Why the Nats now give young pitchers midseason breaks
Mark Zuckerman
Nationals
ARLINGTON, Texas – Among the most pertinent questions facing the Nationals over the season’s final 3 1/2 months involve their top two pitching prospects. How soon will Cade Cavalli make his major league debut? And will Cole Henry make his in 2022? The bad news: Neither is currently pitching for Triple-A Rochester, each having just been shut down fo
A future O's lineup could have a heavy homegrown flavor

As we watch some homegrown Orioles excel in recent days – with players like Austin Hays, Ryan Mountcastle and Adley Rutschman coming to mind – it might be exciting for Birdland to ponder a future with even more of the same.

Orioles
CHICAGO – Austin Hays is afraid of heights. He’s tried to overcome it, much to his credit, but prefers his feet planted on the grass unless he’s scaling an outfield fence in pursuit of a fly ball. The phobia dates back to his childhood, as it often does. “My dad’s a general contractor, chief inspector, so he goes up on scaffolds for a living and in

Mark Zuckerman
Nationals
ARLINGTON, Texas – They can get all the quality pitching they want, which they did tonight from Paolo Espino and Co. The Nationals know it matters only if they can also get the kind of timely hitting that has eluded them too often this season, especially from the most important batters in their lineup. So when those guys delivered tonight, when Jua
Orioles stay calm and keep winning (updated)

Orioles
CHICAGO – The Orioles haven’t won as many games as they’ve lost, but they don’t back down, whether it’s from the adversity brought upon them by another injury that wrecks the rotation, or a 99 mph fastball in the ribs and the aggression from dugouts and bullpens emptying onto the field. Jorge Mateo was drilled on the left side in the second inning

From May 8-10 they won three in a row, taking two in a row at home against Kansas City and the first game of a series at St. Louis.

Nationals
ARLINGTON, Texas – The Nationals have not yet finalized a full rehab plan for Stephen Strasburg but don’t feel an urgent need to devise one while the right-hander is in the early stages of rest from the stress reaction in his ribs that sent him back to the injured list 10 days ago.

Notes on Bradish, Watkins, Diplán and Odor

Orioles
CHICAGO – Kyle Bradish began feeling some discomfort in his right shoulder a few days ago after his bullpen session, and the Orioles had to put him on the 15-day injured list this afternoon, with fingers crossed that it isn’t an extended absence. Bradish has made 10 starts in his first major league season and posted a 7.38 ERA and 1.770 WHIP. He ha
