O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.
Though he was included in the lineup the last time the Orioles faced a lefty starter (Kris Bubic) on May 3, the lefty-hitting O'Hearn will retreat to the bench Sunday while southpaw Tyler Anderson takes the hill for the Angels. O'Hearn's absence will allow the Orioles to give Adley Rutschman a day off from catching and deploy him as their designated hitter.

Orioles' Ryan O'Hearn: Heading to bench vs. lefty
Rotowire
O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

Orioles' Ryan O'Hearn: Multi-hit effort in win
Rotowire
O'Hearn went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Saturday's 9-5 win over Toronto.
After hitting a leadoff double in the fourth inning, O'Hearn eventually crossed the plate to score on a Gary Sanchez sacrifice fly. The veteran slugger has gone 4-for-13 through three games thus far this season, and O'Hearn will need to continue to produce offensively in order to prevent Heston Kjerstad from eating into his playing time at designated hitter.
O'Hearn went 1-for-3 with one strikeout in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox.
O'Hearn was able to get his first hit of the spring out of the cleanup spot in Baltimore's lineup, as he's now gone 1-for-12 during spring training. The 31-year-old veteran slugger is set to function as the Orioles' primary designated hitter versus right-handed pitching in 2025, but he does have 2020 first-rounder Heston Kjerstad fighting for at-bats as well. O'Hearn is likely to be on the strong side of a platoon, so he is best deployed in daily leagues or deeper formats.
