Eovaldi gets 1st career complete game; Red Sox-O's split DH
Rougned Odor hit a three-run homer and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Boston Red Sox 4-2 to earn a split of a day-night doubleheaderMAY 28, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Spenser Watkins - Plays catch Saturday Watkins (forearm) played catch from 70 feet Saturday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact Although Watkins' throwing session Saturday didn't require much intensity, he said afterward that he didn't experience any pain and was only dealing with light stiffness. The right-hander is progressing in his recovery from a bruised right forearm, but it's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to game action.

Ramón Urías - On base four times Urias went 3-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Friday's 12-8 win over the Red Sox.
Impact All three of his hits were singles. Urias has a pair of three-hit efforts in his last four games, as he continues to log regular playing time at third base. The infielder is up to a .235/.289/.353 slash line with three home runs, 11 RBI, 15 runs scored and seven doubles in 38 games this year.
MAY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Rougned Odor - Posts three hits in win Odor went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 12-8 win over the Red Sox.
Impact Odor has been excellent lately -- he's riding an 11-game hitting streak, going 14-for-41 (.341) in that span. That's come with some power as well, as the infielder has two home runs, a triple and four doubles during the streak. It's raised his slash line to .237/.273/.412 with three homers, 19 RBI, 15 runs scored, two triples and 10 doubles through 41 games. He hasn't attempted a stolen base this season, and Odor hasn't had a successful steal since 2019, so he shouldn't be counted on for much speed.

Cionel Pérez - Snags third win Perez (3-0) retired the only batter he faced to earn the win in Friday's game versus the Red Sox.
Impact Perez got the last out in the eighth inning to keep the game tied at 8-8, and the Orioles' offense tacked on four runs in the ninth to earn the win. The southpaw needed just one pitch to get Christian Arroyo to pop out. Perez has been effective while seeing a little high-leverage work this year, posting a 0.64 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 15:7 K:BB across 14 innings. He's added three holds, though his 3.64 FIP and .364 BABIP suggest regression could be on the horizon since he's been fairly fortunate in 2022.

Jahmai Jones - Designated for assignment Jones (elbow) was designated for assignment by the Orioles on Saturday.
Impact Jones has been at Triple-A Norfolk to begin the season, but he underwent Tommy John surgery Friday and will likely miss the rest of the year. The 24-year-old will now lose his spot on the Orioles' 40-man roster but will likely remain in the organization if he goes unclaimed on waivers.
MAY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Beau Sulser - Sent down Saturday Sulser was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.
Impact Sulser was called up by Baltimore to begin the week, and he allowed two runs on seven hits and no walks while failing to strike out a batter in three innings Friday against Boston. The right-hander will head back to the Triple-A level, where he's posted a 2.45 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in 14.2 innings over four appearances (three starts) in 2022.
MAY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Denyi Reyes - Called up, poised to start Saturday The Orioles recalled Reyes from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday, Zachary Silver of MLB.com. He's expected to start the second game of the team's doubleheader with the Red Sox.
Impact Baltimore also selected the contract of Triple-A rotation mate Cody Sedlock, so Reyes could have a short leash in his first MLB start if Sedlock goes unused in the first game of the twin bill and is available for the nightcap. Over his five outings at Norfolk this season, Reyes has produced a solid 28:5 K:BB across 24 innings, but he's posted a 6.38 ERA and 1.42 WHIP.
MAY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Cody Sedlock - Contract selected by Orioles Sedlock's contract was selected by the Orioles on Saturday.
Impact Sedlock made eight appearances (four starts) at Triple-A Norfolk to begin the season, and he posted a 5.83 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 29.1 innings. Although the right-hander has operated in a hybrid role in the minors, he'll pitch out of the bullpen to begin his major-league career.
MAY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Lyles - Starting Saturday's matinee Lyles is starting the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Red Sox, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.
Impact Lyles has posted a 3.31 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 32.2 innings over five starts in May, and he'll make his 10th start of the season during Saturday's matinee. Although he's posted quality starts in four of his last five outings, the right-hander has earned just two wins during that time.
MAY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jorge Mateo - Gets breather for Game 1 Mateo isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Red Sox, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.
Impact Mateo has gone 2-for-13 with a homer, three RBI, a steal and six strikeouts over the last three games. Chris Owings will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Saturday's matinee.
MAY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Adley Rutschman - Takes seat for matinee Rutschman isn't starting the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Red Sox, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.
Impact Ruschman started in the last six games and hit .200 with a triple, a run, a walk and five strikeouts. He'll get a breather early Saturday while Robinson Chirinos starts behind the dish and bats eighth.
MAY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jorge Mateo - Hits third long ball Mateo went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run during Friday's 12-8 win against the Red Sox.
Impact Mateo came to the plate with two on and one out during the seventh inning, and he delivered with a three-run home run to start the comeback and bring Baltimore within three runs. Despite hitting his third home run of the season, the 1-for-5 effort dropped the 26-year-old's average to .207, and he's also struck out 15 times in his past 10 games.

Austin Hays - Clubs two-run homer Hays went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored during Friday's 12-8 win over the Red Sox.
Impact Hays delivered a two-run shot during the eighth inning to cut the deficit to one run, and he walked and came around to score in the ninth to put Baltimore up 10-8. The 26-year-old extended his hit streak to seven games, and he's gone 9-for-27 with two home runs, nine RBI and six runs during that stretch.
MAY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Santander - Powers massive comeback Santander went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk, three RBI and three runs scored during Friday's 12-8 win at Boston.
Impact Santander started the scoring for Baltimore with a two-run homer during the fourth inning to cut Boston's lead to 6-2, and he also delivered an RBI single in the ninth to take the lead. The 29-year-old came into Friday's contest with one hit and seven strikeouts across his past three games, but it now appears he's back on track. Santander has a .226/.340/.409 slash line with eight home runs, 24 RBI and 22 runs in 45 games this year.
MAY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Bradish - Tagged for six runs Bradish didn't factor in the decision during Friday's 12-8 win over the Red Sox after surrendering six runs on six hits with two strikeouts and one walk over 1.2 innings.
Impact Xander Bogaerts capped off a four-run first inning with a three-run homer, and Bradish was pulled with two outs in the second after allowing a two-run double to Alex Verdugo. The Orioles rallied to score 12 unanswered runs and overcame a six-run deficit, which took Bradish off the hook for the loss. The right-hander has now given up at least four earned runs in four of his six starts this season, and his spot in the big-league rotation could be in jeopardy given his struggles.
MAY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Bemboom - Outrighted to Triple-A Bemboom cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday.
Impact Bemboom was designated for assignment last weekend but will remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. He played in 22 games for Baltimore before being DFA'd and hit .115/.207/.212 in 59 plate appearances.

Jahmai Jones - Undergoes Tommy John surgery Jones (elbow) underwent successful Tommy John surgery Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact Jones was placed on the 7-day minor-league injured list in mid-May due to right elbow inflammation, and he'll miss significant time following Friday's procedure. While position players don't usually require as much recovery time following Tommy John surgery, he'll require several months to recover, and it seems likely that he'll be sidelined for the remainder of the 2022 season.
