After the Nationals wrap up a 10-game homestand with today’s afternoon finale against the Marlins, they will board a plane to embark on a nine-game road trip out west. First stop: San Francisco, to face a familiar foe in the Giants. The Giants just swept a three-game series in D.C. last weekend, so the Nats will look to start their three-city road

In recognition of the tremendous impact Orioles Hall of Famer Mo Gaba had on the Orioles, the City of Baltimore, and the entire Birdland Community, the Orioles today announced plans for the inaugural “Mo Gaba Day” at Oriole Park on Thursday, July 28, as the team hosts the Tampa Bay Rays at 12:35 p.m. ET. On the second anniversary of his passing, th

NEW YORK – The Orioles are trying to avoid being swept today in a three-game series at Yankee Stadium for the first time since 2017. The 10-day road trip wraps up in the Bronx cold with left-hander Bruce Zimmermann on the mound and Ryan Mountcastle still on the bench. Mountcastle was scratched yesterday with neck stiffness. Cedric Mullins is the de

It’s a sunny day in D.C., though still pretty chilly for late April. Not unlike the weather the Nationals will see in San Francisco this weekend. But before they leave for a three-city road trip out west, in which they’ll play nine games in 10 days, the Nats have to take care of business against the Marlins to wrap up this homestand while trying to

Lucius Fox thought it about more in previous games than he did Wednesday night. Yes, he knew he remained hitless to begin his big league career. It’s tough not to see those three zeros in succession listed right next to his oversized visage on the scoreboard at Nationals Park every time he steps to the plate. But he didn’t feel as much pressure as

NEW YORK – The Orioles aren’t celebrating baseball’s reduction in rosters from 28 players to 26 beginning May 2. They want the extra bodies after a truncated spring training, and with their rotation requiring additional support. They’re expected to carry 14 pitchers after learning this week that the limit has been raised, but there’s room to be fle

For more than three hours on a blustery, 58-degree, late April night, a crowd of 13,356 sat at Nationals Park and waited for the home ballclub to do something, anything, that might be worthy of a robust reaction. It didn’t happen while Erick Fedde was on the mound for 4 2/3 laborious innings. It didn’t happen while any of the first four Nationals r

NEW YORK – The one pitch that Tyler Wells wanted back tonight traveled 417 feet. The rest of his start carried the former reliever a little farther into his transition back to a starter’s life. It was a pretty sweet ride. Wells made his deepest dive this season with five innings and 72 pitches in the Orioles’ 5-2 loss to the Yankees in The Bronx. H

Progress for Stephen Strasburg these days is incremental. Much as everyone would love to know when the right-hander is finally going to make his season debut for the Nationals, nobody really knows the answer yet. The road to recovery from thoracic outlet surgery, which Strasburg had in late July, is not as clearly defined as the rehab calendar for

NEW YORK – Ryan Mountcastle was scratched from tonight’s lineup with neck stiffness. Anthony Santander moved from right field to the designated hitter spot, and Ryan McKenna is playing right. Manager Brandon Hyde stopped by McKenna’s locker to pass along the update. “He’s getting treatment right now on the side of his neck,” Hyde said, adding that
