Trevor Rogers is healthy, and ready to roll. He will head to hill as the O’s look to clinch a series win over the visiting Yankees.

The lefty hit the IL with an illness that coincided with his shortest start of the year a few weeks back (1.
2 IP, four hits, three runs, two walks, two strikeouts). Hopefully he is 100% now because the O’s could use the pitching help. More good news: Samuel Basallo is in the lineup after being scratched on Monday night due to knee discomfort.
The rookie might be the team’s most important hitter , so avoiding a lengthy injury is a big boost. He will DH while Adley Rutschman handles the catching duties once again. Coby Mayo keeps his place in the order after smacking the winning three-run homer in the series opener.
Craig Albernaz is trying anything he can to find consistent offense from his lineup. Mayo going 3-for-11 over his last four games is about as good as it gets for the back half of the order, which has been scuffling. Dylan Beavers is your centerfielder, giving Leody Taveras a breather.
