Jorge Mateo has his left elbow in a brace and no further updates on his health. Mateo suffered a transient dislocation Tuesday in a collision with shortstop Gunnar Henderson during a 6-3 loss to the Marlins. He needs to undergo further testing but the Orioles are waiting for the swelling to go down. “It was a difficult moment when I saw and felt my
Jordan Westburg and Ryan Mountcastle are on the bench this afternoon and Connor Norby is at second base, as the Orioles continue their series against the Padres. Colton Cowser is in left field and Heston Kjerstad is the designated hitter. Adley Rutschman is catching. He’s 8-for-64 (.125) this month. Anthony Santander, who’s in right field, has hit
We have seen the Orioles go 20-9 this year versus the American League East. We have seen them produce nine straight winning months, the longest current active streak in the majors. Since the start of 2023, Baltimore is 162-102 (.614), and that is the best win percentage in the majors in that span. In the span of four series in June we saw the Oriol
ST. LOUIS – MacKenzie Gore probably wouldn’t have looked at this kind of start – six runs allowed over five innings – and found positives to focus on at any other point this season. But this is where the Nationals left-hander is these days, searching for some good developments to cling to during what has been one of the toughest stretches of his ca
A normal day at Camden Yards would have led the visiting media to Manny Machado’s locker. He would have been the most interesting story. And eventually, I would have remembered that Connor Norby was making his home debut. But mostly Manny. Machado’s arrival in Baltimore, his second in a Padres uniform, is bound to conjure memories of his departure.
ST. LOUIS – They overcame another subpar start from MacKenzie Gore, clawing their way from back from a three-run deficit to pull even with the Cardinals in the seventh. And thanks to four scoreless innings from their bullpen, the Nationals gave themselves a chance to finally take the lead in the 10th. At which point Jacob Young came through with th
The Orioles traded for another starting pitcher and might not be done. The rotation was targeted as an area of need. Surgeries and struggles left them no choice. Grayson Rodriguez wanted to provide the latest example that the top portion is in good hands, and he did it for a while. Corbin Burnes registered his 17th quality start yesterday in Miami
ST. LOUIS – The Nationals sent Eduardo Salazar down to Triple-A on Tuesday, saying they wanted to see the right-hander back in the big leagues before long. Turns out it took only three days to bring him back. The Nats recalled Salazar from Rochester this afternoon, permitted to make such a move because he is replacing an injured teammate, in this c
It's already been a busy day for the Orioles, who have made two trades involving seven players and added two pitchers. But tonight they get back on the field and host San Diego to begin a new homestand. Earlier today they dealt outfielder Austin Hays to the Philadelphia Phillies for relief pitcher Seranthony Domínguez and outfielder Cristian Pache.
The trade deadline doesn’t arrive until Tuesday at 6 p.m., but the Orioles got aggressive today. They found the opportunities to strike and didn’t let them pass. They latched onto a starter under team control beyond 2024 who didn’t cost one of their top prospects. They strengthened their bullpen and added a plus defender for the outfield. The total
