BOSTON - The Red Sox flip-flopped starters for today’s doubleheader, using the rainout to move Brayan Bello ahead of Lucas Giolito. The Orioles are sticking with left-hander Cade Povich for Game 1 but haven’t committed to a starter for the nightcap. Charlie Morton was listed for tonight before the weather forced a fourth postponement. He could get
It would’ve been a bit too easy had the Nationals simply closed out tonight’s game without any bullpen drama. So they decided to make their fifth consecutive win a bit more exciting. Despite Kyle Finnegan’s blown save in the top of the ninth – one made possible by a José Tena fielding error – the Nats came back to walk off the Braves on Amed Rosari
A doctor’s review of the MRI taken on Dylan Crews confirmed the club’s initial diagnosis of a left oblique strain, but manager Davey Martinez could not offer anything resembling a timetable for the Nationals rookie to return. Crews, who already had been dealing with a sore lower back and left side for about a week, experienced additional pain on a
Due to planned activity in Washington, D.C., the start time for the Saturday, June 14, game between the Washington Nationals and Miami Marlins has been moved up to 1:05 p.m. from 4:05 p.m.
Let’s give this another try, shall we? After Wednesday night’s game was rained out, the Nationals and Braves will attempt to play their series finale as scheduled this evening, though there is again some rain in the forecast (more so early than late, so that should hopefully help matters). It’s the same pitching matchup that was supposed to take th
BOSTON – With rain in the forecast throughout the day and night, the Orioles must endure their fourth postponement of the 2025 season. Makes it harder to carry the momentum from yesterday’s 11-inning win in Milwaukee. The Orioles and Red Sox will play a split doubleheader on Friday, with Game 1 at 1:35 p.m. and Game 2 at 7:10 p.m. Both teams get a
The Nationals are promoting their top prospect up a level in their minor league system. Travis Sykora, the No. 1 prospect in the Nats system and No. 61 overall per MLB Pipeline, is being promoted to High-A Wilmington, a source confirms. Sykora dominated Single-A once again following his return from offseason hip surgery. He held opponents to one hi
When the Nationals face the Braves tonight following Wednesday’s rainout, Robert Hassell III will take the field for the first time as a big leaguer. When he looks to his right from his outfield position, he’ll see James Wood. When he looks in toward the middle infield, he’ll see CJ Abrams. And watching from the dugout will be MacKenzie Gore, who o
The Orioles avoided a third consecutive series sweep yesterday. They didn’t fold after losing leads in the ninth and 10th innings. Félix Bautista allowed a run in his fourth consecutive appearance, but hey, at least he was cleared to pitch on back-to-back days. Interim manager Tony Mansolino could enjoy the flight to Boston. The losing streak ended
Robert Hassell III’s major league debut will have to wait 24 hours. The Nationals’ newest outfielder won’t complain. Tonight’s game between the Nats and Braves was postponed due to rain in the area, the announcement coming about 90 minutes after the team officially promoted Hassell from Triple-A Rochester and placed Dylan Crews on the 10-day injure
