Pitchers
Wei-Yin Chen Downnew_medium Although he tied a season-high with 9 strikeouts, he was also tagged for 5 ER in 6.1 innings.
Scott Feldman Upnew_medium While 3 ER was more than he'd allowed in his past three starts combined, Feldman posted his 5th straight QS.
Kevin Gausman Upnew_medium After getting hit around last week, Gausman recovered with a couple of better innings.
Miguel Gonzalez http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png Left his start early with a minor groin strain.
Jason Hammel http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png Was surprisingly okay (although homer-prone) during his first start in quite some time.
Tommy Hunter http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png Pitching a ton, although not necessarily in the best situations.
Jim Johnson Downnew_medium Sigh.
Steve Johnson http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png DNP.
Brian Matusz http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png Is there a reason he didn't face the lefties against the Yankees instead of Hunter?
T.J. McFarland http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png Faced just 3 batters.
Bud Norris http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png Currently shelved with minor elbow discomfort.
Darren O'Day http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png Out with a hand injury, but expected back this week.
Troy Patton http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png Another lefty specialist who hardly saw any action?
Francisco Rodriguez Downnew_medium Pretty hittable in limited action.
Josh Stinson Upnew_medium A couple of scoreless relief innings.
Chris Tillman Upnew_medium Hard to complain too much about his two starts this week. Although he yielded 4 runs on Saturday, he pitched an efficient 8 innings.
Catchers
Steve Clevenger Upnew_medium Kicked off his O's career with a 2 RBI double.
Chris Snyder http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png DNP
Matt Wieters Downnew_medium Pretty poor week at the plate with just 3 hits.
Infielders
Wilson Betemit http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png 0-1
Alexi Casilla http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png 1-3 with a stolen base

J.J. Hardy Upnew_medium 8 hits this week and 4 were doubles.
Dan Johnson http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png 0-1
Manny Machado Downnew_medium He did have a homer and two doubles, but otherwise put together a sub-.200 week.
Brian Roberts http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png He's good for an occasional single.
Jonathan Schoop http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png DNP
Danny Valencia Upnew_medium Another solid week for Valencia (7 hits in limited PA, 1 homer)
Outfielders
Chris Dickerson http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png 0-1
Adam Jones http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png Three doubles, but just .259 at the plate.
Nick Markakis Upnew_medium Might have been his best week of the season at .364 with a 2B, HR, and 3 walks.
Nate McLouth http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png Currently dealing with a knee injury
Michael Morse Downnew_medium Looking pretty darn bad at the plate.
