Back in action Tuesday
Basallo (hand) will start behind the plate Tuesday against the Pirates, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Analysis
The rookie backstop exited Saturday's contest after taking a foul tip on his right hand and was held out of the lineup Sunday after X-rays came back negative, but he's good to go Tuesday following Baltimore's team off day. Basallo has yet to find his footing at the plate through his first 16 big-league games and has a .204/.283/.389 slash line with two homers and nine RBI.

Sitting Sunday
Basallo (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
Analysis
The 20-year-old departed Saturday's game after taking a foul tip off his right hand. X-rays on his hand came back negative, so it appears Basallo won't miss extended time. Alex Jackson will step in behind the dish Sunday.

Gets promising results from X-rays
X-rays on Basallo's right hand were negative Saturday, Danielle Allentuck of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Analysis
Basallo had to be lifted in the fifth inning of Saturday's win over the Dodgers after taking a foul tip off his right hand. The rookie backstop was initially announced to have been removed due to discomfort in his right hand, and subsequent X-rays turned out to be negative. That's certainly good news for Basallo, who can be considered day-to-day until more is known about his injury.

Exits Saturday with hand injury
Basallo departed Saturday's game against the Dodgers due to right-hand discomfort, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Analysis
Basallo was hurt in the fifth inning when he was hit in the right hand by a foul tip. The rookie catcher originally tried to remain in the game, but he sailed a practice throw into center field and was subsequently lifted. Alex Jackson replaced Basallo behind the plate Saturday and would presumably be in line to start if Basallo needs to miss time, as Adley Rutschman (oblique) and Gary Sanchez (knee) are both on the injured list.

Walks it off Friday
Basallo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-1 win over the Dodgers.
Analysis
The rookie swatted his second career homer and his first at home in Oriole Park at Camden Yards, and he made it count -- with the score tied 1-1 and two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, Basallo crushed a Tanner Scott fastball 433 feet over the fence in right-center field. The 21-year-old is still adjusting to big-league pitching, but his upside is undeniable, and through his first 15 games with the O's he's slashing .204/.271/.389 with four doubles, nine RBI and a 4:13 BB:K.
