MIAMI – The Nationals are getting closer to activating Chad Kuhl off the 15–day injured list while he continues his recovery from right foot metatarsalgia. Though they still have time to decide, the question is now becoming: How will they adjust the pitching staff when he’s finally ready to return? Kuhl is eligible to come off the IL now, having be

After starting the year with the Orioles and giving up 15 runs and 17 hits over 12 2/3 innings his first three starts, lefty Cole Irvin, 29, found himself back in Triple-A. This was the first time he made more than one start in the minors since 2019. With an 0-2 record, 10.66 ERA and 1.97 WHIP, the club decided that he needed a reboot. And he got i

Cole Irvin is in Baltimore to serve as a long reliever. Nothing else to it. The Orioles don’t have immediate plans to reinsert Irvin into the rotation, but manager Brandon Hyde said, “He’s going to start for us down the road at some point for sure, I just don’t know when that’s going to be.” “We see him as a starter,” Hyde added, “but right now we

MIAMI – Hello from loanDepot Park, where they make sure to stylize that with a lowercase L. I don’t understand why because even now in its third season since the name change from Marlins Park, I still read it as if it’s a capital I. But I digress … Josiah Gray will get the ball to start this quick three-game road trip in South Beach. He’s been fant

Anthony Santander gets his second consecutive start at first base tonight against the Angels at Camden Yards. Santander hadn't played the position in the majors until last night, his experience confined to nine games in A-ball in 2016. He handled every chance flawlessly against the Angels. Terrin Vavra stays in right field. Ryan O’Hearn bats ninth

The Orioles have made the following roster moves: Recalled LHP Cole Irvin from Triple-A Norfolk.Optioned RHP Logan Gillaspie to Triple-A Norfolk after yesterday’s game.

Cole Irvin is returning to the Orioles. The left-hander’s stay at Triple-A lasted a month and cost him a spot in the rotation. However, he’s back in the home clubhouse for tonight’s game against the Angels at Camden Yards. The Orioles announced that they recalled Irvin from Norfolk and optioned reliever Logan Gillaspie, who barely had time to unpac

No, Joey Meneses hasn’t come close to duplicating his remarkable two-month debut for the Nationals late last season. But the 31-year-old hasn’t come close to falling completely flat, either. It may have taken him a while to find his swing again, but Meneses is now producing at the plate in a manner that suggests his out-of-nowhere August and Septem

The Orioles have faced Los Angeles Angels' pitcher Shohei Ohtani twice now and each time they hit three home runs off the pitcher who joins only Babe Ruth as players in MLB history with 500 or more pitcher strikeouts and 100 or more homers at-bat. And on a night he would allow five runs in seven innings, Ohtani still got the win, thanks in part to

The annual revealing of the non-roster invites for spring training bring equal parts curiosity over the biggest names and the group of suspicious omissions. The latter can be fueled by prospect status or by previous opportunities in the majors. There's got to be a reason for the exclusion. The same holds true when the Orioles share their list of ex
