The Orioles have made the following roster moves: Recalled LHP Bruce Zimmermann from Triple-A Norfolk.Placed RHP Mychal Givens on the 15-day Injured List with right shoulder inflammation, retroactive to June 1.

The Nationals are back home at last, following an eventful 3-3 trip to Kansas City and Los Angeles. And would you believe they have a chance to climb out of the National League East basement tonight? Yes, that’s right. The Nats (24-32) trail the fourth-place Phillies (25-31) by only game. A win tonight would leave the two teams tied in the standing

SAN FRANCISCO - Coming off a tough day for the pitching staff and continuing a stretch of games without center fielder Cedric Mullins while beginning a six-game road trip against .500 or better clubs, this is a challenging time for the Orioles.  And we thought May was going to be the hard part? The Orioles did fine in May, going 16-12 and that incl

BOWIE, Md. – One small step for a single prospect became a giant leap for the Nationals organization last weekend. When James Wood was promoted from High-A Wilmington to Double-A Harrisburg on Sunday, on the surface level it could be seen as just a fast-rising prospect moving up another minor league level. But for the Nationals, it signified what t

Triple-A rotations rarely seem to duplicate after one or two turns. Can be injury related. Can be tied to major league promotions or demotions. Can be due to the built-in Monday breaks. The Norfolk Tides have used 10 starters in 54 games, and their probables in the Gwinnett series are changing. Left-hander DL Hall started Tuesday night and worked t

A team that was pretty good this year at winning series and winning rubber match games to win series, took an early 4-1 lead Wednesday afternoon. And they took the lead off right-hander Shane Bieber, a former American League Cy Young Award winner who came into this start with an ERA of 3.04 and nine quality starts. The early lead would be gone by t

LOS ANGELES – The Nationals won Wednesday’s series finale at Dodger Stadium thanks to far and away their biggest power display of the season. They blasted five home runs, including two from Keibert Ruiz, to emerge with a 10-6 victory and avoid a series sweep. They headed home having finished 3-3 on a very eventful road trip through Kansas City and

Cedric Mullins goes down with an injury and the outfield dominos fall. Austin Hays started in center field Tuesday night and would have switched to left yesterday except for an illness that kept him out of the lineup. Aaron Hicks roamed the middle for a while, with Ryan McKenna in left. McKenna subbed in left and center in the ninth inning Tuesday,

LOS ANGELES – Luis García skipped out of the batter’s box, looked toward the Nationals dugout and yelled with delight. One inning later, Keibert Ruiz took his time leaving the box, making sure the ball really was going to leave the park, before turning toward his teammates, pounding his chest and letting out a primal scream of his own. At the end o

Under the most ideal circumstances, the Orioles were hoping to squeeze two innings out of opener Keegan Akin this afternoon, hand over the game to bulk reliever Austin Voth and try to avoid using the bullpen again until late in the game. That’s how they drew it up. That’s how it rarely seems to work when the Orioles try it. The Guardians started fo
