WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Two weeks from today, the Nationals will be taking the field in D.C. to face the Braves in the 2023 season opener. That means there’s still two weeks for things to happen, two weeks for things to change and two weeks for club officials to make decisions on which 26 players will take the field March 30. But with a full month

SARASOTA, Fla. – The Orioles are playing under the lights again tonight, which allows the team to report to the clubhouse later than usual. Temperatures are supposed to dip into the 50s. Also a good way to prepare for a March 30th Opening Day in Boston. Left-hander Cole Irvin gets the start against the Blue Jays and Kyle Bradish could find his inni

JUPITER, Fla. – Though they won’t know results of the MRI on Cade Cavalli’s elbow until later today or Thursday, the Nationals are already making plans to proceed without the rookie right-hander, with a veteran starter in line to take his place for the time being. “Chad Kuhl, right now, is going to get an opportunity to probably start if Cade can’t

JUPITER, Fla. – It’s an unusually chilly morning here in South Florida, with cloudy skies, a steady wind from the north and a chance of some rain this afternoon. Doesn’t seem like anything that will impact the Nationals’ game against the Marlins, but it does have guys wearing pullovers on top of their jerseys despite the fact it’s mid-March in Sout

SARASOTA, Fla. – Almost any major outlet that ranks the top 100 prospects in baseball has the Orioles' Gunnar Henderson topping their list at No. 1. In fact, he tops the rankings for Baseball America, MLBPipeline.com, ESPN, FanGraphs.com and Baseball Prospectus. But it won't surprise anyone around the O’s minor leagues, or O’s fans that are getting

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. – For 43 minutes Tuesday afternoon, the Nationals watched Cade Cavalli mow down the Mets and allowed themselves to dream a bit. The organization’s top pitching prospect was as electric as he’s been all spring, maybe the best he’s looked anytime he’s worn a major league uniform. With an upper-90s fastball, two different types of

I’m flying back into Sarasota this afternoon, with the only off-day of spring training allowing for a later arrival time. The Twins have three off-days and the Rays have two. How did the Orioles miss out on this? No rainouts so far, and just one split-squad game with a delayed start while the other was halted early. The camp roster is down to 51 pl

The Orioles have made the following roster moves:   Optioned INF Joey Ortiz to minor league camp.Reassigned RHP Kyle Dowdy, SS Jackson Holliday, and INF Connor Norby to minor league camp.   The Orioles’ Spring Training roster currently has 51 players (36+15 NRI).

BRADENTON, Fla. – It had to be a pleasing sight to everyone in an Orioles uniform today as they played the Pittsburgh Pirates in Bradenton. Closer Félix Bautista was back on the mound and was touching 99 mph and throwing pitches by hitters in his spring debut. To better control exactly when he would pitch today, the Orioles had Bautista start the g

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. – The first 42 pitches of Cade Cavalli’s afternoon were some of the best he’s thrown this spring. The rookie right-hander was pumping out 97 mph fastballs and mixing in curveballs, sliders and a couple of changeups, retiring eight of the first nine Mets hitter he faced and surrendering zero hard contact.
