Hits RBI double Sisco went 2-for-4 with an RBI double in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Athletics.
Impact Sisco got the start at catcher with Pedro Severino at designated hitter Saturday. The 26-year-old Sisco put up his first multi-hit game of the year, and he knocked in Severino with an RBI double in the second inning to get the Orioles on the board. Sisco has gone just 4-for-28 (.185) with two RBI and a run scored in nine games this season.

Slow start to season Sisco is slashing just .150/.150/.150 across 20 plate appearances in 2021.
Impact Sisco has only played in seven of the Orioles' 16 games so far. He's provided one RBI, one run scored, three singles and 10 strikeouts. As the primary backup to Pedro Severino at catcher, Sisco shouldn't be expected to get a lot of playing time.

Makes Opening Day roster Sisco will be included on the Orioles' Opening Day roster, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.
Impact Just like the past two seasons, Sisco is expected to serve as the top backup to No. 1 catcher Pedro Severino in 2021. Sisco boasts a decent amount of pop and has shown the ability to draw walks at high rates throughout his time in the big leagues, but his poor defense will likely make it tough for him to leapfrog Severino on the depth chart.

Resting in series finale Sisco is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact The Orioles wanted to give everyday shortstop Jose Iglesias some time out of the field for the day game after a night game, so he'll occupy the designated-hitter spot and bump SIsco to the bench as a result. With an .877 OPS over 78 plate appearances this season, the lefty-hitting Sisco looks primed to continue receiving at least semi-regular starts against right-handed pitching.

On bench Sunday Sisco is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.
Impact Sisco has been handling a near-everyday role of late, starting in four of the Orioles' last five games as either a catcher or designated hitter. The Orioles wanted to give shortstop Jose Iglesias a day out of the field in the series finale, leaving no room at DH for Sisco, who will also cede the start behind the dish to top backstop Pedro Severino.

Sitting Friday Sisco is not in Friday's lineup against the Blue Jays.

Hits late-game home run Sisco went 1-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and a run scored Friday but the Orioles still fell to the Red Sox by a score of 8-5.
Impact Sisco hit a three-run blast in the eighth to give the Orioles some life but ultimately it wasn't enough. The 25-year-old backstop has now homered in two of his last three games while racking up five RBI in the process. His playing time moving forward looks a bit murky with the recent addition of Ryan Mountcastle but he should still get the occasional start at catcher or designated hitter while mostly occupying a backup role.

Not starting Thursday Sisco isn't starting Thursday against the Red Sox.
Impact Sisco has seen a fair amount of playing time between the catcher and designated hitter roles this season, but he'll get a day off for the series opener against the Red Sox. Dwight Smith will rest his legs as the designated hitter with Pat Valaika starting in left field.
