Adam Frazier returns to the Orioles lineup tonight after being unavailable due to a sore right thumb. Frazier is batting ninth and playing second base. Ramón Urías is the third baseman and Gunnar Henderson is the shortstop. Anthony Santander, who homered twice last night, is in right field. Ryan Mountcastle is the designated hitter. The Rays won th

NEW YORK – As he watched one of his team’s most popular current players fracture his leg Wednesday night and then learned one of the icons of the franchise’s previous generation had finalized plans today to announce his retirement, Davey Martinez tried to stick with the mantra that has defined his six-year tenure as Nationals manager: "Just go 1-0

NEW YORK – What had sadly become obvious earlier this year is now becoming reality: Stephen Strasburg will be forced to retire from the Nationals, unable to recover from his 2021 thoracic outlet surgery enough to pitch again in a major league game. The Nationals are not publicly announcing anything yet, but a source confirmed the decision has been

Henderson’s HRs are a big hit with Maryland Lottery’s Home Run Riches second-chance winners.   As the calendar turns toward the final month of the season, the Baltimore Orioles remain perched atop the American League East Division. A large part of that success was the meteoric rise of rookie Gunnar Henderson.    While the team is pushing for the po

Left-hander Danny Coulombe is rejoining the Orioles’ bullpen tonight. Coulombe was reinstated from the 15-day injured list after one appearance with Triple-A Norfolk on his rehab assignment. Left-hander Nick Vespi was optioned for the fourth time this season. Left biceps tendinitis forced Coulombe on the IL after he posted a 2.77 ERA and 1.103 WHIP

NEW YORK – Stone Garrett has a fractured left fibula and is headed back to Washington for further tests and potentially surgery, though the Nationals are cautiously optimistic the outfielder’s injury is not as bad as it initially appeared Wednesday night. The Nats placed Garrett on the 10-day IL today and recalled infielder Jeter Downs from Triple-

NEW YORK – After a difficult Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium, the Nationals are right back here for their series finale, hoping there’s at least some encouraging news about Stone Garrett and focused on trying to win the rubber game of the series. Garrett was officially placed on the 10-day injured list with a fractured left fibula, so the Nationa

The Orioles have now gone 80 consecutive series dating to May of 2022 without being swept in a series. Their win by 7-0 over Toronto last night pushed their incredible streak to 80. No sweep for the Blue Jays and maybe even no series victory if Baltimore can win tonight. The Orioles (78-48) are leading the AL East by two games over Tampa Bay and by

Cole Irvin and Kyle Gibson see nothing wrong with it. Never to be accused of reliever bias in Cy Young Award voting. Give it to the best pitcher, whatever role he fills. Whether he’s on the mound to start the first inning or the ninth. Orioles closer Félix Bautista is aware of the chatter surrounding his candidacy. Irvin dresses only a few lockers

NEW YORK – What was already the Nationals’ worst night in weeks, strictly from a performance standpoint, turned worse in the bottom of the seventh at Yankee Stadium. A 9-1 loss to New York included a disastrous second inning for MacKenzie Gore and a defense behind him that was tough to watch, but that paled in comparison to the sight of Stone Garre
