ATLANTA - The Nationals don't know yet when Daniel Murphy will make his season debut, but they seem to have conceded it won't come at the start of this week's homestand. Murphy, who has spent the last week playing six rehab games for Double-A Harrisburg, is scheduled to be back in Washington on Tuesday to be evaluated by doctors and meet with club officials. Despite some initial hope he might be ready to be activated by then, manager Davey Martinez suggested today that won't happen. "I...

ATLANTA - It's another scorching hot and humid day here at SunTrust Park, where the Nationals and Braves wrap up their four-game series, the Nats trying to salvage a split after yesterday's dramatic 14-inning victory. To do so, they're probably going to need some effective work from their bullpen again today, though that group was taxed yesterday and has a new face in it today. Tim Collins, who did not appear in the game, has been placed on the paternity leave list and has left town to be...

Today's scheduled game between the Orioles and New York Yankees has been postponed due to inclement weather.

It is always such a treat to have a fellow broadcaster join us to talk about a book he has written. Today it is Steve Physioc of the Royals broadcast team. Steve has been in the professional play by play business since 1983 with the Reds, Giants, Angels, ESPN and now the Royals. With the support of his family, he undertook a long look at the history of Lucca, Italy, and the story-filled history of the place. From that examination came this novel. I have not yet read this book. The release came...

The Orioles are recalling catcher Austin Wynns from Triple-A Norfolk today to replace Andrew Susac, who was optioned last night. Wynns, 27, will be making his major league debut. It's termed "recalled" because he's on the 40-man roster. The leadoff carousel spun in Joey Rickard's direction yesterday, with the outfielder and former Rule 5 pick chosen to bat atop the order. If not him, then who? Manager Buck Showalter has used seven different players in the leadoff spot, with Rickard...

ATLANTA - A lot happened during Saturday's 5-3 14-inning victory for the Nationals. Obviously, Max Scherzer's pinch-hit single and scamper around the bases to score the go-ahead run drew much of the attention and rightfully so. But this game also would not have been won by the Nationals if not for a brilliant pitching performance against a Braves lineup that has been among the most productive in the majors this season. Gio Gonzalez authored another quality start, allowing three runs in seven...

The Orioles continue moving on like a boat taking on water, springing leaks all over. After getting four straight quality starts - a season-high - Kevin Gausman allowed six runs over 5 1/3 innings last night. The defense behind him collapsed with three errors in the sixth, leading to an unearned run. The offense finally scored some runs and hit three homers, but still fell well short. The New York Yankees beat the Orioles 8-5 in front of 32,823 at Camden Yards that included a lot of fans that...

The Orioles made a roster move following today's 8-5 loss to the Yankees, optioning catcher Andrew Susac to Triple-A Norfolk. The corresponding move will be revealed Sunday morning. Caleb Joseph is behind the plate tonight at Norfolk. Austin Wynns is on the bench. Joseph was optioned May 17 to make room for Susac, who is 3-for-26 with the Orioles. Joseph was batting .182/.203/.325 in 24 games with the Orioles, threw out 4 of 19 runners attempting to steal and committed four errors. He also had...
