Orioles lineup vs. Athletics

Orioles

Left-hander Wade LeBlanc is making tonight's start against the Athletics at Camden Yards, his first in 2021 after five relief appearances. LeBlanc hasn't thrown more than 24 pitches or exceeded 1 1/3 innings since the Orioles broke camp. There's going to be some baton passing, perhaps in the rain. In 10 career appearances against the Athletics, LeBlanc has gone 3-1 with a 4.40 ERA and 1.234 WHIP in 47 innings. DJ Stewart is in right field again tonight and Austin Hays is starting in left....

Orioles recall Cole Sulser, give Trey Mancini the day off

April 18, 2021, 7:22am

Orioles

The Orioles filled the opening on their 26-man roster today by recalling reliever Cole Sulser from the alternate training site in Bowie. Sulser is riding the proverbial shuttle. He broke camp with the team, was optioned to make room for reliever Shawn Armstrong and served as the 27th man in Thursday's doubleheader. In two appearances, Sulser has tossed three scoreless innings with no walks and five strikeouts. He was on the taxi squad. Dean Kremer was optioned late last night because the...

Does bolstered Nats lineup still need another piece?

Does bolstered Nats lineup still need another piece?

The Nationals lineup, as currently constructed this morning, features three guys who hit at least 34 homers and drove in at least 92 runs during the last full major league season. It also includes another guy who hit 22 homers and drove in 86 runs that season, plus one who totaled 63 extra-base hits and yet another who totaled 53. That sounds like a pretty potent and deep lineup, does it not? It does. And yet it still feels like this group is lacking one more significant piece. And that's the...

Game 48 lineups: Nats at Marlins

Nationals

Who's ready for a lot of baseball? I mean, a lot of baseball. Five games in three days this weekend in Miami, eight games in five days when you add the start of the Nationals' upcoming series against the Phillies in D.C. It's going to be quite a challenge, but at this point the Nats have nothing to lose. Might as well try to enjoy it. Tonight's doubleheader at Marlins Park will see Erick Fedde take the mound for the 5:10 p.m. opener, followed by Wil Crowe, who starts his third doubleheader...

Davis hasn't played since Friday due to some knee soreness. Iglesias hasn't started at shortstop since Wednesday due to a sore left quadriceps muscle, but he's come off the bench in the past few games and is 10-for-19 this season with five doubles and four RBIs.
