Second baseman Jonathan Schoop was scratched from today's lineup due to a sore left quadriceps muscle. The Orioles say he's available off the bench.

Ryan Flaherty is starting at second base and batting eighth. Shortstop Everth Cabrera moves up to seventh in the lineup.

Schoop has homered in both games of the current homestand. He hit his first career grand slam last night.

David Lough is slated to lead off and play left field today at Single-A Frederick. He could be activated from the disabled list on Monday.

Infielder Jimmy Paredes will pass through Baltimore this week and could join the Keys on a rehab assignment. Manager Buck Showalter told reporters last night that Paredes will be in Fort Myers on Monday.

Shortstop J.J. Hardy still is expected to begin an injury-rehab assignment at Double-A Bowie, which begins its homestand on Thursday.

I forgot to mention yesterday that Jones passed Paul Blair for sole possession of 10th place on the Orioles' all-time RBI list with 569.
