De Aza is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Mark Buehrle and the Blue Jays.

No surprise here, as De Aza isn't expected to get much playing time against left-handed pitching. Steve Pearce will get the start in left field, with Delmon Young handling DH duties. Everth Cabrera will replace De Aza in the leadoff spot. The O's aren't scheduled to face another lefty until Tuesday's game against New York's C.C. Sabathia.

De Aza (personal) is expected to rejoin Orioles camp Thursday night, MLB.com reports.

Manager Buck Showalter gave De Aza permission to leave camp Wednesday for his grandfather's 99th birthday in the Dominican Republic, which happened to also fall on his daughter's birthday. De Aza will look to improve upon his 3-for-24 spring mark this weekend.

De Aza will make $5 million in 2015 with the Orioles, Brittany Ghiroli of MLB.com reports.

The Orioles are going with the same lineup that they went with in their series clinching Game 3 win against Detroit, which also didn't include De Aza. Delmon Young will fill in at left field and bat fifth in his place.

De Aza is out of Sunday's lineup against the Tigers.

De Aza is sitting due to the bad matchup with lefty David Price, as the outfielder is hitting .138/.194/.207 against lefties this year. However, it could also be possible the foul ball De Aza took off his foot in Game 2 hurt more than he let on. Delmon Young will take over at left field in his place.

De Aza went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBIs, a run and was hit by a pitch in Thursday's Game 2 of the ALDS against Detroit.

De Aza stayed in the game after being hit with a pitch by Max Scherzer pitch in his foot. Initially, De Aza was tender on the foot but he walked it off. The left-hander De Aza is the likely candidate to start again in Game 2, but he will likely sit in favor of Delmon Young in Game 3 against David Price.

De Aza went 2-for-4 with two home runs and a double in Tuesday's win over the Red Sox.

It was De Aza's first two home runs as an Oriole. He teed off on Red Sox prospects, knocking both home runs off starter Anthony Ranaudo and then doubling off Matt Barnes. De Aza made his third straight start Sunday and could be pushing his way into more playing time than originally anticipated when he sat for four of his first six games following his trade to Baltimore.

De Aza is out of the Orioles' lineup again Saturday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Baltimore Sun reports.

This comes as no surprise, considering a lefty in Drew Smyly is on the hill for Tampa and De Aza is just 8-for-76 (.105 average) against southpaws this season. De Aza sat out Friday as well against a right-hander, so it seems safe to say he will only play intermittently with Baltimore.

De Aza is out of the lineup Friday against the Rays, Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com reports.

David Lough will draw the start in left field Friday, pushing De Aza to the bench for the fourth time in six games since he joined Baltimore. It looks like De Aza's playing time against right-handers will be sporadic, and he will almost certainly sit against all opposing lefty starters.

De Aza is not in Sunday's lineup against the Twins, MASN Sports reports.

De Aza will fill in as a backup in Baltimore's scheme right now, with occasional starts likely to follow. When Nelson Cruz or Delmon Young starts in left field, the Orioles frequently go to a late inning replacement.

De Aza's well-documented struggles against left-handed pitching will keep him out of the lineup once again Sunday, while southpaw Chris Capuano twirls for the Yankees. Jordan Danks will cover center field in De Aza's place.

White Sox manager Robin Ventura said De Aza will likely platoon in left field with Dayan Viciedo with the return of Avisail Garcia, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

If a strict platoon holds up, De Aza would see the larger share of the playing time as the left-handed hitting option. On Saturday, De Aza took a seat and left the corners to Viciedo and Garcia.

De Aza is out of the lineup Saturday against the Blue Jays, Chuck Garfien of CSN Chicago reports.

Despite putting together a five-game hitting streak, De Aza is taking a seat, yielding left field to the recently-activated Avisail Garcia. No matter, De Aza should receive consistent run in the corner outfield as the season continues onward.

De Aza is out of the lineup Thursday against the Mariners.
