The Orioles have made the following roster move: Traded RHP Spenser Watkins to the Houston Astros in exchange for cash considerations.

Gunnar Henderson is leading off and serving as designated hitter for tonight’s series opener against the Mariners at rainy Camden Yards. Henderson is batting .358 in June after bringing a .201 average into the month, the third-largest increase in the majors with a minimum 50 at-bats, according to STATS. The Orioles didn’t reinstate center fielder C

The Nationals made an interesting choice when placing Victor Robles back on the 10-day injured list with back spasms in the lumbar spine. They could have recalled Alex Call, who was originally optioned down to Triple-A Rochester when Robles was activated Friday, even though it was within 10 days because he would have been replacing an injured playe

When the Triple-A Norfolk Tides won 8-3 at Nashville on Wednesday night, they became first-half champions of the 20-team International League. The first half ends this Sunday and by already winning it, Norfolk clinched its first playoff spot since 2015. There was no big on-field celebration for a few good reasons. For one, not wanting a host of top

Brink Ambler glances at the lineup card for Triple-A Norfolk and a smile creases his face. And he isn’t filled with joy because of the two Orioles on injury rehab assignments. Cedric Mullins and Ryan Mountcastle would liven up the place if it needed a spark. It does not. The joint was jumping long before their arrivals. The Tides are the first half

Although they lost an off-day, the Nationals were hoping to use this makeup game against the Diamondbacks to create some momentum before heading out on a nine-game road trip. Yesterday’s win over the Cardinals was only their fourth since the start of June. Putting together back-to-back wins to end this homestand would have made for a happy flight o

Two weeks ago, the Nationals were looking at this date on the calendar and expecting to spend their off-day in sunny San Diego. But because of the postponement of the June 8 finale against the Diamondbacks due to the poor air quality from the Canada wildfires, they’re instead still in cloudy D.C. ready to play an early afternoon makeup game. That m

And we’re back. After the Nationals finally got a win here yesterday to end their series against the Cardinals, they’re right back to play today’s makeup game against the Diamondbacks. What should have been the series finale between these two teams two weeks ago was postponed due to the poor air quality from the Canada wildfires to make this now a

It has been quite a season for the Orioles’ Triple-A Norfolk Tides affiliate. They broke out of the gates this year going 7-1 and were 11-4 after 15 games. After 29 games in early May they were 22-7. Last night they rode that strong start all the way to the first-half championship of the International League. With an 8-3 win at Nashville, Norfolk (
