Rather than gather players on the field to surprise Trey Mancini with his nomination for the prestigious Roberto Clemente Award, Orioles manager Brandon Hyde chose a team flight to announce the news.
Opinions of Mancini keep soaring like the charters.
To coincide with Mancini's nomination, Major League Baseball is making a $7,500 donation to The Food Project, a Baltimore-based organization that provides cooking, farming, restaurant skills, job opportunities, sustainable food sources and...
Davey Martinez had a follow-up procedure on his left ankle earlier today, and though he was back at Nationals Park by mid-afternoon, it was unclear if he'd be in the dugout to manage tonight's game against the Marlins.
Martinez, who already watched one game from his office following his initial Sept. 2 surgery, has been wearing a cast since. He's been managing all games from the dugout, his left leg propped up on the bench, but he hasn't been able to move around or step onto the field...
Pat Valaika is starting at shortstop tonight in his first game with the Orioles since Aug. 3 at Yankee Stadium.
Valaika had his contract selected among a flurry of roster moves that included Jorge Mateo going on the 60-day injured list with right lumbar inflammation.
Mateo tried to play through the soreness in his lower back and finally had to be shelved.
"Very disappointing because this guy was getting a chance to play in the big leagues, getting regular at-bats and we're moving him around a...
The Nationals avoided the ignominy of being no-hit for the first time Monday night, but let's be honest: Even if it happened, it would've come against a worthy foe in Sandy Alcantara, an All-Star who was in peak form in the series opener. Tonight, they face a highly touted, but far less accomplished opponent in Jesús Luzardo.
Yes, the same Luzardo the Nationals drafted and then traded to the Athletics in the Sean Doolittle/Ryan Madson deal. The same Luzardo who was traded to Miami this...
The Orioles recalled reliever Marcos Diplán from Triple-A Norfolk this afternoon and selected the contract of infielder Pat Valaika. In corresponding moves, the club placed reliever Tanner Scott on the 10-day injured list with a left knee sprain and put infielder Jorge Mateo on the 60-day injured list with right lumbar inflammation.
The move with Mateo frees up a spot for Valaika on the 40-man roster.
Mateo batted .280/.328/.421 in 32 games after the Orioles claimed him off waivers from the...
After an off-day that provided them a chance to regroup, the Orioles take the field tonight to start a three-game series against the New York Yankees. The O's come off three straight losses over the weekend to Toronto by scores of 11-10, 11-2 and 22-7. And now they face a Yankees team against which they won two of three games in New York from Sept. 3-5, allowing just 14 runs in those games.
But after beating Toronto 6-3 on Friday night, the Orioles took leads into the seventh inning of both...

The Orioles today announced additional information for Thursday's Birdland Summer Music Series postgame concert by Grammy-nominated folk-rock band The Avett Brothers, including an opening performance by rising country star Carter Faith, after the 5:05 p.m. game against the New York Yankees. The postgame concert will begin shortly after the game concludes and will kick off with a four-song set by Carter Faith, followed by an hour-long performance by The Avett Brothers.
The Avett Brothers, a...
As the Nationals' season reaches its final stages, with only 18 games left on the schedule at this point, time is running out for any more players to be promoted from the minor leagues and get more than a token opportunity to make one final statement heading into 2022.
Truth be told, the Nats have seen just about everyone they need to see by now, especially in the wake of their dramatic sell-off at the July 30 trade deadline. The current 28-man roster - the new limit for September - includes...
