Means never imagined that he’d be injured and done pitching for the entire summer, but he’ll make the most of it. “Those were games I circled on the list to try to make it to,” he said. The left-hander came b

Rougned Odor stood on the grass in front of the Orioles’ dugout tonight and waited to hug Adley Rutschman in the second inning, a tight embrace that lasted almost as long as the ball’s flight before it landed in front of the railing above the scoreboard in right and bounced onto the field.

PHILADELPHIA – It was only 15 pitches, all fastballs, thrown with care off the bullpen mound at Citizens Bank Park this afternoon. But for Sean Doolittle, it was the most significant step yet in his attempted return from a sprained elbow ligament. And the fact he came out of today’s session feeling strong physically was reason enough for Doolittle
