The Orioles have made the following roster move: UTL Cooper Hummel elected free agency in lieu of accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk.

SEATTLE – Dylan Carlson drifted back for a fly ball today in the first inning and bumped against the fence as he reached over his head for it. The earlier version of the Orioles would have watched it deflect off Carlson and roll away for an extra-base hit as the runner scored from second base. The Orioles who suddenly can’t lose a game secured the

Jacob Young plays his third rehab game with Double-A Harrisburg tonight, after which the Nationals will decide if he needs more time there or will be activated off the injured list, creating a whole new dilemma in their outfield. Young has been out since crashing into the wall trying to make a catch at Camden Yards on May 17, suffering an AC sprain

The Nationals have won four of their last five series, beating the Orioles, Braves, Mariners and Diamondbacks. And tonight they have an opportunity to win another series if they can topple the Cubs in the rubber game of this three-game set. To do so, they’ll need to overcome the dreaded opener. Yes, Chicago manager Craig Counsell is going new-schoo

SEATTLE – The Orioles will go for back-to-back series sweeps today and run their winning streak to six straight games with Colton Cowser getting a rest day and Jorge Mateo playing center field. Adley Rutschman is the designated hitter. Ryan O’Hearn is playing first base, with Coby Mayo on the bench. Heston Kjerstad gets another start in right field

It had been 10 days since Amed Rosario, Nasim Nuñez and Alex Call last found themselves in the Nationals’ starting lineup. That’s an eternity for big leaguers who were on the active roster that entire time but were confined to the bench, keeping themselves ready in case the call came but never actually participating (aside from one token inning in

SEATTLE – Major League Baseball launched its annual All-Star Game voting yesterday and the Orioles pretty much had the expected representation on the ballot. Pretty much. Preseason predictions likely would have put Jordan Westburg at third base, but he’s appeared in 23 games due to a hamstring injury and is batting .217/.265/.391 in 98 plate appear

SEATTLE – The seismic shift in the Orioles’ season has taken them from last call to bars raised. A rotation that ranked statistically among the worst in baseball is pushing its starters to keep performing at a much higher level. The group has registered a 2.11 ERA in the past 10 games, with two runs or fewer allowed in eight. The next man up must s

The narrative had already been well-established before tonight’s game. MacKenzie Gore had been pitching as well as anybody in the league but had only two wins to show for it because of a lack of run support from his Nationals teammates and a few bullpen mishaps along the way. "I wish we could score more runs for him. I hope today’s the day when we

You’re forgiven if you glanced at tonight’s lineup and didn’t recognize three of the names Davey Martinez penciled in for the second game of the Nationals’ series against the Cubs. Alex Call? Amed Rosario? Nasim Nuñez? They sound vaguely familiar, but it feels like a while since any of them saw the field. Indeed, none of those three players has bee
