The Orioles confirmed earlier today that Dylan Bundy was recalled from Double-A Bowie. The unknown is how long he will stay with them. It could be brief or he could make it through the remaining weeks of September. The Orioles, at the risk of sounding cliched, are taking it one game at a time. Manager Buck Showalter has grown accustomed to the pace. "We'll see what tomorrow brings," he said. "Tomorrow brings getting in (Boston) at 8 in the morning." So much for a relaxing off...

It's been nearly three months since Ryan Zimmerman had the cortisone shot which turned around his season. Today, Zimmerman is getting another dose of cortisone to help his ailing right shoulder. Manager Davey Johnson said today that Zimmerman will get another cortisone shot before today's game, his fourth such shot this season. Minor offseason surgery to clean up the shoulder is a possibility, Johnson said. Zimmerman's shoulder inflammation has been bothering him a bit recently, and he's...

Right-handers Craig Stammen and Chien-Ming Wang are the likely candidates to get a spot start on Sunday, according to manager Davey Johnson. Johnson does not want any of his regular starting rotation to have to come back on three days rest and prefers a right-hander against the Brewers' power-hitting lineup. He has not made his selection yet, wanting to wait to see how his bullpen is taxed here in the Dodgers series. "It depends on these next couple of games," Johnson said. "It could be...

Because of injuries, Michael Morse hadn't played since Sept. 11 and Danny Espinosa feared he'd have to miss some time. Well, both are in the Nationals' lineup for the first game of today's doubleheader against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Morse sat out with a left wrist ailment while Espinosa hurt his left shoulder, an injury since revealed as a bone bruise and not a torn labrum. For the Nats: RF Jayson Werth CF Bryce Harper 3B Ryan Zimmerman 1B Adam LaRoche LF Michael Morse SS Ian...

Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette said Dylan Bundy will be available out of the O's bullpen tonight and for now, his role is in the 'pen and not as a starter. "We brought him up today to support the bullpen," Duquette told MASNsports.com. "Our immediate need is we may need some innings for tonight's game. Long-term, we think he's going to be a starter in the big leagues. But sometimes it's best to have pitchers get their feet wet out of the bullpen, right? That is where...

The Orioles just sent out a press release confirming that they have recalled pitcher Dylan Bundy from Double-A Bowie. Bundy, 19, had been throwing in the instructional league before the Orioles contacted him early this morning with instructions to meet them in Seattle following their 18-inning win over the Mariners. When he makes his first appearance, Bundy will be the first Oriole to debut before his 20th birthday since right-hander Mike Adamson on July 1, 1967. Adamson was 19 years, 291...

The Orioles today announced that they have recalled right-hander Dylan Bundy from Double-A Bowie. When he makes his first appearance, Bundy (19 years, 309 days) will be the first Oriole to debut before his 20th birthday since right-hander Mike Adamson, July 1, 1967 (19 years, 291 days). Bundy, the Orioles first round selection (fourth overall) in the 2011 First Year Player Draft, went a combined 9-3 with a 2.08 ERA (103.2IP, 24ER) in 23 starts with three affiliates this season, striking out...

The man that set up the pitching program for Dylan Bundy this year, director of pitching development Rick Peterson, believes the Orioles' top pitching prospect will do well in the majors after his call-up today. "I think he's going to handle it fine. In my opinion, this is what Dylan expected. He's put himself in this position," Peterson said of the 19-year-old. "Emotionally he will be totally fine. He won't be overwhelmed." Peterson set up a plan where Bundy threw just a few innings...

Right-hand hitting outfielder Steven Souza, Jr., took a big step forward in 2012, putting together a full season that displayed his power and skill on the baseball diamond. With a .290 average, 17 homers and 72 RBIs in 70 games at low Single-A Hagerstown, Souza earned a promotion back to high Single-A Potomac and kept on going. He finished the year with a combined .297 average in 97 games, with 23 homers, 85 RBIs and 14 stolen bases. Although Souza missed some time with various injuries to...

There wasn't a game played yesterday at Nationals Park, but the Nats still received some good news. The Braves came back with three runs to tie the Marlins in the ninth inning and send the game to extras, but Miami ended up winning in the 10th, 4-3. That cut the Nationals' magic number to win the division to 10, after it had been stuck on 11 since last Wednesday. The Nationals' other magic number, the one to clinch a playoff spot, is currently at three. That means that if the Nats win...
