All the hype coming into this pivotal series seemed to focus on the pitching arsenal the Mets were prepared to throw at the Nationals. Three days later, the Nats starters stood up to the test. Gio Gonzalez outpitched Matt Harvey on Monday to claim the win. Last night, Joe Ross took a 2-1 lead over Jacob deGrom and the Mets into the seventh before the Nationals bullpen tanked. And tonight it was Jordan Zimmermann, who outlasted rookie sensation Noah Syndergaard.
"It was big," Zimmermann said...
NEW YORK - Orioles manager Buck Showalter said outfielder Steve Pearce suggested today that he go on the disabled list as the corresponding roster move for Kevin Gausman. Pearce stopped by Showalter's office at Yankee Stadium and revealed the extent of his oblique injury.
The Orioles were prepared to make a different move before Showalter's conversation with Pearce.
"He said, 'Listen, I know we've got a pending move coming and I'm kind of at the point where it's really bothering me,'"...
NEW YORK - Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette said the Orioles will remain buyers as the non-waiver trade deadline approaches, no matter what happens during the current road trip.
The Orioles are 2-2 since the All-Star break, including last night's loss to the Yankees that pushed them five games out of first place.
Duquette stated his position after being asked whether the club might consider trading pending free agent Chris Davis.
"We're still contenders for the playoffs and we...
The Nationals were four outs from having their National League East lead chopped to one game when an improbable rally ensued, resulting in a stunning 4-3 comeback win over the Mets.
There wasn't a whole lot for the soldout crowd of 41,291 to cheer about at Nationals Park for much of the day, especially after watching Yunel Escobar, the Nats' second-leading hitter, exit the game with a left wrist injury in the second inning.
The Nationals found themselves down 3-1 in the eighth when Ian...
Pitching on the same day that ESPN's Buster Olney reported that the Orioles are willing to discuss him in trade talks, right-hander Kevin Gausman (1-1, 5.00 ERA) gets the start for the O's tonight in New York.
The report said the Orioles "appear to be willing" to talk about Gausman and immediately it sent some fans into a frenzy of worry on Twitter this afternoon.
Keep in mind it is a big leap from they appear willing to talk to making an actual trade. Also with so much talk that the...
Following the Nationals' 4-3 win over the Mets, manager Matt Williams confirmed that third baseman Yunel Escobar has an injured left hand and wrist. He has been dealing with an injury to that area from earlier in the season.
Escobar went down to the ground after taking a healthy swing in his first at-bat in the second inning on a pitch from Mets' right-hander Noah Syndergaard. He laid on top of home plate for almost a minute, and after recovering, stepped back into the box with a 1-2 count....
NEW YORK - The Orioles have recalled right-hander Kevin Gausman and placed Steve Pearce on the 15-day disabled list with a left oblique strain, retroactive to July 19.
Pearce said his oblique has been bothering him over the last two weeks. He will get an MRI Thursday in Baltimore and rejoin the team in Tampa Bay this weekend. He hopes to be ready after the 15 days, but has never had an oblique injury before.
Pearce has hit .227 with seven home runs and 24 RBIs in 58 games with the Orioles this...
The Orioles today announced that they have recalled right-hander Kevin Gausman from Triple-A Norfolk and placed infielder/outfielder Steve Pearce on the 15-day disabled list with a left oblique strain, retroactive to July 19.
Gausman, 24, has gone 1-1 with a 5.00 ERA (27.0IP, 15ER) in 11 games (three starts) with the Orioles this season. In 51 career major league games (28 starts), Gausman has gone 11-13 with a 4.31 ERA (188.0IP, 90ER). In three starts with Triple-A Norfolk this season, he went...
NEW YORK - The Orioles still have not announced their roster move for right-hander Kevin Gausman to start tonight's game against the Yankees.
Ryan Flaherty gets a rare start at first base for the seventh time in his career. He hasn't played first this season, but did in six games over 2013 and 2014.
Chris Parmelee is still listed among the Orioles reserves for tonight's game.
Update: I'm sensing that a player will go on the disabled list, but we're still waiting.
For the OriolesManny...
NEW YORK - The Orioles have released left-handed reliever Wesley Wright, who was designated for assignment last week.
Wright made only two appearances in April before going on the disabled list with a strained left trapezius. He allowed one run and two hits in 1 2/3 innings.
Wright was transferred to the 60-day disabled list and surrendered 10 earned runs (11 total) and 15 hits in 11 2/3 innings on his injury rehab assignment at Triple-A Norfolk. He walked seven batters (two intentionally) and...
