SARASOTA, Fla. - We're heading back to Tampa today for a 1:05 p.m. game against the Yankees.
This time, we won't stake out Brian Roberts in the home dugout. That ship has sailed.
This time, we won't be subjected to the torturous rush hour traffic on the way up there. We'll hit it on the way back to Sarasota.
Bud Norris and Kevin Gausman will double-team the Yankees, who are starting Michael Pineda.
Tommy Hunter had a humorous take yesterday on the two home runs that he's served up to...
SARASOTA, Fla. - Most of the national prospects analysts agree that the Orioles' Eduardo Rodriguez is one of the top young pitchers in baseball.
He is the Orioles' No. 3 rated prospect by Baseball America and has been listed in all the major top 100 lists. Rodriguez comes in at No. 43 on the ESPN list and is rated No. 61 by Baseball Prospectus, No. 65 by Baseball America and No. 68 by MLB.com.
But Rodriguez didn't put his best foot forward during his time in O's big league camp, which...
KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Ian Desmond was scratched from today's game against the Astros due to a cut on the pinky finger of his throwing hand, manager Matt Williams said after the Nationals' 10-9 loss to Houston.
Fielding grounders during batting practice, Desmond had a ball hop up on him, and the finger split open. The shortstop was taken out of the starting lineup, and was replaced by Jamey Carroll.
"He's fine, but we just decided to hold him out today and not push it," Williams said of...
The Orioles today announced that they have reassigned right-hander Brock Huntzinger, left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez and infielder Ivan De Jesus, Jr. to minor league camp.
With these assignments, the Orioles now have 47 players at major league spring training, including nine non-roster invitees.
SARASOTA, Fla. - After two neck surgeries that limited him to 56 games total the last two years, Nolan Reimold is trying to make up for some lost time here at spring training and show the Orioles he can be a productive player again.
Today was a nice step in the right direction for Reimold. He went 2-for-3 with a single and two-run homer. He also made a loud out, lining into a double play in the seventh. He hit a two-run shot to left off A.J. Burnett in the fifth inning during the O's 6-5 loss...

KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Ian Desmond was scheduled to start at shortstop and hit third in today's lineup against the Astros, but when the game began, Jamey Carroll was the third Nationals hitter into the batter's box.
Desmond has been scratched from the lineup today, with Carroll taking over as the Nats' shortstop to begin the game.
No word from the Nationals yet as to why Desmond was a late scratch. He did make the trip here to Kissimmee, so it must've been something that came up shortly before...
21-year-old Austin Voth made a nice jump last season from short-season Single-A Auburn to low Single-A Hagerstown.
The right-handed starter Voth went a combined 3-0 with a 1.75 ERA in 11 games, striking out 55 batters in 46 1/3 innings.
Voth is continuing to prepare for the 2014 campaign alongside 22 of his pitching teammates in the accelerated development program in Viera, Fla.
