MIAMI – The Nationals’ fears from last night were realized this morning following CJ Abrams’ MRI on his right hip. The examination revealed the young shortstop has a right hip flexor strain, forcing him to the 10-day injured list. “After last night, he got an MRI today and it showed a slight strain,” manager Davey Martinez announced to start his pr

The Orioles haven’t confirmed their rotation plans beyond left-hander Cade Povich on Sunday. However, the need for a fifth starter next Saturday apparently won’t tempt them to call up Kyle Gibson. Gibson has made one start with Triple-A Norfolk and allowed one run in 3 1/3 innings. “He’s gonna need a little more time,” said manager Brandon Hyde. “D

The Washington Nationals recalled infielder Nasim Nuñez from Triple-A Rochester and placed shortstop CJ Abrams on the 10-day Injured List with a right hip flexor strain on Saturday. Nationals President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo made the announcement. A Rule-5 pick in 2024, Nuñez, 24, spent all of last season on the Natio

Tomoyuki Sugano will be decked out in the all-orange uniform, last worn by the Orioles on Aug. 13, 2010, for today’s home debut against the Blue Jays. Sugano faced the Blue Jays in his first major league game and allowed two runs in four innings before exiting with cramping in both hands.

MIAMI – After a wild, come-from-behind victory to start the series, the Nationals will be looking to jump ahead early in this afternoon’s contest against the Marlins. In order to do so, they have a tough challenge ahead of them in Miami ace Sandy Alcantara. The former Cy Young Award winner has made two starts this season after missing all of 2024 w

MIAMI – When Josh Bell returned to the Nationals this offseason, he knew he was being brought in to mainly do one thing: hit for power. Yes, Bell had played a lot of first base throughout his previous nine years in the major leagues, including the 1 ½ seasons during his first stint in Washington. But the Nats had already acquired Nathaniel Lowe, a

A reset is nice, but the Orioles are ready to start playing again after an off-day and rainout. The forecast was miserable last night and left the club with no choice except to reschedule. The extended break should end today. The Orioles keep attracting more questions only 13 games into the season. Here are three random selections: What’s happening

MIAMI – After a very successful homestand during which they went 4-2 against two contenders in the Diamondbacks and Dodgers, the Nationals have embarked on their first extended road trip of the season against teams with lower expectations. The 10-day trip started tonight against the Marlins, who the Nats beat 11 times in 13 games last season. And w

MIAMI – The Nationals rotation is set for this weekend, with Mitchell Parker, Trevor Williams and MacKenzie Gore lined up to face the Marlins. Then, Jake Irvin will be ready to start Monday’s series opener in Pittsburgh. But by Tuesday, manager Davey Martinez will need a fifth starter. That fifth spot was reserved for Michael Soroka, the right-hand

MIAMI – The Nationals have embarked on their first extended road trip of the season after only playing one series away from the friendly confines of Nats Park. That series resulted in a three-game sweep at the hands of the Blue Jays in Toronto, so the Nats will be looking for better results over the next 10 days in Miami, Pittsburgh and Colorado. F
