Jorge Mateo - Logs steal off bench Mateo stole a base as a pinch runner in Sunday's 3-2 extra-innings loss to Atlanta.
Impact Mateo ran for Anthony Santander in the 10th inning and stole second, but he was left on base. Off days have been rare for Mateo this season, and it's for good reason -- he's slashing .304/.353/.565 through 29 contests. He's added 12 steals on 14 tries, six home runs, 19 RBI and 24 runs scored through 105 plate appearances.

Félix Bautista - Blows save in 10th inning Bautista allowed an unearned run on one walk and struck out one in one inning, taking a blown save in Sunday's 3-2 extra-innings loss to Atlanta.
Impact Bautista couldn't protect a one-run lead in the 10th inning, giving up a run on a wild pitch. He's allowed a run in consecutive appearances for the first time since his first two outings of the year. Sunday's mishap won't show up in his ERA, which stands at 1.72 despite a 1.28 WHIP and 29:10 K:BB through 15.2 innings this season. He's now 7-for-10 in save chances.

Cionel Pérez - Takes loss Sunday Perez (1-1) allowed an unearned run on a hit and a walk while recording one strikeout in one-third of an inning to take the extra-innings loss versus Atlanta on Sunday.
Impact Perez intentionally walked Marcell Ozuna with one out in the 12th inning, but Michael Harris knocked a walkoff double to win the game. It's been tough for Perez to find consistency this season -- he's yet to go more than three appearances without surrendering a run. He remains in a setup role for the Orioles, but he has a 4.61 ERA, 2.27 WHIP and 12:9 K:BB through 13.2 innings. He's added six holds, and he could be in danger of losing his current role once Mychal Givens (knee) and Dillon Tate (forearm) are ready to return.

Tyler Wells - Solid in no decision Wells did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing a run on three hits and a walk over five innings against Atlanta. He struck out four.
Impact Wells pitched well against a powerful Atlanta lineup, allowing just a first-inning home run to Matt Olson in an eventual 3-2 extra-innings loss. It was an encouraging performance for Wells after he allowed four runs on three homers in his last outing against the Royals. The 28-year-old right-hander is 2-1 with a 3.15 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 31:7 K:BB through his first 40 innings this season.

Danny Coulombe - Takes loss Saturday Coulombe (1-1) allowed a run on two hits in two-thirds of an inning Saturday versus Atlanta, taking the loss and a blown save. He didn't walk or strike out a batter.
Impact After emerging as a solid middle-relief option in April, Coulombe has blown two leads in two appearances to begin May. Bryan Baker left a runner on base with one out in the eighth inning, and Coulombe served up a two-run home run to pinch hitter Kevin Pillar. For the season, Coulombe is at a 3.00 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB across 12 innings, and he's picked up five holds. Despite the recent slump, he should still be part of the bridge to closer Felix Bautista when the Orioles are holding leads late.

Adley Rutschman - Sits amid slump Rutschman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
Impact Rutschman had started each of the previous seven games at either catcher or designated hitter, but he'll get a breather for the series finale while James McCann and Anthony Santander draw the starts at those respective lineup spots. The move to the bench comes after Rutschman went 0-for-11 over his last three starts, dropping his season average to .285. Rutschman still walked four times and struck out just twice during that span, so he still appears to be seeing the ball well at the plate.

Jorge Mateo - Receives rest day Mateo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
Impact According to Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com, manager Brandon Hyde suggested after Saturday's 5-4 loss to Atlanta that Mateo was in line to get the series finale off for maintenance purposes. With Mateo on the bench Sunday, Gunnar Henderson will shift from third base to shortstop.

Austin Hays - Returns to lineup Sunday Hays (finger) will start in left field and bat fifth in Sunday's game at Atlanta.
Impact Hays didn't start any of the Orioles' past four games while battling a bruised middle finger, but his ability to appear as a pinch runner in Friday's 9-4 win was a firm indication that he wasn't expected to require a trip to the injured list. He'll now take back his usual spot in left field, resulting in Kyle Stowers shifting over to right field while Anthony Santander serves as Baltimore's designated hitter.

Adam Frazier - Knocks in three runs Frazier went 1-for-4 with three RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's loss to Atlanta.
Impact Frazier had only one hit, but he still managed to be productive. The infielder knocked in two runs with a fourth-inning single and plated another with a fielder's choice groundout in the sixth. Frazier also managed his sixth theft of the campaign, though he was also caught stealing once. He established a career high with 11 thefts last season and is already more than halfway to that mark through 32 games in 2023.

Kyle Bradish - Yields three runs in no-decision Bradish did not factor in the decision against Atlanta on Saturday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four batters over five innings.
Impact Bradish racked up 15 whiffs in the contest, though they led to only four strikeouts. The right-hander's final line wasn't exceptional, but he did manage to complete five frames for just the second time through five starts this season. Bradish holds a shaky 5.95 ERA and 1.73 WHIP on the campaign to along with an 18:9 K:BB over 19.2 innings.
