The Orioles held a team meeting this afternoon to discuss closer Félix Bautista. His loss to an elbow injury. How to proceed. Also, the sensitive nature of it, with one of the team’s most popular players receiving painful news that resonated through a normally jovial clubhouse. “It’s been a tough day up this point,” said manager Brandon Hyde. “Féli

The Orioles are shutting down closer Félix Bautista and placing him on the 15-day injured list with “some degree of injury” to his ulnar collateral ligament, according to executive vice president/general manager Mike Elias. DL Hall is recalled from Triple-A Norfolk. Elias didn’t know whether Bautista would pitch again this season. Too soon to give

MIAMI – It seemed like only a matter of time before the Nationals made another roster move. After Stone Garrett’s injury and subsequent successful surgery on his fractured left fibula, the Nats had a shortage of true outfielders and a surplus of infielders, whose versatility allows them to play the outfield in a pinch. So to add an outfielder to th

MIAMI – The Nationals finally got the monkey that is the Marlins off their backs last night. The 7-4 victory was their first against the Fish this year, and first in Miami since last season. Now they can focus on playing ball and winning a series. Jake Irvin will look to make it three straight strong starts when he takes the hill this afternoon for

The anticipation was high and the crowd was roaring. The Orioles were one strike away from their 80th win and Félix Bautista - their All-Star closer - was one away from his 34th save. This was usually where he blows a fastball by someone or buries a split for a swinging third strike to send Camden Yards into a frenzy. But this time the game did not

MIAMI – Last night’s 7-4 victory over the Marlins was a payback win for the Nationals. It was their first win over their National League East rivals this season in their seventh attempt. It was just their fifth win against the Fish and just their third at loanDepot Park since the start of last year. And it helped catapult them out of the division b

Kyle Bradish is named the starter for tonight’s game against the Rockies, the line moving again while the Orioles wait on Jack Flaherty. No one who is new to the rotation is anticipated at this point. The same crew, one of the distinct differences from the past. The Orioles have used only eight starting pitchers this season, the third-lowest total

MIAMI – It has been 11 months to the day since the Nationals last won at loanDepot Park. It’s also been that long since the Nationals last beat the Marlins after starting this season 0-6 against their division rivals. Those streaks came to an end tonight as the Nats finally beat the Fish 7-4 in front of 12,409 fans. It has been 20 days since Joan A

The Orioles were confused in the first inning tonight. They did not, however, forget that they were the superior team. But also one that isn't immune to injuries. To adversity that can shake them to the core. They did exactly what was expected of them. Beat the worst club in the National League. Freed themselves from the reverse lock. And then they

After the Orioles (79-48) won a series against Toronto – taking the last two games after losing the series opener – they host Colorado to begin a new series tonight. The Rockies are in town through Sunday and the homestand continues Monday versus the Chicago White Sox. Colorado just lost three games at Tropicana Field against the Tampa Bay Rays, an
