Though he won’t undergo an MRI until later today, Corey Dickerson was already placed on the 10-day injured list this morning by the Nationals, who couldn’t afford to wait for test results on their veteran left fielder’s left calf. Needing another healthy outfielder on the active roster for today’s series finale against the Braves, the Nats called u

BOSTON – The Orioles will try for the series win this afternoon with the latest outfield alignment putting Terrin Vavra in left field. Three games and three different left fielders, including Anthony Santander on Opening Day and Ryan McKenna last night. Jorge Mateo is out of the lineup after sustaining two cuts on his right index finger last night.
Game 3 lineups: Nats vs. Braves

Nationals
It’s not particularly fair to MacKenzie Gore, who takes the mound today wearing a Nationals uniform for the first time in a regular season game. The left-hander shouldn’t have to deal with any added pressure in his long-awaited club debut. But make no mistake: The Nats really need him to pitch well. When you drop the first two games of the season b
It's bounce-back Sunday for the Orioles after a brutal ending yesterday in Boston

How do the Orioles bounce back after such a brutal loss? I don’t have that answer, but what choice do they have? A good thing about baseball sometimes is that it's everyday nature. They have another game today and need to win it to win this series. I’ve been in their clubhouse over the years a day after a tough, tough loss and am always surprised a
Bemboom beats odds to get back on Opening Day roster

BOSTON – A long season awaits Anthony Bemboom, whether he’s in the majors or catching at Triple-A, but he’s already set aside some time for reflection. How could he not? Bemboom has been through a lot, starting with his decision to re-sign with the Orioles following the 2022 season. He was put on the 40-man roster and removed a month later, already

BOSTON – Adley Rutschman lined a single into left field in the first inning today, his determination growing to reach base in every plate appearance in 2023. To keep spinning major league and franchise records. The ball left Rutschman’s bat at 109 mph, and it was a foreshadowing of things to come against Chris Sale. But there was no way to predict
Gray tortured again by homers in ragged season debut (updated)

Nationals
It’s never a good idea to infer regular season performance based on spring training numbers, but in the case of Josiah Gray there seemed to be some valid reason to believe what he did in Florida in March could translate into what he would do in Washington in April. Not the 0.55 ERA Gray posted in Grapefruit League play, as impressive as that looked

Orioles
The Orioles and Boston Red Sox resume their season-opening series at Fenway Park this afternoon. The Orioles had 15 hits - including homers from Adley Rutschman and Ramón Urías - drew nine walks and stole five bases in their Opening Day 10-9 win on Thursday. The Orioles hit .395 (15-for-38) in the win and produced four doubles and two homers while
García gets chance to lead off, Plawecki signs minors deal

Nationals
Davey Martinez admitted this spring he might be trotting out different-looking lineups on a daily basis, based on matchups, lefty-righty splits and other assorted information. Whether the Nationals manager realized all along how different his Game 1 and Game 2 lineups would look is a valid question. The lineup card Martinez submitted for this after
