I tried posting the lineups from my iPhone a couple of hours ago, but apparently that failed miserably. So let's try this again. Bryce Harper is hitting seventh again today, and he's back in left field with Rick Ankiel playing center against Diamondbacks right-hander Trevor Cahill. Ankiel will hit third today, and Jayson Werth is back in the lineup hitting fifth after missing Sunday's game because of a migraine. Nationals SS Ian Desmond 3B Steve Lombardozzi CF Rick Ankiel 1B Adam...

The Orioles have had a better first month of the season in 2012 than in 2011, both on the stat sheet and in the standings. After April last year, they were 12-13, in third place and 3 1/2 games out. Now they are 14-9 and in second place, one game out of first. Here are other comparisons: * The 2011 team hit .236 and averaged 4.16 runs per game. The team now is batting .249 and scoring 4.17 runs per game. * The team ERA was 4.47 then and is 3.03 now. * The rotation ERA was 4.03 last April...

NEW YORK - Outfielder Nolan Reimold won't make another appearance in this series after an examination in Baltimore today revealed a bulging disk in his back. Reimold is taking a Medrol Dosepack to reduce the inflammation and could rejoin the team in Boston. There are no current plans to place him on the disabled list. Reimold complained of a tingling sensation in his fingers after last night's 2-1 loss to the Yankees. He's previously received treatment and missed games due to stiffness in...

Plenty to pass along coming out of today's pregame session with manager Davey Johnson, which came in a packed press conference room, filled with reporters who flocked to Nationals Park for Bryce Harper's home debut. Johnson said that reliever Brad Lidge will be out around a month after having surgery in Philadelphia to repair a sports hernia. Infielder Mark DeRosa will be out "for sure the full 15 days" as he battles an abdominal strain, says Johnson. The Nats will then go from there to...

NEW YORK - Endy Chavez is back in the Orioles' lineup tonight and playing left field. Nick Johnson will serve as the designated hitter. For the Orioles: Endy Chavez LF J.J. Hardy SS Nick Markakis RF Adam Jones CF Matt Wieters C Chris Davis 1B Wilson Betemit 3B Nick Johnson DH Robert Andino 2B Brian Matusz LHP For the Yankees: Jeter SS Granderson CF Rodriguez 3B Cano 2B Teixeira 1B Jones RF Martin DH Nunez LF Stewart C Hughes RHP

The Orioles today announced that the BROOKS ROBINSON sculpture unveiling originally scheduled for Saturday, May 12 has been postponed until Saturday, September 29. Robinson's sculpture will be unveiled as part of the Orioles Legends Celebration Series, in which the six greatest Orioles of all time will have a larger-than-life bronze sculpture dedicated in the newly designed centerfield picnic grove. "I am sorry I am unable to be there for the originally scheduled unveiling of the Brooks...

Remember Erik Komatsu? The 24-year-old outfielder might be an option for the Nationals yet again. The Cardinals just designated Komatsu for assignment, and if he clears waivers, must be offered back to the Nationals. Komatsu was taken by the Cardinals from the Nationals in December's Rule 5 draft. He was originally acquired by Washington last year from Milwaukee in the Jerry Hariston Jr. trade. There's a chance another team claims Komatsu - who hit .211 in 19 at-bats with the Cardinals...

If you were planning to attend the scheduled May 12 unveiling of the Brooks Robinson sculpture as part of the Orioles Legends Celebration Series at Camden Yards, you're going to have to rework your calendar. Because of health issues, Robinson will not be able to participate in the originally scheduled May 12 event. To allow him to participate in the festivities, the Orioles are moving the statue unveiling to Sept. 30, a Saturday home game against the Red Sox on the regular season's final...

NEW YORK - The Orioles announced today that the Brooks Robinson sculpture unveiling originally scheduled for Saturday, May 12 has been postponed until Saturday, Sept. 29. Robinson's sculpture was supposed to be the second one unveiled in the bullpen area after Frank Robinson's ceremony on Saturday. "I am sorry I am unable to be there for the originally scheduled unveiling of the Brooks Robinson statue," Robinson, who turns 75 on May 18, said in a statement. "My wife, family and I have...

NEW YORK - The Orioles could be a man short for tonight's game against the Yankees. They also might not have their hitting coach in the dugout. Outfielder Nolan Reimold boarded a train back to Baltimore this morning after complaining of a tingling sensation in his fingertips. Head athletic trainer Richie Bancells checked out Reimold and recommended that he be examined by team physicians. The discomfort is believed to be related to the neck stiffness that recently kept Reimold out of the...
