Gunnar Henderson graduated from being baseball’s top prospect and is favored to win the Rookie of the Year award in the American League. He’ll prep for that honor by walking onto the Camden Yards field before tonight’s game and receiving his Most Valuable Oriole award. Keep ‘em coming.

ATLANTA – Twelve times this season, Hunter Harvey has been asked to record at least four outs. And 12 times, he’s answered the call when the Nationals needed him to do it. In many ways, that’s a win in itself. Given his extensive injury history, Harvey has often been treated with kid gloves, held to one inning, prevented from pitching on consecutiv
As the Orioles get ready to play in the MLB postseason for the first time since 2016 and in the American League Division Series for the first time since 2014, experience in the playoffs is one of the few attributes this team is missing.

After clinching the American League East with a win Thursday night, the Orioles still have three games to play in the 2023 regular season, beginning with tonight at home versus Boston.

ATLANTA – The symmetry wasn’t lost on Tanner Rainey. As he stood at his locker at Truist Park, a member of the Nationals’ active roster for the first time in 14 months, the right-hander couldn’t help but think about the fact he was in this exact same location the last time he was a member of the active roster, before he tore his elbow ligament, bef

The Orioles are starting veteran Kyle Gibson on Saturday and remain undecided about Sunday, which would be Kyle Bradish under pre-clinching circumstances. Uncharted territory for the franchise under the current regime. “We’re still kind of playing with some things,” said manager Brandon Hyde. Hyde isn’t ready to detail how the Orioles are handling
