Orioles manager Buck Showalter will be away from the team Thursday to attend the birth of his first grandchild in Dallas.
Bench coach John Russell will manage the series finale Thursday night against the Cleveland Indians at Camden Yards.
Showalter was scheduled to take an early-morning flight to Texas to be with his family – his daughter, Allie, is scheduled to give birth to a boy Thursday morning – and then rejoin the team when the Orioles open a three-game series Friday night at Tampa Bay.
