Jeremy Hellickson's hamstring strain was deemed to be "mild" by those looking at his MRI, but the veteran right-hander will need to miss at least a couple of starts and thus was placed on the 10-day disabled list today by the Nationals.
The Nats also sent right-hander Jefry Rodriguez (who impressively threw 4 2/3 scoreless innings in emergency relief of Hellickson on Sunday) back to Double-A Harrisburg and put relievers Tim Collins and Matt Grace back on the active roster for tonight's...
FLUSHING, N.Y. - Orioles reliever Darren O'Day and outfielder Colby Rasmus have joined Single-A Frederick tonight for a rehab game in Potomac.
O'Day will work one inning in his first game since hyperextending his right elbow. He's been on the disabled list retroactive to May 6.
The Orioles are hoping that O'Day is ready to come off the disabled list Thursday in Toronto.
Meanwhile, O'Day has officially reached 10 years of service time in the majors. He's a 10-5 guy who can veto any...
After Sunday's rainout and yesterday's off-day, the Orioles open a two-game series tonight on the road against the New York Mets. It is the start of a six-game road trip that will also take them to Toronto for a series that starts Thursday.

FLUSHING, N.Y. - Catcher Austin Wynns is making his major league debut tonight with the Mets starting left-hander Jason Vargas. The Orioles officially recalled Wynns earlier today after Sunday's postponement delayed the announcement.
Trey Mancini is back in the leadoff spot. Danny Valencia is batting cleanup and Mark Trumbo is in right field, as there is no designated hitter in a National League ballpark.
Signed to a two-year, $16 million contract in February with an $8 million club option,...
The Nationals are back in town, albeit only for five games this week, beginning with a quick two-game interleague series against the Rays. Who, yes, are featuring cleanup-hitting catcher Wilson Ramos in The Buffalo's return to D.C. for the first time as a visiting player. Here's hoping he gets a nice ovation from the crowd.
Matt Adams is back in the Nationals' lineup, batting cleanup, after missing one game from a bruised right foot. For everyone who has seen those things take much longer to...

"It was two guys we really wanted the first day," he said. "It was a great first day for us."
Kline said Denaburg, taken with the 27th overall selection in the first round out of Merritt Island (Fla.) High School, impressed Nationals...
If your attention has been diverted from baseball to hockey in recent days, you are forgiven. Hey, this kind of thing hasn't happened in these parts for 26 years. It's OK to get swept up in it.
But if you need something to keep you occupied for the next 48 hours until they carry the Stanley Cup into the building in Las Vegas, you should know this could be an eventful week for the Nationals.
After a tough weekend in Atlanta to cap an otherwise excellent 7-3 road trip, the Nats are back home...
