Major League Baseball will reveal the All-Star teams in the American and National League at 7 p.m. Sunday, and Orioles manager Buck Showalter already has made his recommendations from within his clubhouse.
Showalter challenged the media to pick the deserving Orioles. He wasn't willing to publicly share his choices, but he indicated that he came up with at least four.
"You try to do the right thing by everybody," Showalter said.
"Other than an outing or so, you could make a strong case for...
It has been quite a day for Orioles' first-round draft pick DL Hall, the prep lefty from Valdosta, Ga. He officially signed with the organization earlier today. He made his first visit to Baltimore and Camden Yards and got introduced to the Baltimore media during a press conference before tonight's game.
"It's been really exciting and it is an awesome experience for me and my family," Hall said. "It has been fun getting to know Baltimore. An overall fun experience. This is an awesome...
The MRI on reliever Stefan Crichton's right shoulder didn't reveal any structural damage, the good news attached to his assignment to the 10-day disabled list.
Crichton will go home to Houston for a few days before reporting to the Ed Smith Stadium complex in Sarasota.
"It's the first time he's ever had anything wrong with his elbow or shoulder," said manager Buck Showalter. "It's a little frightening to those guys the first time they have an issue. He felt a lot better about it...
ST. LOUIS - Hello from Busch Stadium, where it was pouring only about an hour ago but has since cleared up. And, if we are to trust the forecasters, it should remain clear the rest of the evening as the Nationals and Cardinals open their three-game weekend series.
The Nats arrive in town banged-up physically and mentally. They of course lost Trea Turner to a fractured right wrist Thursday. They also continue to wait for several key players (Jayson Werth, Koda Glover, Sammy SolÃs, Shawn...
The Orioles have signed their first-round selection in the 2017 First-Year Player Draft. The team has come to terms of a signing bonus with high school left-hander DL Hall.
Hall's bonus amount is exactly $3 million, which is just over the slot amount for that pick of $2,892,400, MASNSports.com has learned.
Hall was taken No. 21 in round one out of Valdosta (Ga.) High School. The 18-year-old Hall pitched to a 1.36 ERA this season. In 51 1/3 innings he allowed 24 hits for a .129 average against...

The Washington Nationals selected the contract of infielder Adrian Sanchez from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, placed shortstop Trea Turner on the 10-day disabled list with a non-displaced fracture of his right wrist, and transferred left-handed pitcher Sammy Solis to the 60-day disabled list. Nationals President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo made the announcements.
This is the first Major League assignment of Sanchez's career, the culmination of 10 years in the...
ST. LOUIS - The Nationals have promoted Adrian Sanchez from Triple-A Syracuse to take Trea Turner's roster spot, rewarding the 26-year-old infielder with his first call-up to the big leagues after a decade in their farm system.
Sanchez, who was hitting .259 with four homers and a .694 OPS in 72 games with the Chiefs, had his contract purchased, a transaction that required a corresponding move to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for him. Reliever Sammy SolÃs thus was transferred from the...
The Orioles have recalled reliever Miguel Castro from Double-A Bowie and placed reliever Stefan Crichton on the 10-day disabled list with a strained right shoulder. The DL move is retroactive to Tuesday.
The Orioles first recalled Castro on May 17, optioned him to Bowie four days later, summoned him again on June 12 and optioned him on Saturday while recalling Crichton.
Because he's replacing an injured player, Castro doesn't need to stay down for the minimum 10 days.
Castro has allowed five...
Baseball is considered a slow sport. All the discussions on how to get young people to pay attention to the game recently are centered around pace of play, but it sure does seem to move fast at times. A week ago leadoff hitter and shortstop was the least of the Nationals' concerns and this week it has moved to the top of the docket. With a 9 1/2-game lead in the division and every division rival looking like a seller this deadline, the Nationals place atop the division is as secure as it is...
