PHILADELPHIA – Joan Adon will start Thursday’s series finale for the Nationals, rejoining the big league roster to take the rotation spot that recently became vacant with Jackson Tetreault’s injury. Needing someone to pitch against the Phillies after Tetreault landed on the 15-day injured list with a stress fracture of his right scapula, the Nats o

Austin Hays has returned to the Orioles’ lineup tonight after doing some early hitting and informing the club that his right wrist is fine. Hays didn’t play last night and had the wrist wrapped after being hit by a pitch Monday afternoon. He’s starting in left field, with Ryan McKenna in right and Anthony Santander serving as the designated hitter.
Game 84 lineups: Nats at Phillies

Nationals
PHILADELPHIA – The Nationals are going to attempt to win a division game tonight. It’s not something they’ve done very often this season, certainly not recently. Their only win in their last 19 games against a division opponent came June 19, when they beat the Phillies, 9-3, in the finale of a five-game series in D.C. That game was started by Zach

The Orioles discussed potential bullpen moves after last night’s wild 10-9, 10-inning victory over the Rangers and decided upon Beau Sulser, who’s been recalled from Triple-A Norfolk. He was on the taxi squad during the last road trip. Left-hander Nick Vespi was optioned to Norfolk after last night’s game. Vespi was charged with six runs in one-thi

Another crazy night at the ballpark ended with another Orioles walk-off win in the last of the 10th inning. And just like on the Fourth of July, they tied the game with two outs in the last of the ninth and won it an inning later. Adley Rutschman’s double produced the tie Monday and Rougned Odor’s solo homer to right in the ninth produced the 9-9 t

PHILADELPHIA – Will Harris last pitched for the Nationals on May 22, 2021, when he surrendered hits to all three Orioles batters he faced. He wound up on the injured list after that, undergoing thoracic outlet surgery about a week later. Harris reported for spring training this year optimistic about making the opening day roster. He then was shut d
Santander still ignoring trade speculation

Orioles
The chatter starts again, which requires Anthony Santander to tune out. Just ignore it. Can’t control it and won’t let it distract. The trade deadline arrives on Aug. 2, a few days later than usual. Deals can be consummated at any time leading to it, and Santander remains one of the Orioles’ most attractive chips. A hamstring injury lessened his va

PHILADELPHIA – The last time the Nationals set foot inside Citizens Bank Park, Max Scherzer was ready to take the mound for the opener of a doubleheader. Trea Turner was still a member of the team, though he had just been placed into quarantine after testing positive for COVID-19. Kyle Schwarber also was still a member of the team, though he was re

The Orioles didn’t post their lineup today until the clubhouse closed to the media and manager Brandon Hyde finished his daily briefing. Much later than usual. Not the way he wants it done. Hyde knew that Austin Hays wouldn’t play due to a sore right wrist, but he had to wait on Ryan Mountcastle, whose sinus issues restricted him to designated hitt
