Homers in loss Chirinos went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss against the Red Sox.

Impact The backup catcher provided the only offense for Baltimore on Wednesday as the team was stifled by Rich Hill and the Boston bullpen. Chirinos' solo shot in the eighth inning was his fourth of the season and first since Aug 3. The 38-year-old still figures to play second fiddle to Adley Rutchsman the rest of the way.

Emerges from slump Chirinos went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.

Impact Chirinos appeared in just eight games in July, going 2-for-22 with 10 strikeouts for the month. He's already off to a better start in August with a three-hit performance and his first homer since May 28. The backup catcher is slashing .168/.256/.282 with three long balls, 17 RBI, eight runs scored, a stolen base and eight doubles in 169 plate appearances this year. Even with a good stretch of hitting, Chirinos is unlikely to vulture away much of Adley Rutschman's playing time.

Not pushing for more time Chirinos is batting .206 (7-for-34) since the start of June.

Impact Chirinos has a couple of multi-hit games last month, but he's been held without a hit in seven of his last 11 contests. He won't get many chances to get in a rhythm, since Adley Rutschman commands a large share of the playing time behind the dish. Chirinos has posted a .159/.262/.270 slash line with two home runs, 15 RBI, seven runs scored and a stolen base in 43 contests, and he's likely to be limited to just two or three starts a week at most.

Swipes bag, cashes in four Chirinos went 3-for-4 with four RBI and a steal in a 7-6 loss to the Rays on Saturday.

Impact Chirinos had his best game of the year, racking up more RBI in four at-bats than he did in the entire month of April. The veteran catcher hit two doubles, a single and even stole his first base of the season. Chirinos remains firmly entrenched as the backup to star rookie Adley Rutschman.

JUNE 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

On base twice Saturday Chirinos went 1-for-3 with a walk in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Royals.

Impact Chirinos entered Saturday 0-for-12 with two walks in his last four games. He's seen a reduction in playing time as the Orioles have committed to letting Adley Rutschman get plenty of starts behind the dish. With a .135/.242/.231 slash line, two home runs, 10 RBI and six runs scored in 36 contests, Chirinos is probably better suited to a backup role anyway, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to start more than a couple of times per week.

JUNE 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Two-run homer in loss Chirinos went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's loss to the Red Sox.

Impact Chirinos took Nathan Eovaldi deep in the fifth inning for a two-run shot, scoring teammate Ramon Urias. The long ball was his second of the year, both of which have come in his last five contests. Chirinos is now the clear backup option at catcher behind Adley Rutschman, making him an unappealing fantasy option regardless of his recent power at the plate.

MAY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Slated for backup role Chirinos is in line to serve as the Orioles' No. 2 catcher after Adley Rutschman's contract was selected Saturday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Chirinos served as the Orioles' top catcher to begin the season, but he hit just .139 with a home run, six RBI and four runs over 28 games. The 37-year-old will remain on the active roster following Rutschman's promotion, while Anthony Bemboom was designated for assignment. However, Rutschman should see plenty of playing time right off the bat, so Chirinos is in line for a clear backup role.

MAY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Goes yard in win Chirinos went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and two strikeouts in Thursday's 9-6 win over the Yankees.

Impact This was just the catcher's fourth hit in 11 games in May, but it erased an early two-run deficit in the second inning. Chirinos is now slashing .147/.264/.227 with a homer, six RBI, three runs scored and three doubles through 87 plate appearances. He's still the Orioles' top catcher, at least until Adley Rutschman gets the call to the big leagues.

MAY 19, 2022 • Associated Press

Sits again Wednesday Chirinos is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Chirinos will sit for the second day in a row while Anthony Bemboom gets another turn behind the plate. The two backstops are expected to continue to split time in relatively equitable fashion until the Orioles are willing to promote catching prospect Adley Rutschman from Triple-A Norfolk.
