Jorge Mateo - Scratched late from lineup Mateo (hip) was scratched late from Saturday's lineup against the Tigers, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Impact Mateo was originally scheduled to return to the lineup for the first time since leaving Wednesday's game with right hip discomfort, but the late scratch suggests that Baltimore wants to give the shortstop at least one more day of rest before return. Gunnar Henderson will start at shortstop and hit eighth against the Tigers in his absence.

Gunnar Henderson - Late addition to lineup Henderson was added to the Orioles' lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers when Jorge Mateo (hip) was scratched.

Impact Henderson was set for a day off but will instead bat eighth and start at shortstop. He's disappointed in the early going this season, particularly in terms of his 34.3 percent strikeout rate, but he may be turning this around recently, striking out just three times in his last four games while recording four hits.

Gunnar Henderson - Not starting Saturday Henderson will get the day off Saturday against the Tigers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Henderson is walking at a 21.4 percent clip this season but isn't doing much else at the plate, hitting .185/.371/.296 with one home run. He'll sit for the fourth time in the first 20 games as a result, with Ramon Urias starting at the hot corner.

Jorge Mateo - Back in starting lineup Mateo (hip) will bat sixth and play shortstop Saturday against the Tigers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Mateo hadn't played since leaving Wednesday's game against Washington with right hip discomfort, though he was available off the bench Friday. He's gotten off to an excellent start, hitting .362 with three homers and eight steals through 16 games.

Jackson Holliday - Dominant at Single-A Holliday is slashing .404/.533/.681 with two home runs, three steals, 11 strikeouts and 13 walks in 60 plate appearances for Single-A Delmarva.

Impact The No. 1 overall pick in last year's draft couldn't be having a more impressive statistical start to the year, as his 45.2 percent hard-hit rate is also an elite figure, especially for a 19-year-old shortstop. Holliday is looking like a future superstar, and he could get a bump to High-A in the coming weeks.

Félix Bautista - Blows save, gets win Bautista (2-1) blew a save but earned the win in Friday's 2-1 win over the Tigers. He allowed a run on two hits and struck out one without walking a batter in one inning.

Impact With the run allowed, Bautista's seven-inning scoreless streak came to an end. He's now 5-for-7 in save chances this season after allowing the tying run in the top of the ninth inning, only for the Orioles to produce a walkoff win a half-inning later. The closer has a 1.86 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 17:3 K:BB through 9.2 innings this season.

Austin Hays - Hits fourth homer of season Hays went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-1 win over the Tigers.

Impact Hays opened the scoring in the seventh with a solo blast, his fourth home run of the season. He's currently slashing .324/.360/.966, but he's struck out 20 times across just 75 plate appearances.

APRIL 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tyler Wells - Tosses seven scoreless innings Wells did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing zero runs on three hits and one walk over seven innings during a 2-1 win over the Tigers. He struck out five.

Impact Wells didn't allow a baserunner to reach second as he cruised through seven shutout frames against the Tigers. He was in line for his first win of the year thanks to a solo shot from Austin Hays in the bottom of the seventh, but the Tigers were able to tie the game at 1-1 in the top of the ninth. Through four starts (23.1 innings), Wells sports a 2.70 ERA and a 0.69 WHIP with a strong 16:2 K:BB.
