The good vibes that gained strength for the Orioles in St. Louis are weakened for the predictable reasons. The club isn’t built to withstand injuries to key players, and the cluster is a killer. Beating the Cardinals in the final game of the series with virtually no bench and with the bullpen almost empty in the late innings is more astounding now

No major league club has played better, or particularly pitched better, this month than the Astros. The Houston staff that walked into Nationals Park tonight had surrendered a grand total of 12 runs over the last 11 games. Not surprisingly, all 11 resulted in victory for Dusty Baker’s squad. So consider what the Nationals just did on this Saturday

Stephen Strasburg and Joe Ross are ready to shift into a regular, five-day pitching routine that could prepare them to join the Nationals’ rotation sometime next month after completing their latest simulated games with no issues. Strasburg, who is recovering from last summer’s thoracic outlet surgery, and Ross, who is recovering from March’s surger

DETROIT — Like hitting and offense? Boy, do I not have a game for you. The Orioles, without the prominent bats of Austin Hays and Ryan Mountcastle, fell to the Tigers 3-0 this afternoon. The two teams combined to ground into six double plays.  "Obviously they're two huge losses, incredible hitters and guys that you want in your lineup, but at the s

Very little went right for the Nationals on Friday night. They trailed 5-0 in the top of the first, and though Josiah Gray did right the ship after that, the lineup did nothing of consequence to try to mount a comeback. They’ll hope for a much better outcome tonight against the Astros, really hoping they can start stringing together some hits. (Or,

Left-hander Paul Fry might not make it back to Baltimore. The Orioles designated Fry for assignment this afternoon and claimed right-hander Beau Sulser off waivers from the Pirates. Sulser has three minor league options, and he’s reporting to Triple-A Norfolk. Fry, 29, allowed eight earned runs and nine total with seven walks in 12 innings with the

The Orioles have recently won two series where they lost the first game and then won the last two. They did that on the recent homestand against both Boston and Kansas City. Now they try to add Detroit to that list after Friday’s 4-2 loss at Comerica Park. It was a frustrating night for the Baltimore offense as it stranded four runners over the fir

Jorge Mateo bounced around for his entire career.  In 2016, Mateo was ranked the 30th best prospect in baseball as a member of the New York Yankees organization. The speedster was traded to Oakland in 2017, and was traded once again to San Diego in 2020.  That year, the shortstop finally made his debut for the Padres. Except, that season, he didn’t

This afternoon, the Orioles made the following roster moves: Claimed RHP Beau Sulser off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates and optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk.Designated LHP Paul Fry for assignment.

The Orioles strengthened their bench this afternoon in Detroit by recalling outfielder Ryan McKenna from Triple-A Norfolk and optioning reliever Denyi Reyes to the Tides. Reyes made his major league debut last night and tossed two scoreless innings with two strikeouts. McKenna was 5-for-19 with two doubles with the Orioles. He had a three-homer gam
