Outfielder Colton Cowser and infielder Jordan Westburg couldn’t escape the rain last night at Triple-A Norfolk, where their rehab assignments remained on hold due to another postponement. Cowser got a head start with three games at High-A Aberdeen, but his injury dated further back with a fractured left thumb on March 30. Westburg strained his left
SEATTLE – As lost as they looked at the plate Tuesday night against Logan Evans, the Nationals could not have looked more comfortable when they dug in this evening against George Kirby. As labored as his recent starts against a number of opponents had felt, Trevor Williams could not have looked more in control tonight when he faced the same Seattle
Left-hander Cade Povich doesn’t know whether he’s pitching for his spot in the Orioles rotation. Trevor Rogers can be recalled from Triple-A Norfolk at any time after serving as the 27th man in Saturday’s doubleheader in Boston and tossing 6 1/3 scoreless innings with two hits in Game 2. Zach Eflin, Dean Kremer and Charlie Morton are confirmed for
SEATTLE – Cade Cavalli is nothing more than a minor league pitcher these days, no longer injured, no longer rehabbing, just trying to earn his way back to the major leagues. The way he’s pitching, he’s starting to make a compelling case for a promotion to D.C. Cavalli dominated over five innings today for Triple-A Rochester, shutting out Columbus o
SEATTLE – Tuesday night’s series opener went about as badly as it could have gone from the Nationals’ perspective. Mitchell Parker put them in an early hole, the lineup never seriously threatened to come back and the bullpen expanded the deficit to the point it became a 9-1 rout by the Mariners. So they’ll try all over again tonight and see if they
Orioles pitcher Kyle Bradish is halfway through his bullpen progression and fully expecting to be reinstated from the 60-day injured list by August. Bradish threw a 35-pitch side session on Monday, used everything in his arsenal and reported that he’s “feeling really good.” The Orioles want Bradish to begin throwing live batting practice at the beg
The Orioles’ 2025 season is more than just a disappointment. It’s also a drip. A forecast calling for rain throughout the day and most of the night has threatened a sixth postponement and the third in a week, but the Orioles are hoping to squeeze in the game and preserve Thursday’s off-day. The teams played in a steady shower last night, but the ga
SEATTLE – The only change the Nationals have made to their rotation through the season’s first two months was related to injury. When Michael Soroka strained his right biceps muscle in his first start of the year, they turned to rookie Brad Lord to make six spot starts until Soroka was ready to return from the IL. There have been zero moves made as
Ryan O’Hearn will celebrate home runs and drink from the hydration station like anyone else. He loves barreling the baseball, rattling seats, slapping hands with teammates at home plate and in front of the dugout. But if you want to see him really get excited about an at-bat, wait until a pitch runs in on his fists. “Probably my favorite kind of hi
SEATTLE – It’s one thing to be aggressive at the plate. It’s quite another thing to have so little success being aggressive at the plate and making no obvious adjustment to reverse that trend. The Nationals have often shown that unfortunate propensity in recent seasons, and tonight they took it to new (and increasingly agonizing) lengths. During a
