BOSTON – The Jackson Holliday watch is over, and it’s a relief to fans and media. Everyone knew it was coming, but when? The waiting is the hardest part. Tom Petty was right. The Orioles obviously didn’t set an exact date and circulate it in public. Maybe it depended on his at-bats against left-handers and how he performed at second base. A specifi

As it turned out, No. 1 ranked prospect Jackson Holliday starting in the minors was not about service time. As he arrives today in the big leagues, he can still get a full year of service this season and can still get the O's a draft pick if he wins the Rookie of the Year award. And while he was briefly on the farm, he got rolling as a hitter, got

BOSTON – Cole Irvin isn’t afraid to pitch at Fenway Park. He’s actually a lover of old ballparks. Irvin appreciates the history. He wants to plant his feet in the middle of it. And he gets another opportunity tonight. Unlike Corbin Burnes, who made his first career start in Boston yesterday, Irvin is prepping for his second start and third appearan

SAN FRANCISCO – The 2024 Nationals aren’t constructed to win games with power. More often than not, they’re going to need to manufacture runs when presented with the opportunity. Of course, nobody said they can’t do both on the same night, and emerge victorious because of it. Thanks to an early blast from CJ Abrams, some patented small ball late an

BOSTON – The Orioles couldn’t wait any longer. An industry source has confirmed that infielder Jackson Holliday, baseball’s No.1 prospect, is joining the team in Boston.

Gray, who officially went on the 15-day IL today with what the Nationals have termed an elbo

SAN FRANCISCO – This was supposed to be a big outing for Josiah Gray, who would have been looking to bounce back from two ragged starts to begin his season. Instead, Gray is on the 15-day injured list with a right elbow/forearm flexor strain and Joan Adon instead will make this start against the Giants. Adon is no stranger to the big leagues; this

BOSTON – They came out of the dugout one by one again today, walking up a red carpet and making a hard right along the third base line. The march of the Orioles. Introduced on another Opening Day, their third if we aren’t counting the first spring training game. Corbin Burnes started that afternoon and again on March 28 at Camden Yards. He stood on

SAN FRANCISCO – Josiah Gray is going on the injured list and won’t make his scheduled start tonight against the Giants. The Nationals announced today Gray was placed on the 15-day IL with what the club termed a right elbow/forearm flexor strain. Joan Adon will start in his place tonight at Oracle Park. The severity of Gray’s injury isn’t clear yet,

The Washington Nationals recalled right-handed pitcher Joan Adon from Triple-A Rochester and placed right-handed pitcher Josiah Gray on the 15-day Injured List with a right elbow/forearm flexor strain retroactive to April 6 on Tuesday. Nationals President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo made the announcement. Adon will start t
