What might Mazzilli do?

Orioles starting pitching had a 3.96 ERA when starting catcher Javy Lopez went on the DL. The starters have a 2.17 ERA in the 8 starts since with Geronimo Gil and Sal Fasano behind the plate. Lopez has a broken right hand and won't be back til July at the earliest.

Gil and Fasano are excellent behind the plate but neither can hit. Lopez is an excellent hitter but average behind the plate.

If the O's starting pitching continues to shine with Gil and Fasano behind the plate, what will Mazzilli do with Lopez when he comes off the DL?

Hit Lopez in the right hand?
