BOSTON - Jimmy Paredes walked onto the field at Fenway Park today with a bat in his hand and a smile on his face. He made it in time for batting practice before serving as the designated hitter.
Paredes played only one game on his injury rehab assignment, starting at third base last night at Double-A Bowie. The Orioles intercepted him before he flew to Norfolk.
Paredes was getting at-bats in extended spring training games before reporting to Bowie.

Schoop,...
Back in the leadoff spot, center fielder Michael A. Taylor roped a single to left field to get things going early for the Nationals this afternoon.

The Nats have now scored in the first inning of the last four games.

BOSTON - Jonathan Schoop has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a partially torn PCL and sprained MCL in his right knee, and Jimmy Paredes has been activated from the DL to take his place on the 25-man roster.

Schoop was involved in two bumpy incidents in Friday's...
Coming off a start in which he allowed seven runs in the Orioles' loss to Toronto, Chris Tillman will try to get the Orioles even in Game 2 of four-game series at Boston.
Tillman (1-1, 7.71 ERA) will pitch against Red Sox right-hander Clay Buchholz (1-1, 7.84 ERA) at Fenway Park.
After giving up just one run over 6 2/3 innings on opening day, Tillman allowed seven runs over just 2 2/3 innings Sunday against Toronto. Those seven runs were one off his career-high of eight, allowed three times...
Nationals manager Matt Williams revealed before today's game that infielder Yunel Escobar will undergo an MRI this afternoon on his strained groin. The injury occurred while legging out a ground ball to first base in the fifth inning of last night's 7-2 victory over the Phillies.

"He said he felt OK," Williams said. "Every player is...
Center fielder Denard Span has now played through two rehab games and is closer to returning from right core muscle surgery. Span went through a full workout at Nats Park on Saturday morning. Nationals manager Matt Williams said Span is closer to being activated.
One big question the Nationals must answer when Span returns is what to do with the current starting center fielder, Michael A. Taylor.
Should the Nats keep Taylor on the 25-man roster as a super-sub, or get him back to Triple-A...
Yunel Escobar is out of today's lineup with a strained groin. Escobar's injury occurred while legging out a grounder to first base in the fifth inning last night. He pulled up lame just as he reached the bag and would leave the game immediately after.
Escobar's departure paves the way for Danny Espinosa to make his first career major league start at third base. Espinosa took over for Escobar there last night and began playing the position during the final two weeks of spring training due to...
