Hays is out of the lineup for the second game of Monday's doubleheader with the Blue Jays, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hays isn't in the lineup Thursday against Cleveland, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hays went 0-for-7 with two strikeouts over the last two games and will get a rare day off Thursday. Terrin Vavra is starting in left field and batting ninth.

Hays went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Hays went yard in the third inning for what was ultimately the Orioles' last run in the low-scoring victory. The outfielder has hit safely in seven of his last nine games, going 10-for-33 (.303) with six extra-base hits in that span. He's pulling out of a slump that plagued him earlier in August, and the 27-year-old is still slashing .256/.313/.434 with 15 long balls, 53 RBI, 58 runs scored and two stolen bases through 114 contests this year.

Hays went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Hays ended a 13-game homer drought with his ninth-inning blast, though the Orioles' late rally fell short. He's hit safely in five of his last six games, going 7-for-21 (.333) with a homer, three RBI, four runs scored and four doubles in that span. The outfielder has struggled a bit after battling an oblique injury earlier in August but is still slashing a steady .257/.314/.432 with 14 long balls, 52 RBI, 57 runs scored, two steals, 29 doubles and a triple through 111 contests this year.

Hays went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles, one walk, one RBI and one run scored in Friday's 15-10 win over the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Hays entered Friday just 1-for-20 over his last six contests. He broke out of the slump early and kept the line moving well throughout the high-scoring contest. The outfielder is slashing .257/.314/.428 with 13 home runs, 50 RBI, 54 runs scored, two stolen bases, 28 doubles and a triple through 107 games this year. Hays has often hit sixth in August, as his recent slump and the success of other hitters has caused a long-lasting adjustment to manager Brandon Hyde's preferred batting order.

Hays is on the bench Tuesday against the Blue Jays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Three consecutive hitless games have Hays slashing .194/.219/.323 in eight contests since the beginning of August. Terrin Vavra slides to left field Tuesday while Anthony Santander gets a night at designated hitter.

Hays went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 7-4 win over the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

This was Hays' second homer since the start of July, though he's dealt with wrist and oblique injuries over the last month-plus. He started out well this season, but those injury issues have likely contributed to a lackluster .207/.267/.326 slash line across his last 25 contests. The outfielder has slashed .261/.318/.438 for the season while adding 13 long balls, 48 RBI, 50 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases in 97 games.

Hays (oblique) is starting Monday against the Blue Jays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hays didn't appear in any of the last four games due to left oblique tightness, but he's starting in left field and batting sixth during Monday's series opener against the Blue Jays. Over his last five games, he's gone 3-for-18 with a double, two runs, a stolen base, a walk and six strikeouts.

Hays (oblique) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Pirates, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hays hasn't seen the field since Tuesday due to tightness in his left oblique, and he won't rejoin the lineup for Sunday's series finale versus Pittsburgh. The 27-year-old ran, hit and threw Saturday, so he could be back in action within the next day or two, according to Kubatko. Brett Phillips and Anthony Santander will continue to start in the corner outfield for Baltimore.

Hays (oblique) remains on the bench Saturday against the PIrates, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hays said Friday that he wasn't significantly concerned with his tight oblique, but the issue will now cost him his third straight start. He's trending in the right direction, per Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com, and isn't expected to require a trip to the injured list. Brett Phillips and Anthony Santander will handle the outfield corners in his absence.
