It's hard to believe, but the second half of the season gets underway tomorrow. Of course, every team has played more than half of its games already, but this week represents the unofficial halfway point of the season. For the Orioles, it's been a half-season full of mostly ups and a few downs. The positives include a first-place standing, a 51-36 record, an offense that has already broken one record and could certainly break more, and a bullpen that is one of the strongest in baseball. On...

Center fielder Victor Robles out of the Dominican Republic has been promoted to high Single-A Potomac after dominating at the low Single-A level. While with Hagerstown, Robles hit .305 with nine doubles, six triples, five homers, 19 stolen bases and 30 RBIs in 64 games. He has hit .286 (4-for-14) with a homer and an RBI in his last three games with the P-Nats. In one game last Friday, he went 0-for-0 at the plate with a walk, a run scored and two RBIs after getting hit by a pitch three...

The first half of the 2016 season was full of compelling storylines for the Nationals, most of them positive but not all. The end result: a 54-36 record and a six-game lead in the National League East at the All-Star break. Now the real work begins. The Nats have put themselves in position to win another division title, but in order to do that they've got several issues to address over the remainder of the regular season. Here, then, are five top storylines for the second half ... 1. Can Ryan...

The Orioles will conduct a workout this evening at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla. Their season is inching closer to resumption. Left-hander Donnie Hart may not make it until Friday morning. Either way, he's the latest roster move, the next reliever to spin the revolving door to the bullpen. Mychal Givens is expected to be available on Friday rather than go on the paternity list. The All-Star break and a road series against the Rays worked in the Tampa native's favor. Outfielder Hyun...

As the Orioles look to upgrade their starting rotation during the second half, will they look first at internal options? There are just not many pitchers on the farm right now pitching to a level that is forcing their way onto the roster in Baltimore. But there may be some pitchers worth at least looking at. Odrisamer Despaigne is currently on the Orioles roster and has been pitching out of the bullpen. When he was starting at Triple-A, he was 1-6 with a 3.59 ERA over 12 starts. He pitched to...

The Orioles have announced that Birdland superhero Crush Davis and his English Bulldog sidekick, Samson, will be featured on a unique bobblehead giveaway on Saturday, August 20, when the Orioles host the Houston Astros at 7:05 p.m. ET. Both Davis and Samson will be depicted in their traditional superhero attire with heads that bobble. Crush Davis is based on the alter ego of Orioles first baseman Chris Davis, originally revealed in the 2014 Crush Davis action figure. The bobblehead will be...

Remember the left-handed reliever that the Orioles wanted to bring up before Friday night's game against the Rays? It's Double-A Bowie's Donnie Hart, who is expected to join the team in St. Petersburg, Fla., after tonight's Eastern League All-Star Game. Sources confirmed today that the Orioles will select Hart's contract from Bowie. They already made space on the 40-man roster by outrighting pitcher David Hale to Triple-A Norfolk and on the 25-man roster by optioning pitcher Jason Garcia...

The Orioles and OriolesREACH will host a private fundraising event for Shannon's Fund on Friday, August 19, from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at Oriole Park prior to the 7:05 p.m. game against the Houston Astros. There are two ticket options available for the game: $50 for seating in the Eutaw Street Reserve or $65 for seating in the Roof Deck in center field. Both include the private event and a pregame barbeque, an opportunity to watch batting practice from the Roof Deck bar, a visit from an...
