McFarland back at Camden Yards (plus lineup and notes)

Left-hander T.J. McFarland is in the Orioles' clubhouse today. He's been placed on the one-day taxi squad and can be recalled as an extra pitcher for Saturday's doubleheader.

Yovani Gallardo makes his second start tonight since coming off the disabled list, Manny Machado returns from his four-game suspension and the Orioles open a four-game series against the Rays at Camden Yards.

The tarp's off the field at Camden Yards following heavy rain earlier in the day.

Gallardo-Throws-Black-Sidebar.jpgGallardo is 2-1 with a 3.06 ERA in three career starts against the Rays. The current group is batting .193 (11-for-57) against him. Logan Morrison is 1-for-19.

Rays left-hander Matt Moore has allowed two runs and struck out 15 batters in 13 innings over his last two starts. He's 4-5 with a 3.84 ERA in 11 career games (10 starts) against the Orioles and 2-2 with a 3.09 ERA in five games (four starts) at Camden Yards.

Adam Jones is 11-for-27 with a double and two home runs against Moore. Matt Wieters is 8-for-20 with a double and two home runs, Jonathan Schoop is 3-for-6, Nolan Reimold is 3-for-10 with two doubles and six strikeouts, Mark Trumbo is 3-for-14 with a double and home run, and Chris Davis is 3-for-21.

Schoop moves up to second in tonight's lineup.

Caleb Joseph worked out at Camden Yards today before heading to Double-A Bowie. He "caught" bench coach John Russell and made throws to second base.

Joseph will catch Monday at Single-A Frederick.

Due to a scoring change, Zach Britton's no longer charged with an earned run in Tuesday's game against the Padres. All three runs in the ninth inning are unearned.

Britton leads the American League with 21 saves, one more than the Tigers' Francisco Rodriguez.

The Rays are starting Matt Andriese in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader, followed by Jake Odorizzi in the nightcap. The spots had been listed as TBD. The Orioles are starting Kevin Gausman and Chris Tillman.
