VIERA, Fla. - Today's starting left fielder, Tyler Moore, was the story early in the exhibition season as extra-base hits were flying off his bat. His scorching spring has been overshadowed the past two weeks by a series of injuries facing Nationals starters. As we approach the home stretch of spring training, Moore's has a .351 average with three homers, seven doubles, a triple and eight RBIs in 15 Grapefruit League games. The 28-year-old Moore showed up at camp out of options and needing to...

LAKELAND, Fla. - Catcher Matt Wieters will return to Sarasota for workouts after joining the Orioles for the three-game series against the Rays at Tropicana Field that opens the 2015 season. The Orioles want Wieters to eventually begin playing in extended spring training games while he's on the disabled list. The plan also calls for him to play his rehab games at Double-A Bowie and Single-A Frederick and report each day to the Camden Yards clubhouse. Manager Buck Showalter said Wieters will do...

The Nationals will commemorate memorable home runs at Nationals Park, similar to the way Frank Howard's mammoth blasts to the upper deck at RFK Stadium were signified by seats painted white where the ball hit, according to those attending an invitation-only event at Nationals Park on Tuesday night. There will be five initial dramatic home runs that will be honored with specially painted seats in the Nationals Park outfield. They are: * March 30, 2008 - Ryan Zimmerman walk-off home run * July...

LAKELAND, Fla. - Second baseman Jonathan Schoop said he should be able to play Friday against the Rays in Sarasota after having two teeth extracted yesterday. "I have to get a workout in today and I'm ready to go," said Schoop, who's 9-for-37 (.243) with two doubles, two home runs and six RBIs. "I feel good. No pain, but the doctor didn't want me to run around yesterday. I think today if I run I could bleed, but I feel good. I'm thankful. I feel ready to go." Schoop had one wisdom...

On Tuesday, March 31, the Orioles will host the 5th annual All Faiths Food Drive to help underserved families in the Sarasota area. Fans attending the 1:05 p.m. game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Ed Smith Stadium are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items and/or monetary donations to benefit the All Faiths Food Bank. Since 2011, over 2,896 pounds of food and $4,000 in cash donations have been collected at the yearly food drive to help underserved families in the Sarasota area. In 2014,...

While you cross off the days on your calendar until April 6, I thought I'd take it back to the best moment in Nationals history. Need I say more? I will warn you that watching the highlights from Jordan Zimmermann's no-hitter may actually make the days, hours and minutes until opening day feel longer. Just remember, only 11 more days.

With the Orioles season just around the corner, I thought we'd throw it back to a thriller at Camden Yards. On June 23, Chris Davis was kept out of the lineup to rest. After eight innings on the bench, Buck Showalter called on Davis to pinch-hit in the bottom of the ninth with the O's trailing the White Sox by a run. On a full count, Davis smashed a three-run homer to right, bringing Baltimore to its feet! While you anxiously wait another 11 days until opening day, relive Davis' pinch-hit,...

SARASOTA, Fla. - Nolan Reimold is getting another start in left field today and Delmon Young returns to right field for the Orioles' game against the Tigers in Lakeland. Manny Machado is leading off today and Ryan Lavarnway is behind the plate. Christian Walker is starting at first base. The reserves include Steve Clevenger, Caleb Joseph, Ryan Flaherty, Chris Parmelee, Mike Yastrzemski, Michael Almanzar, Julio Borbon, Glynn Davis, Ozzie Martinez and Garabez Rosa. The bullpen includes Kevin...

VIERA, Fla. - The opening day countdown is on for the Nationals and third baseman Anthony Rendon. The star injured his knee on March 9 while making a typical Rendon-esque play, diving to his left to stop a sure base bit and then jumping to his feet to fire to Ryan Zimmerman at first base for the out. Rendon actually came up to bat in the bottom half of the sixth inning against the Braves that day and then hasn't played since. The initial report was just a bruised knee. That was eventually...
