Gunnar Henderson is playing for Triple-A Norfolk again tonight in Charlotte. It could be the last game on his injury rehab assignment. The Orioles need a little more time to decide. Henderson is 5-for-16 with two home runs in four games with the Tides. He’ll stay on the field for seven-to-nine innings tonight. The complication in reinstating Hender

TORONTO – The Nationals are listing Michael Soroka as their scheduled starter for Sunday’s game against the Diamondbacks, suggesting the right-hander won’t have to miss any time after departing his season debut with a biceps cramp. Soroka came out of Monday night’s game against the Blue Jays after spiking a slider to the first batter he faced in th

Jorge Mateo is the shortstop tonight and Jordan Westburg is playing second base in a right-handed heavy Orioles lineup against the Red Sox. Jackson Holliday is on the bench. Gary Sánchez is catching, with Adley Rutschman serving as the designated hitter. Tyler O’Neill is in left field and Ramón Laureano is in right. Cedric Mullins, batting ninth, i

TORONTO – For the second time already in this young season, the Nationals find themselves needing a win to avoid a series sweep. They managed to do it Sunday against the Phillies. Now they need to do it again against the Blue Jays. The good news: MacKenzie Gore is on the mound, looking to pick up right where he left off Opening Day. The lefty was u

Freshman Max Wagner wasn’t a key piece of Clemson’s lineup. Entering the season, he was ranked as the 31st best freshman in the Atlantic Coast Conference by D1Baseball, and No. 36 by Perfect Game.  Wagner did lead the team in a stat category in his first season: games off the bench. He was often used as a defensive replacement at the hot corne

TORONTO – He singled. He doubled. He stole a base. He doubled again, this time driving in the tying run. He was diving all around second base, in one instance making one of the best defensive plays of his career. CJ Abrams was everywhere Tuesday night. And though the Nationals ultimately lost 5-3 to the Blue Jays, it wasn’t for lack of effort by th

Tyler O’Neill has limited exposure to Red Sox left-hander Garrett Crochet, who faces the Orioles tonight at Camden Yards. Only two at-bats – and one home run. O’Neill is going to play anyway. He’s one of the primary outfielders and he hits .273/.378/.549 against lefties. But he’s hitting everybody so far in his brief Orioles career. Given a day off

TORONTO – A Nationals lineup that had been having a devil of a time scoring runs since arriving north of the border finally found a way to scratch out a few clutch hits, turning a sleepy game at Rogers Centre into a tight contest late. Now it was up to a beleaguered Nats bullpen to keep this game against the Blue Jays tied and give that lineup anot

TORONTO – Davey Martinez insists he planned to give Dylan Crews the night off all along. True or not, the benching comes at an appropriate time for the slumping rookie, who is still seeking his first hit of the 2025 season. So for the Nationals’ game tonight against the Blue Jays, it’s Alex Call in right field and batting eighth, not Crews. “Honest

TORONTO – The Nationals have done some things well through their first four games, but not enough things well. Which is why they enter tonight’s contest with a 1-3 record, in search of a win before things really turn upside down on them. Their best path to making that happen? More offense. Though they’ve actually hit for power so far, with eight ho
