Schedule finally eases up; newly acquired prospects assigned to affiliates

Everybody in the majors plays roughly the same schedule by season’s end: 81 home games, 81 road games, 52 division games, 64 more intraleague games, 46 interleague games. But the path to get to those eventual totals differs from team to team. And in the Nationals’ case, there’s been a distinct difference to the 2024 schedule to date: Way more road
CLEVELAND - Gregory Soto thought he ruined his chance. Fire a pitch too close to Gunnar Henderson and forget about playing for the Orioles. The anecdote is more amusing when told in front of his locker in the visiting clubhouse at Progressive Field, where the Orioles played the Guardians last night. Soto was acquired from the Phillies last Friday f
When Coby Mayo came out of Triple-A Norfolk’s game tonight in Charlotte in the bottom of the eighth inning, it wasn’t just to empty the Tides’ bench in an 18-10 win. Mayo is joining the Orioles in Cleveland, according to two industry sources. The trade deadline passed and the Orioles made the call to Mayo, the No. 3 prospect in the organization per
CLEVELAND – Trevor Rogers walked into the visiting clubhouse at Progressive Field this afternoon with bags in hand and met his new teammates, manager and staff. The plan called for some small talk and heavy preparation for his first start with the Orioles. The time to get acclimated was scarce. Save it for later. “Those things happen,” Brandon Hyde
After a homestand during which they went 4-3, added seven players to their 26-man roster via trades, added two starting pitchers, recalled Jackson Holliday and lost Jordan Westburg to a fractured right hand, the O's hit the road tonight.

CLEVELAND - The Orioles held their usual pitchers and hitters meetings prior to the first game of a series. Name tags would have been a smart idea. Starter Trevor Rogers and outfielders Eloy Jiménez and Austin Slater were activated early this afternoon, and infielder Livan Soto was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk. The Orioles optioned outfielder Hes
CLEVELAND – The Orioles made a series of roster moves this afternoon leading into their four-game series against the Guardians at Progressive Field.

The Orioles this morning announced that they have signed their top draft pick, University of North Carolina outfielder Vance Honeycutt, taken No. 22 overall in round one. Today is the final day for clubs to sign 2024 MLB Draft selections. According to MLB.com’s Jim Callis, Honeycutt signed a $4 million dollar bonus. The listed slot amount for the N
PHOENIX – In his 16 seasons as Nationals general manager, Mike Rizzo has found himself on both ends of the trade deadline spectrum. He’s been a buyer many times. He’s been a seller with some frequency as well. He’s even had a few quiet Julys when he could stand pat and play out the rest of the season. But he’s become way too familiar with the selli
It’s been said that “baseball is a game of inches.” Sometimes it’s less than that. To hear Orioles outfielder Colton Cowser tell it, a ½ inch is making a difference for him. He cites two things that have helped turn his bat around. He is raking now with a 13-game hitting streak since the All-Star game. A nice mental reset at the break helped and so
