Notes: Manager Brandon Hyde mentioned reliever Danny Coulombe stays in Triple-A Norfolk as we speak and goes by way of pregame actions. The membership is evaluating him.

“We're going to make a decision on him,” Hyde mentioned. “We just had him throw to three hitters last night. That was on purpose. Did it in eight pitches.”

Hyde additionally mentioned Ramón Urías and Jordan Westburg will want “at least a couple games” with Norfolk earlier than the Orioles would contemplate reinstating them. Westburg is main off as we speak and taking part in second base, and Urías is batting second and taking part in third base.

“Ramón's missed less time than Westy,” Hyde mentioned. “Westy's in great physical shape. It's really about at-bats with Westy for me. And with Ramón, it's seeing how his ankle recovers, which he's doing great. Whether they come back together or one before the other … I would maybe assume that Ramón might come before Westy, just might not need as many at-bats just because Jordan's missed almost the entire second half. So we'll see how their games go, but they'll be in there the next two nights in Norfolk.”

Hyde is hopeful that Ryan Mountcastle joins Norfolk by the weekend.

“They might have a nice top of the order in Norfolk pretty soon,” Hyde mentioned. “Not that they don't already.”

Corbin Burnes, Cade Povich and Albert Suárez begin the weekend sequence against the Tigers.
