Gunnar Henderson, Jordan Westburg, Jackson Holliday.  Three players who were top prospects in baseball. Two of whom were quite literally the best prospects in the game. All were drafted as shortstops.  Even as they developed into future franchise cornerstones, they still didn’t settle into one position. Holliday played second base, third base and s

KANSAS CITY – Having Gunnar Henderson back on the active roster creates a ripple effect that pushes an infielder to the bench. No one is making waves over it. That’s just how it works with a full-time, All-Star shortstop in the lineup. Jackson Holliday returned to second base last night in the series opener against the Royals, and Jordan Westburg m

KANSAS CITY – Gunnar Henderson swung at the second pitch of his 2025 season and lined out to short at 106.8 mph. He didn’t get on base, but he was back. The Orioles are lagging behind with three losses in a row after tonight’s 8-2 defeat in Kansas City. Henderson went 1-for-4 with an infield single in his last at-bat and also committed a fielding e

They finally got the early offense they’ve been craving since Opening Day. They just couldn’t sustain it. Or prevent the game from getting away from them late. The formula wasn’t a carbon copy of the Nationals’ last week, but the final result was: a 6-4 loss to the Diamondbacks that leaves them 1-6 for the second time in the last three years. As wa

KANSAS CITY – Gunnar Henderson wore a hooded sweatshirt and wool stocking cap as he charged ground balls at shortstop during today’s infield drills. The weather at Kauffman Stadium is cold and damp, but he managed to work up a sweat. Henderson wiped his hair with a towel and pulled the cap onto his head again. The conditions are miserable, but he c

The Nationals will wait a couple of days before deciding who will take Michael Soroka’s place in the rotation, with Brad Lord a distinct option if the rookie isn’t needed out of the bullpen before then. Soroka was supposed to start Sunday’s series finale against the Diamondbacks but was placed on the 15-day injured list today (backdated to April 1)

KANSAS CITY – The Orioles reinstated shortstop Gunnar Henderson from the 10-day injured list this afternoon and optioned outfielder Dylan Carlson to Triple-A Norfolk. Henderson is recovered from the strained right intercostal that he sustained on Feb. 27. He appeared in five games on his injury rehab assignment and went 5-for-19 with two home runs.

The Orioles have made the following roster moves: Reinstated INF Gunnar Henderson (right intercostal strain) from the 10-day Injured ListOptioned OF Dylan Carlson to Triple-A Norfolk after yesterday’s game.

And we’re back. After a brief international trip for their first road series of the season, the Nationals are back home for six straight against a pair of tough National League West foes. The undefeated, defending champion Dodgers come to town next week. But first up, it’s the Diamondbacks, the 2023 NL champs. As stated numerous times over the last

The Nationals have placed Michael Soroka on the 15-day injured list with a right biceps strain, throwing a wrench into the team’s rotation plans just one week into the season. Jackson Rutledge was recalled from Triple-A Rochester to take Soroka’s roster spot, but the 2019 first-round pick has made the full-time conversion to reliever, so he won’t b
