Rotowire
Henderson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and two additional RBI in Monday's 13-3 win over the White Sox.
Henderson helped Baltimore bounce back from an early 2-0 deficit, leading off the bottom of the first inning with a solo shot. It was his 34th homer of the year, 28 of which he's hit when he's slotted in atop the lineup. His other RBI came on a sacrifice fly and a groundout. Henderson snapped a 13-game homer drought Monday and now has a .276/.362/.530 slash line with 83 RBI, 103 runs scored and 16 stolen bases over 137 contests. The shortstop has batted leadoff the last two times the Orioles have faced a right-hander, which suggests manager Brandon Hyde is going back to what worked well earlier in the season.

Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Gets aboard three times in win
Rotowire
Henderson went 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and one stolen base in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Rockies.
Henderson entered Sunday in a bit of a slump, having gone just 7-for-50 (.140) over his previous 13 contests. He was able to break that with a multi-hit effort, though he's now gone nine games without an extra-base hit. The shortstop is at a .276/.363/.527 slash line with 33 home runs, 16 steals, 80 RBI, 102 runs scored, 24 doubles and six triples over 136 games this season. He doesn't appear comfortable in the heart of the order -- Henderson is batting .248 across 39 games from third and fourth in the order (combined), while he's batting .287 over 97 games when atop the lineup.
Henderson went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Mets.
Henderson had gone 38 games without a steal, and he had just one attempt in that span. The shortstop is up to 15 thefts on 17 attempts this season. He's batting .293 (22-for-75) in August and now has a .287/.374/.555 slash line with 33 home runs, 78 RBI, 100 runs scored, 23 doubles and six triples over 126 contests this season.
Henderson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Red Sox.

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.

Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Regaining power stroke
Rotowire
Henderson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Red Sox on Saturday.
Henderson accounted for Baltimore's only run in the loss with his sixth-inning solo blast. The long ball was his third in his past four contests on the heels of a 23-game stretch during which he went deep just once. While Henderson's power numbers waned in the weeks following the All-Star break, he appears to be rounding back into form in that area and is still tied for sixth in the majors with 32 long balls on the season.

Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Goes deep in Thursday's win
Rotowire
Henderson went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Red Sox.
After being stuck at 29 homers for seven games, Henderson has smacked a long ball in consecutive contests. He's up to 31 homers this season, though he's hit just five of them since the start of July. Even with less power, he's been productive -- he's batting .321 (17-for-53) in August and has a fantastic .289/.374/.558 slash line with 73 RBI, 96 runs scored, 23 doubles, six triples and 14 stolen bases through 120 contests overall.
Henderson went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Nationals.
The 23-year-old shortstop took DJ Herz deep in the first inning, and it proved to be all the offense that Dean Kremer and the Baltimore bullpen would need. Henderson is slashing .306/.358/.490 through 12 games in August, and Wednesday's homer gave him 30 for the season, the first time -- but almost certainly not the last -- he's reached that mark in his career.
