Frederick Keys manager Kyle Moore sat down with Paul Mancano in Sarasota, FL.

Paul Mancano and Bobby Blanco discuss Chris Davis' hot start to spring training.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - For reasons both practical and personnel-related, the Nationals' competition to determine a fifth starter will likely go on until the end of spring training. "It's gonna go" on for a while, manager Davey Martinez said. To recap, three right-handers - Austin Voth, Joe Ross and Erick Fedde - are competing to be the fifth member of the starting rotation. All were drafted and developed as starting pitchers, and the Nationals appear ready for one of them to seize the...

As part of their 10th anniversary at Ed Smith Stadium, the Baltimore Orioles came together to celebrate with the Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Over the next two days during this east coast trip, the Orioles will get every position player, except Trey Mancini, into the game either today against the Washington Nationals or tomorrow versus the Miami Marlins. Mancini came out of yesterday's game not feeling well after two at-bats. "He's just not feeling great," manager Brandon Hyde said before today's game. "The right thing to do was leave him back there and not come on an overnight spring training trip. Be...

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Victor Robles again tested his sore side by hitting in the cage today, and with a little luck, the center fielder could be back in the Nationals lineup sometime this weekend. Robles has not appeared in a game since injuring himself on a throw Wednesday in Tampa, but manager Davey Martinez said he's "getting better." With the Nationals off tomorrow, how Robles feels when he reports to camp ahead of Thursday night's game will go a long way toward determining his next...

SARASOTA, Fla. - The first spring outing for Hunter Harvey confirmed a couple of important points. The illness that shut him down in camp didn't hurt his velocity, and high winds are murder on a mullet. Harvey tossed a scoreless seventh inning yesterday afternoon against the Rays, a one-out single unable to leave a mark. Brian O'Grady directed a ground ball into right field and Austin Wynns threw him out attempting to steal. The radar gun at Ed Smith Stadium had Harvey's fastball...

SARASOTA, Fla. - Orioles outfielder Trey Mancini isn't making the two-day trip to the East Coast due to flu-like symptoms that he can't shake. Mancini said he's going to be fine, but advised a couple of reporters to keep their distance from him. He quipped that they didn't want the details. Manager Brandon Hyde removed Mancini after two at-bats yesterday because he "isn't feeling great." Mancini is 4-for-14 with two RBIs in five Grapefruit League games. Rather than take every position...

SARASOTA, Fla. - Trey Mancini, who was removed yesterday after two at-bats because of some lingering effects from his illness, isn't in today's lineup against the Nationals in West Palm. Austin Hays also is sitting out the game, with Yusniel Diaz getting the start in center field. Diaz tripled yesterday for his first spring hit. Hanser Alberto is leading off and playing second base. Mason Williams is in right field. Anthony Santander continues to serve as the designated hitter. Ryan...

WEST PALM BEACH, FLA. - Every time manager Davey Martinez or general manager Mike Rizzo outline their plans for the Nationals bullpen, they include hard-throwing right-hander Tanner Rainey. And with good reason. Throw triple-digit fastballs complemented by a wipeout slider and you make people take notice. But any thoughts that he's secured a position in the Nationals relief corps is definitely news to Rainey, a 27-year-old who has no intention of assuming anything while he battles to make the...
