BALTIMORE ORIOLES NEWS

Keegan Akin - Notches save in long relief Akin earned a save against the Mariners on Monday, pitching 3.1 scoreless innings during which he allowed one hit and two walks while striking out three.

Impact Akin entered the game in the sixth inning with Baltimore up by seven runs. His outing started off shakily, as he walked the first batter he saw before surrendering a double to Eugenio Suarez that allowed an inherited runner to score. Akin was much better after that, retiring 10 of the final 11 hitters he faced to notch his first career save. All 19 of Akin's outings this season have been at least two innings in length, and he has put together an impressive 2.35 ERA and 0.83 WHIP along with a 39:12 K:BB over 46 frames.

Tyler Wells - Allows only one hit in win Wells (6-4) earned the win over Seattle on Monday, allowing one run on one hit and no walks while striking out three batters.

Impact Wells had a perfect game going in the fifth inning before Cal Raleigh broke it up with a solo home run with two outs in that frame. The right-handed hurler got one more out, then called it a night after 63 pitches. That held true to the report that Wells would be on a limited pitch count for the contest after he tossed a season-high 94 pitches his last time out. In contrast to that previous appearance, Wells demonstrated excellent control Monday, throwing 41 of 63 pitches for strikes and avoiding issuing any walks for the first time in six starts. He's won each of his past five decisions, registering a 1.97 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 18:10 K:BB over 32 innings covering six starts during that span.

Ramón Urías - Nearing return Urias (oblique) took early batting practice and also fielded groundballs prior to Monday's game against the Mariners, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

Impact Urias has been out since June 10 but has ramped up his recovery significantly within the last week. Silver further reported that Urias is "closing in on a return," so he will presumably not require a rehab assignment. Prior to going down, Urias recorded a .225/.273/.387 line across 188 plate appearances while serving as Baltimore's primary third baseman.

Tyler Wells - May be on limited pitch count Wells will "be held back a bit" in Monday's start against Seattle, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wells threw a season-high 94 pitchers in his prior outing, which came Wednesday against the Nationals. He particularly struggled with his control as he walked four batters across only five innings. As a result, he may be on a pitch count Monday, though no specific plans were revealed. Wells has worked at least five innings in each of his last three starts, though he began the season by completing fewer than five frames in three of his seven appearances.

Richie Martin - Back to utility role Martin is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Impact Martin went 1-for-13 with an RBI and two stolen bases while starting in four of Baltimore's last five games, but he appears set to move back into a utility role as the Orioles begin a six-game week. Rougned Odor (back) is in the lineup Monday following a five-game absence and should play on an everyday basis at second base, at least against right-handed pitching.

JUNE 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jonathan Araúz - Starts at third base again Arauz will start at third base and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Mariners, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Impact Arauz will remain in the lineup for the third straight game and is getting his second turn in a row at the hot corner at the expense of Tyler Nevin, who is on the bench again after sitting in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the White Sox. Though the Orioles weren't able to complete the four-game series sweep, Arauz did his best to keep Baltimore competitive Sunday by going 2-for-4 with his first home run of the season and an additional RBI. Considering that Nevin is hitting just .135 in June, the Orioles could be prepared to give Arauz a look in a near-everyday role at third base until Ramon Urias (oblique) is cleared to return from the 10-day injured list.

Rougned Odor - Back in action Odor (back) will return to the lineup Monday against the Mariners, batting second and playing second base, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Odor had been out of the lineup since Tuesday while dealing with a sore back, though he did appear off the bench Sunday, striking out in his lone plate appearance. He's now past the injury, though that may not be a significant boost to the Orioles, as he's hitting just .198/.256/.386 on the year.

Tyler Nevin - Remains on bench Monday Nevin isn't starting Monday's game against the Mariners, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Nevin went just 1-for-16 with two runs, five walks and five strikeouts over his last six games and will be out of the lineup for a second consecutive matchup. Jonathan Arauz is starting at the hot corner and batting eighth.

Colton Cowser - Heads to Double-A The Orioles promoted Cowser from High-A Aberdeen to Double-A Bowie on Monday, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Cowser was one of three top Orioles prospects elevated Monday to Bowie, with infielders Coby Mayo and Connor Norby also joining him in making the jump from Aberdeen. The 22-year-old outfielder hit .258 with four home runs, 16 stolen bases and a 16.4 percent walk rate across 278 plate appearances at High-A.

Coby Mayo - Advances to Double-A The Orioles promoted Mayo from High-A Aberdeen to Double-A Bowie on Monday, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Mayo was one of three top Orioles prospects elevated Monday to Bowie, with outfielder Colton Cowser and infielder Connor Norby also joining him in making the jump from Aberdeen. The 20-year-old third baseman hit .250 with 13 home runs, five stolen bases and a 9.4 percent walk rate across 270 plate appearances at High-A.

Jonathan Araúz - Hits first homer with new team Aruaz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the White Sox.

Impact Arauz played in both of the Orioles' games this weekend, though he went hitless Saturday. He picked up his first hit of the season with a third-inning solo shot, then added an RBI single as the Orioles put together a rally in the ninth that fell one run short. Arauz is slashing only .111/.105/.278 with three RBI and two runs scored in 20 plate appearances between the Red Sox and the Orioles, and he'll likely be a utility infielder at best once Rougned Odor (back) returns to the starting nine.

Jordan Lyles - Tosses seven innings in loss Lyles (4-7) took the loss Sunday against the White Sox, allowing four runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four in seven innings.

Impact Lyles battled through seven innings, tossing 111 pitches and eating innings for the Orioles. All four runs against him came in the first four innings, including a two-run shot by Gavin Sheets to get the White Sox on the board in the second. He cruised through the final three innings, allowing just one baserunner. While his 4.98 ERA and 1.47 WHIP are not pretty, Lyles has consistently given Baltimore innings, lasting at least five frames in 13 of his 15 starts. His next start will likely be next weekend in Minnesota.
