Samuel Basallo Scratched With Knee Discomfort; Expected to Avoid IL

Samuel Basallo was a late scratch from the Baltimore Orioles' lineup on Monday due to left knee discomfort. While the scratch initially raised concerns for the top prospect, manager Craig Albernaz stated after the 3-2 win over the Yankees that Basallo is fine and is expected to avoid a stint on the injured list. He is currently considered day-to-day. Further analysis was conducted, but the team remains optimistic about his availability as they continue their series in New York.
