The Nationals said over the weekend that they felt confident if Ryan Zimmerman rested Saturday, Sunday and Monday, he'd be ready to go come Tuesday's game against the Padres. Tuesday's game against the Padres is here, and Zimmerman is not in the lineup. Zimmerman has now had the benefit of three days of rest, but his inflamed right shoulder is apparently still an issue. The Nationals third baseman was a late scratch from Saturday's lineup, but said after the game that the shoulder injury...

Manager Buck Showalter told reporters that Nolan Reimold remains day-to-day with neck stiffness. "He was in yesterday for treatment," Showalter said. "It's getting better little by little. The problem is playing has set him back. He's OK for maybe half to three-fourths of the game, and then as the game goes on, it gets worse. When you have that type of spasm, you also have a strain, the way I understand it, so we're trying to resolve it completely so the game doesn't set him back to...

SALISBURY, Md. - Here is tonight's lineup for the Single-A Delmarva Shorebirds as they host Greenville in their 18th game of the season and first of a six-game homestand with Dylan Bundy making his fourth start at 7:05 p.m. CF - Glynn Davis LF - John Ruettiger 3B - Jason Esposito C - Gabriel Lino RF - Brenden Webb DH - Connor Narron 1B - Nicky Delmonico SS - Mychal Givens 2B - Sammie Starr Delmarva is 9-8 and coming off a series at Greensboro where the Shorebirds lost all three games in that...

In recognition of the 65th anniversary of Jackie Robinson becoming the first African-American player in Major League Baseball, the Orioles will honor a Jackie Robinson Foundation scholar in a special pregame ceremony before their game Tuesday, April 24 against the Toronto Blue Jays. Matthew Robinson, a student at Howard University from Chicago, IL., will be presented with a #42 jersey by Orioles outfielder Adam Jones. Robinson is one of over 1,300 young men and women who were able to attend...

Here are a few news nuggets to hold you until dinner: A virus has swept through the Orioles' clubhouse, and it's hit closer Jim Johnson the hardest. Johnson was hospitalized early this morning with flu-like symptoms. The Orioles are waiting for reports to determine whether it's a virus or food poisoning, but the suspicion is the former. Either way, he's probably not available for tonight's game. Second baseman Robert Andino will leave the club after tonight's game for the birth of his...

SALISBURY, Md. - It is hard to find someone that has seen Dylan Bundy pitch this year that is not raving about his talent and work ethic. The Orioles' 2011 first-round draft pick has pitched nine hitless and shutout innings in three outings so far for the Single-A Delmarva Shorebirds as he prepares tonight to face Greenville at 7:05 at Perdue Stadium in his fourth professional start. Delmarva manager Ryan Minor has seen a lot of young hot shots come along over the years and said Bundy, it...

Nolan Reimold is out of the lineup tonight, which probably means he's still dealing with a stiff neck. He didn't play in the last two games of the Angels series, and the Orioles were off yesterday. The rest apparently didn't help him. Also, Rule 5 pick Ryan Flaherty is starting at third base, with Wilson Betemit serving as the designated hitter and Mark Reynolds sitting on the bench. For the Orioles: Endy Chavez LF J.J. Hardy SS Nick Markakis RF Adam Jones CF Matt Wieters C Chris Davis...

This isn't the real Xavier Nady. Who would be the first to admit it? Xavier Nady. The Nationals outfielder is looking to get back to a consistent level after a slow start. Nady has hit only .159 through 14 games and 44 at-bats. He has managed only seven hits in the early stages with nine strikeouts. But there has been a pretty significant highlight. Nady's pinch-hit home run in the eighth inning April 13 against the Cincinnati Reds was the Nationals' first run and saved the game. It was...

Outfielder Brett Carroll, who was designated for assignment by the Nationals on April 14, has cleared waivers and been outrighted to Triple-A Syracuse. Carroll, who had to clear waivers before he could be outrighted to the minors, has accepted the assignment. Nationals manager Davey Johnson was high on Carroll in spring training because of his versatility, but the journeyman outfielder saw limited playing time with Washington through the season's first nine games, going just 0-for-2 with two...

Adam Jones has yet to meet a conversation he didn't like. He'll engage reporters in the clubhouse and fans on Twitter. While some players like to insulate themselves from everything outside the ballpark, Jones seems to relish the opportunity to connect with anyone interested in Orioles baseball. Tomorrow, you'll have a chance to pepper the O's center fielder and cleanup hitter with questions during a special MASNsports.com live video chat featuring Jones. Starting at 1 p.m. and lasting for...
