Cedric Mullins - Resting Saturday Mullins will get the day off Saturday against Boston, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Rougned Odor - Not in Saturday's lineup Odor will sit Saturday against the Red Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact Odor will hit the bench despite the fact that the Red Sox are set to start righty Michael Wacha. It's the first time this season that he'll be on the bench against a right-hander while healthy, unless he's dealing with an unreported injury. Ramos Urias will start at second base.

Austin Hays - Snaps slump Friday Hays went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles, one walk, one RBI and one run scored in Friday's 15-10 win over the Red Sox.
Impact Hays entered Friday just 1-for-20 over his last six contests. He broke out of the slump early and kept the line moving well throughout the high-scoring contest. The outfielder is slashing .257/.314/.428 with 13 home runs, 50 RBI, 54 runs scored, two stolen bases, 28 doubles and a triple through 107 games this year. Hays has often hit sixth in August, as his recent slump and the success of other hitters has caused a long-lasting adjustment to manager Brandon Hyde's preferred batting order.

Ramón Urías - Smacks homer in slugfest Urias went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a hit-by-pitch in Friday's 15-10 win over the Red Sox.
Impact Urias delivered his first homer in 10 games when he led off the bottom of the fifth inning with a solo shot. He's hit safely in eight games during that span, though he's produced just two multi-hit efforts while going 10-for-37 (.270). The third baseman is up to a .248/.290/.423 slash line with 13 homers, 44 RBI, 40 runs scored, one stolen base and 15 doubles through 88 contests this year.
AUGUST 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ryan Mountcastle - Goes yard in chaotic win Mountcastle went 2-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and an additional run scored in Friday's 15-10 win over the Red Sox.
Impact Mountcastle supplied his biggest hit in a five-run fourth inning for the Orioles. He also had an RBI single and a run as Baltimore tacked on five more runs in the fifth. Through 16 contests in August, Mountcastle has gone 14-for-63 (.222), though he's contributed three homers, 12 RBI and seven runs. The 25-year-old is slashing .250/.298/.434 with 17 long balls, 61 RBI, 49 runs scored and four stolen bases in 104 games overall.
AUGUST 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jorge Mateo - Knocks three-run homer Mateo went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Friday's 15-10 win over the Red Sox.
Impact Mateo provided the Orioles' first runs of the game with his second-inning blast off Kutter Crawford. He had a hot start to August, but Mateo's now gone seven games without a multi-hit effort as it appears he's cooled off again. For the season, he's slashing .228/.278/.402 with 12 homers, 39 RBI, 50 runs scored and 27 stolen bases through 111 contests.
AUGUST 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Nick Vespi - Awarded win Friday Vespi (5-0) allowed a run on three hits in one inning but collected the win Friday over the Red Sox. He did not walk or strike out a batter.
Impact Vespi was promoted to the majors earlier Friday and immediately got into a game. He was awarded the win after Keegan Akin allowed five unearned runs during a sloppy fifth inning. Vespi has been an effective middle reliever this year with a 4.22 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 24:8 K:BB across 21.1 innings while adding one save, one hold and a blown save. With the strength of the Orioles' bullpen, there's little chance Vespi moves into a high-leverage role during this stint on the big-league roster.
AUGUST 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Adley Rutschman - Scores three runs Rutschman went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, two RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 15-10 win over the Red Sox.
Impact Rutshman belted a two-run shot in the fourth inning, his eighth homer of the year and third in the last seven games. The star rookie bumped his slash line up to .255/.364/.457 with 47 runs scored and 33 extra-base hits through 71 career games. He's gone 17-for-56 (.304) with 16 walks and 11 strikeouts this month.
AUGUST 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Santander - Drives in four runs Santander went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, four RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 15-10 win over Boston.
Impact Santander snapped his nine-game homerless drought with a two-run shot in the third inning. He later added a two-run double during Baltimore's five-run fifth. The 27-year-old had just two hits over his previous six games but he's now hitting .269 with 10 RBI and eight extra-base hits this month. Santander is slashing .259/.338/.456 with a career-high 21 home runs and 66 RBI on the year.

Jordan Lyles - Tagged with four runs Lyles yielded four runs on nine hits over four innings during Friday's win over Boston. He struck out five and did not factor in the decision.
Impact For the second straight outing, Lyles was charged with four runs and failed to complete at least five innings. He coughed up a two-run double to Enrique Hernandez in the second inning followed by two more runs in the third. Lyles' ERA climbed to 4.61 alongside a 119:45 K:BB through 25 starts. Since the start of July, the 31-year-old is 5-2 with a 4.08 ERA. Lyles is lined up to face the White Sox at home next week.

Kyle Stowers - Hitting fifth Friday Stowers is starting in right field and batting fifth Friday against the Red Sox.
Impact He played in two games in mid-June when the big club went to Toronto, but Stowers should be up for good after getting the call Friday. The Orioles farm system is loaded, but the 24-year-old was the team's top outfielder at Triple-A, slashing .264/.357/.527 with 19 home runs, a 25.6 percent strikeout rate and an 11.1 percent walk rate in 95 games. He should play pretty regularly as the Orioles look to see how his hit tool translates at the highest level.
