INF/OF Ryan Flaherty, placed on the disabled list May 21 (retroactive to May 19, right shoulder strain), should probably start throwing in the coming week.

SS Ryan Flaherty had an evening of firsts in the series finale Wednesday. He got his first start at home this season, banged out his first hit -- a single for his first RBI -- on his first at-bat. He also drew a key bases-loaded walk in the 11th that set up the game-winning walk from RF Seth Smith.

INF Ryan Flaherty produced all the Orioles' scoring in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants with a two-run, pinch-hit single in the ninth inning.

Flaherty had been hitless in his previous seven at-bats.

He nearly hit home run only for the ball to hook a few inches foul down the right-field line. He also walked and was on third base as the tying run in the seventh inning before breaking his at-bat on a ground ball against LHP Aroldis Chapman in the ninth. It was his 11th career start at first base and 22nd career appearance there.

3B Ryan Flaherty helped the Orioles make their way through four games without Manny Machado -- out on suspension but returning Friday. Flaherty went 5-for-17 (.294) in these last four games. He also again played solid defense at third, which helped the Orioles split the four games without Machado.

He's been known more for his defensive skills and versatility -- he can play almost anywhere -- but has helped more lately at the plate. Flaherty hit a 446-foot homer Tuesday, and his two-run double proved the key blow in Wednesday's 4-0 victory. "It's just nice to try to help contribute and try to help the team win the game," Flaherty said. "Yeah, you hear versatility enough so if you can do something offensively, it's nice."

3B Ryan Flaherty is slowly making his way out of an early-season slump, something that has bugged him before.

He has raised his average from .175 to .213.

INF Ryan Flaherty was recalled Tuesday from Triple-A Norfolk after SS J.J. Hardy (left foot) was placed on the disabled list. Flaherty batted .200 in 10 games for the Orioles this season, but went 8-for-19 (.421) for the Tides. He started at third base for the series opener against the Yankees, while Manny Machado moved to shortstop. Pedro Alvarez could also see time at third base, manager Buck Showalter said. "I'd also like to keep from moving guys around a lot," Showalter said.

Flaherty will start in right field for the Orioles on Wednesday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

While Flaherty has made a few starts in the outfield in past seasons, this will be his first of the 2015 campaign. The move comes as a result of Adam Jones remaining sidelined by back spasms, so it's unlikely that this will continue once Jones returns to the lineup.
