The Orioles made a late lineup change this morning.

Aaron Hicks has been scratched and no longer gets the start in center field.

Austin Hays goes from the bench to left field for the series finale against the Marlins at Camden Yards. Colton Cowser’s first start in Baltimore switches from left field to center.

Hays is batting fourth, with Ryan O’Hearn moving down to fifth.

Update: Grayson Rodriguez will be recalled Monday and start the series opener against the Dodgers at Camden Yards. A corresponding move is coming, whether to remove a pitcher and keep the staff at 12 or subtract a position player.

Tyler Wells starts Tuesday night and Dean Kremer starts Wednesday afternoon. Cole Irvin goes to the bullpen.

The Dodgers are starting Emmet Sheehan, Michael Grove and Julio Urías.

Hyde told the media that Hicks woke up with soreness in his lower back. And Cedric Mullins is day-to-day with the sore right quad.
