Orioles' Austin Slater: Logs first steal with new team
Rotowire
Slater recorded a stolen base as a pinch runner in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Red Sox.
Slater has gone 6-for-15 with two doubles, one RBI and two runs scored over nine contests with the Orioles, but his theft Sunday was his first with his new team. He's had limited chance to make an impact as a short-side platoon player, and it's unlikely he serves as anything more than a fourth or fifth outfielder. For the year, he has a .211/.331/.260 slash line with one home run, three steals, 13 RBI and 16 runs scored over 151 plate appearances between the Giants, Reds and Orioles.

Orioles' Cedric Mullins: Notches another steal in win
Rotowire
Mullins went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Red Sox.
Mullins has been more active on the basepaths with three steals over his last four games. It helps that the outfielder has gone 8-for-27 (.296) across his last 10 contests, which is one of his better stretches this season. For the year, he's at a .224/.283/.397 slash line with 22 steals, 13 home runs, 41 RBI and 51 runs scored over 373 plate appearances. He remains limited to a strong-side platoon role in center field, with Colton Cowser often shifting over from left when the Orioles face a southpaw.

Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Homers in return
Rotowire
Rutschman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Red Sox.
Rutschman was scratched from the lineup Friday due to back soreness, and he didn't start Saturday, though he went 0-for-2 off the bench. This was his first homer since July 19 -- he hit a poor .216 (16-for-74) over 23 games between long balls. That rough patch has dulled the shine of Rutschman's overall stats, as he's now at a .266/.331/.428 slash line with 18 homers, 70 RBI, 59 runs scored, 16 doubles and a stolen base over 114 contests. Despite the recent struggles, Rutschman's heavy workload between catcher and designated hitter gives him ample fantasy appeal. There's also a fair chance he bounces back, as he struck out at just an 11.9 percent rate during his power drought.

Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Homers again Sunday
Rotowire
Henderson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Red Sox.
Henderson's sixth-inning homer gave the Orioles their margin of victory. The shortstop has gone deep four times over his last five games, adding eight RBI in that span. For the season, Henderson is slashing .288/.374/.562 with 33 homers, 77 RBI, 98 runs scored and 14 stolen bases over 123 contests. He should continue to be heavily involved in run production from the No. 3 spot in Baltimore's order.

Orioles' Jud Fabian: Promoted to Triple-A
Rotowire
Fabian was promoted to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.
Fabian has spent the entire 2024 season with Double-A Bowie and has maintained a .344 wOBA and 115 wRC+. However, he was still plagued by a 29.5 percent strikeout rate, which dampens his long-term outlook significantly.

Orioles' Seranthony Dominguez: Collects fourth save
Rotowire
Dominguez earned his fourth save of the season Sunday against the Red Sox, allowing one earned run on one hit and zero walks in 1.1 innings. He struck out three.
Dominguez allowed a solo home run to Rob Refsnyder in the ninth but was otherwise excellent, escaping a bases loaded jam in the eighth and striking out three batters in the ninth inning. With incumbent closer Craig Kimbrel allowing earned runs in back-to-back appearances, manager Brandon Hyde appears to have turned over the closer role to the newly-acquired Dominguez. The 29-year-old Dominguez has been superb since coming over from Philadelphia on July 26, converting all three of his save chances while logging a robust 1.74 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB in 10.1 innings.

Orioles' Albert Suarez: Earns win with six scoreless
Rotowire
Suarez (6-4) pitched six scoreless innings to earn the win Sunday against Boston, allowing seven hits and zero walks while striking out six.
Suarez was excellent Sunday, scattering seven hits (all singles) to notch his fourth quality start of the season. Suarez has been excellent since filling Grayson Rodriguez's (lat) spot in the rotation on August 6, firing 17.2 scoreless innings in three starts. The 34-year-old now sports a 3.18 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 78:33 K:BB in 96.1 innings (17 starts) this season. He is tentatively scheduled to face the Astros next weekend.

The Orioles recalled Selby from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.
The 26-year-old was acquired from the Royals in early July and will now receive his first look in the big leagues with the Orioles. Selby also spent time with the Pirates earlier in the season, but he's struggled at Triple-A between all three organizations with a 5.79 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 42:16 K:BB over 32.2 innings.

Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Returns for series finale
Rotowire
Rutschman (back) is starting at catcher and batting fifth in Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
Rutschman was a late scratch from Friday's lineup due to lower-back discomfort, and after sitting Saturday, he's back behind home plate for the series finale. He'll face off against Red Sox right-hander Kutter Crawford.

Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Regaining power stroke
Rotowire
Henderson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Red Sox on Saturday.
Henderson accounted for Baltimore's only run in the loss with his sixth-inning solo blast. The long ball was his third in his past four contests on the heels of a 23-game stretch during which he went deep just once. While Henderson's power numbers waned in the weeks following the All-Star break, he appears to be rounding back into form in that area and is still tied for sixth in the majors with 32 long balls on the season.

Orioles' Cade Povich: Heading back to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Orioles will option Povich to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Povich was brought up to the big-league club to start Saturday's game against the Red Sox and give the Orioles' rotation an additional day of rest. The 24-year-old completed 6.1 innings, allowing two runs on six hits with no walks and six strikeouts. However, he'll return to Norfolk and will likely remain there until the Orioles require another starter. After Saturday's loss, Povich has a 1-6 record to go along with a 5.77 ERA and 31:23 K:BB across 43.2 innings.

Rotowire
Webb (elbow) played catch Saturday, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Webb has been on the shelf since Aug. 7 due to elbow inflammation and Saturday appears to be the first time he's played catch since. Initial indications were that Webb wouldn't need to miss much more than the minimum 15 days, but he seems to be at least a week or two away from returning.

Orioles' Cade Povich: Recalled ahead of start
Rotowire
Povich was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday ahead of his start against the Red Sox.
Povich has a 3.86 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 11 strikeouts in 14 innings over two starts for Norfolk since last getting optioned July 29. While the 24-year-old lefty has been largely successful this year in the highest level of the minors (3.48 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, 89 strikeouts in 77.2 innings), he has been overmatched against big-league hitters, logging a 14.3 percent strikeout rate and 13.1 percent walk rate in 37.1 innings. With Albert Suarez expected to start Sunday, Povich may be optioned back to Triple-A after this start.
