When we talk about some of the top outfield prospects on the O’s farm, everyone mentions Colton Cowser and Heston Kjerstad, but fewer make note of Hudson Haskin. But after a very solid 2022 season, when he played all year for Double-A Bowie, Haskin deserves to be noticed. He was on Monday in Sarasota. Needing more players on a split-squad day, the
How Nationals will try to compensate for loss of Cavalli

Nationals
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – The loss of Cade Cavalli to Tommy John surgery is a crushing blow to the 24-year-old right-hander and to the Nationals, who were hoping their top pitching prospect would enjoy a healthy run of success in his first big league season. Cavalli may still enjoy a long run of success in 2024 and beyond. But in the meantime, the Na
Mazara on much-needed single, revisiting reduced rotation competition

SARASOTA, Fla. – Nomar Mazara knew that the media was ready to speak with him last night in the bullpen area, but fans weren’t done asking for his autograph. He signed baseballs tossed to him over the fence that separated them. One kid asked for his cap, which he kept on his head.    Told in jest that he’s a man of the people, Mazara smiled and sai

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Wily Peralta has been doing this long enough to know not to stress over a couple of rough outings early in spring training. The veteran right-hander debuted with the Brewers in 2012 as a 23-year-old, and more than a decade later he’s trying to crack the Nationals’ Opening Day roster off a minor league contract. So when Peral

SARASOTA, Fla. – Cole Irvin became the first Orioles pitcher to exceed four innings tonight, going 4 1/3 against the Blue Jays in his return to the Grapefruit League. Irvin stayed back in camp Saturday while the Orioles traveled to Dunedin, doing his work on the Camden Yards field. There’s no roster drama for Irvin. All that’s left is to find out w
Cavalli: "I'm going to be back, and I'm going to better, I promise"

Nationals
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Cade Cavalli sat down in Davey Martinez’s office Wednesday evening, with Mike Rizzo also in attendance, and braced for the news from his manager and general manager. What they told him about the MRI taken of his elbow earlier that morning – a full tear of the ulnar collateral ligament, requiring Tommy John surgery – stung li

Nationals
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – It’s not exactly a happy day at Nationals camp, where news of Cade Cavalli’s upcoming Tommy John surgery has cast a pall over everything. But there’s a game to play tonight, and a season to continue to prepare for. That process will continue with a 6:05 p.m. contest against the Mets. This was Josiah Gray’s day to throw, but

SARASOTA, Fla. – Two injured candidates for the backup first base job are in better health and nearing returns to the lineup. Ryan O’Hearn is relieved that the MRI on his right knee didn’t reveal any damage. He’s receiving treatment to remove the inflammation. “Today it feels really good,” he said this afternoon. “A full day off yesterday, and did
