Samuel Basallo Returns to Tuesday's Lineup as the DH
Baltimore Orioles catcher Samuel Basallo (knee) will return to the starting lineup as the designated hitter and bat fifth for the O's for Tuesday's game against the visiting New York Yankees and right-hander Will Warren, according to MLB.com. Baltimore scratched Basallo out of an abundance of caution in the series opener on Monday due to discomfort in his left knee, but he's back in the lineup a day later. The 21-year-old should be returned to fantasy lineups in traditional leagues against Warren, whom he has hit .286 against in his seven career at-bats. The left-handed-hitting backstop is having a strong 2026 season so far, too, slashing .270/.333/.470 with an .803 OPS, five home runs, 15 RBI, and 14 runs scored in 115 at-bats. Although he has yet to clear the fences in May, Basallo has gone 12-for-33 (.364) with four doubles, a triple, six RBI, and four runs scored in 10 games to begin the month.
