The Orioles today announced plans to celebrate the Oriole Bird's birthday at the fifth annual Kids' Opening Day presented by Weis Markets, on Sunday, April 7 at Oriole Park at Camden Yards when the Orioles host the New York Yankees at 1:05 p.m. ET. Hatched on April 6, 1979, out of a giant egg at Memorial Stadium, the Oriole Bird became the official mascot of the Baltimore Orioles, and has since delighted and entertained fans at Oriole Park, Ed Smith Stadium, and throughout the community. In...

The Nationals reported for spring training last month with a pretty good idea already who would fill out their 25-man roster. There were only a handful of jobs up for grabs, and even those seemed fairly set in stone, barring something unexpected developing over the course of six weeks in Florida. Well, something unexpected did happen. His name is Jake Noll, and thanks to one of the most unexpected spring training performances in recent club history the 25-year-old infielder is about to make his...

Tonight at The Anthem at District Wharf, the Washington Nationals Dream Foundation highlighted its year-round community contributions during their annual Gala. As the primary fundraiser for the Dream Foundation, the 2019 Homecoming Gala raised more than one million dollars for the Foundation's initiatives focused on academics, the arts, nutrition and sports for children and teens in the Washington, D.C. region. This year's reimagined Gala at District Wharf was emceed by Lindsay Czarniak and...

In another interview with Baltimore reporters yesterday, Orioles executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias spoke again about the long-range outlook he has to build up the talent level organization-wide. When asked about a message to fans that are on the fence about attending games in 2019, Elias spoke about trying to put together a "perennial contending organization." He said he didn't want a one-year wonder and then have the Orioles later have to dig out of another hole. "We...

The countdown is on. We are now just shy of 24 hours from opening day across Major League Baseball. (Let's just forget the Athletics and Mariners already played two regular season games in Japan last week, cause it only makes things more confusing.) After an agonizing winter and spring waiting for free agents to sign, at last we can watch and write about what's actually taking place on the field. If you're looking for our annual Nationals media season predictions, you're going to have to...

The Orioles made it through yesterday's workout without their tans fading or the front office tweaking the 25-man roster. The same group that flew out of Sarasota headed out to the field in stocking caps and hoodies, then retreated to a clubhouse that added new big screen televisions mounted from the ceiling, a leather sofa and a couple of recliners. Feel the cold outside and chill indoors. The final roster moves on Monday didn't include any mention of pitcher Gregory Infante, who never made...

Circumstances and a willingness to try something new, at least to their organization, have led the Orioles to introduce the "opener" to their rotation in the second game of the 2019 season. Nate Karns will start Saturday afternoon against the Yankees in the Bronx, following opening day starter Andrew Cashner and the ensuing off-day. Manager Brandon Hyde provided some clarity to his rotation during today's workout at chilly Camden Yards, including how Dylan Bundy will start Sunday...

When Orioles right-hander Andrew Cashner made his only previous opening day start, his team beat what would go on to be an eventual division winner as he threw a strong game. It was March 30, 2014 when he started for San Diego as the Padres hosted the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Padres would beat the Dodgers 3-1 to start a year when Los Angeles won 94 games and the National League West championship. Cashner went six innings in a no-decision, allowing four hits and one run with two walks and five...

The Nationals optioned reliever Austen Williams and infielder Adrián Sanchez to Triple-A Fresno this morning, all but finalizing their opening day roster with only one final question left to answer: Has non-roster invitee Jake Noll made the club, or is there another outside acquisition pending to fill the last spot on the bench? The Williams and Sanchez moves leave the Nationals with 28 players officially on their spring training roster. Included on that roster, however, are three players...
