The Orioles are attempting today to win their 11th series before flying to Toronto and beginning a two-city road trip. Mychal Givens threw his bullpen session today and could be activated by the weekend. Manager Brandon Hyde was going to check on Givens after completing his media obligations. Asked if Givens could accompany the Orioles on their tri
MIAMI – After dropping the first two games here against the Marlins, the Nationals need a win this afternoon to avoid a sweep. That’s a position they are all too familiar with from last year. The Nationals lost five of their six series against the Fish in 2022, putting themselves in position to get swept in all five, and actually losing each game o
Not only is 19-year-old shortstop Jackson Holliday tearing it up in his first full pro season, but he is closing in on being ranked the top prospect in baseball, something that the Orioles' Adley Rutschman and Gunnar Henderson did before him. In the latest and updated rankings, Holliday is now No. 3 in the top 100 by MLBPipeline.com and No. 6 via B
MIAMI – It had been 46 days since Corey Dickerson’s last at-bat in a major league game. He was 0-for-3 with a walk over the Nationals’ first two games of the season before landing on the 10-day injured list with a left calf strain. So, forgive him for not wasting any time in giving the Nats a big swing when he stepped to the plate for the first tim
The Orioles finish their 10-game homestand this afternoon and fly to Toronto, returning to division competition that also includes a series in the Bronx. Let’s start our morning by reading too much or too little into some of the Orioles’ recent decisions. One of these days we’re gonna get it just right. Anthony Santander at first base. It happened
MIAMI – MacKenzie Gore had to grind through his last start on Friday against the Mets. He needed 96 pitches to get through four scoreless innings. Manager Davey Martinez said before Gore’s start tonight that the young left-hander needed to pound the strike zone to be more efficient with his pitches. Gore was able to stay in the zone, but that wasn’
A scout who includes the Orioles among the teams he tracks regards Kyle Bradish as a starter capable of winning on a consistent basis in the majors. He grades Bradish highly and agrees to disagree with others in the profession who aren’t quite as sold. They’ve debated it. No two reports are exactly alike. “He has something,” the scout said this wee
MIAMI – There was a noticeable change in the Nationals clubhouse at loanDepot Park this afternoon. Jake Alu had a locker and Joey Meneses didn’t. At first, it seemed like a curious development. But it turns out to be a joyous roster move. The Nationals announced that Meneses has been placed on the paternity list with his fiancé, Mitzy Guzman, givin
If the Orioles want to win another series, they are going to need two wins the next two days in this four-game series against the Los Angeles Angels. They have split the first two, with Baltimore winning 7-3 last night. The Orioles (27-15) remain 4.5 games behind Tampa Bay, which won again Tuesday night. Overall, the Orioles are 5-3 on this 10-game
Jorge Mateo is on the bench again tonight to rest his legs before the Orioles finish their homestand on Thursday and hit the road for series against the Blue Jays and Yankees. Mateo is 5-for-43 this month after batting .347/.395/.667 in his first 23 games. “It’s nothing about offense,” manager Brandon Hyde said when explaining Mateo’s absence from
