Hays goes on injured list with strained left calf; Orioles add Bañuelos; Mountcastle out with knee soreness

The Orioles placed outfielder Austin Hays on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 21st, because of a strained left calf muscle. Hays suffered the injury in the seventh inning of Saturday’s game against Kansas City.

Hays is hitting .111 (5-for-45) with four RBIs.

The Orioles selected the contract of catcher David Bañuelos from Triple-A Norfolk to replace Hays on the 26-man roster. Bañuelos made his major league debut last Tuesday and was hitless in his only at-bat. He was outrighted to Norfolk to make room for Monday’s starter, Albert Suárez
