SARASOTA, Fla. – The camp roster churn continued today. Another infielder gone, this time replaced by a pitcher.

The Orioles have acquired left-hander Matt Krook from the Yankees for cash considerations. Diego Castillo has been designated for assignment to create space on the 40-man roster.

Castillo was claimed off waivers from the Phillies on Friday, with shortstop Livan Soto designated for assignment.

The Angels claimed Soto earlier today. The Orioles had claimed him from the Angels on Feb. 8.

Nationals manager Matt Williams poor handling of Sunday's dugout fight between Jonathan Papelbon and Bryce Harper paved the way for deeper questions about the skipper's future when general manager Mike Rizzo addressed the media on Monday afternoon. Following the melee in the eighth inning in which Papelbon lunged at Harper and then placed his hands on the superstar's throat, Williams sent Papelbon back out for the ninth inning of a 4-4 game against the Phillies because he's the Nats closer....

The Nationals will look to Jordan Zimmermann to salvage a split with the Cubs in today's series finale. Aside from his second start of the season against the Red Sox at Fenway Park, Zimmermann has been stellar. The right-hander has allowed just seven earned runs over 41 innings in his last six starts to lower his season ERA to 2.88. "I've been feeling good," Zimmermann said. "I was a little off in the beginning and everything's working now, and right where I want to be." Zimmermann's...

PHILADELPHIA - Outfielder Jayson Werth returned to the Nationals clubhouse Sunday after completing a three-game rehab stint at Single-A Potomac. Nats manager Matt Williams confirmed that Werth will travel with the team to Boston tonight but was not ready to say whether he'll be in the lineup tomorrow at Fenway Park. "Well, we'll see," said Williams. "We'll see how he wakes up tomorrow. Today he's good, so we'll make that determination in the morning." Werth is eligible to play after...

It was a tough matinee for right fielder Bryce Harper in the series finale yesterday. A day after being praised for his patience at the plate, Harper fanned three straight times with wild cuts at Mets starter Matt Harvey's high heat. "He swung at some balls out of the strike zone," said Nationals manager Matt Williams. "The strikeouts were balls up in the zone. With Matt, that ball comes in there pretty quickly. One of the keys against him is to make sure we swing at strikes. He got Harp a...

LAKELAND, Fla. - Davey Johnson may have retired as Nationals manager after the 2013 season, but he continued to keep close tabs on his former ballclub from afar by watching virtually every game they played on television last year. "It's in your blood," Johnson said. "It was fun. I was addicted to it. I would check the paper. I don't think I missed but one or two games all season long." Despite intently watching his old team from afar, Johnson had not seen the Nats in person since he left...

VIERA, Fla. - Nationals manager Matt Williams led the first day of spring training workouts for pitchers and catchers on Saturday, just a short time after the club announced it had exercised its 2016 option on his contract. That decision means Williams, who skippered the Nats to their second National League East title in three seasons and won NL Manager of the Year honors in his rookie campaign on the bench, will be with the club for at least two more seasons. "I'm excited to be a part of the...
