Calf injury still lingering Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Wednesday that Hays is still dealing with lingering effects from his left calf injury, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Impact Hays was just activated Monday following a three-week absence and evidently is still not feeling 100 percent. He did deliver a pinch-hit double off the bench Wednesday but was then pinch-ran for. It does not sound like Hays going back on the injured list is being considered at this time, but the lingering calf issue could affect how much playing time he sees.

Returns from injured list The Orioles reinstated Hays (calf) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Impact He'll be available off the bench for Monday's series opener versus the Blue Jays as the Orioles go with Colton Cowser, Cedric Mullins and Anthony Santander as their starters in the outfield from left to right. Prior to landing on the shelf April 22 due to a tight calf, Hays had gotten off to a miserable start to the season, slashing .111/.200/.111 across 50 plate appearances. He showed more signs of life during his five-game rehab stint with Double-A Bowie (5-for-14 with two home runs, one double and three walks), but Hays may still have to settle for a fourth-outfielder role initially upon rejoining the big club. Hays should, however, play regularly against left-handed pitching, and he could re-emerge as an option to steal work against right-handed pitching from Cowser and Mullins, both of whom have struggled of late. Cowser is in the midst of a 7-for-50 stretch at the plate over his last 16 games, while Mullins has gone 5-for-50 over the same span and was actually benched against a pair of right-handed starters during this past weekend's series with the Diamondbacks.

Cleared to begin rehab assignment Hays (calf) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Bowie on Tuesday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Impact Hays has been working out with Bowie as he comes back from a left calf strain and is now ready to test things out in game action. With Colton Cowser's production slowing the last couple weeks, Hays could have a chance to regain more reps in left field once he's deemed ready, although they might come just against lefties initially.

Limited progress in recovery Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Monday that Hays (calf) is showing improvement, but the outfielder has yet to take part in much physical activity since landing on the 10-day inju...

Impact Hays is eligible for activation later this week, but he doesn't appear to have made enough progress at this point in his recovery from the left calf strain for his return to be viewed as imminent. Prior to being shelved with the injury, Hays hit just .111 over 45 at-bats on the season and had ceded his spot in the everyday lineup to rookie Colton Cowser.

Orioles put outfielder Austin Hays on injured list and cut Peyton Burdick

Exits with calf tightness Hays was pulled from Saturday's game in Kansas City with calf tightness, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Hays singled and scored in the top of the seventh inning but evidently his calf began bothering at some point on the bases because Colton Cowser replaced him in left field for the bottom of the frame. It sounds at this point like more of a day-to-day injury, but the timing isn't ideal for Hays since he's already been leapfrogged by Cowser on the left field depth chart.

Hopeful of playing Sunday Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Saturday that he's hopeful Hays (shoulder) is fine and can play Sunday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Impact Hays is sore after being hit in the right shoulder by a pitch Saturday, but it sounds like he should be OK. If Hays isn't able to play in Sunday's Grapefruit League finale, he will get in some live at-bats early next week when the O's return to Baltimore.

MARCH 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Showing power in spring Hays has gone 4-for-13 over his first five Grapefruit League games.

Impact Three of those four hits (one home run, two doubles) have gone for extra bases. The Orioles' outfield looks pretty much set assuming Cedric Mullins' hamstring injury isn't too severe. Hays is projected to see a majority of the playing time in left field after slashing .275/.325/.444 with 16 home runs, 67 RBI, 76 runs scored and five stolen bases in 144 contests last season. Hays doesn't really excel in any one area, but he provides decent numbers in most statistics.

Out of Sunday's lineup Hays is not in Sunday's lineup against the Red Sox.

Impact Hays also sat out Saturday against a righty without appearing off the bench, and he's sitting again against righty Tanner Houck in the regular-season finale. Heston Kjerstad will start in left field while Adley Rutschman gets the nod at designated hitter and James McCann starts behind the dish.

OCTOBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting down Saturday Hays isn't in the Orioles' lineup Saturday against the Red Sox.

Impact After going 0-for-7 with two strikeouts through the first two games of the series, Hays will get a breather during the penultimate game of the season. Aaron Hicks will enter as Baltimore's left fielder while batting seventh.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets on base three times Hays went 2-for-3 with a walk, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Nationals.

Impact The steal was Hays' fifth of the season and his first since Aug. 26. The outfielder was atop the lineup versus southpaw Patrick Corbin -- this was the first time he's hit leadoff since Sept. 4. Hays has been steady throughout the season, batting .279 with a .779 OPS, 16 home runs, 67 RBI and 76 runs scored over 142 contests as the Orioles' primary left fielder. He's been a little down in September, hitting .265 with three homers over 25 contests.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out of lineup Hays isn't starting Saturday against the Guardians, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Hays is 0-for-10 with four strikeouts over his last three games, so he'll get a day off to clear his head Saturday. Aaron Hicks will take over in left field and bat sixth while Hays is out.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Clubs pair of homers Hays went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and a solo homer in Tuesday's win over the Astros.

Impact Hays swatted his 15th and 16th long balls of 2023 on Tuesday, tagging Hunter Brown for a three-run shot in the third inning and Jose Urquidy for a solo homer in the seventh. The outfielder has now collected multiple hits in two of his last three games, a span in which he's 5-for-13 (.385) with six RBi and three runs scored.
