James Wood has been making headlines locally all season as the Nationals’ budding young superstar. Today he made national headlines with a special announcement. Wood announced today that he will participate in the Home Run Derby on July 14 during All-Star Week at Truist Park in Atlanta. The 22-year-old phenom became the third player to officially j
The Orioles have made the following roster move: Optioned OF Dylan Carlson to Triple-A Norfolk after yesterday’s game.
You have to give the Nationals credit. After the disaster that was the first game of yesterday’s doubleheader against the Tigers, the Nats rallied for one of their best come-from-behind wins of the season in the nightcap, setting themselves up tonight for a chance to win this series against one of the best teams in baseball. We are one day shy of t
Washington Nationals outfielder James Wood has been selected to participate in the 2025 T-Mobile Home Run Derby taking place on Monday, July 14, at Truist Park in Atlanta. Wood will be the third different Nationals player (2005-pres.) to participate in the Home Run Derby, joining Juan Soto (2022) and Bryce Harper (2013 and 2018). Wood, 22, is hitt
The outcome of Wednesday afternoon’s game had long since been decided by the time Andry Lara took the mound in the top of the seventh. The Nationals were well on their way to an 11-2 loss to the Tigers, a result that felt preordained the moment Trevor Williams was roughed up for six innings during a torturous top of the first.

ARLINGTON, Texas – Another check on the trade interest generated by the Orioles still finds teams targeting their bullpen and All-Star first baseman Ryan O’Hearn. Nothing has changed or should be deemed as surprising. Any club in the market for relievers is keeping tabs on Seranthony Domínguez, Gregory Soto and Andrew Kittredge. The $9 million opti
ARLINGTON, Texas – The Orioles made another series of roster moves today and celebrated Ryan O’Hearn’s election to the All-Star Game. They addressed their latest injury and dodged a more serious one. And they hoped that, at some point in the 2025 season, they might jump off the wave that lifts and dumps them. They had another splashdown tonight a
Their ace had labored through 5 1/3 innings of 111-pitch ball. Their lineup had gone dead silent since an early rally against the opposing starter. And their bullpen had turned a slim lead into a slim deficit, giving the crowd of 16,0965 at Nationals Park reason to believe the nightcap of today’s doubleheader against the Tigers was going down an al
ARLINGTON, Texas – The voting is done. The results are in. And Ryan O’Hearn will get less time to rest at the All-Star break. He couldn’t be happier. O’Hearn finished first at designated hitter for the American League by receiving 78 percent of the votes, placing ahead of the Yankees’ Ben Rice. He won the Phase 1 balloting to reach the two-man fina
As ugly as the opener of today’s doubleheader was, there are some saving graces from the Nationals’ perspective. They’ve now got their ace taking the mound in the nightcap. And thanks to six innings of relief from Jackson Rutledge, Eduardo Salazar and especially Andry Lara after Trevor Williams was knocked out early, they’ve got all of their top bu
