Bradish vows 'childish' lapse will not happen again after Orioles win

Bradish’s fifth‑inning lapse — dropping a throw from catcher Adley Rutschman and then failing to recognize Chase Meidroth advancing, allowing an unearned run that briefly put the White Sox ahead — nearly altered the game, but the Orioles rallied to win. Bradish owned the mistake, calling it “childish” and promising it won’t happen again, while he continues to work on command after Tommy John rehab as the bullpen blanks the opposition and Baltimore’s bats retake the lead.

Orioles lose Eflin to Tommy John, out for season

Zach Eflin underwent UCL reconstruction (Tommy John) surgery for the Orioles, ending his season and likely sidelining him through at least the first half of 2027 after he left his season debut with elbow discomfort; a re-examination confirmed ligament damage. The 32-year-old veteran, who signed a one-year, $10 million deal with Baltimore last offseason, will hit the open market next winter as the Orioles lean on a rotation anchored by Rogers, Bradish, Baz and Bassitt, with Cade Povich likely getting a look as a fifth starter while Eflin rehabs.

Orioles Lock In Shane Baz on Five-Year, $68 Million Extension

Baltimore is finalizing a five-year, $68 million extension with pitcher Shane Baz, giving him two extra years of control after he pitched 166 1/3 innings in 2025 with a 4.87 ERA. The deal includes a $4 million signing bonus and salaries of $1 million (2026), $7 million (2027), $10 million (2028), $21 million (2029) and $25 million (2030). The Orioles acquired Baz in a multi-prospect trade last year and are betting on continued upside as they shape their rotation.

Orioles add versatile Blaze Alexander in Strowd trade

Baltimore acquired infielder Blaze Alexander from Arizona in exchange for right-hander Kade Strowd and two minor leaguers, Wellington Aracena and José Mejía, in a 40-man neutral trade. Alexander, 27, has a .237/.322/.366 MLB line with a 95 wRC+ and offers multi‑position versatility, likely serving as a top bench option for Baltimore as it builds depth around its young core. Arizona clears fringe roster depth, particularly in its bullpen, while Strowd is a controllable depth arm with options. The move continues Orioles’ strategy of adding flexible infield/utility pieces to bolster their roster.

Orioles Acquire Bryan Ramos, Designate Weston Wilson for 40-Man Space

The Orioles acquired infielder Bryan Ramos from the White Sox to add depth and designated Weston Wilson for assignment to clear a 40-man roster spot; Ramos, a former White Sox signee with limited MLB success in 2024-25, has shown minor-league versatility, while Wilson—a 100-game MLB utility man—was DFA’d and could be outrighted to Triple-A if unclaimed, continuing Baltimore's aggressive 40-man roster churn.

Nationals games will stream in the DC market via Nationals.TV, while out‑of‑market games can be watched on the ESPN app. The move follows a long-running rights dispute and MLB settlement, part of a broader push toward league-controlled regional broadcasts after nine teams ended contracts with Main Street Sports, raising questions about MASN’s future and whether the Orioles can sustain the network.
