Hitting bench for series finale Basallo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Per Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun, manager Craig Albernaz said Monday that Basallo had "earned the right" to face left-handed pitchers, but the Orioles will nonetheless keep the 21-year-old on the bench Wednesday for a matchup with southpaw Max Fried. The decision to hold Basallo out may have less to do with the matchup than the fact that the youngster recently overcame a minor left knee issue. After being scratched from the lineup Monday, Basallo returned to the starting nine for Tuesday's 6-2 loss as the Orioles' designated hitter and went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run.

Expected to avoid IL stint Manager Craig Albernaz stated after Monday's win over the Yankees that Basallo (knee) is fine, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Basallo was a late scratch from Monday's lineup due to left knee discomfort. However, it seems he's managed to avoid a significant injury. Assuming all goes according to plan, Basallo should be back in the starting lineup within the next day or so.

Scratched with knee injury Basallo was scratched from Monday's lineup against the Yankees due to left knee discomfort, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.

Impact Basallo picked up the injury from a collision at home plate during the seventh inning of Sunday's game against the Athletics, per Jake Rill of MLB.com. The Orioles should have an update on the 21-year-old's status once he undergoes more tests on his left knee. Coby Mayo will serve as Baltimore's designated hitter and bat sixth in Monday's series opener.

Resting for early game Basallo is out of the lineup for the first game of the Orioles' doubleheader with the Astros.

Impact Adley Rutschman will handle catching duties for the first game of the twin bill, but Basallo will presumably draw the start behind the plate for the nightcap. After producing four extra-base hits (two home runs, two doubles) over his last four games, Basallo has raised his season OPS nearly 200 points.
