CHICAGO – The Orioles designated left-hander Kirk McCarty for assignment today to make room for pitcher Louis Head on the 40-man roster.

Head was claimed off waivers this morning from the Marlins. The Orioles optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk.

Head has been on the injured list with a right shoulder impingement. He made a rehab appearance in the rookie-level Florida Complex League.

McCarty made one start with Norfolk and allowed three runs in four innings after the Orioles selected him off waivers from the Guardians on July 6.

Austin Hays returns to the lineup and is playing right field tonight after sitting out Sunday’s game with a sore right wrist. Anthony Santander is in left.

Adley Rutschman is catching and batting sixth.

Ramón Urías is the third baseman.

The Orioles will try to win their ninth game in a row, their longest streak since September 1999. This is their first visit to Wrigley Field since being swept in three games in 2014.
