In last night’s game with the Angels, the first since the trade deadline, the lineup looked about as standard as we could expect. Christian Franklin and Carlos Narváez were in the bottom of the lineup, but everything else seemed almost normal. Today, against a lefty, things look a little weird. Colton Cowser and Dylan Beavers […]
BALTIMORE—With Ryan Helsley still on the 60-day injured list and Tyler Wells traded to Tampa Bay on Monday, the Orioles are again left without an obvious closer. Wells had four saves in July.

BALTIMORE—Adley Rutschman is already in Boston, getting accustomed to his new team, and his old teammates are getting accustomed to life without him. Grayson Rodriguez, one of Rutschman’s former teammates, pitched against the Orioles. Most games, that would be a big deal, but all the talk around the ballpark on Tuesday night was about the […]

This isn't exactly how he thought his 2026 season would turn out. Just three years removed from an All-Star campaign with 36 home runs, slugger Jorge Soler was hoping to bounce back after missing 80 games last year due to a bad back. But in wrapping up his three-year, $42 million contract, Soler has provided the Angels with just 12 homers, a .203 average, and a career-worst .664 OPS. They have now designated him for assignment.
