The Orioles host the Detroit Tigers tonight, beginning a three-game series that will end a scheduled 10-game homestand that is down to nine games after Tuesday's rainout. The Orioles (6-19) have lost five in a row and 11 of their past 12 games. They are 1-5 on this homestand and 3-9 at Oriole Park for the season. Detroit (10-13) just lost two of three at Pittsburgh and that series included a rainout. They lost a doubleheader yesterday, but are 6-4 since their 4-9 start. The Tigers swept three...

Tim Beckham appeared in the Orioles clubhouse this afternoon after taking his mile-long walk with head athletic trainer Brian Ebel, a smile on his face and carefully measured steps as he headed toward his locker. Undergoing core muscle surgery one day earlier to repair tears on both sides of the groin will shorten a player's stride. It didn't reduce the grin. "I'm not going to be put a timetable on it, but I hope to be playing in extended spring training or minor league games in six weeks...

Here is a rundown on the latest injuries the Nationals are dealing with after 25 games. Nationals manager Davey Martinez put Andrew Stevenson in the starting lineup because Michael A. Taylor is dealing with a sore groin. "He's fine. Little scare with his groin," Martinez said of Taylor. "Did it on a check swing. But he's available today. I just want to make sure that he's OK, so we gave him another day. "It was a cramp. ... I just want him to be cautious and make sure that's all it was....

The Nationals are back after their nine-game road trip and we're back at Nats Park! Paul and I are joined by Jamal Collier of MLB.com on a new episode of the "MASN All Access" podcast to recap the road trip and preview the 10-game homestand, which starts tonight against the Diamondbacks. Ending on a high note with a 15-run barrage in San Francisco, did the Nationals show signs of things to come out west? And what went wrong to lead the team to a 4-5 record this time out?

Mike Rizzo goes into every season knowing there will be unexpected ailments and performances that require roster changes. And the Nationals general manager goes into every season prepared to tap into as much depth as is necessary from his club's farm system. The first month of this season, though, is testing that depth like never before. "It's a grind, man," Rizzo said this afternoon before his fourth-place, 11-14 Nationals opened a 10-game homestand. "Nobody said it would be easy." Well,...

A day after his core muscle surgery in Philadelphia, which repaired tears on both sides of his groin, Orioles infielder Tim Beckham was back in the clubhouse today. He is trying to stay positive and said he's ready to attack the rehab process. He hopes to be playing rehab games perhaps around mid-June, give or take a few days. "I'm not going to be put a timetable on it, but I hope to be playing in extended spring training or minor league games in six weeks from now," he said. "I'll do the...

With Jonathan Schoop's strained oblique muscle healing at the desired pace, the Orioles are hoping that their second baseman comes off the disabled list on May 8 following their upcoming West Coast trip to Anaheim and Oakland. Schoop is flying to Sarasota on Sunday and will play Wednesday and perhaps Thursday in extended spring training games. He's scheduled to join Double-A Bowie no later than next Friday on his rehab assignment. "I feel good. I'm progressing good and I'm ahead of...

Walking into Nationals Park this afternoon, it felt like it had been a month since the Nationals last played here. It hasn't been quite that long, but it has been 12 days since their last home game, and that is a while. They also have undergone quite a few roster changes since then, adding to their air of mystique when they finally take the field here tonight for the opener of a 10-game homestand. It begins with a tough challenge: the Diamondbacks, who on the heels of a 96-win season in 2017...

Craig Gentry gets the start in right field tonight and Jace Peterson remains the No. 2 hitter as the Orioles begin their three-game series against the Tigers at overcast but dry Camden Yards. Caleb Joseph is catching starter Chris Tillman. Tillman lowered his ERA from 11.91 to 9.87 in his last start, when he allowed four runs in six innings in a 4-0 loss to the Indians. He walked only one batter, but also surrendered three solo home runs. Tillman is 6-1 with a 3.12 ERA and 1.121 WHIP in 10...
