BALTIMORE ORIOLES NEWS

Keegan Akin - Opening Wednesday's game Akin will serve as the Orioles' opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Impact Akin had made just one start for the Orioles since the beginning of the 2022 season, but he'll serve as the team's lead pitcher Wednesday after he made a pair of scoreless relief appearances upon returning from Triple-A Norfolk over the weekend. Since Akin hasn't covered more than three innings in any of his appearances in the majors or minors this season, he's unlikely to work more than once through the batting order before turning the game over to Austin Voth, who is slated to work in bulk relief.

Impact Hays will get a day off after he went 0-for-6 with an RBI, a walk and three strikeouts over the first two contests of the series. Ryan McKenna will draw the start in left field and bat ninth in the series finale with Cleveland.

Aaron Hicks - Not starting Tuesday Hicks isn't in Baltimore's lineup for Tuesday's game against Cleveland.

Impact Hicks will likely see plenty of time in center field as the Orioles prepare to move forward without Cedric Mullins (groin). However, his O's debut will have to wait, as Austin Hays gets the starting nod in center field and Terrin Vavra starts in left Tuesday.

Jorge Mateo - Option to play some center field Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Tuesday that Mateo is an option to play some center field while Cedric Mullins (groin) is out, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Mateo's defense at shortstop is his best asset right now as he struggles at the plate, so it seems doubtful he'd be used on a regular basis in center field. He does have past experience at the position, although he hasn't played there since 2021.

Aaron Hicks - Gets MLB deal from Orioles Hicks signed a one-year contract with the Orioles on Tuesday.

Impact Just a few days after being released by the Yankees, Hicks has latched on with another American League East outfit. He has batted only .188/.263/.261 this season, but on a prorated veteran minimum contract it's a no-risk move for Baltimore. Hicks could play a lot in center field while Cedric Mullins (groin) is sidelined.

Cedric Mullins - Lands on IL with strained groin Mullins was placed on the 10-day injured list by the Orioles on Tuesday with a right groin strain.

Impact Mullins suffered the injury during Monday's loss to the Guardians while running out a grounder. The severity of the strain hasn't been revealed, so it's difficult to know what kind of timetable we're dealing with at this point, but it's a big blow to the Orioles and to Mullins' fantasy managers. Aaron Hicks has been signed as a replacement and could see regular starts in center field while Mullins is out.
