The Orioles are set to begin their final series before the All-Star break, hosting the Nationals through the weekend. They haven't announced their starters, but Chris Tillman is expected to pitch tonight.
It's his turn and there are no indications that manager Buck Showalter is pushing him back. Let's run with it.
Tillman has won his last four decisions. He didn't get one in his most recent start against the White Sox after allowing two runs and 10 hits in 4 2/3 innings in the Orioles' 3-2...
The Orioles will celebrate the 20th anniversary of Cal Ripken, Jr.'s record-breaking 2,131st consecutive game on Tuesday, September 1, at the 7:05 p.m. ET game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The celebration will recognize the iconic moment when Ripken played his 2,131st consecutive game, passing New York Yankees legend Lou Gehrig, on September 6, 1995.
Ripken will throw out the ceremonial first pitch as part of a variety of commemorative events planned at Oriole Park to honor the anniversary....
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...
