The Orioles have their No. 1 starter back in the rotation.
Left-hander Trevor Rogers was reinstated from the 15-day injured list and he’s facing the Yankees tonight at Camden Yards.
Rogers hasn’t pitched since April 25 because of the flu. He’s registered a 4.75 ERA and 1.451 WHIP in six starts.
Reliever Jose Espada was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk to make room for Rogers, who owns a 4.60 ERA in four career starts against the Yankees.
Rogers shut out the Yankees on one hit over six innings on Sept. 19 at Camden Yards, but he allowed six runs in three innings in the Bronx in the Sept. 26 rematch.
Paul Goldschmidt is 1-for-10 against Rogers. Aaron Judge is 1-for-8 with a home run. Ryan McMahon is 2-for-4 with a double and triple.
Espada was recalled two days ago. He joined the team earlier as the 27th man in a doubleheader.
Lineups will be posted later this afternoon.
Taylor Ward figures to stay in it, whether as the left fielder or designated hitter. We’ll find out whether Samuel Basallo remains out with a sore left knee or is able to play.
Per STATS: Ward has a .244 average and 18.4 percent chase rate with two strikes this season. The major league average with two strikes is a .167 average and 43.1 percent chase rate.
Yankees right-hander Will Warren faced the Orioles on May 1 and allowed one earned runs (two total) and three hits with nine strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings. He’s posted a 3.46 ERA in eight starts this season, with 53 strikeouts in 41 2/3 innings.
Gunnar Henderson is 3-for-10 with a double against Warren. Colton Cowser is 3-for-7 with three doubles.
