It’s been a brutally hot summer here, but it hasn’t rained all that much. At least, not enough to have a major impact on Nationals games. That may change over the next three days, with what’s left of Hurricane Debby making its way up the coast and projected to impact the region from later this evening through sometime Friday. The Nats already annou

The Orioles made a move today to address their infield depth. A source confirmed that J.D. Davis has signed a minor league deal. The Yankees released him last week. No, he can’t pitch. Davis, 31, is a right-handed hitter with a career .257/.340/.425 line in eight major league seasons. He’s hit 72 home runs, including 22 with the Mets in 2019 and 18

The ball went soaring off James Wood’s bat and made a beeline for left-center field at Nationals Park, clearing the wall and clearing the red seats that reside in that one area of the stadium, finally coming back to earth at the picnic tables stationed behind the seats. It’s the kind of territory only a handful of players have ever reached in an ac

TORONTO - The Orioles rotation began play last night with a 3.83 ERA and that ranked as third-best rotation ERA in the American League. That is a solid placing but how long can a rotation stay there when it keeps taking hits? Kyle Bradish made just eight starts this year. John Means made four and Tyler Wells made just three. Recent trades brought r

I’m using flashcards to learn the names of the new players. My family is quizzing me. Their first question: How did we get stuck doing this? For me it's like, is that Austin Slater? No? Oh, hey Blake Hunt. Is that Seranthony Domínguez? Nope? I was gonna say Gregory Soto. I swear. One thing that never changes is my mailbag except for the weight of i

It’s not exactly the way anyone wants this to go, but the Nationals are developing a penchant for surviving disastrous first innings from their starters and finding ways to come back and win at the end of the night. A sustainable formula for long-term success? No. But they’ll take what they can get right now, and they’ll gladly take tonight’s 11-5

Grayson Rodriguez is likely going on the injured list again and the Orioles should be dizzy from heads spinning at the number of health issues striking this team. Rodriguez was scratched from tonight’s start in Toronto after warming, and an explanation came halfway through the game. He’s experiencing right lat/teres discomfort. If it sounds familia

TORONTO – The Orioles' new-look rotation, which recently added righty Zach Eflin and lefty Trevor Rogers via trade, has lost another player tonight. Just minutes before first pitch of the series-opener at Rogers Centre between the Orioles and Toronto Blue Jays, the team announced that right-hander Grayson Rodriguez was scratched from tonight’s star

TORONTO – The Orioles split a four-game series at Cleveland that ended Sunday. Tonight, their three-city, 10-game road trip continues with the opener of a three-game series at Rogers Centre in Toronto. The Orioles scored 16 runs on 30 hits and went 12-for-31 with runners in scoring position in wins Saturday and Sunday at Cleveland. They have scored

TORONTO – Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg has not played since he was hit by a pitch July 31 against Toronto and suffered a fractured right hand. With the O’s set to play the Blue Jays again, this time north of the border, Westburg was quite upbeat today about making it back to the Orioles before the regular season winds down. “It’s hard to tell.
