Ramón Urías - Adds steal Tuesday Urias went 0-for-3 with a hit-by-pitch, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Rangers.
Impact Urias was plunked by Spencer Howard in the third inning. The 28-year-old infielder followed that up by stealing second and scoring on Jorge Mateo's three-run home run. After a July surge at the plate, it appears Urias is returning to Earth -- he's gone 1-for-23 with three walks over his last seven games. He has a .248/.298/.429 slash line with 11 home runs, 36 RBI, 34 runs scored and a steal in 73 contests.

Cedric Mullins - Logs steal in win Mullins went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Rangers.
Impact Mullins continues to have the liberty to run -- he's swiped seven bases in his last 17 games and is now 23-for-29 on the basepaths this season. The outfielder has opened August with a pair of multi-hit efforts. He's up to a .261/.321/.390 slash line with nine home runs, 45 RBI and 58 runs scored through 102 contests, and he should continue to regularly hit leadoff.

Jorge Mateo - Pops pair of homers Mateo went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Rangers.
Impact Mateo opened and closed the Orioles' scoring Tuesday. He hit a three-run blast in the third inning and added insurance with a two-run homer in the ninth. This was his first game with multiple homers in his major-league career. The shortstop is up to 10 long balls, 32 RBI, 40 runs scored, 25 stolen bases and a .218/.264/.392 slash line through 96 contests. While his season batting average isn't impressive, Mateo has hit .313 (21-for-67) in his last 20 games.

Jordan Lyles - Keeps Rangers in check Lyles (8-8) allowed a run on seven hits and a walk with seven strikeouts in 6.1 innings to earn the win over the Rangers on Tuesday.
Impact Lyles came back to haunt his former team, delivering his first quality start in his last four outings. The only run against him came on a Marcus Semien RBI single in the fifth inning. Lyles evened his record for the first time since May 1, and he's now sporting a 4.40 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 104:41 K:BB through 124.2 innings in 22 starts this year. The right-hander is projected for a home start versus the Blue Jays next week.

Dillon Tate - Could see saves Manager Brandon Hyde named Tate, Felix Bautista and Cionel Perez as the likely candidates to see save opportunities after the Orioles traded Jorge Lopez to the Twins on Tuesday, Na...
Impact Tate has two saves and 12 holds as a setup man for Baltimore this year, and he also has a 2.22 ERA and 1.01 WHIP across 48.2 innings. It's unclear exactly how Hyde's matchups-based approach will shake out, though it limits the value of all three pitchers for fantasy managers, at least until one player separates from the pack.

Cionel Pérez - In mix to close Manager Brandon Hyde name Perez, Felix Bautista and Dillon Tate as the candidates to serve as Baltimore's closer after Jorge Lopez was traded to Minnesota, Nathan Ruiz of The Balti...
Impact The trio has operated as setup men for the Orioles this year, and the group will now be in a closing committee with Hyde utilizing a matchup-based approach. Perez has one save and 15 holds with a 1.25 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 34:15 K:BB across 36 innings this season. Bautista seems like the best option to head the committee, but it remains to be seen exactly how the group's usage breaks down with Lopez out of the picture.

Félix Bautista - In closing committee Manager Brandon Hyde said Bautista, Cionel Perez and Dillon Tate the candidates to closer for Baltimore after Jorge Lopez was traded to the Twins on Tuesday, Nathan Ruiz of The Bal...
Impact Bautista was the presumptive closer for the Orioles in the immediate aftermath of the trade, but Hyde will instead employ a matchup-based approach for the ninth inning. The right-hander has three saves and 13 holds to go with a 1.66 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 34.4 percent strikeout rate in his first taste of big-league action this year, so he's the logical candidate to head Baltimore's committee, though that doesn't necessarily mean he'll receive the bulk of the save chances.

Terrin Vavra - Beneficiary of Mancini trade Vavra will serve as the Orioles' designated hitter and No. 8 batter in Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.
Impact He'll be picking up his third start in four games and his second in a row since the Orioles dealt Trey Mancini to the Astros on Monday. With Mancini out of the picture, the lefty-hitting Vavra looks like he might get a trial as a regular in the lineup versus right-handed pitching. The 25-year-old doesn't bring much power or speed to the table, but he walked at a 13.9 percent clip and struck out only 17.3 percent of the time at Triple-A Norfolk this season while hitting .324.

Félix Bautista - Presumptive closer in Baltimore Bautista is the presumptive closer for Baltimore after Jorge Lopez was traded to the Twins on Tuesday, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.
Impact A 27-year-old rookie, Bautista has emerged as one of manager Brandon Hyde's top arms, posting a 1.66 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 56:14 K:BB through 43.1 innings this season. Bautista is tied for second on the team in holds and has recorded only one save since mid-May, but the overwhelming dominance Bautista has shown with his 98-plus-mph heater makes him the most likely candidate to step into the ninth-inning role. Bautista told Silver through an interpreter that closing big-league games would be "a dream come true, something I've always dreamt of."

Brett Phillips - Shipped to Baltimore Phillips sent from the Rays to the Orioles in exchange for cash considerations Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact Phillips was designated for assignment Monday after striking out 40.9 percent of the time while slashing .147/.225/.250 in 75 games. The 28-year-old has flashed power and speed alongside good outfield defense in the past, but his career 37.5 percent strikeout rate means he fits best in a bench role.

Tyler Nevin - Remains on bench Nevin will remain on the bench for Tuesday's game against Texas, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Impact Nevin appeared poised for regular at-bats after the Orioles traded away Trey Mancini on Monday, especially as he'd already been in the lineup in three of the final four games of last week. Instead, he's now been stuck on the bench for two straight games, with Ramon Urias again handling third base while Ryan Mountcastle starts at first.

Impact Mullins had gone just 4-for-24 in his previous eight games before putting together an excellent performance Monday. The outfielder is up to nine homers, 45 RBI, 57 runs scored and 22 stolen bases while slashing .259/.320/.389 through 441 plate appearances.
