SARASOTA, Fla. - Trey Mancini has returned to the field this morning after sitting out yesterday's workout due to the illness that's knocking down Orioles like bowling pins. Mancini is dressed in a t-shirt and shorts. This is a light workout for Mancini, who isn't back to full strength. But at least he made it out of the clubhouse and wasn't sent back home. The Orioles finished their Photo Day obligations and three fields are being used for live batting practice sessions. Ty Blach threw on...

Since he has yet to play at Triple-A, outfielder Ryan McKenna is unlikely to break north with the Orioles to start the 2020 season. But he's back in major league camp for the second year in a row, trying to making an impression and set himself up for a good season. The O's outfield picture is a bit crowed right now, with seven outfielders on the 40-man roster. There are three non-roster outfielders in camp with Yusniel Diaz, Mason Williams and Stevie Wilkerson, who is listed with the...

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - The 21-year-old said what you expect most 21-year-old outfielders to say when asked for their goal upon reporting to spring training. "I come here to make the team," the young outfielder said. "I'm going to fight for my place. I'm going to keep working hard, keep playing baseball the right way. Because it's a lot of new players, a lot of new outfielders, and you don't want to get comfortable on this team. You want to keep going. I come here to play for one spot,...

SARASOTA, Fla. - Tanner Scott is vowing to be more aggressive on the mound this season as a possible solution to his high walk rate. Attack the problem by attacking the hitters. Scott averaged 6.5 walks per nine innings in 2019 and the Orioles responded by giving him the yo-yo treatment between their roster and the minors. He had four stints on the club and totaled 28 appearances, 25 fewer than the previous season. The Orioles optioned Scott late in camp rather than include him on the opening...

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - If it wasn't already clear before, Davey Martinez today made his plan for the Nationals infield this spring very clear. Starlin Castro will get all of his work at second base for now. Carter Kieboom will get all of his work at third base for now. Asdrúbal Cabrera will get the bulk of his work at third base. Howie Kendrick will work mostly at first and second bases for now, but will get some action at third later in camp. Though this new conglomeration of Nationals...

SARASOTA, Fla. - Chris Davis took grounders at first base today on the Camden Yards replica field, fielding balls hit directly at him and later working on gloving them to his side and starting an imaginary double play. He hopped on a golf cart and rode to the main stadium field for rounds of batting practice, getting down in an exaggeratedly low crouch as his new stance before returning to the usual one - and flashing some of his old power with multiple balls clearing the left field fence. In...

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Ryan Zimmerman has been coming to Florida for 15 springs now, during which time he's taken 740 official plate appearances, amassing 43 homers and 136 RBIs, batting .320 with a .955 OPS. Suffice it to say, Zimmerman knows the routine. He knows how much work he needs to feel ready for opening day, and that typically is contingent on the physical state of his body. When he didn't feel 100 percent two springs ago, Zimmerman basically took the entire Grapefruit League...
