The Washington Nationals recalled right-handed pitcher Joe Ross from Triple-A Fresno and placed right-handed pitcher Austin Voth on the 10-Day Injured List (retroactive to July 18) with right bicep tendinitis on Sunday. Nationals President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo made the announcement. Ross, 26, was recalled to make his first Major League start of the season on Sunday night against the Atlanta Braves. He returns to the Nationals after going 2-3 with a 4.28 ERA (19...

The day after the Boston Red Sox scored 17 runs, Orioles right-hander Asher Wojciechowski showed us that even baseball's highest-scoring team can be pitched to. Wojciechowski had a no-hitter through six innings on a steamy afternoon and spun 7 1/3 scoreless innings as the Orioles blanked the Red Sox 5-0 at Camden Yards. The Orioles ended a 10-series winless stretch against Boston that dated to September 2017. Boston had gone 8-0-2 in its last 10 series and 19-3 in its last 22 games in...

The pleasantries were held during batting practice two days ago. Andrew Cashner with football in sweaty hand standing behind the cage as former Orioles teammates gathered around him. Today was about beating a friend. Not man-hugging him. Today was about Asher Wojciechowski stating his case a lot louder to stay in a rotation that Cashner has vacated. Announcing it from the top of the warehouse, the heat be damned. Trey Mancini homered twice off Cashner within the first three innings and...

ATLANTA - The Nationals have a chance to take three of four from the Braves with a win in tonight's series finale. They would've loved to have Max Scherzer on the mound for this one, as originally hoped, but that won't happen. They planned to have Austin Voth on the mound, but that won't happen either. The right-hander has been placed on the 10-day injured list with right biceps tendinitis. So it's Plan C, and that's Joe Ross. It's been a weird season for Ross, to say the least. He's...

As Orioles manager Brandon Hyde sifts through his bullpen options, steady roster activity changing names, he can remain confident that Stevie Wilkerson will take the ball anytime. Wilkerson doesn't need much warning. Just a teammate's glove. Wilkerson has joked that he owns 10 of them based on his super-utility status, but he's used a loaner in his two relief outings this month that represent the first of his career. Burned for a season-high 17 runs last night, the Orioles would like to keep...

The removal of Keon Broxton from the roster this morning has left center field available to Anthony Santander and Stevie Wilkerson. A corner outfielder and an infielder are going to share the position. Santander is making his fifth start today and Wilkerson has made 32. They're newbies learning on the fly ball. "Both guys have done a nice job out there when they've had the opportunity and continue to play out there," said manager Brandon Hyde. The Orioles cut ties with Broxton after he...

Needing a fresh arm after position player Stevie Wilkerson had to pitch the last two innings last night, the Orioles today recalled pitcher Branden Kline from Triple-A Norfolk as outfielder Keon Broxton was designated for assignment. Kline is back to try and unlock the key to major league success. In three previous stints in the bigs this year, he is 1-4 with a 6.75 ERA over 20 games. Over his past 11 big league games, his ERA is 10.03 over 11 2/3 innings. "Really trying to get ahead and...

The Orioles have brought in a fresh bullpen arm today by recalling right-hander Branden Kline from Triple-A Norfolk and are going with a short bench by designating outfielder Keon Broxton for assignment. Broxton homered Friday night for the first time since June 4, but he's slashing .204/.261/.350 (21-for-103) with three doubles, four home runs, nine RBIs and 49 strikeouts in 112 plate appearances over 37 games. The Orioles acquired him from the Mets on May 22 for international signing bonus...

The Orioles and Red Sox have exchanged blowout wins and they wrap up their three-game series this afternoon at Oriole Park. The Orioles won 11-2 Friday and lost 17-6 last night as they allowed 10 or more runs for the 19th time. Anthony Santander produced his first four-hit game Saturday night as he raised his average from .280 to .299. He has homered in back-to-back games for the second time this season. Four of his six home runs have come from the left side of the plate, and five of his seven...

The Orioles enjoyed blowout wins Wednesday and Friday when their pitching staff gave up two runs each night. But in allowing 17 runs last night, they absorbed a 17-6 blowout loss to Boston. It was the 19th time that the Orioles have allowed 10 runs or more, tied for the major league lead with Seattle. According to STATS, they've allowed 12 runs or more 12 times this year to lead the majors, with Colorado next with eight such games. They've allowed 16 runs or more four times to lead the major...
