The Orioles knew that the bullpen wasn’t equipped to provide length this afternoon. The only decision was which reliever to send down. Left-hander Bruce Zimmermann was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk this morning, and the Orioles selected Chris Vallimont’s contract. Nick Vespi was spared after tossing three scoreless innings last night. Zimmermann has

PHILADELPHIA – Happy July, everyone! The second half of the Nationals' season is officially underway, as they have played 81 games with 81 to go, starting with this afternoon’s second game of a series against the Phillies. The Nationals have a chance to do something they haven’t done since 2021: Go on a winning streak of more than three games. Afte

The bullpen never rests. The Orioles made another move this morning, selecting Chris Vallimont’s contract from Triple-A Norfolk and optioning left-hander Bruce Zimmermann. Reliever Mychal Givens was transferred to the 60-day injured list to create room on the 40-man roster. He’s headed down to Sarasota next week and will pitch in the Florida Comple

PHILADELPHIA – It was an easy move for the Nationals to make when they found out Patrick Corbin needed to go on the bereavement list for a family matter. Corbin had just pitched a gem Wednesday in Seattle, leading the Nats to a 4-1 victory over the Mariners. His spot in the rotation won’t come up again until Tuesday against the Reds, so the Nats co

It was quite interesting and maybe even a little controversial this week when MLBPipeline.com released an updated top 100 prospects list that elevated O’s prospect Jackson Holliday from No. 2 to the No. 1 prospect in the game. Holliday leapfrogged Cincinnati’s Elly De La Cruz to get the top spot, with De La Cruz moving from No. 1 to No. 2. And this

Cedric Mullins’ status as one of the longest tenured players on the Orioles roster brings a responsibility that he embraces. Counseling the young prospects who could learn from his own experiences. Good and bad. Mullins wrapped his arms around Kyle Stowers’ situation while they were at the spring training complex in Sarasota. Stowers was trying to

The players-only meeting held by the Twins after Wednesday’s game in Atlanta must have lit a fire under the team. Or perhaps the searing words from their manager. Orioles manager Brandon Hyde predicted before tonight’s game that the Twins would get hot. His words rang true. Dean Kremer surrendered two more home runs to increase his season total to

PHILADELPHIA – The Phillies have been one of the hottest teams in June. Unfortunately, the Nationals can look back to when their rivals took two of three in D.C. at the beginning of the month as the turning point. After the Nats won the first game on June 2, the Phillies won the next two to take the series. Entering this rematch at Citizens Bank Pa

With a 40-42 record, the Minnesota Twins would be in last place in the American League East and 15 games out of first place. But as they open a series tonight with the Orioles at Camden Yards, they are tied for first place. Going into today, the Twins and Cleveland (39-41) were both two games under the .500 mark - a spot the Orioles have not been i
