After a brief illness sidelined him since April 25, left-hander Trevor Rogers is back on the mound for the Orioles tonight, ready to help the team clinch a series win over their division rivals, the New York Yankees. Rogers' last start was cut short at just 1.2 innings, where he allowed four hits and three runs, but he's reportedly feeling 100% now—and with the O's pitching staff needing all the help they can get, his return couldn't come at a better time.

There's more good news for Baltimore: rookie sensation Samuel Basallo is back in the lineup after being scratched Monday night due to knee discomfort. Basallo has quickly become one of the team's most important hitters, so avoiding a lengthy injury is a huge boost. He'll serve as the designated hitter tonight, while Adley Rutschman handles the catching duties once again.

Coby Mayo keeps his spot in the order after delivering the game-winning three-run homer in Monday's series opener. Manager Craig Albernaz is working hard to find consistent production from his lineup, and Mayo's recent 3-for-11 stretch over the last four games is a bright spot in a back half of the order that has been struggling to find its rhythm.

In the outfield, Dylan Beavers gets the start in center field, giving Leody Taveras a breather. It's Beavers' first start at the position since April 26, and while Colton Cowser is the better defender, his bat has been cold lately. Beavers has been putting together some quality at-bats, and the lineup needs all the offensive spark it can get.

Meanwhile, the Yankees made a roster move today, placing José Caballero on the IL and calling up Anthony Volpe from Triple-A. Caballero was thrown out trying to steal second for the final out of Monday's game, but the move seems precautionary—he had been nursing a finger injury. Volpe isn't in the starting lineup tonight but could make his return to the big league squad at any moment, adding another layer of intrigue to this already heated matchup.
