What's next after Rodriguez is scratched from start with lat discomfort?

Grayson Rodriguez is likely going on the injured list again and the Orioles should be dizzy from heads spinning at the number of health issues striking this team. Rodriguez was scratched from tonight’s start in Toronto after warming, and an explanation came halfway through the game. He’s experiencing right lat/teres discomfort. If it sounds familia

TORONTO – The Orioles' new-look rotation, which recently added righty Zach Eflin and lefty Trevor Rogers via trade, has lost another player tonight. Just minutes before first pitch of the series-opener at Rogers Centre between the Orioles and Toronto Blue Jays, the team announced that right-hander Grayson Rodriguez was scratched from tonight’s star

TORONTO – Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg has not played since he was hit by a pitch July 31 against Toronto and suffered a fractured right hand. With the O’s set to play the Blue Jays again, this time north of the border, Westburg was quite upbeat today about making it back to the Orioles before the regular season winds down. “It’s hard to tell.

Are walks key to Abrams snapping out of slump?

Plenty of hitters have enjoyed long, successful careers despite developing a reputation for being streaky. CJ Abrams may be trying to take that idea to a new extreme. The Nationals’ All-Star shortstop has been through a roller coaster of a season to date, performing at both ends of the offensive spectrum. Abrams posted an excellent .295/.373/.619 s

If you create a short list of Nationals players for whom the season’s final two months are especially important, MacKenzie Gore would certainly be included. The left-hander had a really strong opening two months, producing a 2.91 ERA and 1.278 WHIP in 11 starts. His last 11 starts, though, haven’t come close to that level: a 6.36 ERA and 1.758 WHIP

Sometimes you can "turn and burn" but sometimes "you take rather than rake." When I interviewed Ryan O’Hearn in spring training and we talked about his strong 2023 and hopes for the 2024 season, he knew he may still have some doubters out there. “I’m sure there are people saying, ‘He’s a one-hit wonder or a flash in the pan’ type of thing.

The trade deadline has passed, and what an eventual deadline it was for the Nationals this year. Four key veterans (Hunter Harvey, Lane Thomas, Jesse Winker, Dylan Floro) were traded for a horde of prospects, none of whom are in the big leagues yet. That leaves the Nats with a very different roster than they had a few weeks ago, with some obvious h

Hidden within the madness of the July 30 trade deadline, with its aggressive roster churn that resembled a tidal wave, was the Orioles' decision to recall Triple-A Norfolk catcher Blake Hunt. He made the trip from Charlotte to Baltimore in case backup James McCann went on the 10-day injured list. And the news barely created a ripple. However, it wa
