Gates will open to fans at noon. Before that occurs, though, Baltimore needs to find a way to get healthy.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"text-container\">Left-hander Grant Wolfram became the 18th player to land on the injured list this season when his low back strain prompted a 15-day injured list stint. And shortly before first pitch, the Orioles scratched outfielder Dylan Beavers from the lineup because of right oblique discomfort.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"text-container\">Right-hander Tyler Wells was recalled to fill Wolfram\u2019s roster spot and Colton Cowser entered the lineup to play center field instead of Beavers.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"text-container\">Twelve players are currently on the injured list. Baltimore seems to have avoided an issue with catcher Samuel Basallo, who returned to the lineup Tuesday after he was was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebanner.com\/sports\/orioles-mlb\/samuel-basallo-scratched-from-lineup-with-knee-discomfort-stemming-from-collision-at-plate-PLYPZPW3ZVGGFGKGOABCXB7G6A\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.thebanner.com\/sports\/orioles-mlb\/samuel-basallo-scratched-from-lineup-with-knee-discomfort-stemming-from-collision-at-plate-PLYPZPW3ZVGGFGKGOABCXB7G6A\/\">scratched<\/a> before Monday\u2019s game with knee discomfort.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"text-container\">The Orioles still have three left-handers in the bullpen because Josh Walker was added this week. Losing Wolfram for any period of time isn\u2019t ideal, however. He holds a 4.85 ERA in 13 innings with 20 strikeouts and one walk. His injured list placement is retroactive to May 9.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"text-container\">Wells\u2019 return provides versatility and length. He was optioned early this month due to a roster crunch, but when in the majors, he has done well. Wells has a 3.44 ERA in 18 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"text-container\">The late scratch of Beavers carries its own questions. There wasn\u2019t a moment in recent games that sticks out as a cause for Beavers\u2019 oblique discomfort, but in general, the oblique can be a difficult injury for players to deal with. Beavers is hitting .243 this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There\u2019s never a dull moment with the Orioles, and the flurry of pregame news continued with two injury&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":697354,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2374],"tags":[143,39604,47,2538,5,1404,4,12212,23849,125],"class_list":["post-697353","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-baltimore-orioles","tag-baltimore","tag-baltimore-city","tag-baltimore-orioles","tag-baltimoreorioles","tag-baseball","tag-camden-yards","tag-mlb","tag-os","tag-opacy","tag-orioles"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116564082256281546","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/697353","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=697353"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/697353\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/697354"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=697353"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=697353"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=697353"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
