Only the top two minor league affiliates are playing regular season games at this point in the summer, so the Orioles brought their first four draft picks to Camden Yards yesterday – Ike Irish (19th overall), Caden Bodine (30th), Wehiwa Aloy (31st) and Slater de Brun (37th). The group visited the clubhouse, weight room and other areas of the ballpa

MIAMI – The National League East standings still show the fifth-place Nationals trailing the third-place Marlins by 5 1/2 games. If you’ve watched the five games played between these two clubs over the last eight days, you would never believe that. Based strictly on these recent head-to-head matchups, it’s impossible to view the Nats as the inferio

The celebration tonight carried up the right field line, as opposed to center field Saturday after Emmanuel Rivera's two-run single. Samuel Basallo was chased like a thief, maybe because the Orioles stole another win. Basallo dumped a single down the opposite line, hitting chalk with a fly ball that scored Gunnar Henderson in the 11th inning for a

MIAMI – Keibert Ruiz rejoined the Nationals today, though not under the circumstances he or the club preferred. After taking another foul ball off his facemask and experiencing a recurrence of concussion symptoms, Ruiz was pulled off his rehab assignment with Double-A Harrisburg and flown down to Miami to meet with team doctors and determine the ne

Catcher Samuel Basallo has returned to the Orioles lineup tonight after being struck on the right hand by a bunted ball Saturday night against the Dodgers. Jeremiah Jackson is in right field again and batting second. Emmanuel Rivera stays at third base, Dylan Beavers is in left field and Coby Mayo is the first baseman. Ryan Mountcastle serves again

MIAMI – The Nationals and Marlins have played each other a lot over the last week, and there’s still three more games to go in this series. That familiarity means a lot of familiar pitching matchups. We saw Cade Cavalli face Miami for the second straight outing Monday night. And tonight we’ll see both Mitchell Parker and Adam Mazur face these oppos

MIAMI – Cade Cavalli had been in the visitors’ clubhouse at loanDepot Park several times previously. Not because he was a member of the Nationals’ big league roster, but because he had been rehabbing from injuries in nearby West Palm Beach and drove down to Miami when the Nats were in town playing the Marlins to meet with coaches and trainers and f

Each year, in preparation for the MLB Draft, MLB Pipeline ranks their 250 best draft-eligible prospects. From the college ranks to the high school prep class, this list is filled with names that could change the outlook of an organization’s future.  In 2024, that list included the O’s first-round pick Vance Honeycutt, ranked No. 22 among the 250. G

Tony Mansolino walked into the auxiliary clubhouse that serves as the media interview room at Camden Yards, sat behind a table covered in a black cloth, pushing back the microphone as he always does, and waited for the first question. A reporter asked for an injury update. This could have happened just about any day, pregame or postgame, during the

MIAMI – This has not been, by any measure, the rookie season Dylan Crews or the Nationals expected. There was a sluggish start at the plate. Then a lengthy stint on the injured list. And though there have been encouraging moments here and then since his return last month, there still hasn’t been enough consistent production to get anyone excited ab
