The Orioles can\u2019t catch a break.<\/p>\n

Outfielder Dylan Beavers became the 19th player to hit the injured list this season when Baltimore placed him on the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain. The Orioles activated catcher Maverick Handley to fill that roster spot Wednesday during the series finale against the New York Yankees.<\/p>\n

Handley was already in Baltimore as a member of the taxi squad. It\u2019s possible that the Orioles make another roster move ahead of Friday\u2019s series opener against the Washington Nationals to replace Beavers with a like-for-like player.<\/p>\n

Beavers injured his oblique before Tuesday\u2019s game, manager Craig Albernaz said. The 24-year-old was swinging in the cage when he felt discomfort in his side. He was scratched<\/a> from the lineup shortly before Tuesday\u2019s loss.<\/p>\n

With Beavers now on the injured list, the Orioles have 13 players currently on the injured list. <\/p>\n

They\u2019re waiting for a major decision regarding infielder Jordan Westburg, who met with Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Monday to evaluate his elbow. Westburg is dealing with a partially torn UCL<\/a> and is undergoing his options after receiving a PRP injection in February.<\/p>\n

The rash of injuries is a challenge for the Orioles in their quest to find consistency.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t make it any easier, but I think our guys, our next-man-up mentality is real,\u201d manager Craig Albernaz said. <\/p>\n

Albernaz acknowledged that there may be a need for changes behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got to look at things differently, do things differently,\u201d Albernaz said. \u201cWhatever\u2019s been done, we\u2019ve got to try to do whatever and evaluate every aspect to make sure that we\u2019re taking care of our guys and we\u2019re doing the right thing around here. And that\u2019s something I\u2019m challenging the whole staff on. That\u2019s a point of emphasis right now. But, like I said, all our guys getting hurt, it stinks. It sucks. You feel for the guys getting hurt. But also, that gives opportunity to somebody else, and that\u2019s why all of our guys have to be ready.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beavers is hitting .243 this year. Without him in the mix for the foreseeable future, outfielders Tyler O\u2019Neill and Colton Cowser should see an uptick in playing time.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Neill is hitting .183 but Albernaz said the overall quality of his at-bats has improved of late. O\u2019Neill doubled Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started to see him starting to get his timing back in Miami with some at-bats he had, and his pinch-hit at-bats have been great,\u201d Albernaz said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Orioles can\u2019t catch a break.
