.

Anthony Santander is predictable but never boring. He also knows how to shake an offense out of its slumber. Make loud noises and see who follows. A line formed behind him.

Two teams hoping to play October baseball meet this weekend at Oriole Park. The Orioles (85-68) host the Detroit Tigers (80-73) in their final home series of the 2024 regular season. The O’s beat San Francisco 5-3 Thursday on Anthony Santander’s two-run, walk-off homer in the ninth. When the Yankees lost later they had moved to four games back in t

The Orioles have made the following roster moves: Reinstated LHP Danny Coulombe from the 60-day Injured List (left elbow surgery).Placed RHP Burch Smith on the 15-day Injured List (right adductor groin strain), retroactive to September 18.

Two events today made it clear that the Orioles were preparing for a roster move. Reliever Burch Smith walked to the bullpen this afternoon with pitching coach Drew French, assistant Mitch Plassmeyer and head athletic trainer Brian Ebel. He completed a session and returned to the clubhouse, exiting it after the media arrived at 3:30 p.m. Left-hande

Orioles left-hander Danny Coulombe is reinstated from the injured list and available to pitch tonight. Burch Smith goes on the IL with a right adductor/groin strain. Coulombe is returning from June surgery to remove bone chips in his left elbow. Smith threw in the bullpen earlier today with head athletic trainer Brian Ebel watching him. The Orioles

CHICAGO – The Nationals’ primary focus during these final weeks of the season surely is on the bevy of young players they’ve added to the roster this summer, many of whom they believe will form the core of their next winning ballclub.
