BALTIMORE – As this season transitions from one of early dreams of a surprise run to one that’s still primarily focused on the future, the Nationals decided to make a pair of transactions today that will give them a chance to look at two more young players at the expense of veterans. The Nats promoted first baseman Andrés Chaparro and reliever Orla

The off-day enabled the Orioles to freshen their bullpen heading into the Nationals series after left-hander Cionel Pérez worked back-to-back games at Tropicana Field following an earlier stretch in the month of four appearances in five days. Yennier Cano and Seranthony Domínguez weren’t available Sunday after pitching in the previous two games. Cr

BALTIMORE – Hello from Camden Yards, where the Battle of the Beltways wraps up over the next two nights. The two teams split their two-game series in D.C. back in May, so it’s anybody’s game here this week. The Nationals are still looking for consistency from their rotation, and that includes Jake Irvin, who gets the ball tonight. The right-hander
Baseball’s top prospects take center stage in Beltway Series

James Wood and Jackson Holliday have been dueling all season. Not on the diamond, but in rankings as two of the top prospects in baseball. In whatever order you put them in as two of the best young players in the sport, Wood and Holliday take center stage as they face off on a major league field over the next two nights for the first time in their
Colton Cowser's roller coaster season is trending up again

Orioles
I don’t know if O’s outfielder Colton Cowser enjoys riding roller coasters, but his 2024 season has been like a ride on a coaster. A few big ups and downs. When you add the ups and downs together, he has played in 111 games for the club this year batting .250/.328/.460/.788 with 17 doubles, a triple, 18 homers and 54 RBIs. Cowser leads all MLB rook

The Orioles are home tonight for the first time since July 31, one day past the trade deadline. They split four games in Cleveland, lost two of three in Toronto and won two of three in St. Petersburg, Fla., though the finale made it appear much worse. Strange how that works. Win a series and eat and dress in a quiet clubhouse. The roster has change
Five years later, Nats still searching for Rendon's replacement

Anthony Rendon’s long-awaited return to D.C. over the weekend served as a reminder how lucky the Nationals are not to have re-signed one of the stars of the 2019 World Series run, assuming he would’ve experienced the same injuries and drop in production here as he has in Anaheim. But it also served as a reminder how the Nats have spent the last fiv
A look at Suarez's strong start, Santander's 35th and fan passion on postgame radio

When the O’s lose, as they did yesterday, and I host a postgame radio show, as I did yesterday on WBAL Radio, I can usually guess what will stir up Birdland. This one was easy. Why did skipper Brandon Hyde take out right-hander Albert Suárez when he had a shutout through 6 2/3 innings? Suarez was at 94 pitches, three off his season-high, but he was
