MIAMI – Stone Garrett had his surgery to repair his fractured left fibula this afternoon, per manager Davey Martinez. The skipper didn’t have a full update on his outfielder’s condition before tonight’s opener against the Marlins but hopes to have one postgame. “He had his surgery today. We have no update yet,” Martinez said during his pregame meet

Anthony Santander broke into the majors as a Rule 5 pick in 2017, playing in only 13 games. He appeared in 33 the following season, again making him a brief teammate of Adam Jones. Crossing paths more than settling into a deeper relationship. Jones was gone by 2019, when Santander hit 20 doubles and 20 home runs to begin his ascension to impact pla

James McCann is catching tonight and Ryan McKenna is in center field for the start of a three-game series against the Rockies. Anthony Santander, with three home runs in two nights, is in right field. Adley Rutschman is the designated hitter. Jordan Westburg is playing second base. Opponents are batting .163 against Cole Irvin this month in five ap

MIAMI – Hello from outside downtown Miami, where the Nationals continue their inconvenient road trip up and down the North American East Coast. After starting north to Williamsport and New York, they headed to South Beach before going back north of the border to Toronto. Rack up those miles. The Nats have been playing great ball lately, winning nin

Adam Jones is retiring as an Oriole. The team made the announcement this morning on a social media post, with the event planned for Sept. 15 prior to the 7:05 p.m. game against the Rays at Camden Yards. Jones spent 11 of his 14 major league seasons with the Orioles, batting .279/.319/.459 with 305 doubles, 27 triples, 263 home runs, and 866 RBIs in

The Washington Nationals and Washington Commanders today announce “Capital Crossover: Diamonds & Gridiron,” celebrating two of the area’s premier sports franchises and most passionate fan bases. The two-game series comprises the Nationals vs. Atlanta Braves on Thursday, Sept. 21, and Commanders vs. Chicago Bears on Thursday, Oct. 5. Both games

NEW YORK – That the Nationals keep winning is remarkable enough. That they keep doing it despite fielding some patchwork lineups in recent days is all the more stunning. Consider the group Davey Martinez put out there Thursday afternoon at Yankee Stadium. With Stone Garrett on his way back to Washington with a fractured left fibula, and with Keiber

He has been so good for the Orioles bullpen this year, but there was a stretch a few weeks back when right-hander Yennier Cano was more hittable. Heading into a series in late July with the New York Yankees, Cano went through a 10-game stretch where his ERA was 5.00 and opponents were batting .368 with an OPS of 1.000 against him. It was then that

Holding a division lead is one of the many challenges facing the Orioles as they get down to the final 35 games of the regular season. Home field advantage is a major perk, but the Orioles entered camp just hoping to make the playoffs. Executive vice president/general manager Mike Elias never set the American League East title as a goal. Clinch a w

Kyle Gibson was fast and efficient for the first three innings tonight. As if trying to recoup the time lost from a pre-start rain delay. And then, it happened. The fourth inning, when the Orioles fell behind versus a pitcher with a career 10-0 record against them. Wins don’t matter until they stand alone with no losses. That’s when they get notice
