CHICAGO – Richie Martin is starting at second base and Rougned Odor is on the bench for tonight’s series opener against the White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field. Odor usually starts against right-handers, and the White Sox are sending Johnny Cueto to the mound. Tyler Nevin is starting at third base. Anthony Santander is in left field and Austin Hays
Orioles trade Dorrian to Brewers

CHICAGO – The infield depth at the higher levels of the minor league system cost Patrick Dorrian a place in the Orioles organization. Dorrian, on Triple-A Norfolk’s roster, was traded to the Brewers this afternoon for cash considerations. The Orioles acquired Dorrian from the Pirates on June 26, 2019 to complete the May 27 trade of pitcher Yefry Ra

Thursday morning Nats Q&A

Nationals
A Nationals club that was exhausted from a brutal stretch of 14 games in 13 days not long ago is now about to enjoy its second day off this week. Some schedule, huh? Nevertheless, nobody's complaining about this quirk, because they desperately needed it. After completing a two-game series in Baltimore, the Nats took a late-night flight to Texas and
Britton's turn to rotate Henderson and Westburg at shortstop

Having two shortstop prospects on the same roster and in the same lineup requires one consistent plan on how to handle their development. Manager Kyle Moore experienced it with Double-A Bowie. Buck Britton is doing the same at Triple-A Norfolk. Britton doesn’t have Joey Ortiz and Adam Hall to consider, but there’s still a pleasant excess. Gunnar He
DL Hall closes in but still some work to do, plus O's notes and Hays' cycle

Orioles
He is one of baseball’s best pitching prospects, lefty DL Hall of the Triple-A Norfolk Tides, the Orioles top draft pick from 2017. They selected the lefty from a Georgia high school No. 21 overall and now he is on the doorstep of the majors. But when he'll take that next big step is the question now for the Orioles as Hall closes in. Perhaps his l

Nationals
BALTIMORE – The Nationals and Orioles knew it was going to start raining at some point tonight, it was just a matter of when. And once it began, whether it would stop for any reasonable length of time. So that turned tonight’s game into something of a three-way battle between Patrick Corbin, Tyler Wells and Mother Nature. And in the end, Mother Nat
Hays hits for cycle in 7-0, six-inning win (updated)

Orioles
Rain began falling again tonight in the bottom of the sixth inning, threatening to form more puddles on the track and bring a second delay. Conditions that normally aren’t ideal for cycling. But in the baseball sense, they worked just fine for Orioles outfielder Austin Hays. Hays lined a double into left-center field off Nationals reliever Steve Ci

O's game blog: Looking for a series split against Washington
Steve Melewski
Orioles
After being shut out 3-0 on Tuesday night in Baltimore, the Orioles need a win at home tonight versus the Washington Nationals to split this two-game interleague series. And they turn to their hottest starting pitcher to get it done. The Orioles have won four consecutive starts made by right-hander Tyler Wells (4-4, 3.62 ERA) and he has recorded th

Several rehabbing pitchers getting closer to return

Nationals
BALTIMORE – Though none of them are ready to return yet, several rehabbing Nationals pitchers are moving closer to rejoining the active roster, a potential boon for an overworked staff this summer. Mason Thompson began a rehab assignment for Triple-A Rochester today and tossed a scoreless inning, with a strikeout during the frame. The right-hander,

The Orioles are listing three of their four starters for the upcoming series in Chicago. Saturday afternoon remains wide open and is largely dependent on how manager Brandon Hyde uses his bullpen. Austin Voth could get the ball again after starting Sunday against the Rays as a last-minute replacement for Jordan Lyles, who was scratched due to a sto
