Hays went 0-for-3 with a walk, one RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Hays walked, stole a base and scored in the fifth inning to get Baltimore on the board. He's not the speediest of players, but two of his four steals this year have come over the last seven games. The outfielder saw his seven-game hitting streak end Saturday, but he's now at a .282/.331/.460 slash line with 13 home runs, 53 RBI, 61 runs scored, 32 doubles and two triples across 115 contests.

Hays went 2-for-3 with one double, a solo home run and two runs scored in Friday's 5-4 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Hays extended a modest hitting streak to seven games with a double in the first, then pulled the Orioles to within one with his 13th home run in the sixth. Hays has rebounded from a rough month of July where he hit only .162 to hitting .282 in 71 August at-bats. He is now slashing .284/.332/.463 on the season and maintains a role as the regular cleanup hitter against lefties.

Hays went 1-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored, one stolen base and a walk in Saturday's 7-2 extra-inning win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Hays did a little bit of everything from the No. 5 spot in the order. He hasn't hit for much of an average lately, going 8-for-33 (.242) over his last nine games, but six of his hits in that span have gone for extra bases. His steal Saturday was his third of the year and first since June 4. The outfielder is at a .280/.323/.452 slash line with 12 homers, 48 RBI, 57 runs scored, 30 doubles and two triples through 109 contests.

Hays went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Tuesday's 10-3 loss to the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Hays was a bright spot in an otherwise ugly game for the Orioles. The outfielder has needed a spark in recent weeks -- he has just three multi-hit efforts over 28 games since the All-Star break, a span in which he's hitting a mere .192. The slump has knocked his slash line down to .281/.321/.445 with 11 homers, 46 RBI, 54 runs scored, two stolen bases and 27 doubles over 106 contests. He's seen less playing time lately, and with Aaron Hicks (hamstring/back) on the roster again, Hays can't afford to stay cold at the plate much longer.

Hays is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Hays had a 4-for-5 game early in August, but he otherwise racked up just five hits over his last 13 games, so he will get another day off after receiving one Friday. Aaron Hicks will slot into left field for the Orioles on Monday night.

Hays is not in the lineup Friday against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Hays will grab some rest after going 0-for-3 with three strikeouts in Thursday's series finale against the Astros. Colton Cowser, Cedric Mullins and Ryan O'Hearn are starting across the outfield for the Orioles on Friday in Seattle.

Hays went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 8-2 loss to the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

He supplied all of Baltimore's offense by taking Cristian Javier deep in the fourth inning. It's Hays' 10th long ball of the season but his first since the All-Star break, snapping a 22-game drought, and he's slashing a sluggish .184/.226/.264 to begin the unofficial second half.

Hays (general soreness) is starting in left field and batting cleanup in his return to the lineup Tuesday versus the Astros, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hays didn't start the previous two games after getting banged up on a couple of diving catches, but he's ready to roll following Monday's off day. The 28-year-old and his teammates will be tasked Tuesday with solving Framber Valdez, who is coming off having thrown a no-hitter against the Guardians in his most recent start.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Hays was out of the lineup Saturday and Sunday against the Mets due to some soreness, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hays is a bit banged up after some diving catches in the outfield over the past few days, leading him to be kept out of the starting nine for the last two games versus the Mets. The 28-year-old will now have Monday's team off day to rest up ahead of Tuesday's series opener against Houston.

Hays is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Hays is on the bench for the second straight day, and while the Orioles haven't provided clarity behind the nature of the consecutive absences, the outfielder may be recovering from an injury he picked up in Friday's 10-3 win. Whether Hays is dealing with an injury or not, fantasy managers in weekly leagues will still want to verify that he's back in the lineup Tuesday when the Orioles open a six-game week with a matchup against the Astros.
