The 96.6 mph fastball that slammed into catcher Samuel Basallo\u2019s right wrist last night in the ninth inning didn\u2019t cause a fracture and might not keep the rookie from playing this weekend in New York.<\/p>\n
Basallo had the wrist wrapped this morning after being hit by Rays reliever Pete Fairbanks and leaving the game in obvious pain.<\/p>\n
\u201cI tried to react but I didn\u2019t have enough time to do so,\u201d he said via interpreter Brandon Quinones. \u201cHand’s feeling much better today. Couldn\u2019t really feel it yesterday. Thankfully today I\u2019m feeling better.\u201d<\/p>\n
Asked about appearing in the final series, Basallo said, \u201cYes, I think it\u2019s going to be something day-to-day right now. They\u2019re giving me a day to see how I feel and hopefully I\u2019ll be ready to go tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI think he\u2019ll be in there tomorrow,\u201d said interim manager Tony Mansolino.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe grabbed a bat this morning, took some swings. I think its another one of those scenarios where if this is a must win I could see him probably playing today, but it\u2019s probably wise to give him a blow.\u201d<\/p>\n
Second baseman Jackson Holliday remains out of the lineup with knee soreness and he underwent an MRI earlier today.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m hopeful he\u2019s in there tomorrow,\u201d Mansolino said. \u201cI know he told me this morning that he felt better. That\u2019s always a good sign. But we\u2019ll see kind of what it looks like the next couple days, once we have a better idea what the results are.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mansolino didn\u2019t recall which knee.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s got two of them, though.\u201d<\/p>\n
Albert Su\u00e1rez is shut down for the rest of the season with elbow soreness and is waiting to be examined again. The inflammation must go down before he can get another MRI and keep an appointment with Dr. Keith Meister on Oct. 7.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll see what he sees on the MRI and then go from there,\u201d Su\u00e1rez said.<\/p>\n
Su\u00e1rez missed about five months with a shoulder injury, pitched four times and came down with elbow discomfort.<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean, it\u2019s hard not to be healthy, but mentally I\u2019m good,\u201d he said. \u201cI just need to make sure I heal and get ready.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Orioles are starting Trevor Rogers, Tomoyuki Sugano and Kyle Bradish at Yankee Stadium to close out the season.<\/p>\n
Mansolino isn\u2019t treating the last three games as a way to get some guys on the field and coast to a finish. He won\u2019t script pitching. It still matters, and not just for the Yankees.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re gonna try to win,\u201d Mansolino said. \u201cThere might be a scenario where we jam somebody in there, but we\u2019re trying to win those games without a doubt. We\u2019ll do the best we can out of respect to the rest of the industry and the other teams.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think that we mess around with that. I think we do the best we can and kind of let the chips fall where they may.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 96.6 mph fastball that slammed into catcher Samuel Basallo\u2019s right wrist last night in the ninth inning…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":305595,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2374],"tags":[1080,143,47,2538,5,1514,4,62,125,579,578,7326,68,49746],"class_list":{"0":"post-342196","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-baltimore-orioles","8":"tag-albert-suarez","9":"tag-baltimore","10":"tag-baltimore-orioles","11":"tag-baltimoreorioles","12":"tag-baseball","13":"tag-jackson-holliday","14":"tag-mlb","15":"tag-new-york-yankees","16":"tag-orioles","17":"tag-orioles-featured","18":"tag-roch-kubatko","19":"tag-samuel-basallo","20":"tag-tampa-bay-rays","21":"tag-tony-manolino"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/115268758129888166","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/342196","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=342196"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/342196\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/305595"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=342196"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=342196"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=342196"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
