Young's command could help bring stability to O's rotation

5 days ago | masnsports.com | Brendan Mortensen

The O’s rotation could get a shot in the arm this afternoon. Brandon Young, the Orioles’ ninth-ranked pitching prospect according to MLB Pipeline, is set to make his major league debut against the Cincinnati Reds. The right-hander brings elite command, and thus the ability to work deep into games, to a rotation in need of innings. “He has been outstanding,” said longtime Tides broadcaster Pete Michaud. “His first two starts were lights out.”And that’s not an exaggeration.
After long road derailed by injuries, Henry finally debuts out of 'pen

6 days ago | masnsports.com | Bobby Blanco

About 2 ½ years ago, Cole Henry’s career in professional baseball faced a major setback. After thoracic outlet syndrome surgery in August 2022, the idea of him pitching again came into serious question. And his chances of making the major leagues with the Nationals were slim-to-none. But the right-hander continued to work his way back, trying to overcome a procedure that had consumed the careers of Stephen Strasburg, Will Harris, Matt Harvey and others.
MLB suspends López three games, Martinez one game

1 week ago | masnsports.com | Roch Kubatko |Brendan Mortensen

PITTSBURGH – Major League Baseball has suspended Nationals reliever Jorge López three games "for intentionally throwing at Andrew McCutchen of the Pirates" and manager Davey Martinez one game in the wake of Wednesday night’s incident. López has appealed his suspension and remains eligible to pitch until a hearing takes place. Managers are not permitted to appeal suspensions, so Martinez will be forced to sit out today’s series finale at PNC Park, with bench coach Miguel Cairo taking over.
"The Bird's Nest" talks Baltimore's start to the season

The middle of April is not the time to panic. The O's need to string together some wins, and some more complete performances like last night's victory. However, given the O’s slow start to the new campaign, yesterday afternoon was an appropriate time to run some diagnostics. That’s what Annie Klaff and I tried to do on this week’s episode of “The Bird’s Nest.” You can find the full episode here: https://masn.me/qd2u9frr.

1 week ago | masnsports.com | Roch Kubatko |Brendan Mortensen

PITTSBURGH – Good morning from PNC Park, where the sun is shining and the Nationals and Pirates are set to wrap up their four-game series with an early, 12:35 p.m. matinee. The Nats need to win this one to salvage a split. Having already lost two of three in Miami to begin this road trip, there’s some real pressure to emerge victorious today.
Game 18 lineups: Nats at Pirates

1 week ago | masnsports.com | Roch Kubatko |Brendan Mortensen

PITTSBURGH – The Nationals won Tuesday night’s game, 3-0, but it came at a cost. Paul DeJong fractured his nose when he was struck by a pitch in the face, and he’s now on the 10-day injured list, joining CJ Abrams, who was lost over the weekend to a hip pointer strain. The left side of the Nats infield suddenly is quite thin.

Ryan Mountcastle rises to fifth in the order. O’Neill is batting .265/.339/.490 with three doubles, a triple, two home runs and eight RBIs in 14 games. He played right last night and doubled a runner off second base.

Gunnar Henderson batted cleanup last night, relinquishing the leadoff spot to Jordan Westburg in a right-handed heavy order. Cedric Mullins stayed in center field, but Jorge Mateo played second base instead of Jackson Holliday. Ramón Urías, batting .343 with a .410 on-base percentage, sat on the bench. A decision also was made to withhold Heston Kjerstad against Guardians left-hander Logan Allen and put right-handed hitting Ramón Laureano in left field.
Herz officially out for season following Tommy John surgery

1 week ago | masnsports.com | Roch Kubatko |Brendan Mortensen

PITTSBURGH – DJ Herz had Tommy John surgery today, officially sidelining the Nationals left-hander for the 2025 season after three weeks spent hoping the major elbow procedure would not be necessary. Herz had his elbow ligament replaced by orthopedist Keith Meister in Dallas, according to manager Davey Martinez. He did not get the additional internal brace procedure some pitchers, including teammate Josiah Gray, have opted for in recent years.
Benches empty and bullpen implodes again in 6-1 loss

1 week ago | masnsports.com | Roch Kubatko |Brendan Mortensen

PITTSBURGH – A sleepy game between the Nationals and Pirates, one that saw the two teams combine for one run through six innings before a quiet, four-figure crowd at PNC Park, turned loud in the bottom of the seventh tonight. Loud because of Jorge López’s inability to throw strikes. Loud because of the unwarranted clearing of benches and bullpens his lack of command caused.
