    • Contreras (forearm) expects to return before July
      Willson Contreras told reporters that he expects to return from his forearm injury before July.

      Advice: When asked if he could return as a designated hitter instead of a backstop, Contreras answered with a convincing “hell no.” The backstop did say a return against Chicago next week seemed a little fast ,but he does appear like he’ll beat his All-Star game timeline. Contreras wouldn’t offer a progression update, but everything here points to a return at some point in late June. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:48 pm
       
    • Willson Contreras continues making rapid progress
      Willson Contreras (forearm) progressed to throwing and catching on Thursday at Busch Stadium.

      Advice: Contreras is making rapid progress in his recovery from surgery to repair a fractured left forearm and there’s optimism that he’ll be ready to return earlier than originally anticipated. The 32-year-old backstop wasn’t expected back until sometime around the All-Star break, but it’s looking like he could return before the end of the month, barring any setbacks. There should be some clarity on his timeline once he undergoes a CT scan on Friday to determine whether he’ll be cleared to resume hitting. Rotoworld Thursday, 3:15 pm
       
    • Homers twice in loss
      Rutschman went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and three total RBI in Thursday's 6-5 loss to the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Rutschman was responsible for the Orioles' first three runs Thursday, launching a solo shot off Yusei Kikuchi in the sixth inning before adding a two-run homer off Zach Pop in the eighth. Rutschman came into the day with just one home run in his previous 17 contests, though he's now hit safely in 10 straight games, going 15-for-42 (.357) in that span. The 26-year-old backstop is slashing .307/.345/.490 through 258 plate appearances this season with 12 homers, 43 RBI and 34 runs scored. Rotowire.com Thursday, 2:52 pm
       
    • Doing field work
      Contreras (forearm) was throwing, catching and running on the field prior to Thursday's game against the Rockies, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Contreras has been participating in all three activities since the Cardinals' last stretch of road games. It's an encouraging sign that the 32-year-old backstop is recovering well from his fractured left forearm, but he still is not expected back until closer to the All-Star break. Until then, Ivan Herrera will continue to serve as St. Louis' primary catcher. Rotowire.com Thursday, 2:38 pm
       
    • Adley Rutschman homers twice in loss to Blue Jays
      Adley Rutschman homered twice while driving in three runs during a 6-5 loss for the Orioles to the Blue Jays on Thursday.

      Advice: Rutschman was responsible for the only run the Orioles scored off Yusei Kikuchi with a solo blast, and he swatted a two-run blast off Zack Pop in the eighth. The 26-year-old backstop has gone deep 12 times in 2024 while plating 43 runs over 241 at-bats. Rotoworld Thursday, 12:37 pm
       
    • Rutschman doubles, drives in two vs. Jays
      Adley Rutschman went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday’s win over the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Rutschman drove in the Orioles’ first run of the night in the third inning on an RBI single to plate Colton Cowser and later doubled to drive in Gunnar Henderson in the fifth inning. Rutschman continues to hit at a high rate and now has an eight-game hit streak that includes seven RBI over that span. Rotoworld Tuesday, 6:56 pm
       
    • Logs three hits in loss
      Rutschman went 3-for-5 with one RBI in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rays.

      Advice: Rutschman had a brief cold spell a couple of weeks ago, but he's bounced back well. He's hit safely in six straight games, going 9-for-25 (.360) in that span. The catcher is slashing .304/.342/.473 with 10 home runs, 38 RBI, 30 runs scored and one stolen base over 54 contests this season. He was given more regular rest in late May, which may help him stay fresher as the Orioles enter a busy stretch of their schedule. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:51 pm
       
    • Adley Rutschman not in Orioles lineup Wednesday
      Adley Rutschman is not in the Orioles’ starting lineup for Wednesday’s matchup against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Even the best backstops occasionally need a day off. James McCann will start behind the dish and catch Corbin Burnes on Wednesday evening in Baltimore while Ryan O’Hearn serves as the O’s designated hitter against Kutter Crawford and the Red Sox. Rotoworld Wednesday, 1:38 pm
       
    • Rare day off Wednesday
      Rutschman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Rutschman often starts at designated hitter on days he doesn't catch, but he'll be given a true day off Wednesday, barring a pinch-hitting appearance. It's just the fourth day off this season for the 26-year-old. James McCann will pick up the start at catcher. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 12:38 pm
