WASHINGTON – The Orioles are getting closer to gaining reinforcements for their well used bullpen. Manager Brandon Hyde said today he is hopeful that both Mychal Givens and Dillon Tate can begin rehab assignments sometime next week. Both right-handers have officially been on the injured list since Opening Day. Givens is out due to left knee inflamm

Victor Robles is getting his first day off of the season tonight, which isn’t all that newsworthy on its own merits. The player who will take over in center field in Robles’ absence, though, is somewhat surprising: Alex Call. Call is getting the nod in center for tonight’s game against the Orioles instead of Lane Thomas, who will remain in right fi

The Orioles activated Kyle Bradish from the 15-day injured list this morning and he’s starting tonight against the Nationals in D.C. This is how it was expected to play out, with Bradish returning to the roster on his first day of eligibility. Bradish lasted 1 2/3 innings in his season debut in Texas before Jonah Heim’s line drive slammed off his r

The Orioles have made the following roster moves: Reinstated RHP Kyle Bradish from the 15-day Injured List. He will start tonight’s game.Optioned RHP Logan Gillaspie to Triple-A Norfolk after yesterday’s game.

Can the Nationals score a run tonight? That’s what’s at stake in the finale of this two-game series against the Orioles. OK, so maybe that’s a little too harsh of a preview, but after Tuesday night’s 1-0 loss, it’s hard not to think about such seemingly trivial matters. A lineup that couldn’t score a run off Dean Kremer will now attempt to do it ag

The low point of an April that hasn’t gone according to plan for Dominic Smith came in the bottom of the third Tuesday night at Nationals Park. Standing at the plate with one out and runners on second and third, with a chance to drive in at least one – if not two – teammates and give starter Josiah Gray some desperately needed run support, Smith sa

WASHINGTON – When it was over, right-hander Dean Kremer said what everyone must have thought about his start to the 2023 season. As the Orioles pitcher took the mound in Washington last night, the same night that demoted starter Cole Irvin was pitching at Triple-A, Kremer’s ERA stood at 9.49. “Of course there are frustrations, anytime you come out

The Orioles entered D.C. yesterday leading the majors with a .357 on-base percentage, and their .807 OPS ranked third. They scraped and clawed their way to a 1-0 win over the Nationals, finally able to lean more on their pitching, with starter Dean Kremer offering 6 2/3 scoreless innings. The club's .305 on-base percentage last year ranked 22nd, wh

Josiah Gray has unquestionably gotten off to a good start this season, especially once he overcame some early home run foibles in his first outing of the year. That’s important to the Nationals in the grand scheme, because improvement from the 25-year-old right-hander is high on their list of goals for 2023. It would be nice, though, if the Nats co

WASHINGTON – With an ERA of 9.49 and WHIP of 1.784 through his first three starts, O’s right-hander Dean Kremer was pitching nothing like he had yet during the 2022 season. But on a night when he needed to turn around his season and give the pitching rotation a boost, he did both in the opener of a brief two-game series at Nationals Park. Kremer pi
