Rutschman went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, three RBI and one run scored in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Mariners. Rutschman had missed three games with left hamstring tightness before returning as the designated hitter Thursday. He is batting .393 (11-for-28) over seven contests in June, so getting his bat back in the lineup is big for Baltimore. The catcher is hitting .273 with an .848 OPS, eight home runs, 39 RBI, 26 runs scored, 15 doubles and a triple over 49 games this season.

Orioles Injury Report
Orioles Depth Chart
Rutschman went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, three RBI and one run scored in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Mariners. Rutschman had missed three games with left hamstring tightness before returning as the designated hitter Thursday. He is batting .393 (11-for-28) over seven contests in June, so getting his bat back in the lineup is big for Baltimore. The catcher is hitting .273 with an .848 OPS, eight home runs, 39 RBI, 26 runs scored, 15 doubles and a triple over 49 games this season.
Cowser went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Mariners. Cowser had gone 0-for-10 with two walks and three strikeouts in the first four games of the series. He was able to end the slump with a third-inning blast off Bryan Woo to ignite a six-run inning for the Orioles. Cowser has struggled to hit for average this season, batting .227 with a .708 OPS, seven homers, 23 RBI, 22 runs scored and two stolen bases over 162 plate appearances. He has upped the power lately with all seven of his homers coming since May 17.
Alonso went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Mariners. Alonso has gone deep in consecutive games for the third time this season. Over his last 15 contests, he's hitting .279 (17-for-61) with five long balls and 11 RBI. The first baseman continues to be a steady source of power with 15 homers, 44 RBI, 42 runs scored, 12 doubles and two stolen bases while batting .243 with a .775 OPS over 70 contests this season.
Kittredge threw a scoreless and hitless inning without striking out or walking a batter to earn the save in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Mariners. One runner reached base on an error, but Kittredge was able to settle in and lock it down. He needed just six pitches in total, getting three groundouts. He's been a little spotty this season, allowing at least one run in seven of his 17 appearances, but it's a seven-run meltdown from May 3 versus the Yankees that has skewed his ratios. He's at a 6.75 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 15:4 K:BB with a save, two holds and a blown save across 14.2 innings this season. The right-hander is the fifth pitcher to log a save for Baltimore this season, though Kittredge will likely be limited to a setup role once Ryan Helsley (elbow) comes off the injured list.
Bradish allowed five runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out five over four innings in a no-decision on Thursday. The Orioles built up a 6-1 lead in the third inning, but Bradish gave four runs back in the fourth. That would be his last frame of the game after throwing 85 pitches (52 strikes) in the start. He looked to have turned a corner in late May, but he's allowed 10 runs over eight innings across his two starts in June. Overall, he's at a 4.30 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 73:39 K:BB through 73.1 innings over 14 starts this season. Bradish's next start is projected to be a rematch against the Mariners in Seattle.
Pham is expected to opt out of his minor-league contract with the Orioles, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports. Pham signed a minor-league contract with the Orioles on May 16 and has since slashed just .172/.246/.345 with three homers, nine RBI and 10 runs scored through 65 plate appearances. The 38-year-old outfielder isn't likely to make much of a contribution in the majors at this stage in his career, so he will likely have to settle for another minor-league deal in free agency or consider retirement.
Kremer (quadriceps) threw another live batting practice session Thursday at the Orioles' spring training complex and could be cleared to begin a rehab assignment next, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports. Kremer threw 35 pitches -- which included two "ups" -- and also went through pitchers' fielding practice drills. The veteran hurler has been shelved since late April with a right quad strain but looks to be tracking toward a return around July 1 if he continues at his current progression.
Basallo (wrist) will start at catcher and bat fifth in Thursday's tilt versus the Mariners. Basallo has been out of the lineup for the past three games as he deals with a bony growth in his left wrist, but he had a few plate appearances off the bench during that stretch and is now ready to return to the Orioles' lineup. The 21-year-old has collected a .801 OPS with nine home runs across 199 plate appearances for Baltimore this season.
