NEW YORK – First baseman Ryan Mountcastle is back with the Orioles. Mountcastle was reinstated from his injury rehab assignment for tonight’s series opener against the Yankees in the Bronx. The Orioles optioned Eloy Jiménez to Triple-A Norfolk to create space on the active roster. Closer Craig Kimbrel cleared waivers and was released. Mountcastle w

We have reached the final week of the season, and that means six more scheduled home games, all against teams still playing for something. The Phillies, who have clinched the division but are fighting with the Dodgers for home field advantage, will be here this weekend. First up, though, it’s the Royals, who had been among the season’s best stories

Standouts from across the Washington Nationals Minor League system will be recognized as part of a special pregame ceremony on Tuesday, as the club recognizes its 2024 Minor League Award winners.

A simple ground ball single up the middle may never have felt so good to Dylan Crews. The Nationals rookie needed that eighth-inning base hit Sunday in Chicago to snap out of the worst slump of his brief big league career, perhaps the worst slump he’s experienced in a long time at any level of the sport.

It is not going to be the showdown for the American League East title we thought it could be or would be. As the Orioles play the Yankees tonight in the Bronx to start a three-game series, they still have yet to clinch a playoff berth.

I’m saying there’s a chance, but the Orioles are more likely to earn the top wild card and host a best-of-three series with no travel in the first round. The clinc

CHICAGO – CJ Abrams’ demotion to the minors with one week to go in the season seemingly came out of nowhere. It shocked teammates. It confused the rest of the baseball world. It produced an endless supply of instant takes and opinions that may or may not have been all that informed. But when the dust settled Sunday and the magnitude of the move sun

Well, Captain Obvious said that losing five straight late-season series is no way to win the American League East or build momentum for the playoffs. With the AL East now all but gone, the Orioles have one week left to get more at-bats for returning players like Jordan Westburg and Ramón Urías and innings for relievers Danny Coulombe and Jacob Webb

Jordan Westburg’s return from the injured list yesterday pushed Jackson Holliday to the bench. Westburg wasn’t playing third base due to Ramón Urías’ simultaneous return. The setup was cemented. The times are changing, and back to the norm. Holliday won’t be buried but his opportunities to start could be impacted, and especially against left-handed
