The Washington Nationals recalled right-handed pitcher Austin Voth from Double-A Harrisburg and released right-handed pitcher Trevor Rosenthal on Sunday. Nationals President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo made the announcement.
Voth, 26, joins the Nationals after going 3-5 with a 4.40 ERA in 12 starts for the Triple-A Fresno Grizzlies in 2019. He struck out 68 batters in 61.1 innings pitched (10.0 SO/9.0 IP), issued 15 walks and allowed just seven home runs in the hitter...
This critical week had been going about as well as possible for the Nationals. They swept the Phillies. They won Friday night's opener against the Braves in exciting fashion. And then ... well, Saturday night's 13-9 loss - which saw the bullpen blow a pair of late leads - obviously put a big damper on the week and suddenly put more weight on today's finale at Nationals Park.
A win today and the Nats would still going 5-1 against two division rivals and make a real statement that they're...
Nationals manager Davey Martinez had no second update on Victor Robles after the center fielder left Saturday night's game due to symptoms of dehydration. Robles left in the second inning of the Braves' 13-9 comeback victory.
Nationals starter AnÃbal Sánchez watched as Robles dropped down on one knee behind him in the top of the second during a Nick Markakis at-bat.
"I don't know what's going on back there at that moment, but, you know, just figure out after," Sánchez said. "It...
SEATTLE - With one negative stat erased - a 10-game losing streak - maybe the Orioles can put an end to a few others today. If they beat the Mariners at T-Mobile Park, they will have their first two-game wining streak since May 4-6. Since then they have had eight cracks at a two-game win streak coming up short each time.
They would also split this four-game series, ending a stretch of nine straight series road losses. The Orioles are 22-55 overall and 13-27 on the road. Saturday's 8-4 win...
The Nationals could not hold a lead against the first-place Atlanta Braves on Saturday in an all-too-familiar scene reminiscent of April or early May, falling 13-9 in shocking fashion.
The Nats allowed 5-1, 8-4 and 9-8 leads evaporate, mostly thanks to their bullpen, which had seemed to regain its footing in June. But the 'pen suddenly retreated to its previous beleaguered state with a disastrous seventh and eighth inning.
The Braves scored nine runs in the final three frames to prevent the...
SEATTLE - As the Orioles look for someone - anyone - in their bullpen to put some consistent outings together, maybe right-hander Jimmy Yacabonis is in the early stages of doing that.
He struck out the side in the seventh inning of Saturday's 8-4 win over Seattle that ended a 10-game losing streak and manager Brandon Hyde called his performance "huge."
Yacabonis' third stint with the 2019 Orioles began when he was recalled from Triple-A a week ago yesterday. In four games since, he's...
The failures that keep flowing to Orioles manager Brandon Hyde as if shot through an open hydrant are made more tolerable by having his best friend to share in the journey.
Hyde is a first-time manager guiding the Orioles through the infancy stage of a massive rebuild. He appreciates the competitiveness one night, including yesterday's 8-4 win in Seattle that ended a 10-game losing streak, and then fumes at the litany of mistakes in a blowout loss.
He walks that thin line between encouraged...
Center fielder Victor Robles took a knee with one out in the top of the second during a Nick Markakis at-bat.
With the count 2-0, Robles went down to one knee and the game was stopped. Following consultation for a couple of minutes with Nationals director of athletic training Paul Lessard and manager Davey Martinez, Robles left the game. Sitting on the field, the center fielder appeared dizzy and dazed as he spoke to Lessard. He was replaced by Michael A. Taylor.
Gametime temperature was 81...
SEATTLE - The 1969 Orioles would not have approved of a 10-game losing streak. So, on a day the Orioles and Seattle Mariners wore 1969 throwback jerseys, the O's threw their streak back.
It ended at 10 games today as they used a solid starting pitching outing and two homers to beat the Mariners 8-4. Seattle was celebrating the year Major League Baseball came to town, although the 1969 Pilots played here just one year before moving to Milwaukee.
The 1969 Orioles won a club-record 109 games...
Ryan Zimmerman went 1-for-1 with a walk in his first rehab game Friday for Double-A Harrisburg. Nationals manager Davey Martinez said Zimmerman and his right foot came out of the game OK. The veteran first baseman has been on the injured list since April 28, missing 48 games, with plantar fasciitis in his right foot.
"A little sore today. But feels good," Martinez said. "Ran first to third, walk, ran first to third, was OK, we will see how he feels today. He's scheduled to play again today...
