The Orioles today announced that they have reinstated outfielder Nolan Reimold from the paternity list. The team also announced the release of outfielder Delmon Young. Reimold, 31, was placed on the paternity list on July 6. In 17 games with the Orioles this season since having his contract selected from Triple-A Norfolk on June 9, he is batting .244/.340/.463 (10-41) with a double, triple, two home runs, five RBI, and seven runs scored. Young, 29, was designated for assignment on July 1. He...

The Orioles announced today that they released outfielder Delmon Young and reinstated outfielder Nolan Reimold from the paternity list. Reimold had to be added to the 25-man roster today despite the Orioles being idle. A stint on the paternity list lasts up to three days. Reimold flew home to Jacksonville on Sunday night for the birth of his daughter, Charlotte Rose. He's batting .244/.340/.463 (10-for-41) with a double, triple, two home runs, five RBIs and seven runs scored in 17 games since...

The rotations for the Orioles-Nationals series that begins Friday night at Camden Yards are mostly a blur. Only one pitcher has come into focus. The Nationals announced today that left-hander Gio Gonzalez will start the opener. Max Scherzer also figures to pitch against the Orioles before the All-Star break, though the club is keeping the rest of the rotation a secret. At least the Nats have passed along one name. The Orioles haven't even gone that far. Chris Tillman, Miguel Gonzalez and...

The Washington Nationals reinstated right-handed pitcher David Carpenter from the paternity list on Thursday, and optioned right-handed pitcher Taylor Hill to Triple-A Syracuse. President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo made the announcement. Carpenter, 29, is 0-0 with a 1.50 ERA in eight games (6.0 IP) with the Nationals. Acquired from the New York Yankees on June 11, Carpenter is 0-1 with a 4.01 ERA in 30 total games (24.2 IP) this season. He and his wife, Brittny,...

For the third consecutive season, an Orioles player will be participating in the Home Run Derby. Chris Davis represented Charm City in 2013 and Adam Jones donned the orange and black at the Derby a year ago. This year, 23-year-old Manny Machado will step into the batter's box and look to be the first Oriole to win the contest since Miguel Tejada in 2004. In 2015, the Home Run Derby has a few changes. For starters, it's now a single-elimination bracket-style tournament, where players are...

One of the big refrains coming into the 2015 season for the Nationals was that because of the loss of pending free agents Denard Span, Ian Desmond, Doug Fister and Jordan Zimmermann at the end of the season, the window is closing. While this has always been somewhat faulty logic, it made sense that the Nationals would have difficulty replacing four good players. But the season has not gone according to plan, and the idea that the window would be closing because of the loss of those four players...

The Nationals will spend this much needed off-day on the mend before making the short drive up the Baltimore-Washington Parkway tomorrow afternoon for an interleague series with the Orioles. Both teams enter the weekend reeling. On July 1, Baltimore jumped into their first lead in the American League East since the season's opening week. Since then, the Orioles have dropped six of seven, scoring only 10 runs combined in the losses. The Twins completed a three-game sweep over Baltimore...

The Orioles are off today, which opens the door for plenty of quips. Go ahead and get them out of your system. This seems like a good time to dig through my mailbag and address the questions that have been presented to me on multiple occasions. The questions I've answered on multiple occasions. The questions that won't go away, which is why this sequel exists. It's a fun exercise. And if it makes you sweat, you need to visit your cardiologist. Could the Orioles play in Cuba this year? There...

If there ever was a good time for weather to postpone a baseball game, it was tonight. Stricken by injuries across his ballclub, Nationals manager Matt Williams was planning to field a lineup with Bryce Harper, Ian Desmond and six reserves in the series finale against the Reds. Shortly after heavy showers ended any chance of playing, Williams was asked if the rain dance worked. "Next," Williams said with a sly look while trying to hold back laughter. The recent wet weather over the past five...
