NEW YORK – Colton Cowser finally got the phone call. The organization’s No. 2 prospect is joining the Orioles in New York, according to a source. The club is expected to select his contract from Triple-A Norfolk. Space must be cleared on the 40-man roster, and the Orioles could make other moves prior to Wednesday night’s game against the Yankees. T

NEW YORK – The forearm smash delivered by Aaron Hicks in front of the visiting dugout today sounded like a clap of thunder. A home run against his former team deserving of an aggressive celebration. Adam Frazier’s two-run shot later in the inning didn’t carry the same revenge vibes, but it reset a game that was getting away from the Orioles. They c

The home runs surrendered – all three of them – were bad. They accounted for five of the eight runs the Nationals allowed today during an 8-4 loss to the Reds. If you’ve paid any attention to this team this year (or recent years, for that matter), you know that matters less to Davey Martinez than the quality of baseball his team plays. Which is why

It was not the start the Orioles wanted to their final road trip before the All-Star break. They took a 3-0 lead then watched the New York Yankees storm back for a 6-3 victory in the opener of a four-game series in the Bronx. O’s pitching allowed three homers, accounting for five of the six Yankees runs. Center fielder Harrison Bader hit a three-ru

NEW YORK – Austin Hays hit in the cage this morning while the tarp was unrolled at Yankee Stadium, followed by an announcement that the game wouldn't start on time. Bad forecast, but good injury news for the Orioles. Hays is day-to-day with a left hip contusion. He’s avoided the injured list and nearing a return to the lineup. “Trying to give him a

NEW YORK – The Orioles have switched from a balanced roster, going with three catchers today after reinstating James McCann from the injured list. Left-hander Cionel Pérez is on the 15-day IL with left forearm soreness, a move backdated to yesterday. Lefty Bruce Zimmermann has been recalled from Triple-A Norfolk, eligible because he’s replacing an

From the moment last summer he learned he would need Tommy John surgery, Tanner Rainey established his goal for recovery: Return to the Nationals in one year. The right-hander now finds himself one month away from that target date, and though he believes he could be pitching in a major league game come early August, he understands why the Nats are

It’s Independence Day in the nation’s capital, and that means morning baseball. It’s become a great tradition here, the 11:05 a.m. first pitch at Nationals Park. It can be a rush for everyone to get to the park and get prepared for the game, but once it starts it’s always a fun atmosphere. And everyone loves being able to head home early and enjoy

The first four drafts under Mike Elias and his staff with the Orioles saw the club select No. 1, No. 2, No. 5 and No. 1 overall in the MLB draft. That was from 2019 through 2022. They got Adley Rutschman, Heston Kjerstad, Colton Cowser and Jackson Holliday. So yeah, pretty good. You hope to hit it big at the top of the draft. It’s no guarantee, but
