Ryan Mountcastle - Doubles twice Thursday Mountcastle went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles and a run scored in Thursday's 4-0 win over the White Sox.
Impact Mouncastle has hit safely in 14 of his last 16 games, going 23-for-66 (.348) with seven multi-hit efforts in that span. Even amid a strong season, this is an impressive extended surge of hitting for the 25-year-old. He's up to a .281/.316/.494 slash line with 12 home runs, 37 RBI, 31 runs scored, two stolen bases and 14 doubles in 59 contests overall. He should continue to be productive as he hits anywhere from second to fifth in the order in a near-everyday role.

Adley Rutschman - Powers offense in win Rutschman went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an RBI double in Thursday's 4-0 win over the White Sox.
Impact Rutschman opened the scoring with his fourth-inning blast, and he added the RBI double as insurance in the sixth. The top prospect is starting to put bat to ball effectively, as he's notched two homers and five doubles in his last seven contests while going 9-for-25 (.360) in that span. The surge has lifted his season slash line to .222/.287/.394 with a pair of homers, seven RBI, 12 runs scored, nine doubles and a triple through 108 plate appearances.

Jorge López - Collects 12th save Lopez struck out both batters he faced to earn the save in Thursday's 4-0 win over the White Sox.
Impact With a four-run lead entering the bottom of the ninth inning, manager Brandon Hyde left Dillon Tate in the game initially. Tate put two on with one out, and Lopez was summoned to escape the jam, doing so with strikeouts of Tim Anderson and Andrew Vaughn. This extended Lopez's scoreless streak to 9.1 innings in his last eight appearances, and he's given up just one unearned run in June. The closer is 12-for-14 in save chances this year with a 0.77 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 36:13 K:BB through 35 innings overall.

Dean Kremer - Extends scoreless streak Kremer (2-1) allowed seven hits, a walk and a hit batter while striking out four in 5.2 shutout innings to earn the win Thursday over the White Sox.
Impact For the second start in a row, Kremer kept runs off the board, and he was rewarded with his second win of the year. The seven hits he allowed marked a season high, but he wasn't punished for them. The right-hander now has a 1.71 ERA across 21 innings, though his 1.24 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB suggest he hasn't been quite as dominant as the surface stats make it look. Nonetheless, Kremer's putting in work to earn himself some job security in the Orioles' rotation. He's on track for a road start next week in Seattle.

Rougned Odor - Dealing with back soreness Odor isn't starting Thursday against the White Sox due to back soreness, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact Odor is out of the lineup for a second consecutive game Thursday, and he apparently sustained his back injury on a swing while serving as a pinch hitter Wednesday against the Nationals. However, it's possible that he'll be available off the bench Thursday, so he should tentatively be considered day-to-day.

Rougned Odor - Remains on bench Odor isn't starting Thursday's game against the White Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact Odor will be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game after he went 0-for-12 with three strikeouts over the last five matchups. Richie Martin is starting at the keystone and batting ninth.

Orioles take on the White Sox after Hays hit for the cycle
The Baltimore Orioles play the Chicago White Sox after Austin Hays hit for the cycle against the Nationals on WednesdayJUNE 23, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Anthony Santander - Knocks 13th homer Santander went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-0 rain-shortened win over the Nationals.
Impact Santander has five multi-hit efforts in his last seven games, though he's gone hitless in the other two contests in that span. Four of those 10 hits have left the yard, giving him 13 homers on the year. The outfielder is up to a .246/.342/.440 slash line with 36 RBI, 31 runs scored and six doubles through 269 plate appearances. He should continue to play regularly in the corner outfield spots while also batting in the heart of the order.

Trey Mancini - Clubs seventh homer Mancini went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-0 rain-shortened win over the Nationals.
Impact Mancini provided the last runs of the game, a two-run blast in the sixth and ultimately final inning. This was his first multi-hit effort since June 3 and his first homer since June 7. The 30-year-old has battled a hand injury recently which has caused his slash line for the year to dip to .286/.365/.427. He's added seven homers, 27 RBI, 27 runs scored and 10 doubles through 62 contests overall.

Nick Vespi - Lucks into save Vespi walked one in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Wednesday's rain-shortened 7-0 win over the Nationals.
Impact The teams played six complete innings, with Vespi protecting a three-run lead in the top of the sixth before the Orioles put together a four-run rally in their half of the frame. The game was later called due to rain, making this a bizarre first career save for Vespi. While it's yet to come to fruition, the 26-year-old southpaw has certainly earned a look in more significant spots with a 0.87 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 8:3 K:BB across 10.1 innings in eight appearances. He'll likely see most mid-leverage work at most, as the Orioles' bullpen has been a strength for the team this season.

Austin Hays - Hits for cycle Hays went 4-for-4 to hit for the cycle while driving in three and scoring three runs Wednesday against the Nationals.
Impact Hays' performance was even more impressive given that the game ended after six innings due to rain. He has 10 homers on the season, five of which have come across 19 starts in June, during which he's also driven in 18 and scored 14 runs. Hays is quietly having an excellent campaign, maintaining a .287 average with 37 runs scored and 40 RBI across 271 plate appearances.

Tyler Wells - Overcomes shaky control Wells (5-4) allowed three hits and four walks while striking out four across five scoreless innings to earn the win Wednesday against the Nationals.
Impact Wells walked two to load the bases in the third inning but he struck out Luis Garcia to escape the jam. Wells was solid otherwise, though he needed 95 pitches to record 15 outs. After struggling to work deep into games to begin the campaign, Wells has worked at least five frames in five of his last six starts. He has a 3.34 ERA on the season, though that's paired with a modest 40:16 K:BB across 64.2 innings.

Matt Harvey - Starting rehab stint Harvey (suspension) will report to High-A Aberdeen on Thursday to begin a rehab assignment, Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Impact Harvey signed a minor-league deal with Baltimore in early April, but he was handed a 60-game suspension, which began April 29, for participating in the distribution of a prohibited Drug of Abuse. The veteran right-hander has yet to fully serve the suspension, though he can pitch in the lower minors to get built up before being activated by Triple-A Norfolk. Harvey made 28 starts for the Orioles last season and had a 6.27 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 95:37 K:BB over 127.2 innings.
