3 years agoBaltimore Orioles catcher Robinson Chirinos (head) passed the league's concussion protocol and will avoid a stint on the injured list after taking a pitch off the left side of his face/shoulder on Wednesday. Manager Brandon Hyde said that Chirinos should be back in the lineup this weekend against the Los Angeles Angels. "That was a good phone call to get that he's OK," Hyde said. With Chirinos out of the lineup on Thursday, Anthony Bemboom is doing the catching and hitting eighth against Oakland Athletics right-hander Paul Blackburn. The 37-year-old Chirinos has just four singles and no RBI in his first 22 at-bats over 10 games played. He's just keeping the seat warm for catching prospect Adley Rutschman.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
