The Orioles have brought pitcher Chayce McDermott to Baltimore and put him on the 24-hour medical taxi squad. McDermott is here in case Dean Kremer’s forearm soreness necessitates a stay on the injured list. Samuel Basallo is catching again tonight after his walk-off home run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning – which also was his firs

Davey Johnson, one of baseball’s most successful managers who took over the Nationals at a time of unexpected chaos and led them to their first postseason berth, has died at 82, the team confirmed this morning. Johnson, who had dealt with a number of medical issues later in life, lived outside Orlando with his wife, Susan, since his retirement foll

CHICAGO – It’s another beautiful day at the Friendly Confines, where the Nationals will look to shrug off Friday’s 11-5 loss to the Cubs and get back to the winning ways they previously discovered against the Marlins. To do that, they’re going to need a good start out of Brad Lord. The rookie right-hander had been on an impressive run for months, b

Davey Johnson never lacked confidence or brought into question who was in charge during his tenure as a major league manager. Asked one day in Baltimore to predict an outcome involving his team, Johnson grinned and said, “I always bet on me.” It became one of his most famous quotes. Johnson informed the media in 1996 of his plans to shift future Ha

A record that the baseball world viewed as unbreakable almost stayed intact because of a brawl on June 6, 1993 at Camden Yards – two years and three months before Cal Ripken Jr. played in his 2,131st consecutive game to pass Lou Gehrig. The delay lasted 20 minutes after benches and bullpens emptied. Orioles starter Mike Mussina hit Bill Haselman af

“Leading off for the Dodgers, pitcher Shohei Ohtani.” That's where the oddities began. The Orioles prepped for the wrong Dodgers starter. Their starter left with an injury. Their rookie catcher came within a strike of sending the game to extra innings before hitting a walk-off home run that spun the night into something worth celebrating. And boy,

Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino was heading back indoors around 3:30 p.m. when he found out that the Dodgers weren’t starting Tyler Glasnow tonight at Camden Yards. “My watch just buzzed me when I was walking in from early BP,” he said. “I thought somebody was messing with me, but apparently not.” No, it was true. The Dodgers scratched Glasn

CHICAGO – The only thing more frustrating than Jake Irvin’s recent collapse has been the lack of any concrete answers for what ails the Nationals right-hander. Irvin has insisted all along he’s healthy, with his on-and-off velocity drops likely a product of mechanics instead of anything physical. His answers after each laborious start include some

The Orioles have made the following roster move: RHP Elvin Rodríguez claimed off waivers by the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The Orioles went from missing Shohei Ohtani to facing him tonight to begin a three-game series against the Dodgers at Camden Yards. Tyler Glasnow was scratched and Ohtani will make tonight’s start. He was scheduled for Monday. Ohtani has a 4.18 ERA in 11 starts this season. He’s struck out 44 batters in 32 1/3 innings and surrendered only three hom
