Coby Mayo News: Back on bench Sunday

Mayo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Mayo took a pitch off his right hand Friday, but he was cleared to start Saturday and went 0-for-3 with a walk. The Orioles haven't indicated that Mayo experienced any setbacks, so his absence Sunday looks to be a routine rest day. The 23-year-old has held down a near-everyday role throughout August, but he's slashing just .154/.236/.277 with a 38.9 percent strikeout rate so far this month.
