The Orioles may post a third lineup today, with manager Buck Showalter hinting at another change.
Adam Jones moved to designated hitter because of the wet field. The switch forced Breyvic Valera out of the lineup. He’s a healthy scratch.
Chance Sisco isn’t available tonight after suffering a deep gash on his chin yesterday on a foul tip. He’s also under concussion protocol.
Sisco underwent an examination earlier today and he wasn’t in the clubhouse while the media was allowed inside.

The Orioles will consider whether to bring up another catcher. They usually carry three in September.
Showalter didn’t pass along an innings limit on “opener’ Evan Phillips, though he has one in mind. Cody Carroll and Sean Gilmartin also are expected to pitch.
The Orioles still need a starter for Wednesday. Dillon Tate and left-hander John Means threw bullpen sessions today in case one of them is needed.
Tate and Means need to be added to the 40-man roster in order to protect them in the Rule 5 draft.
Andrew Cashner’s knee is feeling much better today.
Showalter has counted eight pitchers that he can’t use, including four who are with the team. So much for the joys of an expanded roster.
Infielder Steve Wilkerson should be available to play Tuesday or Wednesday.
As for the weather forecast, which also could impact Dylan Bundy’s start on Tuesday, Showalter said there’s a “potential window” to play the game.
