SARASOTA, Fla. – Terrin Vavra has recovered from the discomfort in his left shoulder and is starting at third base tonight against the Twins at Ed Smith Stadium. Vavra is 6-for-11 with a double, triple and home run as he fights for a spot on the bench. He was supposed to start in left field the day that he was scratched. Ryan McKenna gets another s

When I interviewed O’s Hall of Famer Mike Bordick this week to get his take on the club’s talented young infield prospects, he made some interesting points that involve the words "comfort" and "competition."  The first was used to show that when a club like the Orioles has so many talented young players, those players can see plenty of familia

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – In his perfect world, Davey Martinez would have a left-hander in his Opening Day bullpen. Two of them, actually. By now, though, the Nationals manager probably realizes there’s no such thing as a perfect world. Certainly not when it comes to this specific area. It’s been a near-annual struggle since Martinez joined the organ

SARASOTA, Fla. – The rest of Jackson Holliday’s teammates who stuck around for Wednesday’s exhibition game were gone from the complex or back indoors to shower and change into their clothes. The kid wasn’t ready to leave the field. He couldn’t just walk away from fans who lined up to get his autograph. They handed him pieces of paper or baseballs s

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Ask Cade Cavalli what he liked about his start tonight against an Israel club prepping for the World Baseball Classic and the young Nationals right-hander sighs and has to think about it for a moment. “I got some outs,” he said. “Kept it to just one run. Just tried to minimize damage whenever I put myself into that little ja

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – The Nationals continue to believe Victor Robles will miss only a few days after bruising his left knee making a difficult catch Wednesday afternoon, but they were concerned enough to send the center fielder for a follow-up ultrasound today. Robles wasn’t seen at The Ballpark of the Palm Beaches while reporters were in the cl

The Orioles have reassigned RHP Wandisson Charles, RHP Ofreidy Gómez, INF Coby Mayo, RHP Morgan McSweeney, OF Robert Neustrom, INF César Prieto, C Ramón Rodriguez, RHP Kade Strowd, INF Curtis Terry, RHP Cole Uvila, RHP Chris Vallimont, and RHP Ryan Watson to minor league camp.

Earlier today, Orioles Chairman & CEO JOHN ANGELOS and Maryland Governor WES MOORE visited The Battery Atlanta to explore the 365-day entertainment experience around Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves. Last month, Governor Moore and the Orioles announced a joint commitment to creating a long-term, multi-decade, public-private partnership t

CLEARWATER, Fla. – Spring stats don’t appear to carry much weight with Orioles manager Brandon Hyde. He’s only checked the number of plate appearances. Otherwise, he has no interest. It’s more about the quality of the at-bats and a pitcher’s control in the strike zone, he says. “Put very little stock in what their numbers are like.” Some of the com

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Shalom … er, hello from The Ballpark of the Palm Beaches, where tonight the Nationals take a break from official Grapefruit League play to face Team Israel in a tune-up for the upcoming World Baseball Classic! It won’t just be the opponent that looks different tonight. The rules will be different as well. As in, the old rule
