Dylan Crews’ return tonight from the 60-day injured list is a major development for the Nationals, and his performance over the next six weeks is one of the team’s most important storylines down the stretch of what has been an incredibly depressing season. But in some ways, there’s just as much intrigue today to the flip side of Crews’ return. Some

The Orioles complete their latest homestand this afternoon against the Mariners and fly to Houston for a three-game series, followed by two in Boston. The roster will change again before they make it back home. Count on it. My mailbag also changes with each massive dump. And this is probably a good place to stop, but let’s keep going.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – This road trip started off well for the Nationals, who won two of three in San Francisco over the weekend. Alas, now they find themselves needing a win this afternoon to avoid a sweep in Kansas City. How quickly things change. The Nats have been hitting on the trip.

The Orioles gave up on wondering what else could go wrong a long time ago. Their luck wasn’t going to change for the better. A horseshoe would come from the thoroughbred that trampled them. Shortstop Gunnar Henderson, starter Grayson Rodriguez and reliever Andrew Kittredge didn’t break camp with the team, and that should have provided a hint. The 2
