For the most part, the Nationals bullpen has been a bright spot early this season. Not to take anything away from their accomplishments, but this group of relievers quite frankly had nowhere to go but up. Washington’s bullpen posted a 5.10 ERA last year, worst in the National League and second-worst in the majors. So far this year, the Nats ‘pen ha

Rougned Odor has worked in the type of platoon role anticipated after the Orioles signed him in late November. In the lineup against right-handers, which should put him on the bench again tonight against Red Sox lefty Rich Hill. Odor entered yesterday’s game batting .150/.255/.200 with six hits in 40 at-bats. He had two doubles and four RBIs and st

NEW YORK – The Orioles are ready to spring Kyle Bradish on major league hitters. Bradish, 25, will be recalled from Triple-A Norfolk and start Friday night against the Red Sox, according to a source. The No. 9 prospect in the system per Baseball America had his start with the Tides bumped from yesterday to Friday, but he won’t stick around for it.

NEW YORK – Clarity came to the Orioles rotation this afternoon only if TBA counts as a parting of the clouds. Left-hander Bruce Zimmermann made today’s start against the Yankees and exited with four unearned runs in 4 1/3 innings in a sloppy 10-5 loss that completed the sweep. Who follows this weekend might not be revealed until Friday, and perhaps

Patrick Corbin was “pissed” after his last start. He said so after completing only 1 2/3 innings against the Giants on Friday while his ERA inflated to 11.20 and his WHIP went up to 2.561 on the season. So after an extra day of rest and an intense bullpen session Tuesday with pitching coach Jim Hickey that manager Davey Martinez called “crisp,” Cor

After the Nationals wrap up a 10-game homestand with today’s afternoon finale against the Marlins, they will board a plane to embark on a nine-game road trip out west. First stop: San Francisco, to face a familiar foe in the Giants. The Giants just swept a three-game series in D.C. last weekend, so the Nats will look to start their three-city road

In recognition of the tremendous impact Orioles Hall of Famer Mo Gaba had on the Orioles, the City of Baltimore, and the entire Birdland Community, the Orioles today announced plans for the inaugural “Mo Gaba Day” at Oriole Park on Thursday, July 28, as the team hosts the Tampa Bay Rays at 12:35 p.m. ET. On the second anniversary of his passing, th

NEW YORK – The Orioles are trying to avoid being swept today in a three-game series at Yankee Stadium for the first time since 2017. The 10-day road trip wraps up in the Bronx cold with left-hander Bruce Zimmermann on the mound and Ryan Mountcastle still on the bench. Mountcastle was scratched yesterday with neck stiffness. Cedric Mullins is the de

It’s a sunny day in D.C., though still pretty chilly for late April. Not unlike the weather the Nationals will see in San Francisco this weekend. But before they leave for a three-city road trip out west, in which they’ll play nine games in 10 days, the Nats have to take care of business against the Marlins to wrap up this homestand while trying to

Lucius Fox thought it about more in previous games than he did Wednesday night. Yes, he knew he remained hitless to begin his big league career. It’s tough not to see those three zeros in succession listed right next to his oversized visage on the scoreboard at Nationals Park every time he steps to the plate. But he didn’t feel as much pressure as
