Orioles and Rays lineups

Ryan Mountcastle is out of the Orioles lineup tonight after undergoing an evaluation last night for a concussion.

Mountcastle-Draws-Walk-Black-Sidebar.jpgMountcastle was removed from last night's game after two innings. He took a hard tag from Wander Franco on the side of his head in the first on a failed stolen base attempt.

Trey Mancini is starting at first base and Anthony Santander is the designated hitter.

Maikel Franco is starting at third base and the Orioles are going with a double play combination of Jorge Mateo at second base and Richie Martin at shortstop.

Mateo made his Orioles debut last night as a replacement at third base and was 2-for-3.

Ryan McKenna is in right field. Pedro Severino, who has four home runs in his last seven games, is batting fifth.

Rule 5 pick Tyler Wells threw a bullpen session this afternoon. Next, he'll have another live batting practice session and could be reinstated from the 10-day injured list by mid-to-late next week if there's no soreness in his right wrist.

First-round pick Colton Cowser had two more hits today and is 6-for-9 with a double, home run and five RBIs in his first three games in the Rooke-level Florida Complex League.
