Jimenez (knee) is out of the lineup Monday against Cincinnati.

Jimenez tweaked his knee during Saturday's game and will be idle for a second straight contest. Ernie Clement will bat seventh and play shortstop Monday.

Wilson (hamstring) started at shortstop and played five innings in Triple-A Las Vegas' loss to Oklahoma City on Sunday, going 0-for-2 with a hit-by-pitch.

The main takeaway from Wilson's second rehab game was his ability to suit up on consecutive days and play defense for the first time. The rookie infielder may get at least one game off with the Aviators before potentially upping his defensive workload in his next appearance with the affiliate.

Rivas went 2-for-4 with an RBI single, a walk and two runs in a win over the Pirates on Sunday.

Rivas once again provided useful contributions out of the bottom of the order, and he maximized both of his trips on the basepaths by eventually crossing the plate each time. The rookie infielder, who continues to see regular playing time at shortstop in the absence of J.P. Crawford (finger), has reached safely in six of his last seven games, a span in which he owns a .400 OBP thanks in part to a 15.4 percent walk rate.

Henderson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Red Sox.

Henderson's sixth-inning homer gave the Orioles their margin of victory. The shortstop has gone deep four times over his last five games, adding eight RBI in that span. For the season, Henderson is slashing .288/.374/.562 with 33 homers, 77 RBI, 98 runs scored and 14 stolen bases over 123 contests. He should continue to be heavily involved in run production from the No. 3 spot in Baltimore's order.

Rocchio is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

David Fry pinch hit for Rocchio in the eighth inning of Saturday's 2-1 loss against Milwaukee, with the latter finishing the contest 0-for-2. Daniel Schneemann will start at shorstop Sunday and bat eighth against Brewers right-hander Colin Rea.

Jimenez (knee) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Jimenez injured his knee in the first inning of Saturday's contest against the Cubs and did not return following the rain delay. Ernie Clement and Spencer Horwitz will start at shortstop and second base, respectively, in Sunday's series finale.

Wilson (hamstring) started at designated hitter in Triple-A Las Vegas' loss to Oklahoma City on Saturday and went 2-for-3 with a run.

Wilson took the first three plate appearances of the game out of the leadoff spot before being lifted for a pinch hitter. The rookie shortstop may have a chance to play at least a partial game on defense in his next appearance for Las Vegas as he continues to test his previously injured hamstring.

Moore is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Moore struck out in all four at-bats in Saturday's 7-2 loss to Pittsburgh. Leo Rivas will start at shortstop and bat ninth against Pirates right-hander Jake Woodford.

Pena went 0-for-4 with a stolen base Saturday against the White Sox.

Pena saw his five-game hitting streak come to an end, but he still managed his 14th stolen base of the season to set a new career high. In contrast to 2023, he's been relatively efficient on the basepaths, going 14-for-19. That production has been just one part of Pena's strong season, as he's also maintaining a career-best .277 average across 500 plate appearances.

McKinstry went 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Yankees.

McKinstry batted ninth and provided an unexpected lift, as he came into the contest batting just .188 for the season. The utility man is now a career .215 hitter across 355 MLB games, so he's pretty much settled in as a low-impact offensive player who offers value to his team through his defensive versatility. That keeps McKinstry's fantasy appeal fairly limited.
