Orioles' Pedro Alvarez: Gets another day off Thursday

Alvarez is out of the lineup Thursday against the Nationals.

Analysis:

Alvarez was held out of Wednesday's contest as well, as the Orioles are without the DH spot playing in an NL ballpark, but he worked his way into the game as a pinch hitter. The 29-year-old will likely be available in a similar capacity again Thursday and should return to the lineup Friday when the team resumes AL play.
