His steal Saturday was his third of the year and first since June 4. The outfielder is at a .280/.323/.452 slash line with 12 homers, 48 RBI, 57 runs scored, 30 doubles and two triples through 109 contests.

Homer, double in loss Hays went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Tuesday's 10-3 loss to the Padres.

Impact Hays was a bright spot in an otherwise ugly game for the Orioles. The outfielder has needed a spark in recent weeks -- he has just three multi-hit efforts over 28 games since the All-Star break, a span in which he's hitting a mere .192. The slump has knocked his slash line down to .281/.321/.445 with 11 homers, 46 RBI, 54 runs scored, two stolen bases and 27 doubles over 106 contests. He's seen less playing time lately, and with Aaron Hicks (hamstring/back) on the roster again, Hays can't afford to stay cold at the plate much longer.

Returns to lineup Hays (general soreness) is starting in left field and batting cleanup in his return to the lineup Tuesday versus the Astros, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Whether Hays is dealing with an injury or not, fantasy managers in weekly leagues will still want to verify that he's back in the lineup Tuesday, when the Orioles open a six-game week with a matchup with the Astros.
