SARASOTA, Fla. - Orioles third baseman Manny Machado hasn't circled a date on his calendar for his first game of the spring. "Never will," he said. "That's not me." So, what's next for Machado after being told yesterday that the Orioles would put him on the 15-day disabled list prior to opening day. "Play baseball. That's all," he said. "Go out there and get ready and come back and help the team whenever I can, whenever I'm ready to play baseball. It's unfortunate but it's...

NATIONALS QUICK WRAP Score: Nationals 4, Marlins 1 Summary: Taylor Jordan worked 5 2/3 strong innings, allowing just a run. Nate McLouth homered, doubled, walked and drove in two. Craig Stammen, Ross Detwiler and Aaron Barrett combined to work 3 1/3 scoreless innings. Need to know: Jordan left a solid final impression on manager Matt Williams in his last outing of spring. Now it'll come down to him or Tanner Roark for the final spot in the Nats rotation. On deck: Tuesday, vs. Mets at home,...

SARASOTA, Fla. - Today's game between the Orioles and Red Sox has been cancelled after two innings due to heavy rains. Brian Matusz threw 29 pitches, 17 strikes in two innings.

Hardy is 11-for-33 this spring, and Davis is 14-for-31. Matt Wieters lined a single into center field leading off the second, his 10th hit in 26...

Now that we know Manny Machado is going to miss opening day, the O's infield possibilities without him are getting interesting. There are certainly plenty of them. Today, the Orioles exchanged infielders, acquiring switch-hitter Steve Lombardozzi from Detroit in exchange for Alex Gonzalez. The Tigers needed a shortstop, Gonzalez had a strong spring and now is headed for Detroit. So who starts at second and who starts at third for the Orioles starting March 31? Will Jonathan Schoop make this...

JUPITER, Fla. - The Nationals reassigned Blake Treinen to minor league camp today, ending a lengthy and impressive stint in big league camp for the right-hander. Acquired last offseason in the Michael Morse trade, Treinen was coming off a mediocre 2012 season at high Single-A. In a little over a year, he has turned into a valuable, up-and-coming prospect who wowed scouts and talent evaluators this spring, and a guy who manager Matt Williams sees helping the Nats in the not-too-distant...

SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles will attempt to start today's game at 2 p.m., a delay of one hour caused by heavy rain that continues to fall. Manager Buck Showalter needs to provide innings for his scheduled pitchers. Losing a fourth game this spring due to weather would be a major disruption. Steve Lombardozzi arrived at the Ed Smith Stadium complex after today's trade with the Tigers. "I like him. Always have," Showalter said. "I'm excited about it. Dan (Duquette) and I have talked...

JUPITER, Fla. - Steve Lombardozzi won't end up playing far from his hometown, after all. Traded by the Nationals to the Tigers in the December deal that brought Doug Fister to D.C., Lombardozzi was shipped to the Orioles today. In return, Detroit gets veteran shortstop Alex Gonzalez. Lombardozzi, a Columbia native and fan favorite while with the Nats, might now not only get a chance to break camp with the O's, but also be a regular contributor. The O's are still searching for a starting...
