Not in lineup Sunday
Kjerstad (elbow) isn't in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Cincinnati, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis
Kjerstad was lifted in the third inning of Saturday's contest after getting hit in the elbow by a Hunter Greene fastball in the first frame. X-rays returned negative, so Kjerstad may have escaped a serious injury. Baltimore doesn't play Monday and next hits the road for a series in Washington beginning Tuesday.

Leaves after getting hit on elbow
Kjerstad left Saturday's game against the Reds in the third inning after getting hit by a Hunter Greene fastball on the elbow in the first inning, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis
X-rays on Kjerstad's elbow came back negative after he was pulled, per Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com, so he seems to have escaped with only a bruise. Ramon Laureano replaced Kjerstad in left field and could be in for more playing time if the latter ends up needing to sit another game or two. The 26-year-old is off to a decent start at the plate, hitting .261/.300/.500 with three homers so far, and he's now been hit by seven pitches in 70 career major-league games.

Smacks another home run
Kjerstad went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer in Friday's 8-3 loss to the Reds.
Analysis
Kjerstad was responsible for driving in the final runs of Friday's game, as he took the second pitch he saw from Scott Barlow deep to right-center field for a two-run home run in the eighth inning. Kjerstad has belted a home run in back-to-back games and has logged two RBI in each of his last three outings. He's slashing .261/.268/.500 with nine runs scored, three home runs and 12 RBI across 49 plate appearances so far this season.

Belts two-run homer vs. Cleveland
Kjerstad went 1-for-2 with one walk and a two-run homer in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Guardians.
Analysis
Kjerstad extended the Orioles' lead to four runs in the sixth inning, when he smacked an 80-mph changeup from Tanner Bibee deep to center field for a two-run home run. It was the third time Kjerstad has tallied two RBI in his last five games, and he has two long balls over that span.
