Elevated to leadoff spot Hays is starting in left field and batting leadoff for the Orioles on Tuesday versus the Athletics.
Impact It will be the first time this season that Hays has hit higher than fifth. The 27-year-old has done very little at the plate over the last week but did have a two-hit night -- including a home run -- Monday. Normal leadoff man Cedric Mullins is batting ninth Tuesday.

Slugs second homer Hays went 2-for-4 with one double, one homer, one RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 5-1 victory over the Athletics.
Impact Hays tacked on an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth innings by hitting a ball over the fence in center, marking his second long ball of the 2023 season. His 2-for-4 night was a welcome sight for fantasy managers, as he was in the midst of an 0-for-13 skid at the plate over his last four matchups entering Monday's contest.

Gets Monday off Hays is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.
Impact Despite churning out six hits while starting in all three games of the Orioles' season-opening series with the Red Sox, Hays will head to the bench Monday. His absence from the lineup is likely little more than manager Brandon Hyde wanting to ensure that Kyle Stowers gets a chance to make a start early on in the season, as Hays otherwise looks to be locked into a near-everyday role.

Five hits in loss to Red Sox Hays went 5-for-5 with a homer, two doubles and two runs scored during Saturday's loss to the Red Sox.
Impact Hays came just short of the cycle, as he doubled in his final chance and decided not to take a chance on the bases. The homer came off Chris Sale in the first inning, and it's the first of the season. Hays was solid in the Grapefruit League after a disappointing 2022 season, and the success has carried over to begin the 2023 campaign.
APRIL 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Looks ready for season Hays has gone 7-for-19 through eight Grapefruit League games.
Impact Three of Hays' hits have left the yard, and he's added seven RBI and four runs scored. It's safe to assume the 27-year-old will open the season in a starting role, though it's possible someone like Kyle Stowers or Terrin Vavra could challenge Hays for his spot in left field later in the season. Hays played in a career-high 145 games last year, posting a solid .250/.306/.413 slash line with 16 home runs, 60 RBI, two stolen bases and 66 runs scored.

Avoids arbitration with Orioles Hays and the Orioles agreed on a one-year, $3.2 million contract Friday, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.
Impact Hays and the organization will avoid arbitration after coming to terms on a deal for 2023 on Friday. The outfielder batted .250 with 16 home runs, 60 RBI, 66 runs and two stolen bases over 535 at-bats in 145 games with Baltimore last season. The 27-year-old has the inside track to remain the Orioles' starting left fielder in 2023.
