Connor Norby stays at second base tonight and moves up to eighth in the order as the Orioles try to guarantee at least a split of their four-game series in Toronto.

James McCann is catching and batting ninth.

Colton Cowser remains in center field, putting Cedric Mullins on the bench. Austin Hays stays in left field.

Hays hit his first two home runs last night since Sept. 19.

Adley Rutschman is the designated hitter. Ryan O’Hearn moves to the bench.

Ramón Urías joins Mullins and O’Hearn after homering last night. He’s 6-for-10 with two home runs in his last five games.

The Orioles signed right-hander Lincoln Henzman, 28, to a minor league contract and assigned him to Double-A Bowie.

The White Sox drafted Henzman in the fourth round in 2017 out of Louisville. He’s never reached the majors, pitching in the independent Atlantic League in 2023 and at Double-A Pensacola and Triple-A Jacksonville this year in the Marlins system. Used mostly in relief that last few years, Henzman has registered a 4.28 ERA and 1.387 WHIP in 137 games over six minor league seasons.

Also, Bowie pitcher Carlos Tavera and outfielder Donta' Williams have moved up to Triple-A Norfolk.
