The Orioles are prepared to select left-hander Josh Rogers' contract from Triple-A Norfolk and give him Tuesday night's start against the Blue Jays at Camden Yards.
A corresponding 40-man roster move is coming to accommodate Rogers, 24, who's 2-1 with a 2.08 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in five starts with the Tides over 30 1/3 innings. He's allowed seven earned runs (nine total) and 26 hits with seven walks and 18 strikeouts since the Orioles acquired him from the Yankees in the Zach Britton...
The Washington Nationals reinstated right-handed pitcher Ryan Madson from the 10-day disabled list and placed right-handed pitcher Kelvin Herrera on the 10-day disabled list with a torn Lisfranc ligament in his left foot on Monday. Nationals President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo made the announcement.
Madson, 37, returns to the active roster after being placed on the 10-day disabled list on Aug. 14 (retroactive to Aug. 13) with lumbar nerve root irritation. Prior to...

PHILADELPHIA - The Nationals arrive in Philadelphia one game under .500 with 31 games remaining. The deficit in the division race is 8 1/2 games. But the mood has to be somewhat upbeat after Sunday's 15-0 thumping of the Mets.
The Nats lost the series in New York, but bring their two best starting pitchers to the first two games of the series against the Phillies. The Nats trail the second-place Phillies by 5 1/2 games, having just taken a series from them last week in D.C.
The bad news from...
With Sunday night's 5-3 loss to the New York Yankees, the Orioles were swept four straight and they fall to 37-94. The 2018 Orioles are closing in on becoming the third team in club history, which dates to 1954, to lose 100 or more.
The 1954 Orioles went 54-100 and the 1988 Orioles went 54-107. There have been nine Orioles teams since 1954 that lost 95 or more in a season, and this club is one loss from becoming the 10th.
The other nine teams are on this list:

* This was yet another game that made you shake your head and try to figure out why this team has been so erratic all season. Clearly, the Nationals have the talent to win games like this on a regular basis. Why, though, haven't they been able to do it on a more consistent basis? Or, at least, play just well enough to win some more close games?
Something about these Nationals allows them to...
The Orioles are in the late stages of deciding which players will represent them with the Glendale Desert Dogs in the Arizona Fall League.
The only confirmation from the AFL is that minor league infield coordinator Dave Anderson will serve as manager. The Orioles brought him back to the organization in December 2015 after he left to manage Triple-A Salt Lake for one season.
Outfielder Austin Hays and infielder Steve Wilkerson would make sense as inclusions on the Glendale roster to provide more...
Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy had moments where he showed some improvement tonight, but he also fell behind 4-0 in the third inning. It was a hole the Orioles could not quite climb out of as they lost 5-3 to the New York Yankees, who sweep this four-game series at Oriole Park.
For New York (83-47), this is its first four-game sweep in Baltimore since Aug. 14-17, 2003. The Orioles (37-94) have lost eight in a row, one short of a season high. They have lost 10 of 11, 15 of 17 and 19 of their...
