Placed on 10-day IL The Orioles announced Saturday that they put Hays on the 10-day injured list with a non-displaced rib fracture and have recalled Cedric Mullins from their alternate training site a...

Impact It is unclear if this is an injury that Hays has been dealing with for a certain period of time or if it something that has recently developed as he was in the starting lineup for the Orioles on Friday. There is currently no timetable for his return as a clearer update on the injury has yet to be made by anyone on the Orioles staff.

Ruiz, Sisco, Santander go deep in Orioles' win over Phillies

Rio Ruiz, Chance Sisco and Anthony Santander all homered to lead the Baltimore Orioles to a 5-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday night

AUGUST 13, 2020 • Associated Press

Records first homer Hays went 2-for-5 with an inside-the-park home run and two RBI on Tuesday against the Phillies.

Impact Hays came through with the decisive hit of the contest, after he smoked a line drive that center fielder Roman Quinn misplayed. That allowed Hays to score on an inside-the-park home run, his first homer of the season. Hays has gotten near-everyday playing time, but has struggled to make much of it by posting a .214/.286/.268 line in 63 plate appearances.

Surprising first-place Marlins stay hot, sweep Orioles

Five pitchers combined on a four-hitter for the undermanned, gritty and first-place Miami Marlins, who beat the Baltimore Orioles 2-1 Wednesday night for a doubleheader sweep

Gets no help Tuesday Hays went 2-for-3 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Marlins.

Impact The O's only managed three hits in total on the night, so Hays' production went for naught. The 25-year-old outfielder is off to a sluggish start to 2020, hitting .152 (5-for-33) through nine games, and while he's still looking for his first extra-base hit, his two stolen bases have salvaged some fantasy value.

Gets first day off of season Hays is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

Impact Hays will take a seat for the first time this season after serving as the Orioles' starting center fielder and leadoff man through the club's first eight games, going 3-for-28 (.107 average) with three runs, an RBI and a stolen base. Second baseman Hanser Alberto will ascend to the top of the order in the series finale in Hays' stead, while Cedric Mullins picks up a start in center field.

Expected to be fine Hays (knee) is expected to be fine after being hit by a pitch in Sunday's exhibition game, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Hays is a little sore after Sunday's contest and may not play in Monday's exhibition game, but the issue isn't believed to be serious. The 25-year-old was already scheduled to leave the game after his at-bat when he was hit, and the team isn't concerned about his status going forward.

Leaves game after HBP Hays left Sunday's exhibition game against the Phillies after being hit in the left knee by a pitch, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Impact Hays received three at-bats during Sunday's game and could have been on track to exit the game anyway. However, he was replaced by a pinch runner in the exhibition game after his at-bat. Hays was able to head to the clubhouse carrying his personal effects, which signals that the issue may not be serious. Whether the 25-year-old will miss any additional time remains to be seen.
