SARASOTA, Fla. - Orioles reliever Ryan Webb said he's scheduled to pitch again today against the Rays in Port Charlotte. It's one of the few certainties in his baseball life. Webb is out of options and unsure whether he's breaking camp with the team. He's narrowing his focus to getting ready for the 2015 season and letting the front office worry about the composition of the 25-man roster and bullpen. "Well, I'm still here, so as far as I know, that's where I'm going to be," he said....

MLB Network made its annual stop at Orioles spring camp in Sarasota, Fla., and its "30 in 30" broadcast on the Birds aired last night.

Reynolds speculated whether Manny Machado would move over to short or whether Everth Cabrera might play there if Hardy missed time. He interviewed Hardy on the...

VIERA, Fla. - Nationals right-hander Doug Fister has struggled the past few times he's taken the hill. The Marlins tagged Fister for three home runs in the Nats' 11-7 win this afternoon. He's allowed 13 earned runs and given up six homers in just five starts this spring. "Basically command (was the issue), mostly on the sinker," said Fister. "Making sure that it's down and on the corners. It was up a little bit too much today. Gotta keep it down, but in and out it wasn't too bad. I'm...

He was one of the most impressive players in camp, especially with an outfield arm that's unrivaled in the organization, and...

SARASOTA, Fla. - Why do injuries always seem to crop up late in camp? Here's Orioles manager Buck Showalter following today's 6-5 loss to the Twins: On David Lough: "Still don't like where his hamstring is. I was going to play him in the 10:30 a.m. game over at Twin Lakes today, but he's not going to be able to play tomorrow, either. He might be a little longer than we thought." On back spasms and hamstring soreness: "They're really running off of each other. One came from the other,...

VIERA, Fla. - Right-hander Casey Janssen will have a MRI on his right shoulder tomorrow, Nationals manager Matt Williams said Sunday afternoon.

He had a little issue getting as loose as he wanted to get." Janssen last appeared in Monday's game, when he pitched the sixth inning. He gave up a two-run homer to Yankees center fielder Chris Young....

SARASOTA, Fla. - David Lough won't play on Monday due to a sore hamstring and has become a strong candidate for the disabled list. Lough already was sidelined with back spasms. He was scheduled to start against the Rays in Port Charlotte, but that's no longer a possibility. Orioles manager Buck Showalter believes the injuries are related and he didn't sound optimistic that Lough, who's 5-for-27 (.185) this spring, would be cleared to play anytime in the near future. If he's placed on the...
