SARASOTA, Fla. - Nolan Reimold batted .340/.439/.489 in 24 spring training games last year and didn't break camp with the Orioles. An impressive slash line, two home runs, nine RBIs and eight walks couldn't sway team officials who were in a bind over his lack of minor league options. Reimold didn't have his contact purchased from Triple-A Norfolk until June and the wait tested his patience, which eventually was rewarded. Now he's faced with more uncertainty as the Orioles prepare to head...

JUPITER, Fla. - Tyler Moore cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Triple-A Syracuse, the Nationals announced this evening. The transaction removes Moore from the club's 40-man roster, though it does keep him in the organization. He also continues to earn his $900,000 major league salary. Moore, 29, has spent parts of the last four seasons playing for the Nationals, appearing in 277 total big league games. He also shuttled back and forth between Washington and Syracuse on a regular basis,...

According to a report from MLB Network's Jon Heyman, the Orioles have been in touch with the San Diego Padres to inquire about right-handed starting pitcher James Shields. On the surface, this makes sense with Kevin Gausman's recent shoulder issue and the rotation's generally shaky overall pitching this spring. But then you have to consider that Shields is 34, owed at least $65 million through 2018 and coming off his poorest season since 2010. Considering this, it doesn't quite add up that...

JUPITER, Fla. - The Nationals brought a bunch of regulars on the one-hour, 45-minute bus ride from Viera for tonight's game, wanting them take advantage of a rare spring training opportunity to play under the lights in preparation for the regular season. But you can't really take advantage of a game under the lights if a massive cloudburst prevents that game from ever being played. Alas, the Nationals' scheduled game against the Marlins this evening was canceled after two hours of intense...

SARASOTA, Fla. - Five home runs almost weren't enough today for the Orioles. Then their game carried into the 10th inning, they fell behind by two runs and scored three to notch their second walk-off win in two days. Garabez Rosa, back here again from minor league camp, delivered a two-run single into center field off Matt Tracy to give the Orioles an 11-10 victory over the Yankees, who never recorded an out in the inning. The Yankees scored twice off minor league pitcher Stefan Crichton in...

ORIOLES QUICK WRAP Score: Orioles 11, Yankees 10 Recap: Chris Tillman worked four innings plus one batter and allowed five runs and six hits. He walked three, struck out four and hit a batter. Tillman walked two batters in the second and Chris Denorfia made him pay with a three-run homer. Mark Trumbo hit his fifth home run, Caleb Joseph hit his first, J.J. Hardy belted his second in two days and Manny Machado launched his third. Machado's solo shot tied the game in the seventh. Zach Phillips,...

SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles rotation didn't surrender a home run in the first inning today, the streak ending at three games. The damage came later. Chris Denorfia hit a three-run homer off Chris Tillman in the second after a pair of walks, and the Yankees tacked on two more runs in the third to build a 5-1 lead. Mark Trumbo, Caleb Joseph and J.J. Hardy have homered for the Orioles, who will try to pound the Yankees into submission. It may be the favored plan of attack this season. Hardy's...

JUPITER, Fla. - The Nationals face a rarity over the next 24 hours: back-to-back road games at Roger Dean Stadium against two different teams. The club isn't staying over, though some have chosen to do so on their own, so the vast majority of guys are either playing one game or the other. One guy who is scheduled to play in both games is Tyler Moore, who for now remains a member of the organization but who might well be claimed off waivers by another club or outrighted to the minors. Moore is...

The Orioles today announced dates for their first three O's Zone events, including the annual "Birds are Back" rally in Westminster, for fans to celebrate the opening of the 2016 season. The events will include Orioles giveaways, trivia and prizes, an appearance by the Oriole Bird, and autograph sessions with current and former Orioles players. The first O's Zone presented by Budweiser will take place on Wednesday, March 30, at the Hard Rock Café Pier in the Inner Harbor from 4:00 to...

SARASOTA, Fla. - Reliever Chaz Roe will return to camp on Saturday following the birth of his daughter. Roe is trying to occupy one of the open spots in the bullpen. He hasn't allowed a run in his last six appearances over 6 2/3 innings. However, he's surrendered a hit in five of them and issued a walk in the other game. The Orioles could make more roster cuts following today's game. Manager Buck Showalter wasn't able to meet with executive vice president Dan Duquette before batting...
