Danny Coulombe - Earns first save Coulombe picked up the save in Sunday's 5-4 victory over the Marlins. He allowed a run on two hits over two-thirds of an inning.
Impact Colombe came on in relief of Eduard Bazardo in the ninth, allowing one inherited runner to score before allowing an RBI double to Dane Myers, cutting Baltimore's lead to 5-4 with two outs. However, Colombe coaxed a lineout from Luis Arraez to strand the tying run on second and pick up the first save of his MLB career. The 33-year-old lefty has been solid for the Orioles this season, pitching to a 2.90 ERA with a 1.10 WHIP over 31 innings. However, he's unlikely to see much more ninth-inning work with Felix Bautista firmly locked in as the closer.

Kyle Bradish - Blanks Miami in win Bradish (6-4) earned the win Sunday, allowing three hits and a walk over 7.1 scoreless innings against the Marlins. He struck out eight.
Impact Bradish picked up where he left off before the All-Star break. He's now delivered consecutive scoreless outings while pitching to a 1.41 ERA over his last six starts (38.1 innings). The 26-year-old Bradish lowered his ERA to 3.05 on the season with a 1.13 WHIP and 87:24 K:BB. Bradish will look to keep rolling in his next outing, currently lined up for next week in Tampa Bay.

Cole Irvin - Moving to bullpen Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Irvin will move to the bullpen with Grayson Rodriguez set to rejoin the rotation Monday, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Impact Irvin pitched to a 2.92 ERA and 1.22 WHIP over six outings between June 10 and July 7, working as a starter in five of those appearances. Despite the strong results, the Orioles want to give their top pitching prospect another chance to prove himself, so Irvin is now expected to serve as a multi-inning relief option. The southpaw could still rejoin the rotation later if injuries or poor performance arise.

Anthony Santander - Nabs steal in win Saturday Santander went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Marlins.
Impact Santander pulled the Orioles within a run in the fifth inning and added a go-ahead RBI single in the seventh. He got the nod at first base Saturday, a position he's seen time at more frequently of late, even with Ryan Mountcastle back from the injured list and Ryan O'Hearn swinging a hot bat. Santander also primarily splits time between right field and designated hitter, and his .275/.342/.496 slash line for the year has made it tough to take him out of the lineup. He's added 16 home runs, three steals, 52 RBI and 46 runs scored across 87 contests.

Gunnar Henderson - Goes yard Saturday Henderson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Marlins.
Impact Henderson provided a game-tying blast in the seventh inning. He's hitting .267 with three homers and eight RBI over 11 games in July. The infielder is at a .245/.343/.460 slash line with 14 long balls, 38 RBI, 44 runs scored and five stolen bases through 81 contests. He's done enough to serve in an everyday role lately, which has included leadoff duties against right-handed pitchers.

Mike Baumann - Grabs win No. 6 Baumann (6-0) allowed a hit and a walk while striking out one over 1.2 scoreless innings to earn the win Saturday over the Marlins.
Impact Baumann induced a double play in the sixth inning to get out of a two-on, one-out situation, then worked around a two-out triple in the seventh before the Orioles took the lead. Since the start of June, Baumann has a 3.29 ERA despite a 13:13 K:BB, and he's added four holds and two wins over 13.2 innings in that span. His 3.92 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 46:26 K:BB for the season don't inspire a ton of confidence in his long-term success, but he's been effective enough in a lower-leverage role this season.

Aaron Hicks - Battling back soreness Hicks was taken out of Sunday's lineup Sunday due to lower back soreness, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Impact Manager Brandon Hyde said Hicks was scratched from the lineup as a precaution, so it doesn't seem like Hicks' injury is too severe. He should be considered day-to-day going forward.

Grayson Rodriguez - Starting Monday for Baltimore The Orioles will recall Rodriguez from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday to start against the Dodgers, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact Rodriguez was sent down to the minors in late May after accumulating a 7.35 ERA and 1.74 WHIP through 45.1 innings across 10 starts to begin his MLB career. Since then, he's put up a 1.69 ERA and 0.99 WHIP through 37.1 frames in Triple-A -- good enough to reclaim a spot in Baltimore's rotation. A corresponding move has yet to be announced.

Austin Hays - Installed into lineup Hays is starting in left field and batting fourth Sunday against Miami.
Impact Aaron Hicks was scratched from Sunday's lineup, so Hays will enter in left while Colton Cowser slides over to center field. The 28-year-old outfielder is currently enjoying a four-game hitting streak and is 5-for-17 with a homer, two RBI and five runs scored in that span.

Aaron Hicks - Scratched from lineup Hicks was scratched from the Orioles' lineup ahead of Sunday's game against Miami.
Impact It's unclear why Hicks was taken out of the lineup, but the Orioles will likely provide an update relatively soon. In the meantime, Colton Cowser will slide to center field to cover for Hicks while Austin Hays enters in left field and bats fourth.

Félix Bautista - Picks up 25th save Bautista struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Saturday to record his 25th save of the season during Saturday's 6-5 win over the Marlins.
Impact The right-hander failed to fan multiple batters for the first time since June 18, but he remained dominant as he topped out at 101.6 mph with his fastball and needed only 10 pitches (eight strikes) to breeze through the heart of Miami's order. Bautista has been scored upon only once in his last 18 appearances, and the 28-year-old closer has a minuscule 1.02 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 87:19 K:BB through 44 innings on the season.
JULY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Gibson - Avoids loss against Miami Gibson didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Marlins, coughing up five runs on nine hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out one.
Impact It was a shaky outing for the veteran right-hander, who tossed 52 of 84 pitches for strikes, but Gibson was taken off the hook for his seventh loss of the year when the O's staged a comeback in the seventh inning. Gibson has been tagged for at least four runs in four of his last five starts, posting a 7.62 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 25:11 K:BB through 26 innings over that stretch, and those struggles seem to have following him into the second half.
JULY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Cedric Mullins - Remains out Sunday Mullins (quadriceps) isn't in the Orioles' lineup Sunday against the Marlins.
Impact Mullins had to exit Saturday's contest after experiencing tightness in his right quad, and the injury will continue to keep him out through Sunday. Aaron Hicks will start in center field in Mullins' place and bat fifth.
JULY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Austin Hays - Takes seat Sunday Hays isn't in the Orioles' lineup Sunday against the Marlins.
Impact Hays extended his hitting streak to four games during his 1-for-5 performance Saturday and will receive a day off for the series finale. Colton Cowser, Aaron Hicks and Anthony Santander will make up Baltimore's outfield from left to right Sunday.
JULY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Westburg - Out of lineup Sunday Westburg isn't starting Sunday against the Marlins.
Impact Westburg is 0-for-8 with four strikeouts since returning from the All-Star break, so he'll get a breather Sunday to regroup. Ramon Urias will start at third base and bat sixth while Westburg sits, and Adam Frazier will man second.
