Ramón Urías - Sitting MondayUrias is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

ImpactAfter striking out in all five of his plate appearances in Saturday's 9-8 loss to the Red Sox, Urias saved face to some degree in Baltimore's 9-5 loss in the series finale Sunday, when he went 1-for-3 with a double and a run. He'll cede his spot in the infield in Monday's series opener in Texas to Adam Frazier, who gets the nod at the keystone.

Austin Hays - Gets Monday offHays is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

ImpactDespite churning out six hits while starting in all three games of the Orioles' season-opening series with the Red Sox, Hays will head to the bench Monday. His absence from the lineup is likely little more than manager Brandon Hyde wanting to ensure that Kyle Stowers gets a chance to make a start early on in the season, as Hays otherwise looks to be locked into a near-everyday role.

Jorge Mateo - Cleared to start MondayMateo (hand) will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Rangers.

ImpactThe speedy infielder is back in action after he was held out of Sunday's 9-5 loss to the Red Sox with a minor laceration on his right hand. Mateo's free-swinging approach will likely make him a liability in the batting-average category this season, but so long as he stays healthy and sticks in an everyday role, he should be a leading contender for MLB's stolen-base crown. He's already gone a perfect 4-for-4 in steal attempts through his first two games of the young season.

Kyle Stowers - Receives first startStowers is in left field and batting sixth for the Orioles in Monday's game in Texas.

ImpactIt's the first start of the season for Stowers, who had been limited to one pinch-hitting appearance which resulted in a strikeout. It had seemed like the 25-year-old was headed for a significant role between designated hitter and some starts in the outfield, but that hasn't come to fruition yet.

Triston Casas - Batting sixth again MondayCasas is starting at first base and batting sixth for the Red Sox in Monday's game versus the Pirates.

ImpactManager Alex Cora intimated before the season that both Casas and Alex Verdugo would get a look in the leadoff spot against right-handers, but it's been Verdugo there in all three games versus righties while Casas settles into the six spot. In the team's lone contest against a lefty, Rob Refsnyder led off, Verdugo batted sixth and Casas was on the bench. Verdugo is off to a much better start than Casas, so it's not terribly surprising Cora hasn't switched things up yet.
