The Orioles have returned catcher Adley Rutschman to the active roster for the final six games of the 2025 season. Rutschman was reinstated today from the 10-day injured list after recovering from a right oblique strain and completing his rehab assignment. Triple-A Norfolk’s season ended yesterday. Rutschman is hitting .227/.310/.373 with 16 double

NEW YORK – The circus catch in the bottom of the fifth was going to be the highlight of Jacob Young’s day. Shoot, the highlight of his season. Until the Nationals center fielder found a way to make an even more meaningful catch in the bottom of the ninth. Maybe the degree of difficulty wasn’t as high, but the magnitude of the moment far exceeded th

The Orioles reach another milestone today with their last off-day in 2025. We’re counting it. The next break will extend through the winter and into spring training. There could be an instructional camp in January, but we’re not counting it. Do the last six games on the schedule matter? Winning is better than losing – if we learned anything from Bu

The best of Kyle Bradish isn’t displayed in each start since his return from elbow surgery and the 60-day injured list. There’s room to grow, which excites a club that’s been limited financially in its freedom to reach for an ace. Bradish is here and he’s pitching like one again, carrying a one-hit shutout into the sixth this afternoon before the O

NEW YORK – On a day that saw Daylen Lile suffer a scary-looking knee injury, Nasim Nuñez homer, Jacob Young make one of the craziest circus catches in team history and Jake Irvin author his best start in two months, the Nationals ultimately had to ask the unlikeliest of relievers to close out a one-run victory over an opponent fighting for its play

NEW YORK – Lost in the shuffle of Saturday night’s dramatic win was the play that nearly cost the Nationals the game. Moments before Daylen Lile hit his go-ahead, inside-the-park homer in the top of the 11th, CJ Abrams was tagged out trying to advance to third base on Andrés Chaparro’s grounder to the left side of the infield. It was a potentially

The Orioles close out their four-game series against the Yankees this afternoon with Kyle Bradish making his fifth start. He’s allowed six runs and 16 hits in 22 innings, with eight walks, 30 strikeouts and only two home runs. Bradish hasn’t faced the Yankees since May 2, 2024, his first outing after leaving the injured list. He allowed one run in

NEW YORK – Has everybody caught their breath since the end of Saturday’s game? Whew, what a finish for the Nationals, who blew a three-run lead in the eighth and ninth, only to win it in the 11th on Daylen Lile’s inside-the-park home run. Just like that, the Nats had perhaps their signature win of the season while the Mets saw their lead in the Nat

Plotting an offseason strategy to improve the roster and the Orioles’ chances of reaching the playoffs in 2026 requires a deep-dive into the weaknesses that must be addressed and an accurate measurement of payroll flexibility. Contending comes at a cost. The trade deadline, free agency and Félix Bautista’s shoulder surgery created openings across t

The punishment that Tomoyuki Sugano absorbed tonight in the first inning looked a lot worse on the scoreboard than on the field. Still counts, though. Aaron Judge poked a two-out single into right-center field at 88.2 mph, and Cody Bellinger followed with a looping single to right at 68.5. Giancarlo Stanton lined a sweeper the opposite way, the bal
