Freddy Galvis - Nearing rehab assignment Galvis (quadriceps) is expected to begin a minor-league rehab assignment within the next few days and is tracking toward an early August return from the 10-day injured list, Roch K...

Impact Baltimore has yet to formally outline a rehab schedule for Galvis, but he'll presumably report to Triple-A Norfolk and play a few games with the affiliated before being activated. While Galvis has been sidelined since late June with the right quad strain, Ramon Urias has taken over as Baltimore's everyday shortstop.

Ryan McKenna - Records first home run McKenna went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, two RBI and a strikeout in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Orioles.

Impact McKenna's home run in the fourth inning was the Orioles' third of the game, and it marked the first time the 24-year-old has gone yard in 2021. He's now made three consecutive starts since he was called back up Wednesday, and but he's gone just 2-for-10 across those appearances.

Maikel Franco - Swats 10th homer Franco went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and two runs in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Nationals.

Impact Franco had gone 0-for-5 with an RBI in his first two games since he was reinstated from the injured list, but he recorded his 10th home run of the season in the second inning Sunday. Since the start of June, the 28-year-old has hit .257 with five home runs, 18 RBI and 14 runs across 30 games.

Trey Mancini - Homers again Sunday Mancini went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a strikeout in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Nationals.

Impact Mancini homered in the first inning of Saturday's game against Washington, and he replicated the feat against starter Paolo Espino on Sunday. The 29-year-old is riding an eight-game hitting streak, and he's recorded multi-hit performances in five of those contests. During that time, he's gone 9-for-35 with two homers, a triple, two doubles, eight runs and three RBI.

Cole Sulser - Picks up win Sulser (3-2) tossed a perfect third of an inning to earn the win over the Nationals on Sunday.

Impact Sulser entered Sunday's game with runners on first and second in the top of the ninth inning. The right-hander was able to record the final out of the inning to keep the deficit at one run, and he earned his third win of the year when the Orioles came back in the bottom half of the frame. Sulser hasn't allowed a run in 3.2 innings across his last five appearances, and he should continue to see high-leverage opportunities.

John Means - Allows four runs Sunday Means allowed four runs on five hits and one walk while striking out two in 6.2 innings in Sunday's win over the Nationals. He didn't factor into the decision.

Impact Means loaded the bases in the first inning but only allowed one run during the frame, and he bounced back with four straight scoreless innings. However, he allowed a three-run homer with two outs in the sixth inning that put him in line for the loss. The southpaw was able to settle for a no-decision since the Orioles came back in the bottom of the ninth inning, but he's now given up nine runs in 11.2 innings across his two starts since he returned from the injured list. Means tentatively lines up to make his next start on the road against Detroit on Saturday.

Austin Hays - Takes seat Sunday Hays is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Impact Hays will cede his spot in the outfield to Ryan McKenna in the series finale. The 26-year-old had started in each of Baltimore's last six games, going 8-for-27 with five doubles, six runs and four RBI.

Adam Plutko - Allows two runs Saturday Plutko allowed two runs on two hits in one inning during Saturday's 5-3 win over Washington.

Impact The right-hander made just his second appearance since the All-Star break, so he may have been a bit rusty. Plutko allowed a solo home run to Juan Soto in the seventh inning and he was also charged with one of two runs that scored on a Trea Turner single in the eighth allowed by Tanner Scott. Through 49 innings, Plutko has a 4.96 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 39:22 K:BB while allowing 11 homers in 33 appearances. He's often tasked with covering multiple low-leverage innings.

Ramón Urías - Takes seat Sunday Urias is not in the lineup Sunday against the Nationals.

Impact Urias started the past 20 games after Freddy Galvis landed on the injured list in late June, and he'll receive a well-deserved day off Sunday. Urias has performed well as the fill-in shortstop, hitting .299/.349/.416 with two homers, 12 RBI and eight runs. Pat Valaika will shift to shortstop while Domingo Leyba starts at the keystone.

Ryan Mountcastle - Mashes 16th homer Mountcastle went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a solo home run in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Nationals.

Impact His fourth-inning blast off Jon Lester gave the O's a 2-0 lead. Mountcastle is only hitting .214 (6-for-28) since the All-Star break, but four of the hits have gone for extra bases (two doubles, two homers) and he's driven in seven. On the season, the 24-year-old is slashing .252/.300/.452 with 16 home runs and 55 RBI through 91 games.

Trey Mancini - Slugs 17th homer Mancini went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Nationals.

Impact The 29-year-old took Jon Lester deep in the first inning, his first homer since the All-Star break. The blast did extend Mancini's hitting streak to seven games though, and he's batting .379 (11-for-29) over that stretch. The surge has boosted his slash line on the season to .263/.335/.468 with 17 homers and 58 RBI through 94 contests.

Dillon Tate - Collects second save Tate gave up a hit and struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning Saturday to record his second save of the season in a 5-3 win over the Nationals.

Impact The 27-year-old has been getting more high-leverage work lately, and he's responded with a modest six-appearance scoreless streak during which Tate has posted a 0.40 WHIP and 6:0 K:BB over five innings with one hold in addition to Saturday's save. It's unlikely O's manager Brandon Hyde is going to change his committee approach to the closer role any time soon, but Tate's stuff is as good as anyone in the Baltimore bullpen, and he could emerge as a trusted ninth-inning option for the team.

Matt Harvey - Blanks Nats for fifth win Harvey (5-10) picked up the win in Saturday's 5-3 victory over the Nationals, allowing only one hit over six scoreless innings. He struck out four without walking a batter.

Impact The right-hander has come out firing since the All-Star break, reeling off 12 straight shutout frames over two starts. However, it's a testament to how bad Harvey's been this year that the hot streak has only lowered his ERA to 6.65, and his 6:1 K:BB over those two outings suggests he's been more lucky than dominant.
