Mountcastle isn't in the Orioles' lineup for Thursday's game versus Seattle.

Mountcastle went 1-for-4 with an RBI during his first game back from an illness Wednesday, and he'll now get another day to rest against Bryce Miller and the Mariners. Ryan O'Hearn will move to first base as a result, allowing Heston Kjerstad to serve as the DH.

Rutschman isn't in the Orioles' lineup for Thursday's game against the Mariners.

Rutschman will get a day to regroup Thursday after being held hitless in 13 at-bats over his last four games. James McCann will instead get the nod to start at catcher while batting ninth.

Canzone is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Orioles.

Canzone started the first two games of the series but went hitless. He will yield to Mitch Haniger in right field for Thursday's series finale.

Polanco is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles.

Polanco was given a semi-day off Wednesday in the designated hitter slot and will be out of the lineup altogether Thursday. Ryan Bliss is getting the start at second base for the Mariners.

Langeliers isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels.

Langeliers will get a breather after he went 1-for-4 and stole a base during Wednesday's win. Kyle McCann will start behind the plate instead and bat fifth.

Garver (wrist) will start at designated hitter and bat second in Thursday's game versus the Orioles.

Garver was used as a pinch hitter in Wednesday's game and is now back in the lineup after missing two starts with a sore wrist. He and his teammates will be tasked with solving Baltimore ace Corbin Burnes.

Booser is with the Red Sox in Miami as part of their taxi squad, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Booser isn't eligible to be recalled until July 9 unless he replaces an injured player, so it appears he's around as protection in case an IL move is required. It's not clear whose spot the left-handed reliever might take.

Rocchio went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-2 loss to the White Sox.

Rocchio has been decent lately, batting .267 with a pair of extra-base hits over his last 11 games. The shortstop is up to three homers this season, all of which have been in his last 21 contests. He still has a lackluster .218/.313/.315 slash line overall, but he's been trending in the right direction as gets more major-league experience. Rocchio has added 16 RBI, 34 runs scored and seven stolen bases through 73 games.

Schneeman is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the White Sox.

Schneeman started the previous three games and went 3-for-10 with a double and a homer, but he'll sit Thursday as southpaw Jared Shuster takes the mound for Chicago. Angel Martinez will handle center field and bat second.

Fry is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the White Sox.

Fry has a .606 OPS over his past 12 games and will take a seat for Thursday's contest. Jose Ramirez will rest his legs as the designated hitter while Gabriel Arias receives a start at the hot corner.
