Interesting in that the players who are being rumored and speculated about by media and fans alike are players mostly not currently in the Baltimore clubhouse. There has been more speculation about prospects a step below at Triple-A and questions a

As Tuesday’s trade deadline draws ever closer, the biggest dilemma facing the Nationals has become crystal clear: Whether or not to deal Kyle Finnegan. Most of the other decisions Mike Rizzo faces over the next six days are pretty clear cut. Jesse Winker and Dylan Floro are here on one-year deals and will most likely be traded for the best availabl

Let’s begin the day by trying to figure out what the Orioles are doing with their rotation. And why. Chayce McDermott was on the 24-hour taxi squad yesterday in Miami and the Orioles withheld an announcement on tonight’s starter. Albert Suárez started last night, and he limped off the mound with assistant athletic trainer Patrick Wesley in the thir

After a weekend sweep of the Reds that included a series of notable rallies and some long-awaited power displays from a lineup that desperately needed it, the Nationals returned tonight to face the Padres hoping for at least some carryover effect. Instead, they got the exact opposite. During the course of a lackluster 4-0 loss, they did very little

MIAMI – The first game of the Orioles' road series against the Miami Marlins could have started better. A whole lot better.  As the last of the third inning ended tonight, the Orioles found themselves down three runs and two injured players.

MIAMI – The signs seem to be pointing toward right-hander Chayce McDermott making his major league debut on Wednesday night and getting a start for the Orioles against Miami. But it’s not official yet. McDermott was added to the taxi squad today and could be activated to start tomorrow. “Not yet,” manager Brandon Hyde said pregame when asked about

The Nationals used the days before and after the All-Star break to carry an extra reliever. Turns out they only used him once before sending him back to the minors. Eduardo Salazar, who impressed in his July 14 outing against the Brewers, was optioned to Triple-A Rochester this afternoon, a move necessitated by the return of DJ Herz, who starts ton
