Orioles' Robinson Chirinos: Productive in Friday's win
Robinson Chirinos went 1-for-4 with an RBI double and a run scored in Friday's 5-2 win over the Athletics.Chirinos did his damage in the third inning to open the scoring.

Orioles' Robinson Chirinos: Not pushing for more time
Robinson Chirinos is batting .206 (7-for-34) since the start of June.Chirinos had a couple of multi-hit games last month, but he's been held without a hit in seven of his last 11 contests. He won't get many chances to get in a rhythm, since Adley Rutschman commands a large share of the playing time behind the dish. Chirinos has posted a .159/.262/.270 slash line with two home runs, 15 RBI, seven runs scored and a stolen base in 43 contests, and he's likely to be limited to just two or three starts a week at most.

Orioles' Robinson Chirinos: On base twice Saturday
Robinson Chirinos went 1-for-3 with a walk in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Royals.Chirinos entered Saturday 0-for-12 with two walks in his last four games. He's seen a reduction in playing time as the Baltimore Orioles have committed to letting Adley Rutschman get plenty of starts behind the dish. With a .135/.242/.231 slash line, two home runs, 10 RBI and six runs scored in 36 contests, Chirinos is probably better suited to a backup role anyway, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to start more than a couple of times per week.

Orioles' Robinson Chirinos: Slated for backup role
Robinson Chirinos is in line to serve as the Baltimore Orioles' No. 2 catcher after Adley Rutschman's contract was selected Saturday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.Chirinos served as the Orioles' top catcher to begin the season, but he hit just .139 with a home run, six RBI and four runs over 28 games. The 37-year-old will remain on the active roster following Rutschman's promotion, while Anthony Bemboom was designated for assignment. However, Rutschman should see plenty of playing time right off the bat, so Chirinos is in line for a clear backup role.
