The Orioles’ strategy for beating the heat wasn’t sustainable, but they had a solid plan for winning a game. How does a team prepare for a first-pitch temperature of 100 degrees? “By being inside,” said interim manager Tony Mansolino. The Orioles didn’t hit this afternoon or plan on taking batting practice before the next two games. But they eventu
SAN DIEGO – As he watches his teammates play every night from the dugout, Dylan Crews tries to trick his mind into thinking he’s still a part of the active roster. Deep down, he knows he’s not, and there’s nothing he can do on the field to help the Nationals win. But it’s the only way the rookie outfielder knows how to keep his mind in the right pl
SAN DIEGO – Hello from beautiful Petco Park, where the Nationals begin the second leg of their three-city trek through Southern California tonight with the opener of a three-game series against the Padres. Though they legitimately played well for most of the weekend series in L.A., they made just enough mistakes at critical moments and wound up los
Orioles infielder Jorge Mateo is beginning his injury rehab assignment Tuesday night for Triple-A Norfolk. The Tides are hosting Gwinnett. Mateo is on the 10-day injured list with left elbow inflammation caused by a May 31 collision with Heston Kjerstad in right-center field. He was eligible to return on Tuesday but needs to get some at-bats. “I fe
Infielder Jordan Westburg remains out of the Orioles lineup for tonight’s series opener against the Rangers at steamy Camden Yards. Westburg is day-to-day with a sprained left index finger. Gary Sánchez is the designated hitter and batting fourth. That’s sort of like getting a break. Coby Mayo is starting at first base. Ramón Laureano is batting se

Ryan O’Hearn has opened up a commanding lead in voting for American League designated hitter for next month’s All-Star Game in Atlanta. O’Hearn has received 937,205 votes to stay well ahead of the Yankees’ Ben Rice (409,336). This would be O’Hearn’s first All-Star selection. Nelson Cruz in 2014 is the only Orioles designated hitter to be elected by
LOS ANGELES – It’s easy to overlook now, because of the ultimately lopsided nature of Sunday’s game, but the Nationals and Dodgers were actually engaged in a tight, closely played contest into the seventh inning. Even after Jose A. Ferrer served up Max Muncy’s grand slam in the bottom of the sixth, the Nats only trailed 4-3, with plenty of opportun
NEW YORK – The Orioles almost have become numb to the injuries ravaging their roster again in 2025. Catcher Adley Rutschman won’t return until after the break due to a strained left oblique, marking his first career trip to the IL. Infielder Jordan Westburg is day-to-day with a sprained left index finger, but he's going to join Rutschman if he isn’
LOS ANGELES – Michael Soroka was cruising, - dominating, if we’re being honest - a Dodgers lineup that rarely finds itself in such a position. And thanks to Nathaniel Lowe’s latest clutch blast, the Nationals were in control at Chavez Ravine, looking to pull off what could only be considered an improbable weekend series victory over the defending W
