SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles reduced their camp roster to 38 players today by optioning reliever Jimmy Yacabonis to Triple-A Norfolk.

He walked five batters and struck out seven. Showalter intended to meet with his starting pitchers before announcing the opening day starter, news that should arrive on Friday....

SARASOTA, Fla. - His new assignment as an analyst on Orioles broadcasts on 105.7 The Fan won't be the only reason for former second baseman Brian Roberts to come back to Camden Yards over the summer. Roberts has been elected to the Orioles Hall of Fame and will inducted prior to the Aug. 11 game against the Red Sox. The 50th overall pick in the 1999 amateur draft out of the University of South Carolina, Roberts spent 13 seasons with the Orioles and batted .278/.349/.412 with 351 doubles, 35...

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Perhaps the most difficult roster question the Nationals face in the final days of spring training is how to fill in the final vacancies in their bullpen. It doesn't help that more vacancies have opened up during the course of the spring. Koda Glover's recurring shoulder woes and now Joaquin Benoit's forearm strain have created some openings that might not previously have existed. Not that there's an easy answer to this quandary. Let's begin with the bullpen slots...

SARASOTA, Fla. - Because Alex Cobb won't be able to break camp with the Orioles, his signing this week doesn't do much to clear up the pitching picture as opening day approaches. A fifth starter is needed, same as before. It wasn't going to be José Mesa Jr., designated for assignment yesterday, and Hunter Harvey was more of a temptation than a realistic consideration. Does Cobb actually increase the chances of Rule 5 pick Nestor Cortes Jr. making the club and staying with it? The Orioles...

TAMPA - Orioles manager Buck Showalter will wait until Thursday morning to make his next round of cuts. The roster currently holds 39 players. Miguel Castro's struggles continued tonight with five runs (four earned) and five hits allowed over three innings. He also walked three batters and threw 66 pitches, 38 for strikes, in a 9-4 loss to the Yankees. "I felt well despite the results," Castro said via translator Ramón Alarcón. "I thought I was trying to make good pitches. Some...

For 22-year-old right-hander Cody Sedlock, the 2018 season provides a chance to show he's healthy and a chance to get back to pitching well again. Taken by the Orioles with their top selection - the No. 27 overall pick - in the First-Year Player Draft in 2016, Sedlock had a solid debut that summer. He pitched to an ERA of 3.00 at short-season Single-A Aberdeen. When the Orioles sent him to Single-A Frederick to start last season - bypassing Single-A Delmarva - big things were expected out of...

Nationals prospect Tomas Alastre, a 19-year-old right-hander has been bestowed accolades courtesy of MiLB.com, making its top under-21 prospect list. "He's an interesting kid," said Nationals pitching coordinator Paul Menhart. "Well beyond his years. He's got the feel for three pitches. Tall, lanky, leverage-type pitcher. He throws the fastball, curveball and changeup." The Nationals have been impressed with how quickly Alastre has picked up English as a second language through their...
