Trevor Rogers and the Orioles look to rebound in the first of three against the Rangers at Camden Yards.
The Orioles will give it their best today without Adley Rutschman, Jordan Westburg or Maverick Handley. Westburg dodged the injured list but is still considered day-to-day with a sprained left index finger. The backstops weren’t as fortunate.
Gary Sánchez will bat cleanup and slot in as the designated hitter. That sentence feels depressing, but Sánchez will probably prove us wrong with a homer tonight.
Chadwick Tromp is the new catcher on the block with Handley hitting the 7-day IL. I suppose Tromp could homer too, but I won’t go that far.
Ramón Laureano will bat second as the O’s look to matchup against left-handed starter Patrick Corbin. Ramón Urías will bat fifth, and Colton Cowser will follow. Coby Mayo will return to first base with Cedric Mullins and Tromp rounding out the lineup.
Trevor Rogers will attempt to last longer than he did in his last outing against Tampa Bay. We’ll see if he’s blessed with that type of run support again this evening.
Orioles lineup:
- Jackson Holliday 2B
- Ramón Laureano RF
- Gunnar Henderson SS
- Gary Sánchez DH
- Ramón Urías 3B
- Colton Cowser LF
- Coby Mayo 1B
- Cedric Mullins CF
- Chadwick Tromp C
