BRADENTON, Fla. – Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson’s streak of being out of the lineup stretches into this afternoon. He’s supposed to face live pitching on a back field in Sarasota, but he isn’t playing against the Pirates. Henderson’s last appearance was Feb. 27, when he strained his right intercostal while catching Bo Bichette’s line drive. Ja

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. – It’s the penultimate day of spring training, which is really just an excuse to use the word penultimate. The Nationals finalized their Opening Day rotation and narrowed down the list of remaining candidates for backup catcher and 26th man on the bench Friday, but there are still a few more things to do. Chief among them: Fina

SARASOTA, Fla. – The Orioles were on the brink of exploding, and in a good way. This wasn’t dissension. It was celebration. They won 101 games and the division in 2023, stomping the rebuild into submission. The champagne was on ice after the clincher and players were handed goggles in the clubhouse to protect their eyes. “You don’t need glasses,” v

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Everything was going swimmingly for Michael Soroka. He had bounced back from his first rough start of the spring, completing the first four innings of tonight’s start against the Marlins on a mere 48 pitches. And then came the top of the fifth, at which point the narrative took a sharp turn in the opposite direction. Unable

SARASOTA, Fla. – The quest for starter depth has caused the Orioles to circle back to Kyle Gibson. The club announced tonight that it signed Gibson to a one-year contract. A source confirmed that the deal guarantees $5.25 million. The Athletic also reported that Gibson can earn $1.525 million in performance bonuses. Gibson, 37, spent the 2023 seaso

The Orioles today announced that they have agreed to terms with right-handed pitcher KYLE GIBSON on a one-year major league contract for the 2025 season. Gibson, 37, was 8-8 with a 4.24 ERA (80 ER/169.2 IP) with 161 hits (23 HR), 91 total runs, 68 walks (1 IBB), four hit batters, and 151 strikeouts in 30 starts last season for the St. Louis Cardina

SARASOTA, Fla. – Félix Bautista finally made it back into a Grapefruit League game tonight, his first in a week, and he stuck around for two outs and 26 pitches. If the idea was to gain clarity on his status for Opening Day, the mission failed. Bautista surrendered a wind-aided, opposite-field home run to Zach McKinstry. He struck out two batters b

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – The Nationals have chosen Mitchell Parker as the final member of their Opening Day rotation, a decision that became official when they optioned both Shinnosuke Ogasawara and DJ Herz to Triple-A Rochester. The Nats also optioned infielder Nasim Nuñez and catcher Drew Millas to Rochester, narrowing their list of remaining cand

SARASOTA, Fla. – Dylan Carlson won’t play general manager. He’d prefer holding onto his sanity. “You lose your mind a little bit,” he said. Can’t argue with his logic. Carlson came into Orioles camp and ran into a crowded outfield. The Orioles signed him on Jan. 27 to a one-year deal worth $975,000 with a $25,000 bonus if he reached 200 plate appea

SARASOTA, Fla. – Gunnar Henderson remains out of the lineup tonight against the Tigers at Ed Smith Stadium. He’s taking live batting practice Saturday against pitchers on one of the back fields. Henderson hasn’t played since Feb. 27 and seems unlikely to be ready for Opening Day, but the Orioles are keeping the door cracked. Grayson Rodriguez playe
