Simpson went 2-for-5 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Tigers.

He was also caught stealing, giving Simpson a 25-for-31 showing on the basepaths through his first 50 big-league contests. The 24-year-old speedster has also hit safely in eight straight games to begin July, pushing his slash line to .310/.341/.351. While his lack of power does limit his overall upside, Simpson's steals are likely to have an outsized impact on fantasy pennant races in the second half.

Caminero went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Tigers.

Just named to his first All-Star Game, Caminero wrapped up the scoring on the night by clobbering a Chase Lee sweeper to lead off the seventh inning. The 22-year-old third baseman is up to 22 homers on the season, including five in his last 16 games, but he's otherwise in a bit of a rut and is slashing .224/.239/.493 over that stretch with a 2:18 BB:K.

Mullins is absent from the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Mets.

Mullins will sit out the first game of the twin bill but should be back in the starting nine for the nightcap. Colton Cowser will cover center field for the Orioles in the matinee.

Langford went 2-for-4 with two steals and two runs scored in Wednesday's 11-8 loss to the Angels.

Langford stole second and third base in the fourth inning, bumping his season total to 13 through 72 games. Both of his runs were game-tying scores in what was a back-and-forth game. He has multiple hits in two consecutive games and bounced back quickly from an oblique injury that landed him on the 10-day injured list. Langford is 5-for-18 with three walks, two extra-base hits, four RBI, two steals and six runs scored in five games since coming off the IL.

Littell (8-7) picked up the win Wednesday, giving up three runs on six hits and two walks over 5.2 innings in a 7-3 victory over the Tigers. He struck out four.

He was lifted after 87 pitches (56 strikes) with the Rays clinging to a 4-3 lead and Zach McKinstry having just laced his second double of the game off Littell, denying the right-hander his third straight quality start and his 13th of the season. Littell has been tagged for more than three runs only once in 13 outings since the beginning of May, delivering a 2.95 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 58:9 K:BB through 82.1 innings over that stretch while going 7-2 as he heads into the All-Star break.

O'Hearn is absent from the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Mets.

The left-handed-hitting O'Hearn will sit out against Mets southpaw David Peterson in the opening leg of the twin bill. Coby Mayo will hold down first base for the Orioles.

Henderson is not in the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Mets.

The left-handed-hitting Henderson will take a seat in the first game of the twin bill as the Mets send southpaw David Peterson to the bump. Luis Vazquez will play shortstop and bat seventh for the Orioles. Henderson is likely to be back in the lineup for the second game between the two teams Thursday.

Gray (forearm) allowed one run on one hit and struck out one over two innings for Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday.

Gray began a rehab assignment with the Express, throwing 32 pitches (20 strikes), and was touched for a home run. Texas manager Bruce Bochy told Kennedi Landry of MLB.com that Gray would log about four outings while on rehab but acknowledged that is a "rough timeline."

Enns tossed three scoreless innings of relief in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Rays. He allowed four hits and struck out two.

Enns made his last outing as a starter on July 3, when he allowed eight runs (seven earned) across four innings. Detroit manager A.J. Hinch announced a few days later that the lefty would shift to the bullpen, and Wednesday's appearance was his first in that role. Enns worked exclusively as a starter for the Tigers and Triple-A Toledo prior to Wednesday, so he should at least be able to give the team some length as a reliever, and he was effective in his first stint.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Houston.

Ramirez hit the second of back-to-back home runs in the first inning. It was the third consecutive game that he's gone deep. He later was part of a double steal in the seventh that put him in position to score the Guardians' third run. Ramirez is up to 17 home runs and 25 steals through 88 games.
