Impact Basallo hasn't started against a lefty since June 3, though Sunday will only be Baltimore's fifth game against a southpaw during that stretch. The rookie catcher has a .258/.329/.485 slash line with five homers, 15 RBI and six runs in his past 19 contests. Coby Mayo is batting fifth as the designated hitter in Sunday's series finale versus the Reds.

Impact Basallo opened the scoring with a three-run blast off Hunter Greene. It was the 21-year-old's second straight game with a homer, and he's now gone deep four times over his past nine contests. While he still tends to sit against lefties, Basallo is slashing .257/.322/.470 with 14 homers, 42 RBI and 31 runs scored across 276 plate appearances in what has been a strong rookie campaign.

Cracks two-run homer in win Basallo went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Friday's 3-0 win over the Reds.

Impact Friday's series opener was a low-scoring affair, so Basallo's two-run shot off Brady Singer in the fifth inning was a crucial one for the Orioles, who entered the game having lost four straight. It was the 13th home run of the season for Basallo, which is tied with Carter Jansen for fourth-most among rookies this season. Basallo has gone 13-for-51 (.255) with three home runs and 10 RBI over his last 15 games.

Idle against lefty Basallo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Orioles have been giving the left-handed-hitting Basallo more exposure to same-handed pitching in recent weeks, but he'll hit the bench Wednesday while southpaw Noah Schultz starts for the White Sox. With Basallo taking a seat, Adley Rutschman will handle catching duties and Pete Alonso will serve as the Orioles' designated hitter.

Posts first career multi-homer game Basallo went 2-for-5 with a pair of two-run home runs in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Angels.

Impact It was the first career multi-homer game by Basallo, who simultaneously matched a career high in RBI on Wednesday. The 21-year-old backstop occasionally sits versus southpaws -- he's posted a .505 OPS over 54 at-bats against left-handers -- but he's mashed right-handed pitching to the tune of an .868 OPS across 172 at-bats this year. Through 249 plate appearances overall, Basallo is slashing .257/.317/.465 with 12 homers, nine doubles, 35 RBI and 29 runs scored.
