MIAMI – The Orioles made a few roster moves to get right-hander Chayce McDermott from the taxi squad to the active roster. He will make his big league debut tonight and get the start on the mound versus the Marlins. To get McDermott on the active roster, right-hander Bryan Baker was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk. To add him to the 40-man roster

The Nationals have not fared well against two teams in particular this season. They’re 2-8 against the Mets, and they’re 0-4 against the Padres. Throw out those records – which obviously you can’t do – and they’ve actually gone 45-42 against everybody else in the majors. Which is not bad at all. But one of these days, they’ve got to find a way to b

MIAMI – It is an interesting lead-up to the trade deadline this time around in the Orioles clubhouse. Interesting in that the players who are being rumored and speculated about by media and fans alike are players mostly not currently in the Baltimore clubhouse. There has been more speculation about prospects a step below at Triple-A and questions a

As Tuesday’s trade deadline draws ever closer, the biggest dilemma facing the Nationals has become crystal clear: Whether or not to deal Kyle Finnegan. Most of the other decisions Mike Rizzo faces over the next six days are pretty clear cut. Jesse Winker and Dylan Floro are here on one-year deals and will most likely be traded for the best availabl

Let’s begin the day by trying to figure out what the Orioles are doing with their rotation. And why. Chayce McDermott was on the 24-hour taxi squad yesterday in Miami and the Orioles withheld an announcement on tonight’s starter. Albert Suárez started last night, and he limped off the mound with assistant athletic trainer Patrick Wesley in the thir

The Orioles are moving Chayce McDermott from the taxi squad to Wednesday night starter in Miami, and they also are summoning infielder Connor Norby as a possible recall from Triple-A Norfolk. Manager Brandon Hyde told the assembled media that McDermott would make his major league debut Wednesday as the new fifth starter. That seemed to be the plan

After a weekend sweep of the Reds that included a series of notable rallies and some long-awaited power displays from a lineup that desperately needed it, the Nationals returned tonight to face the Padres hoping for at least some carryover effect. Instead, they got the exact opposite. During the course of a lackluster 4-0 loss, they did very little

MIAMI – The first game of the Orioles' road series against the Miami Marlins could have started better. A whole lot better.  As the last of the third inning ended tonight, the Orioles found themselves down three runs and two injured players. The Marlins, who entered with a National League-worst 35-65 record, scored four runs in the second to lead t

MIAMI – After opening their post-All-Star break schedule with a series win in Texas, the Orioles road trip has moved back to the East Coast. They open a three-game series tonight in Miami at loadDepot park.  The Orioles (60-39) lead the American League East by 1 1/2 games over the Yankees (60-42) while the Red Sox (53-46)&n
