BOSTON - The Orioles have confirmed a scoring change from Sunday's game against the Blue Jays at Camden Yards. Travis Snider no longer is charged with an error in the top of the third inning on Devon Travis' line drive to right field with the bases loaded. Travis is awarded a three-run double and Orioles starter Chris Tillman is tagged with another hit and four more earned runs. Travis later scored on Jose Reyes' single. Tillman is charged with seven earned runs in 2 2/3 innings. His season...

Right-hander Craig Stammen is in unfamiliar territory. Before yesterday, the 31-year-old had never been on the disabled list at any point in his career since the Nationals selected him in the 12th round of 2005 First-Year Player Draft. Unfortunately, his maiden trip to the DL may cost Stammen the remainder of the season, as he is set to have surgery on Sunday to repair a torn flexor muscle in his right forearm. "It kinda depends when they go in there what they see and what they find," said...

BOSTON - Orioles infielder Everth Cabrera has been granted permission to make the trip to Toronto for the three-game series that begins on Tuesday. Cabrera's past legal issues figured to pose a complication and the Orioles were making contingency plans to replace him on the 25-man roster. He was arrested in September for suspicion of driving under the influence of marijuana and charged two months later with resisting arrest. Shortstop J.J. Hardy took batting practice, fielded ground balls and...

Ubaldo Jimenez, who has a very poor career record against the Boston Red Sox, will try to turn that around tonight when the Orioles open a four-game series at Fenway Park. Jimenez (1-0, 0.00 ERA) pitches against Red Sox right-hander Joe Kelly (1-0, 1.29 ERA) in the series opener. In three starts against the Red Sox in 2014, Jimenez went 0-1 with a 6.10 ERA. Over 15 innings, he walked 12 and gave up four homers. In seven career starts, Jimenez is 1-3 with a 9.37 ERA versus the Red Sox with 23...

Nationals manager Matt Williams had updates on all the injured players looking to come back off the disabled list during his pregame briefing with the media this afternoon. On right-hander Casey Janssen, who is out with right shoulder inflammation: "Good. He's on his throwing program. It's a build-up of course. Being shut down and taking care of it for a while. We have to build him back up, so it's a normal spring training-type situation where he'll throw and build that arm strength....

Right-hander Max Scherzer takes the hill tonight still in search of his first win for the Nationals. He's experienced hard luck in his previous two attempts, despite just allowing one earned run in 13 2/3 innings. He left last Sunday's game against the Phillies after six innings with the game tied 1-1, having given up six hits and two walks with eight strikeouts. Scherzer will work with catcher Wilson Ramos behind the plate for the third straight start. Despite a 7-for-33 (.212) start, Ramos...

BOSTON - The Orioles lead the majors with 15 home runs as they begin a four-game series tonight against the Red Sox at Fenway Park. Caleb Joseph is batting seventh again after going 3-for-4 Wednesday against the Yankees to improve his average to .375 (9-for-24). The Orioles are 19-1 when Joseph has an RBI dating back to last May. Center field Adam Jones ranks fifth in the American League and eighth in the majors with a .406 average (13-for-32). He hit .571 (12-for-21) with four home runs, nine...

It was five years ago today. A flame-throwing 26-year-old right-hander, Ubaldo Jimenez, who pitches tonight for the Orioles at Boston, threw a no-hitter for the Colorado Rockies against the Atlanta Braves. Jimenez threw 128 pitches, his fastball touched 98 mph and he walked six batters. He struggled with command pitching out of the windup so much that he switched to the stretch position to end the game. But he got Martin Prado, Chipper Jones and Brian McCann to end the game. "That was...

New Nationals pitcher Max Scherzer said this spring that his conversations with his former teammate in Detroit, Rick Porcello, went a long way in helping in his own and Porcello's development as major league starters. In an interview with Boston Globe writer Nick Cafardo in the leadup to his opening day start with the Nationals, Scherzer discussed the relationship, explaining that he and Porcello would study opponents from the bench when they weren't pitching, with Cafardo comparing the work...
