Adley Rutschman and Samuel Basallo are in the Orioles lineup tonight to finish the four-game series against the Mariners.

Rutschman is the designated hitter, his first action since Sunday in Toronto. Basallo pinch-hit and caught in the first two games of the series but didn’t play last night.

Rutschman worked out yesterday to test his sore left hamstring and was cleared to return. Basallo has been dealing with some soreness in his left wrist.

Colton Cowser stays in center field, with Leody Taveras in right. Coby Mayo is at third base.

Kyle Bradish has registered a 3.89 ERA and 1.514 WHIP in 13 starts. The Blue Jays slowed his roll last weekend with five runs and nine hits in four innings.

Bradish has allowed six runs in 17 2/3 innings in three career starts against the Mariners. Luke Raley is 4-for-9 with a homer, and Randy Arozarena is 4-for-18 with a triple and two homers.

A win tonight would enable the Orioles to split the series before the Padres come to town.

Right-hander Bryan Woo, who finished fifth in American League Cy Young Award voting last year, has posted a 3.74 ERA and 1.000 WHIP in 13 starts. Four of his outings have been scoreless, and he’s allowed three runs or fewer in nine.

Woo faced the Orioles in June 2025 and allowed four runs in six innings. Rutschman and Gunnar Henderson homered in the sixth.

Taylor Ward is 0-for-13 with five strikeouts against Woo. Leody Taveras is 2-for-11 with a homer.

Starter Nestor German allowed five runs and six hits in 1 2/3 innings.

Pitcher Keeler Morfe underwent right elbow arthroscopy surgery to remove bone spurs yesterday with Dr. Keith Meister in Arlington, Texas. Morfe, who turned 20 this week, made one start with Single-A Delmarva and allowed four runs without recording an out.
