All of the same questions came at the Orioles earlier today as local media detached from the team during the road trip got to take turns. Any player approaching his locker was fair game. What’s wrong and can it be fixed? What’s the mood in the clubhouse? What’s the level of frustration? Is anyone panicked? Should everyone be panicked? The Orioles i
Already possessing an impressive 9-6 record at home against high-quality opponents, the Nationals entered today’s finale against the Mets looking to put the cherry on top of an encouraging homestand. With two dramatic, come-from-behind wins over the weekend, they had already secured at least a split of this four-game, wraparound series. But one mor
The Orioles couldn’t make it to first pitch without diving back into their injured list. It’s becoming a daily exercise. Catcher Gary Sánchez, hit twice by pitches yesterday, went on the 10-day injured list with right wrist inflammation. Infielder Jordan Westburg went on the 10-day IL retroactive to yesterday with a left hamstring strain. Sánchez,
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde confirmed that veteran right-hander Kyle Gibson will start Tuesday night against the Yankees. Gibson hasn’t pitched since April 20 at High-A Aberdeen. He experienced some back soreness but is feeling better. The rotation could use a veteran hand steering it in the right direction. The unit’s 5.83 ERA is last in the Amer
The Nationals are looking to win three of four games against the Mets, the hottest team in baseball. To do so in Monday’s late afternoon finale of this four-game wraparound series, manager Davey Martinez is trotting all four of his outfielders into the starting lineup. James Wood will serve as the designated hitter against Mets starter Griffin Cann
There have been countless conversations about what is plaguing the Baltimore Orioles. Of course, a league-leading 5.37 ERA as a staff doesn’t help their 10-17 record, but those problems are easier to pinpoint. The pitching woes can be chalked up to injuries to both key pieces and depth arms, combined with slow starts of healthy pitchers. What is
Adley Rutschman and Cedric Mullins return to the Orioles’ lineup tonight in the series opener against the Yankees at Camden Yards. Jordan Westburg remains out with a sore hamstring. Heston Kjerstad is in right field and Ramón Laureano is in left. Ryan O’Hearn is the designated hitter. Ramón Urías gets another start at third base, with Jackson Holli
After two dramatic come-from-behind victories over the weekend, the Nationals are now in position to win three out of four games against the Mets, who entered this series with the best record in the majors while riding a seven-game winning streak. On a picture-perfect afternoon in the District, the offense will look to score enough runs early so la
DETROIT – Orioles manager Brandon Hyde doesn’t know whether he can count on Adley Rutschman for tonight’s series opener against the Yankees. The catcher’s swollen right hand makes it hard for Hyde to write his name in the lineup. Jordan Westburg can add his hamstring to the list of reasons why he’s described as “banged up.” Cedric Mullins has sinus
As much as the spotlight shone on the position players whose late offensive exploits helped the Nationals turn a six-run deficit into a thrilling, one-run win over the Mets on Sunday, Davey Martinez went out of his way early in his postgame press conference to praise his starting pitcher who departed with his team trailing 7-1. “Look, say what you
