Tonight, the Orioles have a whopping four picks in the top 37 of the MLB Draft.  Baltimore will select at No. 19, numbers 30 and 31 as compensation for losing Corbin Burnes and Anthony Santander in free agency, and at No. 37, which they acquired in a trade that sent Bryan Baker to the Tampa Bay Rays.  Years ago, the O’s farm system was seen as the

The Orioles are ending the first half of the season today with Coby Mayo staying on the bench and the club sticking to its reasoning that winning games is the priority. Mayo has started twice in the last 11 games and is 0-for-6 this month. “I’ve talked to him a few times about it, just trying to communicate with him as good as I can, but a lot of i

MILWAUKEE – The Nationals made a small roster move ahead of their first-half finale against the Brewers. They recalled right-hander Andry Lara from Double-A Harrisburg to take the open roster spot left by Shinnosuke Ogasawara, who was optioned to Triple-A Rochester last night. “Very happy.

The Orioles tweaked their bullpen again this morning, recalling left-hander Grant Wolfram from Triple-A Norfolk and designating right-hander Corbin Martin for assignment. The 40-man roster remains full. Wolfram tossed two scoreless innings as the 27th man in Thursday’s doubleheader and earned his first major league win. He joins Gregory Soto as lef

MILWAUKEE – The Nationals entered Saturday’s matchup with the Brewers needing to put Friday night’s loss behind them. They struggled mightily against opener DL Hall and regular starter Quinn Priester, who combined to hold them to just three runs over the course of the series opener. But today, the Nats would only need to face one Milwaukee starting

Trevor Rogers sat at his locker early this afternoon with headphones on and his mind seemingly clear. Facing the Marlins for the first time didn’t tie his emotions in knots. He churned on the inside but played it straight.  Rogers grabbed his glove, headed to the bullpen to warm up and strung together another terrific outing. What he lacked was sup

MILWAUKEE – Brady House’s bat helped him earn his first promotion to make his major league debut about a month ago. But it’s his glove at third base that’s impressed the most so far over his first 21 big league games. House slashed .304/.353/.519 with an .873 OPS, 15 doubles, 13 home runs and 41 RBIs in 65 games with Triple-A Rochester before getti
