Orioles' John Means: Builds up to 79 pitches
Means (forearm) struck out five and allowed three earned runs on seven hits and one walk over 4.1 innings in a rehab start Tuesday for Triple-A Norfolk.
Means built up to 79 pitches in the rehab start, his fifth overall with Norfolk. The 31-year-old lefty hasn't performed as well as the Orioles had hoped during the rehab assignment -- he holds a 13.89 ERA, 2.41 WHIP and 14:6 K:BB in 11.2 innings -- but with Wednesday's outing arguably being Means' best yet, he could be cleared to return from the 15-day injured list soon. According to Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com, the Orioles haven't ruled out the possibility of Means returning from the IL to start Sunday versus the Athletics, though the club may prefer to have the red-hot Albert Suarez (11.1 scoreless innings through two starts) make another turn through the rotation.

Orioles' Cionel Perez: Starting rehab assignment
Perez (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday, Brent Maguire of MLB.com reports.
Perez has been out since the opening weekend of the season with a right oblique strain but has trended in a good direction recently and is ready to test himself in a game setting. He'll need at least a couple rehab appearances before returning from the 15-day injured list.

Orioles' Hudson Haskin: Returns from IL
Haskin (hip) went 1-for-4 with a walk and a run scored Tuesday in Triple-A Norfolk's 9-4 loss to Gwinnett after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list.
Haskin was cleared to make his 2024 debut for Norfolk after he completed an 11-game rehab assignment at High-A Aberdeen, with whom he slashed .205/.404/.308 over 52 plate appearances. With Heston Kjerstad getting called up to Baltimore on Tuesday, Haskin should have a chance to play regularly for Norfolk now that he's fully recovered from the left hip surgery he underwent last summer.

Orioles' Heston Kjerstad: Out against left-hander
Kjerstad is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.
The left-handed-hitting Kjerstad started versus a right-hander Tuesday in his first game following a promotion from Triple-A Norfolk, but he'll take a seat Wednesday against southpaw Tyler Anderson. Colton Cowser and Anthony Santander will handle the corner-outfield spots for the Orioles and Adley Rutschman will serve as the Orioles' designated hitter while Kjerstad and fellow lefty hitter Ryan O'Hearn head to the bench.

Orioles' Ryan O'Hearn: Takes seat versus lefty
O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.
The lefty-hitting O'Hearn will retreat to the bench while southpaw Tyler Anderson toes the rubber for the Angels. O'Hearn's absence clears up the designated-hitter spot for Adley Rutschman, allowing Rutschman to get a day out of the field while James McCann handles catching duties for Baltimore.

Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Benched against lefty
Holliday is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.
The lefty-hitting Holliday will take a seat for the second time in three days while the Angels bring another southpaw (Tyler Anderson) to the hill for the series finale. Jorge Mateo will check in at second base in place of Holliday, who is off to a 2-for-34 start to his big-league career since receiving a promotion from Triple-A Norfolk on April 10.

Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Returns to lineup Wednesday
Mountcastle (knee) will start at first base and bat third in Wednesday's game versus the Angels.
Mountcastle missed two games with some knee soreness but is feeling well enough to give it a go Wednesday against left-hander Tyler Anderson. The 27-year-old is sporting a .333/.395/.507 batting line with two home runs over 20 contests this season.

Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Three hits in Tuesday's loss
Rutschman went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Angels.
Rutschman is on a tear during his five-game hitting streak, going 11-for-24 (.458) with seven RBI in that span. All three of his hits Tuesday were singles, and he has just two extra-base hits during the active streak. Rutschman continues to cement his status as one of the top catchers in baseball with a .323/.366/.419 slash line with two home runs, 14 RBI and 15 runs scored over 101 plate appearances this season.

Orioles' Grayson Rodriguez: Hit hard in loss
Rodriguez (3-1) took the loss Tuesday against the Angels after allowing seven runs on 11 hits and a walk while striking out seven over 4.1 innings.
Rodriguez allowed a career-high 11 hits and nearly matched his career high with seven runs allowed. While the 4.1 innings pitched was a season low, he still was able to rack up seven strikeouts, which were his most since April 5. The Angels scored at least a run in each of the first four innings and 10 of the 14 balls put in play against Rodriguez were hard hit. The 24-year-old now sits at a 4.45 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 34:9 K:BB in 28.1 innings and will look to get back on track in a divisional showdown with the Yankees.

Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Leaves yard Tuesday
Henderson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Angels.
Henderson plated his first run in the fifth on a sacrifice fly and later sent one out to right field in the seventh to bring the Orioles within three runs. He's been seeing the ball extremely well over the first month and is slashing .405/.452/.811 with four homers, eight RBI and eight runs over his last nine games. He's now in a four-way tie for third in baseball with seven home runs in the early going.

Orioles' John Means: Continuing rehab assignment
Means (forearm) is making a rehab start with Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.comreports.
The veteran left-hander recorded just one out and threw 34 pitches in his previous rehab outing, so he'll look to get back on track and build up his workload Tuesday. Means could require an additional rehab start before joining the Orioles, which would mean his season debut wouldn't come before the end of April.

Orioles' Enrique Bradfield: Lands on injured list
Bradfield was placed on the injured list at High-A Aberdeen on Tuesday with an apparent head injury, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
The 22-year-old suffered the injury Saturday as he was hit in the head by a tag on a slide into home plate. It's unclear how long Bradfield is expected to be sidelined, but he'll be on the shelf for at least the next week.

Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Remains out Tuesday
Mountcastle (knee) isn't in the Orioles' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.
Knee soreness kept Mountcastle from playing in Monday's contest, though manager Brandon Hyde said the 27-year-old was available off the bench for that game. He will remain in the dugout once again Tuesday, allowing Ryan O'Hearn to start at first base while Anthony Santander serves as Baltimore's DH and Heston Kjerstad covers right field.

Orioles' David Banuelos: Sent to Triple-A
The Orioles optioned Banuelos to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.
The 27-year-old had his contract selected by Baltimore on Monday but was only with the big club one day, as prospect Heston Kjerstad was promoted Tuesday. Banuelos isn't likely to receive another look with the Orioles if Adley Rutschman and James McCann stay healthy.

Orioles' Heston Kjerstad: Promotion made official
The Orioles recalled Kjerstad from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.
Kjerstad had gotten off to an unbelievable start at Norfolk this season, slashing .349/.431/.744 with 10 home runs over 21 contests. It could be tricky finding consistent playing time for Kjerstad given the Orioles' bevy of options, but the left-handed batter will certainly be in the mix for starts between designated hitter, the corner outfield spots and first base against right-handed pitching.

Orioles' Colton Cowser: Continues early-season success
Cowser went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against the Angels in a 4-2 win Monday.
Cowser accounted for Baltimore's final run with a seventh-inning solo shot off Reid Detmers. It was the young slugger's sixth long ball of the campaign and his second in as many games. Cowser looked lost facing major-league batting for the first time last season, posting a .115/.286/.148 slash line with a 28.6 percent strikeout rate over 77 plate appearances. He's turned things around dramatically to start this season, however, recording a .364/.400/.800 slash line along with 12 extra-base hits, 10 runs, 17 RBI and three thefts through 60 plate appearances.
