Aaron Hicks - Could serve as Mullins replacement Hicks will start in center field and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.
Impact Hicks will be getting his third consecutive start in center in place of Cedric Mullins (adductor), who was officially moved to the 10-day injured list. Though recently promoted prospect Colton Cowser is capable of manning center, he's hitting just .111 through his first 27 big-league at-bats and may have to settle for part-time duties until his production warrants more playing time. With that in mind, Hicks could end up being the primary replacement for Mullins, given how well he's produced at the plate since signing with Baltimore in late May. Over his first 38 games with Baltimore, Hicks is slashing .263/.366/.474 with six home runs and three stolen bases.

Colton Cowser - On bench versus lefty Cowser is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact Cowser had started each of the last three games at a different outfield spot and went 0-for-8 with three walks and two runs, bringing his batting average down to .111 since he was called up from Triple-A Norfolk on July 5. The lefty-hitting Cowser will retreat to the bench Wednesday while the Dodgers bring southpaw Julio Urias to the hill, and until he begins to heat up at the plate, Cowser could find himself in more of a part-time role in the Baltimore outfield. Cowser did at least see his playing-time outlook improve Wednesday with Cedric Mullins (groin) landing on the injured list, though Aaron Hicks may be first in line to replace Mullins in the everyday lineup.

Adam Frazier - On bench versus lefty Frazier is not in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.
Impact Frazier will head to the bench as the Orioles face off with left-hander Julio Urias on Wednesday. Jordan Westburg will slide over to second base while Ramon Urias enters the lineup at third base and bats seventh in the series finale with Los Angeles.
JULY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Adley Rutschman - Day off Wednesday Rutschman is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus Los Angeles, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.
Impact Rutschman will take a seat after he went 2-for-8 with a solo homer, a double, a walk and two strikeouts over the first two contests of the series. James McCann will draw the start behind the plate and bat eighth in the series finale with the Dodgers.
JULY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Logan Gillaspie - Summoned from Triple-A The Orioles recalled Gillaspie from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.
Impact Gillaspie will be up with the Orioles as a bullpen arm for the fourth time this season. Over his previous three stints with the big club, Gillaspie made 11 appearances and allowed six earned runs on 14 hits and five walks while striking out eight in nine innings.
JULY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ryan O'Hearn - Sitting versus lefty O'Hearn will sit Wednesday against the Dodgers, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.
Impact O'Hearn will get a breather after he went 2-for-6 with an RBI and a run scored over the first two games of the series. With left-hander Julio Urias on the mound, Ryan Mountcastle will slot in at first base while Jorge Mateo enters the lineup at shortstop after some shuffling and bats ninth in the series finale with Los Angeles.

Cedric Mullins - Shelved with adductor strain The Orioles placed Mullins on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right adductor groin strain.
Impact Baltimore had previously labeled the injury that kept Mullins out of the lineup for the previous three games as a right quadricep tightness, but follow-up tests evidently revealed a slightly different diagnosis for the outfielder. Whatever the case, Mullins won't be eligible for activation until July 26, and it's possible that he misses more than the minimum amount of time if he isn't ready to resume baseball activities by this weekend. While Mullins is sidelined, Aaron Hicks will likely serve as his primary replacement in center field.

Tyler Wells - Early exit against LA Wells (7-5) took the loss Tuesday, allowing five runs on six hits and two walks over two innings against the Dodgers. He struck out two.
Impact It was the shortest outing of the year for Wells in his first start out of the All-Star break, as the Dodgers put up a five spot in the second inning. The loss ended a solid run for Wells, who'd logged quality starts in five of his previous six outings, posting a 2.97 ERA over that span. Overall, the 28-year-old right-hander sports a 3.54 ERA with a 0.98 WHIP and 105:26 K:BB across 18 starts (106.2 innings) this season. Wells is currently lined up for another tough matchup this weekend against the Rays in Tampa.

John Means - Throws bullpen session Means (elbow/back) threw another bullpen session Tuesday, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Impact Means hit a bump in the road in his recovery from Tommy John surgery when he suffered a muscle strain in his upper back in late May. However, he began throwing off flat ground last month and resumed mound work last week. The southpaw hopes to become an option for the Orioles sometime in August, but there remains no clear timetable for his activation.

Impact Mountcastle has now started just two of six games since returning from the injured list. Both of those starts were at designated hitter, as Ryan O'Hearn has remained the Orioles' regular first baseman even with Mountcastle back in action.

Cedric Mullins - Held out again Tuesday Mullins (quad) remains out of the lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Impact It's the third straight start Mullins has missed after he tweaked his right quad during Saturday's game versus the Marlins. The Orioles have given no indication to this point that it could be more than a day-to-day situation. Aaron Hicks is again in center field for Baltimore on Tuesday.
