The Orioles need a reset, which makes the timing ideal for today’s break in the schedule. They’ve fallen three games below .500 for the first time since being 41-44 on July 8, 2022. Top two starters Zach Eflin and Grayson Rodriguez are on the 15-day injured list. Reliever Albert Suárez is on the 60-day injured list. Shortstop Gunnar Henderson has r

They dug themselves into an immediate, four-run hole, then managed to claw their way back and take the lead for a while. That the Nationals even found themselves in this position, setting up the possibility of a series sweep of the Dodgers and a five-game winning streak, was a remarkable turn of events in the season’s second week. And it would’ve b

PHOENIX – Ahead of Zac Gallen’s start for the Diamondbacks on Monday, Brandon Hyde described this series as “a test” for his Orioles lineup from a discipline standpoint. Baltimore couldn’t chase off the edges, or they’d be in for a long start to the week.  On Monday, the O’s passed that test with flying colors.  Gallen was knocked out of the game a

PHOENIX – The Orioles have had key injuries just about everywhere.  Superstar Gunnar Henderson is gearing up to play just his sixth game of the season and has not yet overlapped with Rookie of the Year runner-up Colton Cowser. Jordan Westburg has been dealing with minor injuries and has been given some days off.  Amid some challenges in finding a r

If Jacob Young was going to lose playing time this season, it figured to be in favor of Robert Hassell III, the Nationals prospect who seemed on the cusp of debuting in the big leagues following a great spring. Two weeks in, though, Young has lost playing time. Not because of Hassell, but because of Alex Call. Call today finds himself in the Nats l

The Orioles placed starter Zach Eflin on the 15-day injured list with a right lat strain and recalled reliever Colin Selby, who was on the taxi squad last night in Arizona. Eflin has made three quality starts in his three outings this season and allowed six runs in 18 innings. Two off-days could prevent the Orioles from needing a fifth starter unti

The Orioles have made the following roster moves: Recalled RHP Colin Selby from Triple-A Norfolk.Placed RHP Zach Eflin (right lat strain) on the 15-day Injured List, retroactive to April 8.

The last time the Nationals swept the Dodgers? That would be August 2008, when they won three straight behind the pitching efforts of John Lannan, Tim Redding and Collin Balester. Yeah, it’s been a while. They’ve got a chance to do the unthinkable this afternoon when they take the field for the series finale, looking to keep up the positive momentu

Orlando Ribalta couldn’t believe his good luck. He had just gotten Austin Barnes to pop up a bunt right back to the mound, and all the Nationals reliever had to do was catch it for the easy out. And then the ball somehow fell to the ground. At which point Ribalta realized this might actually work out better for him, because now he had an easy doubl
