Orioles' Chris Bassitt: Looks ready to rejoin rotation
Bassitt (back) struck out five and allowed three hits and two walks across six scoreless innings Friday in a rehab start with Triple-A Norfolk.
Bassitt built up to 83 pitches (51 strikes) in the third and most likely final start of his minor-league rehab assignment. Over his three outings with Norfolk, Bassitt submitted a 1.98 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB In 13.2 innings. He's expected to return from the 60-day injured list to slot into the rotation this weekend during the Orioles' series at Tampa Bay. The Orioles already cleared a spot in the rotation for Bassitt by optioning lefty Cade Povich to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

Orioles' Trevor Rogers: Wild in eighth loss
Rogers (7-8) took the loss against the Twins on Monday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out four.
Rogers struggled to find the plate Monday, throwing only 45 of his 79 pitches for strikes while also plunking a pair of batters. It was the southpaw's shortest outing since May 8 in Tampa Bay, breaking up his streak of 12 starts with at least five innings. Rogers, who's worked to a 2.41 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 64:16 K:BB since the start of June (71 innings), will be aiming to rediscover his control against the Rays in pitcher-friendly Tampa Bay his next time out.

Orioles' Christian Encarnacion-Strand: Slipping into timeshare at 3B
Encarnacion-Strand is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.
With the hot-hitting Tyler O'Neill seemingly solidifying himself as the Orioles' primary designated hitter, Encarnacion-Strand looks to have faded into a timeshare at third base with Coby Mayo, who will cover the position in Monday's series opener. Encarnacion-Strand will hit the bench for the third time in four contests while he's gone just 3-for-27 with a 2:8 BB:K over his last 10 games.

Orioles' Cam Sanders: Rejoins big-league bullpen
The Orioles recalled Sanders from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.
Sanders made two scoreless appearances for the Orioles in July and is back for another go-round with the big club. The 29-year-old will fill a middle-relief role.

Orioles' Cade Povich: Sent down after start Sunday
The Orioles optioned Povich to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.
Povich started Sunday's game against the Rangers, yielding three runs on four hits and two walks over just three innings. With Chris Bassitt (back) due to return from the 60-day injured list later this week, Povich is headed back to Norfolk.

Orioles' Colton Cowser: Delivers homer in win
Cowser went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk and two RBI in Sunday's 10-5 win over the Rangers.
Cowser added to Baltimore's early lead by taking Kumar Rocker deep for a solo homer in the second inning, giving him nine home runs on the season. He later drew a bases-loaded walk in the ninth to secure his first multi-RBI performance since June 21. Cowser had struggled mightily over the past month entering Sunday, batting just .121 across his previous 29 games with only one RBI.

Orioles' Pete Alonso: Erupts for two homers
Alonso went 3-for-3 with two home runs, two walks, four RBI and an additional run scored in Sunday's 10-5 win over the Rangers.
Alonso reached base in all five of his plate appearances and recorded his first multi-homer game as an Oriole, launching two-run shots in back-to-back at-bats. The huge performance came after Alonso entered Sunday with just one extra-base hit while batting .160 through seven August games. With 25 on the season now, he's on pace to reach 30 home runs for the seventh time in his career and sixth consecutive season, though his overall production has slipped compared to his usual standards, with a .472 slugging percentage and .818 OPS.

Orioles' Cade Povich: Tagged for three runs Sunday
Povich did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Rangers, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two over three innings.
Povich opened with two scoreless frames while Baltimore's offense spotted him a five-run lead, but he couldn't maintain the momentum. After allowing a hit and a walk in the third, he surrendered a three-run homer to Brandon Nimmo that accounted for all of the damage against him. The outing was a stark contrast to his first start since returning to the rotation, when he delivered six scoreless innings. Through 28.1 major-league innings this season, Povich owns a 4.45 ERA with a 21:10 K:BB. He's currently slated to start Saturday against the Rays, though Chris Bassitt's (back) impending return from the injured list could alter those plans.

Orioles' Ryan Helsley: In store for long buildup
Helsley (elbow) said Sunday that he's about a week into his throwing program but is likely a couple of weeks away from getting back on a mound, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.
On the shelf for the second time this season due to a right elbow injury, Helsley looks like he'll be eased along slowly during his rehab program. He's expected to gradually increase his throwing distance off flat ground for the next two weeks before he begins throwing bullpen sessions. After that, Helsey will then need to resume facing hitters and complete a rehab assignment before potentially making his return to the Baltimore bullpen. Given the multiple hurdles Helsley still needs to clear, he doesn't appear likely to make it back from the 60-day injured list until at least early September.

Orioles' Tyler O'Neill: Playing time on upswing
O'Neill will start at designated hitter and bat cleanup Sunday against the Rangers.
O'Neill will draw a third straight start after getting on base five times in the first two contests of the series. Since the All-Star break, O'Neill has posted a 1.026 OPS over 15 games, and his red-hot bat looks like it has earned him more opportunities against right-handed pitching.

Orioles' Leody Taveras: Reclaiming playing time
Taveras will start in right field and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Rangers.
Trade-deadline pickup Christian Franklin picked up starts in the outfield in the Orioles' first two games this week, but he'll hit the bench for a fourth straight contest while Taveras once again plays ahead of him. Taveras has gone just 2-for-10 with a double, a walk and a run scored over the previous three games, so he still has some work to do before solidifying himself as the Orioles' everyday right fielder.

Orioles' Christian Encarnacion-Strand: Not starting Sunday
Encarnacion-Strand is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.
Encarnacion-Strand has gone 2-for-19 with seven strikeouts through seven games in August and will hit the bench Sunday for the second time in Baltimore's past three games. Coby Mayo will start at third base and bat seventh while Tyler O'Neill gets a turn at designated hitter.

Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Breaks out with solo homer
Holliday went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 5-1 loss to Texas.
Holliday accounted for Baltimore's entire scoring output Saturday, and it's worth noting he's hit third in the lineup in consecutive games. The infielder was hitless in 18 previous at-bats to begin August, which makes for a disappointing start to the month after he hit .368 and turned in a .500 on-base percentage in July. Holliday is slashing a career-best .242/.349/.388 with six homers, six doubles, 21 RBI and five stolen bases over 212 plate appearances this year.
