Since Mike Elias and company took the reins in 2019, the Orioles have been one of, if not the most, successful drafting teams in the league.  Of course, having some top five selections have helped to solidify that podium placement, allowing Baltimore to draft talents like Adley Rutschman, Heston Kjerstad, Colton Cowser and Jackson Holliday. But, it

Moving Tony Mansolino into the manager’s office on an interim basis didn’t provide a permanent solution to the Orioles’ issues in 2025. That’s a huge ask. However, the club is 21-19 since he replaced Brandon Hyde, and most of the improvement is credited to an uptick in starting pitching and in health. The early record assuredly would have been bett

ANAHEIM, Calif. – For eight innings, the Nationals did just enough to keep today's series finale against the Angels close, overcoming missed opportunities, missed calls and missed locations to at least put themselves in position to win. It was, quite frankly, the kind of game they lost too many times over the last week and a half during a Southern

Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino hung the label of “day game Deano” on his starting pitcher this afternoon, though Kremer’s splits in reality are slightly better at night. Mansolino turned out to be correct, whether by accident or some sort of premonition. Kremer shut out the Rays on three hits over seven innings and the Orioles claimed the s

ANAHEIM, Calif. – As he watched from the bullpen in the bottom of the seventh Saturday night, helpless to do anything about the nightmare inning his teammates were suffering through, Kyle Finnegan tried to think of any good that could come from the situation. The Nationals’ closer would’ve rather been on the mound himself. But that wasn’t going to

ANAHEIM, Calif. – The Nationals arrived in Southern California way back on July 19, fresh off a walk-off win over the Rockies that finally snapped their losing streak at 11 games. Today, they finally wrap up this nine-game trip through all three major league cities in the region, having lost two of three to both the Dodgers and the Padres and needi

The Orioles are losing another starting pitcher. Zach Eflin is trending toward the injured list in the next 24 hours, according to interim manager Tony Mansolino. Eflin exited yesterday’s game after one inning with lower back tightness that he felt in the bullpen, and his condition didn’t improve this morning. This would be Eflin’s second trip to t

The Orioles made another roster move this morning, which is becoming part of their daily routine. Matt Bowman has his contract selected from Triple-A Norfolk and Kade Strowd was optioned to provide a fresh arm for the bullpen. Luis F. Castillo was reinstated from the minor league seven-day injured list and designated for assignment. Bowman has a 4.

The unsettled status of the Orioles’ rotation broadened yesterday with Zach Eflin’s lower back tightness and disappearance after only one inning. The series against the Rays concludes today with Dean Kremer starting, and the current roster has Trevor Rogers, Charlie Morton and Tomoyuki Sugano lined up for the Rangers series in Arlington. Eflin’s av

ANAHEIM, Calif. – Friday night’s wacky win over the Angels may have seen the Nationals explode for 15 runs, their best offensive output in four years, but it also came at a cost. When Jake Irvin couldn’t contain Los Angeles’ offense, Davey Martinez had to lean hard on two of his few trusted relievers in order to close out an eventual 15-9 win. Brad
