Baltimore Orioles

Gunnar Henderson recorded two extra-base hits in Sunday's win for the Baltimore Orioles over the Angels, finishing 2-for-5 with a double and a two-run home run. He scored two runs and drove in two. Henderson's sixth-inning blast padded the Orioles' lead to 7-2.

Fantasy Impact: Henderson has collected four extra-base hits (two home runs) and four RBI over his last three games, and Sunday marked his fourth multi-hit performance in his last eight contests. For the season, through 137 plate appearances, he is slashing .264/.307/.473 with five home runs, nine RBI, 18 runs scored, and an 8:38 BB:K ratio.

Zach Eflin allowed two earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings in Sunday’s victory against the Angels.

Fantasy Impact: Eflin looked great in his first outing since being activated from the IL, only allowing two earned runs and picking up the win. After Sunday's start, Eflin now boasts a 3.00 ERA and 0.94 WHIP with a 4-1 record across five starts this season. He’s slated to face the Nationals on Saturday, a team that ranks 20th in MLB with a .699 OPS against right-handed pitching.

Kyle Gibson allowed five earned runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out four over four innings in Saturday's loss to the Angels.

Fantasy Impact: The right-hander continues to disappoint on the mound, allowing three or more runs in each of his three starts for the Orioles. After yesterday’s performance, Gibson now holds a 13.11 ERA and 2.49 WHIP with an 0-2 record across three starts this season.

Tomoyuki Sugano allowed one earned run on three hits while striking out five over 7.1 innings in Friday's win against the Angels.

Fantasy Impact: After today’s performance, Sugano now holds a 2.54 ERA and 1.01 WHIP with a 4-2 record across eight starts this season. The right-hander has been excellent for the Orioles this season in his first taste of the MLB.

Felix Bautista struck out two batters in a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's win over the Angels.

Fantasy Impact: After today’s game, Bautista now boasts a 1.64 ERA and 1.00 WHIP, with 7 saves across 11 appearances this season. He is perfect in seven save chances as he tightens his grip on the ninth-inning role in Baltimore.

Fantasy Impact: Urias appears to be on track to return for the upcoming series against the Twins as he continues to recover from a right hamstring strain. He was swinging the bat well before the injury, slashing .292/.354/.403. However, Emmanuel Rivera has stepped up in his absence, hitting .462 with two extra-base hits in just 13 at-bats. With Rivera performing at the plate, the Orioles may face a decision on how to balance playing time in the infield.

Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Friday that Jordan Westburg is still dealing with hamstring discomfort and likely won’t begin a rehab assignment until late next week. (Source: Matt Weyrich on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Westburg has been out since April 26 with a left hamstring strain and was initially expected to begin a rehab assignment this weekend, but lingering discomfort has delayed those plans. He appears to be at least a couple of weeks away from returning to the Orioles’ lineup.

Fantasy Impact: After today’s outing, Kremer now holds a 5.24 ERA and 1.28 WHIP with three wins and four losses across eight starts this season. He didn't factor into the decision as the bullpen gave up three runs in the next inning. Fantasy managers will want to view Kremer has a streamer in the right matchups.

Charlie Morton allowed three earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out two over 4 innings in Wednesday's loss to the Twins.

Fantasy Impact: After today’s outing, Morton now has a 9.38 ERA and 2.08 WHIP with an 0-7 record across six starts this season. Morton really made just one critical mistake Wednesday, but it was enough to take the loss. Fantasy managers should continue to avoid Morton.

Cade Povich (1-3) was handed the loss Tuesday against the Twins, after a tough third inning undid an otherwise decent outing. Though Povich started strong, facing the minimum through two frames, a five-run outburst by Minnesota in the third proved decisive, punctuated by a two-run home run from Carlos Correa. Povich would then settle down, retiring the next nine hitters he faced, finishing his six innings having allowed five runs on six hits. The left-hander also struck out four and did not walk a batter, generating 10 swinging strikes over 103 pitches (63 strikes).

Fantasy Impact: Despite the strong finish, Povich couldn't escape the loss, his third of the season. This marks the second time the 25-year-old has surrendered at least five runs in a start. Through 35.2 innings, he carries a 5.55 ERA and a 1.54 WHIP, accompanied by a 29:12 K:BB ratio. He is scheduled to start on the road against the Angels this weekend.
