BALTIMORE ORIOLES NEWS

Gunnar Henderson - Smacks homer in win Henderson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and three total runs scored in Wednesday's 8-5 win over the Dodgers.

Impact Henderson provided the Orioles' last run of the game with his fifth-inning blast. While he has just two multi-hit efforts in July, he's been consistent by batting .271 with only three hitless games this month. The infielder is up to 15 long balls, 41 RBI, 49 runs scored, five stolen bases and a .247/.343/.472 slash line on the year. He's batting .299 with a .948 OPS, 10 homers and 27 RBI since the start of June.

Danny Coulombe - Steps up to earn win Coulombe (3-1) allowed one hit and struck out three without walking a batter over 2.1 scoreless innings to earn the win Wednesday over the Dodgers.

Impact Coulombe was fresh, having not pitched since Sunday, and he was able to get seven outs on 25 pitches after a short start from Dean Kremer. This was Coulombe's longest appearance of the season and just the fourth time in 40 outings he's exceeded one inning. The southpaw has a 2.70 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 41:7 K:BB while adding a save, 14 holds and two blown saves over 33.1 innings this season. He'll likely continue to be a versatile part of the Orioles' bullpen, with the ability to take on high-leverage assignments as necessary.

Grayson Rodriguez - Draws another start Rodriguez is scheduled to make his next start Saturday versus the Rays at Tropicana Field.

Impact After a seven-week stay in the minors, Rodriguez was called up from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday and rejoined the Orioles rotation as a replacement for Cole Irvin, who was moved to the bullpen. Rodriguez fell short of a baseline quality start in his outing against the Dodgers, but after working five innings while striking out four and allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks, the Orioles were satisfied enough with his performance to give him another turn through the rotation. If Rodriguez avoids the home-run problems that befell him earlier this season, he could be headed for an extended stay in the big leagues, barring the Orioles adding another established starting pitcher ahead of the Aug. 1 trade deadline.

Félix Bautista - Records 26th save Bautista picked up the save Wednesday against the Dodgers, allowing one hit while striking out one over a scoreless inning.

Impact Bautista needed only 12 pitches to get through the top of the ninth and record his 26th save. The right-handed reliever has only allowed one baserunner over his last three appearances and lowered his season ERA to 1.00 with Wednesday's scoreless outing. He is yet to allow a run in July.

Dean Kremer - Allows five runs in no-decision Kremer did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing five runs on four hits and four walks over 4.2 innings against the Dodgers. He struck out one.

Impact Kremer got himself into trouble early, issuing a walk to Freddie Freeman in the top of the first before surrendering back-to-back hits with two outs, which would lead to two runs coming across for the Dodgers. He appeared to be settling in after that as the right-hander went 1-2-3 over the next two innings. However, he would be victimized by the long ball in both the fourth and fifth innings as Los Angeles tried to claw their way back. Kremer had allowed only one run in each of his last two starts coming in but has now give up at least five runs in two of his last four outings. He also issued a season-high four walks Wednesday to just one strikeout.

Josh Lester - Designated for assignment The Orioles designated Lester for assignment Wednesday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Impact After acquiring Shintaro Fujinami in a trade with Oakland on Wednesday, the Orioles were forced to push Lester off the 40-man roster to make room for Fujinami. Lester is slashing .273/.326/.504 with 15 homers and 62 RBI through 291 plate appearances in Triple-A this season and could certainly be claimed off waivers in the next few days.

Shintaro Fujinami - Dealt to Baltimore The Athletics traded Fujinami to the Orioles on Wednesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact Fujinami's statline remains significantly inflated from his disastrous run as a starter this season. However, he boasts a 2.77 ERA and 0.85 WHIP alongside a 13:0 K:BB across 13 innings since June 20. Fujinami will most likely serve in middle relief as part of the Orioles' bullpen.

Cesar Prieto - Hitting for average with Tides Prieto is hitting .324 with two home runs, one steal and eight strikeouts in 80 plate appearances since getting promoted to Triple-A Norfolk on June 20.

Impact Hitting for a very high average is nothing new to the 24-year-old Cuban infielder, as he hit .364 for Double-A Bowie this season and hit .340 for High-A Aberdeen in 2022. Prieto has a 21.7 percent hard-hit rate, and most of his six home runs on the season have been wall scrapers, but his 7.7 percent strikeout rate is elite enough for him to project for some sort of role in the big leagues.
