Samuel Basallo Out Against Blue Jays With Abdomen Injury
Baltimore Orioles catcher Samuel Basallo (abdomen) will sit out on Saturday at the Rogers Centre against the hosting Toronto Blue Jays after suffering an abdominal injury and being pulled from the game early on Friday, per MLB.com. Adley Rutschman is catching right-hander Kyle Bradish and will bat third against Blue Jays right-hander Braydon Fisher after a big four-hit, five-RBI performance in Friday night's blowout win. The severity of Basallo's injury is unknown at this time, but he could require a trip to the injured list and is unlikely to play again this weekend in the series in Canada. Sam Huff has been brought up as an emergency catching option for the O's in case Basallo needs to miss extended time. The 21-year-old Dominican backstop has had a pretty solid first full season in the big leagues, entering Saturday with a .273/.339/.494 slash line, .833 OPS, nine home runs, 26 RBI, and 25 runs scored in 52 games. Check back for an update on Basallo's status after he undergoes additional testing on his abdomen.
