Aaron Hicks has returned to the Orioles lineup tonight after being scratched yesterday with lower-back soreness. He’s in center field.

Cedric Mullins remains day-to-day with a sore right quadriceps. Manager Brandon Hyde said Mullins is “a lot better” and the club is encouraged by his progress.

Ryan Mountcastle is the designated hitter. Colton Cowser is in left field, with Austin Hays on the bench.

Gunnar Henderson is leading off and playing shortstop.

Ramón Urías is at third base and Adam Frazier is playing second.

Left-hander Cionel Pérez remains on the injured list. He’s in the clubhouse.

Hyde said Pérez is being “gauged.” A decision is pending on activating him.
