When Tampa Bay Rays pitching coach Kyle Snyder reached out to Orioles pitching coach Drew French to talk about righty Zach Eflin it was a bit unusual. It happened not long after the July 26 deal that made Eflin an Oriole and sent three minor leaguers to the Rays. Snyder was showing great friendship and support for a pitcher he had a wonderful relat

The Nationals’ goal for the last six weeks of the season is clear: Stick with the youth movement and see what pieces they have for next season. The young regulars, of course, will continue to get a majority of the playing time. CJ Abrams, James Wood, Keibert Ruiz, Luis García Jr. and Jacob Young are important pieces moving forward. Newcomers Juan Y

The Orioles honored Corbin Burnes on Friday with his own bobblehead night. He appreciated the gesture and took one home. It just wasn’t anything new to him. Teams have come up with the idea to doll up Burnes pretty much at every level after Little League. “I’ve had a bunch of bobbleheads,” he said. “I had two or three in Milwaukee, I’ve had a coupl

PHILADELPHIA – The Nationals needed a win today. Entering this finale against the Phillies, they were losers of four straight and five of their last six. They were also in danger of suffering their eighth sweep of the season, fifth on the road. It took a total team effort to finally get that elusive win. But they got it as the Nationals escaped Cit

The first Red Sox batter to put a ball in play this afternoon lined it directly into Albert Suárez’s glove. It wasn’t a screamer at 64 mph. It was, however, a good indicator of what the Orioles were getting again from their rotation replacement. Suárez would keep denying Boston’s hitters and he’d do so in his usual quiet fashion. The Orioles’ offen

On this homestand against Washington and Boston that ends today, the Orioles won Wednesday and Thursday, allowing one run each game. But they have lost the other three games, allowing nine, 12 and five runs. From April 24, 2023 to June 20, 2024, the Orioles went 22 straight series against American League East teams without losing one. That was the

PHILADELPHIA – The Nationals need to get their offense going in Sunday’s finale against the Phillies. Over the first three games of this four-game series, they’ve been outscored 21-6 and outhit 37-21. As has been the case for most of this season, the offense goes as CJ Abrams goes. And right now, the young shortstop is struggling at the plate. “He'

The Orioles elevated Eloy Jiménez to the cleanup spot for this afternoon’s series finale against the Red Sox. Jarren Duran robbed Jiménez of a home run last night with a leaping catch at the center field fence in the ninth inning. Jiménez is 14-for-33 (.424) with the Orioles. Adley Rutschman returns to the lineup after pinch-hitting last night. He

PHILADELPHIA – The Nationals need one today. Ideally, it would be a total team effort: Strong starting pitching, a lot of run support and a shutdown bullpen. But honestly, it doesn’t matter how they get it. They just need to win. Luckily, the guy that gives them the best chance to do that is taking the mound this afternoon. Jake Irvin makes his 26t

The Orioles have made the following roster moves: Recalled RHP Colin Selby from Triple-A Norfolk. He will wear No. 60.Optioned LHP Cade Povich to Triple-A Norfolk after yesterday’s game.
