For now, Rey Navarro has become the everyday second baseman for the Orioles. Signed by the club to a major league contract in November, he was called up from Triple-A Norfolk for Friday night's game and made his major league debut that evening.

Before his debut Friday, he had played in 885 minor league games with 3,289 at-bats on the farm. Navarro has a connection to former...

You have questions, we have the answers: Q: Are the Mets for real in the National League East or is this an April mirage? A: The Mets' start is a sign of their all-new can-do attitude. They won 79 games last season and came to spring training convinced they were a contender. And then, after they won two of three in their first series in Washington, they had a confidence-builder, beating a team they went 4-15 against in 2014. The Mets are winning even though their second-best pitcher, Zack...

ATLANTA - The experimentation continues for Nationals manager Matt Williams as he looks to find the right formula for his offense. Facing Braves left-hander Eric Stults tonight, Williams has placed first baseman Ryan Zimmerman second in the order. Zimmerman is batting just .205, but has six extra-base hits (five doubles, one triple) and nine RBIs in his last 11 games. Overall, he leads the team with 12 RBIs and his eight walks are second most. Right-hander Doug Fister gets his turn at stopping...

Young (five RBIs), Chris Davis (three), Steve Pearce (three) and Paredes (three) each drove in at least three runs yesterday from the fourth through seventh spots in the order. Per Elias,...

Outfielder Rick Hague leads the Senators with a .735 OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage) for batters with a minimum of 40 plate appearances. He leads the team with five doubles. He has two stolen bases, but would like to trim the strikeout total...
