The Orioles used the disabled list for the 10th time today, including twice with Ryan Flaherty, who returned to it this afternoon with a strained right groin muscle.
"The tough thing, like I said, is it's unbelievable that a guy who's played as much baseball since Little League has never had a leg issue," said manager Buck Showalter. "It's only for the most part moving to his right, which happened in Toronto when he moved to his right taking off to go to second, and moving to the ball to...
The Orioles today announced that they have placed infielder Ryan Flaherty on the 15-day disabled list with a right groin strain. In a corresponding move, the Orioles have recalled infielder Rey Navarro from Triple-A Norfolk.
Flaherty, 28, batted .250/.372/.500 (9-36) with three doubles, two home runs, and four RBI in 13 games with the Orioles this season.
Navarro, 25, hit .429/.438/.857 (6-14) with a double, triple, home run, and four RBI in four games with Triple-A Norfolk this season. He...
Catcher Wilson Ramos came to Washington in a 2010 trade with the Minnesota Twins. Since then, his career has been defined by a kidnapping incident in Venezuela, as well as injuries that put him on the disabled list for three consecutive seasons.
But this season, that could all change.
Ramos, 27, has a new lease on life. He's one of the Nationals' most consistent hitters. He's relaxed, healthy, and enjoying his job and life away from the field. He's dropped weight, feels strong and his body...

"I feel great because I've gotten an opportunity and have taken advantage of it. Been trying to...
The Orioles are deciding whether to place infielder Ryan Flaherty on the 15-day disabled list. Team orthopedist Dr. Michael Jacobs is reviewing the MRI.
Infielder Rey Navarro is in Baltimore, and the sense is that the Orioles will make a roster move later today. They can't afford to be short an infielder with a bench that's heavy in outfielders.
Update: The move is official. Flaherty goes on the DL with a right groin strain and Navarro is recalled from Triple-A Norfolk.
Kevin Gausman will...

"He swings and hits a long drive to deep right-center! Going back is the center fielder! See you later! Another homer for Bryce Harper! This one wins the game!"
That's how Saturday's game ended: Nationals 8, Braves 6, on a walk-off home run by Bryce Harper. He killed a Cody Martin offering to right-center to end the game.
Harper has hit more than just a few home runs this past week. The Miami Marlins came to town, and Wednesday it was boom, boom, boom. Three home runs in one game. After an...
The Nationals dumped 10 runs on the Diamondbacks in the first two innings last night. It was the second time this season that the Nats had been in a game that got out of control before most had an opportunity to even settle in their seats. Back on April 28, the Braves stunned the Nats with nine runs in the first two frames before Washington staged an improbable comeback that has propelled them to win 11 of their last 13 games and climb to within 2 1/2 games of the lead in the National League...
It has been a very good start to May for high Single-A Potomac third baseman Drew Ward. He has gone 8-for-29 (.276) with two homers and five RBIs. He has walked seven times and struck out only seven times. The 20-year-old from Leedey, Okla., has hit .278 overall with a .800 OPS, totaling 27 hits including eight doubles.
Second baseman Christopher Bostick had a six-game hit streak snapped last night. But he had a game-winning hit last week in a 4-3 win over Frederick and has eight stolen bases...
