The Orioles made a change to their lineup about 10 minutes before first pitch.

Adley Rutschman was scratched due to lower back discomfort. He was supposed to lead off for the third time this season.

Colton Cowser returns to the top spot against Red Sox left-hander Brennan Bernardino, an opener who is expected to be replaced by right-hander Cooper Criswell.

James McCann is batting ninth and catching Corbin Burnes, as he’s done in 10 starts.

Rutschman posted a .132 average in August but he’s batting .300 (12-for-40) this month.

Here’s the new lineup:

Colton Cowser LF
Anthony Santander RF
Gunnar Henderson SS
Ryan Mountcastle 1B
Eloy Jiménez DH
Jackson Holliday 2B
Cedric Mullins CF
Ramón Urías 3B
James McCann C

Corbin Burnes RHP

The MASN broadcasts this weekend include the use of a “Defy Wire Cam,” which can be found in some other ballparks, including in Seattle, Arizona and Colorado.

The idea is to provide some unique shots with the camera moving along cables.
