91-71 · 2ND IN AL EAST
Jorge Mateo - Swipes two more bags Mateo went 1-for-3 with one RBI and two steals in Friday's victory over the Royals.
Impact Mateo stole second and third base in the second inning of the contest to give him 18 steals on the season, good for fourth in the American League. After a torrid start to the season batting .333 in the month of April, Mateo has cooled down considerably. The 27-year-old hit an atrocious .128 in May with just two extra-base hits, and over his last 30 games has an underwhelming .151/.175/.183 slash line.

Gunnar Henderson - Busy day at the plate Henderson went 3-for-3 with one run scored and two steals in Friday's 3-2 win over the Royals.
Impact Henderson recorded his first multi-steal game of the year Friday, swiping second base twice while also being caught stealing in the sixth inning. The 21-year-old has been in-and-out of the lineup for the past week while dealing with a back injury, and while his season stats leave much to be desired, over his last seven games he has picked up the pace with a .364/.417/.682 line.

Austin Hays - Goes yard Friday Hays went 2-for-4 with one double, one homer, one RBI and two runs scored in Friday's win over the Royals.
Impact Hays' 357-foot shot came on the first pitch of the game, while he added a double in the fifth inning. The 27-year-old is having a career year at the dish, hitting safely in six of his last seven games, and over his last 30 games has hit a pristine .318 with three home runs and 15 RBI. His .306 batting average is good for fourth-best in the American League,

Félix Bautista - Notches 17th save Bautista picked up the save in Friday's 3-2 victory over the Royals. He allowed zero hits and zero walks while striking out two over a scoreless inning.
Impact Bautista has now gone six straight games without allowing a run, and has not allowed more than one earned run in any of his 30 appearances thus far. The 27-year-old flamethrower is now tied for second in MLB with 17 saves, while allowing opponents to bat a paltry .162 against him. Bautista and stablemate Yennier Cano have formed one of the most dynamic late inning tandems in all of baseball for the Orioles.
JUNE 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Tyler Wells - Records win Friday Wells (5-2) earned the win Friday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk over 6.2 innings against Kansas City. He struck out four.
Impact Wells won his second straight decision and was able to work through a weak Kansas City lineup with relative ease, allowing just one extra-base hit before being pulled with the bases loaded in the seventh inning. The 28-year-old has allowed two earned runs or less in five of his last seven starts, and sports a pristine 3.24 ERA on the year. He has quickly become major asset in a Baltimore rotation desperate for quality innings. Wells is scheduled to face the Blue Jays at home next week.

Cole Irvin - Promotion imminent Irvin will be recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday to start against the Royals, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact Irvin has made four appearances (three starts) this season with Baltimore with limited success. He holds a 10.38 ERA and 2.00 WHIP in the majors through 13 innings, but his Triple-A numbers (3.21 ERA and 1.05 WHIP) are much more reassuring. Irvin will have the benefit of facing a Royals lineup that ranks 27th in team OPS this year, but his shaky history makes him a risky fantasy play.
