The Washington Nationals recalled right-handed pitcher Cade Cavalli on Wednesday and optioned Andry Lara to Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday. Nationals Interim General Manager Mike DeBartolo made the announcement. The Nationals No. 6 prospect according to MLBPipeline.com and No. 10 prospect according to Baseball America, Cavalli, 26, will return to th

PHILADELPHIA – The Orioles hadn’t scored in 18 innings and their No. 5 hitter today didn’t produce an extra-base hit or RBI in his first 17 major league plate appearances. The batter behind him began the day with a .213 average and was 2-for-23 since a three-hit game in Baltimore. But post-deadline baseball is meant to provide opportunities with th

There haven’t been a lot of things to get excited about recently involving the Nationals, so perhaps tonight’s game provides a long-awaited reason to feel better about the state of things. Cade Cavalli makes his return to the major leagues, nearly three years removed from his one and only major league start. It’s been a long road back from Tommy Jo

PHILADELPHIA – Tyler O’Neill is wearing a soft brace on his right wrist after leaving last night’s game in the sixth inning. He’s out of today’s lineup. O’Neill sustained the injury while leaping at the right field wall for Max Kepler’s home run ball. He stayed in the game for four more innings and underwent X-rays that came back negative. The test

PHILADELPHIA – Vimael Machín has joined the Orioles on the medical taxi squad with Tyler O’Neill’s status uncertain. O’Neill exited last night’s game in the sixth inning with right wrist soreness. X-rays were negative. Machín can stay with the Orioles for 24 hours without having his contract selected. He hasn’t played in the majors since 2022 with

Cade Cavalli’s major league debut was a major moment for a Nationals organization in need of something positive at the time. When they called up their 2020 first round pick on Aug. 26, 2022, they were reeling from the Juan Soto trade earlier that month and needed to showcase as many pieces of the club’s long-term plan as possible. Who could have im

PHILADELPHIA – The latest count shows the Orioles with 13 players on the injured list. They can get back down to a dozen with Ryan Mountcastle’s anticipated return on Friday. Tyler O’Neill will try to avoid it after leaving last night’s game with right wrist soreness. X-rays were negative. O’Neill has already made two stops with neck inflammation a

As the hits kept on coming, one after another, MacKenzie Gore stood on the mound with a look on his face that suggested anger, frustration and bewilderment all wrapped up in one. The Nationals ace, an All-Star just a few weeks ago, the majors’ strikeout leader just a month ago, had faced six Athletics batters to open tonight’s game. Five of them ha

PHILADEPHIA – A bat shatters, a ball rolls past the mound and into center field, and a pitcher’s fist slams into his glove. Dean Kremer couldn’t predict what would happen next, but frustration was the appropriate response. The Phillies sent nine batters to the plate in the second inning, scored three times and led the entire way in a 5-0 victory ov

PHILADELPHIA – As the Orioles work to get their rotation healthier with rehab assignments for Kyle Bradish and Tyler Wells, they’ve got an indefinite wait on veteran right-hander Zach Eflin. Eflin returned to the 15-day injured list Thursday with lower back discomfort. He received an epidural shot and the Orioles don’t know how much more time he’s
