The Orioles have made the following roster move: RHP Roansy Contreras claimed off waivers by the Colorado Rockies.

The Nationals enjoyed a much-needed, feel-good Labor Day thanks to Andrew Alvarez, who tossed five scoreless innings in his major league debut and set the stage for his team to beat the Marlins 2-0 and snap an eight-game losing streak. So what does tonight have in store? There won’t be another big league debut, but there will be another young pitch

Three minutes into episode 229 of the “MASN Orioles Podcast,” Paul Mancano and I reveled in the Baltimore Orioles’ 15-7 start to the 2023 campaign.  The Birds had come a long way from the start of the podcast, with shows like Episode 12, titled “What can the O’s get for Manny,” and Episode 66 named “Fill in LeBlanc.”  Gone were the days of Episode

As he grew up and dreamed of one day playing in the majors, C.J. Stubbs never could’ve predicted what would actually happen during his first inning in the big leagues. The first batter of Monday’s game at Nationals Park, the Marlins’ Xavier Edwards, tapped a little roller between the mound and the plate. Stubbs, the Nats’ starting catcher, sprung t

SAN DIEGO – Tyler Wells would have traveled anywhere to finally pitch in a major league game again. The schedule didn’t matter. He waited 17 months. Just hand him the ball and get out of his way. But if Wells could concoct the ideal scenario, tonight’s comeback start against the Padres at Petco Park might be it. “You know,” he said, “getting to do

SAN DIEGO – The season moved into a new month today, the last before the Orioles can board flights home and begin to put it behind them. They will use it to give Kyle Bradish innings in preparation for a normal offseason and spring training. They will keep evaluating rookie Jeremiah Jackson and whether he can be a piece moving forward in a role tha

SAN DIEGO - Ryan O’Hearn has a locker set up on one side of the Padres' home clubhouse and Ramón Laureano dresses across the room. The distance between them can’t interfere with how close they are as teammates. O’Hearn and Laureano were packaged at the trade deadline for six minor league prospects headlined by left-hander Boston Bateman. They walke

SAN DIEGO - The Orioles will stay with three catchers until infielder/outfielder Jorge Mateo is ready for reinstatement from the 60-day injured list. Maverick Handley was recalled earlier today from Triple-A Norfolk to join Samuel Basallo and Alex Jackson. Mateo is a possibility for this weekend in Baltimore. Colton Cowser and Ryan Mountcastle are

Forget about the notion five weeks ago Andrew Alvarez might somehow pitch five scoreless innings in the major leagues. The mere notion at that time that Alvarez might pitch in the major leagues at all sounded pretty ludicrous. The 26-year-old left-hander seemingly had stalled out at Triple-A Rochester, winless through his first 19 starts of the sea

SAN DIEGO – The Orioles expanded from 26 to 28 players this morning by reinstating reliever Albert Suárez from the 60-day injured list and recalling catcher Maverick Handley from Triple-A Norfolk. Tyler Wells will join the team to make Tuesday’s start against the Padres. Reliever Cody Poteet was outrighted and he elected free agency. Suárez made on
