Orioles and Padres lineups for second game of series (updated)

SAN DIEGO – Jeremiah Jackson is in right field again tonight and Dylan Beavers is in left, as the Orioles try to clinch their series against the Padres following last night’s 4-3 win.

Beavers has reached base safely 25 times to begin his career, tied with Glenn Gulliver (1982) for second most in franchise history through the first 15 games behind Curtis Goodwin’s 26 in 1995.

Ryan Mountcastle is the designated hitter and cleanup hitter. Coby Mayo is starting at first base and batting ninth.

Emmanuel Rivera gets another start at third base. Samuel Basallo is catching Tyler Wells.

Jorge Mateo is on the roster and the bench. He wasn’t in the clubhouse during media access.

The Orioles reinstated Mateo from the 60-day injured list this afternoon after considering the weekend series against the Dodgers.

“Just kind of going through yesterday’s game and kind of how he was feeling,” said interim manager Tony Mansolino. “We were kind of letting our player drive his rehab in a lot of ways. We need to get input from these guys and as he kind of indicated that he’s feeling good and he’s ready to go, then we we’ll get him out there and get him in there at some point.”

The plan is to play Mateo in the infield and outfield.

“We’ve got a lot of young players that we want to see here right now that are playing well,” Mansolino said. “We’ll try to fit Jorgie in there where we can. He’s played third, short, center, left on his rehab assignment, all by design, to give him different opportunities to play for us once he gets here.”

Wells will be the 67th player used this season, three short of the major league record set by the Marlins last year.
