Jake Arrieta |
Equally unimpressive in his first action since early July as he was before he was sent down to AAA in the first place. |

|
Luis Ayala |
Saw some action in two games, both losses. Was nothing special in either game. |

|
Kevin Gregg |
Still bad at pitching. |

|
Tommy Hunter |
He was actually pretty solid in relief. |

|
Jim Johnson |
A bit rocky, but got the job done. |

|
Steve Johnson |
Some solid relief innings. Totally possible he gets a start this week if the O's plan to give Chen extra rest. |

|
Brian Matusz |
Not really sure what to say here. |

|
Darren O'Day |
He's been really good lately. Really good. |

|
Zach Phillips |
Here to provide depth, but lining up alongside Kevin Gregg in mop-up duty. |

|
Pedro Strop |
Not stropping opposing hitters dead in their tracks like he was earlier in the season. Here's hoping he gets that figured out. |

|
Chris Tillman |
DNP |

|
Randy Wolf |
Better than than his final line suggests. He had at least two strikeouts that weren't..... |
Lineup |
|
|

|
Robert Andino |
The good news is that two of his three hits this week were homers. The bad news is that he only had three hits in 20 ABs. Solid defensively. |

|
Xavier Avery |
Saw one AB yesterday. Bound to get some more opportunities with Nicky out for the remainder of the regular season. |

|
Wilson Betemit |
Also in line to get some more opportunities with Nicky out. Serviceable DH depending on who is pitching.... |

|
Chris Davis |
Average at the plate, but did hit his 24th homer of the year and walked twice. Will get some outfield reps. |

|
Ryan Flaherty
|
One AB. |

|
Lew Ford |
Only played in two games but was pretty huge in the one full game he did play. |

|
J.J. Hardy |
He's been surprisingly good at the plate lately. |

|
Adam Jones |
Eleven for 28 in the last seven days with 3 homers and 2 doubles. Solid! |

|
Manny Machado |
Hit for the cycle this week with a solid 8 for 28 at the plate. |

|
Nick Markakis |
If ever there was time for the red cross, it's now. Hitting extremely well atop a lineup about to see its first meaningful action in years and he breaks a thumb. You'll be missed, Nicky.
|

|
Nate McLouth |
Hit 8 for 22 this week. Needs to step up big with Markakis shelved and will certainly see his opportunities.
|

|
Omar Quintanilla |
Still anonymous. |

|
Mark Reynolds |
Five of his 7 hits this week were homers.
|

|
Taylor Teagarden |
Going to see limited action with the O's chasing a playoff spot.
|

|
Steve Tolleson |
Sorta surprising to see him as the DH in yesterday's game.
|

|
Matt Wieters |
Not the best week for Wieters. O's really need his bat to come around here.
