JOSE IGLESIAS NEWS

Lands on injured list Iglesias was placed on the 10-day injured list with a sore left quadriceps Tuesday.

Impact Iglesias last played Saturday, so it's possible he could return as soon as next Wednesday, though the Orioles haven't given a specific timeline for his return. Andrew Velasquez starts at shortstop in his absence Tuesday.

Still battling quadriceps issue Iglesias will sit for the second straight game due to lingering quadriceps soreness Monday against the Blue Jays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Iglesias has missed time at various points this season with the issue but had since returned to start four straight contests before sitting both Sunday and Monday. It appears that the Orioles will continue to manage things day-by-day with their surprisingly hot shortstop, who's hitting .400/.414/.564 through his first 16 games. Andrew Velazquez will handle the position in his absence.

Not starting Sunday Iglesias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Iglesias has started in the last four games and has recently battled a sore quadriceps, so he's likely just getting some needed maintenance in the series finale. Pat Valaika will fill in for Iglesias at shortstop.

Three-hit effort Saturday Iglesias went 3-for-5 with an RBI single and a run scored in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Nationals.

Impact Iglesias got on base with a double in the first inning and scored on a Pedro Severino two-run double. In the eighth, Iglesias added an RBI single for his third hit of the game. The shortstop is slashing .400/.414/.564 with 10 RBI, four runs scored and nine doubles in 16 games.

Logs two hits as DH Iglesias went 2-for-4 with a double, walk and two RBI in Thursday's win over the Phillies.

Impact With Iglesias dealing with a quadriceps issue earlier in the week, the shortstop got to rest his legs a bit and serve as the designated hitter in Thursday's win. He did well in the unfamiliar role, belting a two-run double off Vince Velasquez in the seventh inning. Iglesias will likely return to shortstop when Baltimore opens its series with the Nationals on Friday.

Back in action Iglesias (quadriceps) is starting at shortstop and hitting third Wednesday against the Phillies, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

Impact A sore quad has kept Iglesias out of the starting lineup for the past two games, though he has been cleared to return after serving as a pinch hitter during Tuesday's series opener. He's 15-for-38 with seven doubles and seven RBI through 12 games this season.

Still nursing sore quad Iglesias is still dealing with a sore quad Tuesday, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Iglesias is on the bench for the second straight game Tuesday, and manager Brandon Hyde revealed prior to the game that he's still dealing with the effects of his previous quad injury. It's unclear when he'll return to the Orioles' starting nine.

Remains on bench Tuesday Iglesias isn't starting Tuesday against the Phillies.

Impact After he was absent from the lineup for Sunday's contest, Iglesias will play a bench role for the second straight game. Pat Valaika is starting at shortstop Tuesday, batting ninth.

Gets day off Iglesias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Pat Valaika checks in at shortstop in place of Iglesias, who will take a seat as the Orioles and Nationals wrap up their series with a game that starts at 12:35 p.m. ET. Iglesias had started the Orioles' previous five games, going 5-for-18 with two doubles, three RBI and a run scored over that stretch.

Tallies four hits Friday Iglesias went 4-for-4 with a double, three RBI and one run in Friday's win against the Nationals.

Impact Iglesias had been fairly quiet over the past three games since returning from a quad injury, but he filled the stat sheet in Friday's 11-0 blowout. Although he recorded just one extra-base hit, he recorded timely hits to drive in a season-high three runs. He now has a 1.124 OPS with seven doubles and seven RBI over his first 10 games of the season.

Serving as designated hitter Iglesias (quadriceps) will bat third as the designated hitter in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Marlins, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact A sore quadriceps has kept Iglesias out of the lineup for a week, so it's no surprise to see that he won't be asked to play shortstop twice in one day. Whether or not he plays the field in the nightcap remains to be seen. Andrew Velazquez will cover the position in the afternoon game.

May return Wednesday Iglesias (quariceps) may return to the lineup for Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Marlins, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 30-year-old has been absent from the starting nine since last Wednesday due to quadriceps soreness, though he did made two appearances off the bench. Iglesias' availability will be determined by how he feels once he arrives to the ballpark Wednesday.

Remains out Tuesday Iglesias (quadriceps) is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Marlins.

Impact Iglesias will remain out of the starting lineup for the fifth consecutive game for the team's series opener against Miami, but he's been available off the bench while dealing with quad soreness. That trend should continue Tuesday, and it wouldn't be surprising to see the shortstop return to the starting nine soon. Andrew Velazquez will play shortstop and bat ninth in Iglesias' absence.

Impact Valaika will start for the third time in four days, will each turn in the lineup coming at a different position. Assuming the absences of Ruiz, Chris Davis (knee) and Jose Iglesias (quadriceps) prove to be only short-term concerns, Valaika should slide back into a full-time reserve role before long.

AUGUST 2, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Sticking in bench role Valaika is out of the lineup in Sunday's game against the Rays.

Impact Valaika drew starts at shortstop Thursday against the Yankees and at first base in Friday's series opener with Tampa Bay, filling in for an injured Jose Iglesias (quadriceps) and Chris Davis (knee), respectively. With Andrew Velazquez and Renato Nunez having now picked up the last two starts in place of Iglesias and Davis, Valaika looks like he'll continue to function as a deep reserve for the Orioles. Through six appearances this season, Valaika has gone 3-for-11 with an RBI.
