Mountcastle

Mountcastle suffered the injury while warming up for his first minor league rehab game. He has been sidelined since mid-April due to a fractured left foot and was finally on the precipice of rejoining the Orioles. It seems unlikely now that he’ll make it back before the end of the 2026 regular season.

Mountcastle has been on the shelf with a fractured left foot since mid-April. It’s unclear why the Orioles decided to pull the plug on his rehab assignment after announcing it earlier this week. There should be a clearer picture regarding his next steps at some point later this week.

Mountcastle has been out since fracturing his left foot back in mid-April. He’s probably going to need a couple weeks to get back up to speed before he’s an option for Baltimore.

Mountcastle will be sidelined for at least the next two months after suffering a foot fracture over the weekend. The 29-year-old was mostly limited to a bench role with season with Pete Alonso taking over at first base in Baltimore and top prospect Samuel Basallo at DH.

Mountcastle has somehow managed to avoid hitting the injured list after suffered a broken toe over the weekend. The 29-year-old will remain on Baltimore’s bench for Monday’s series opener against the Diamondbacks but is highly unlikely to make an appearance.

Mountcastle suffered the injury Saturday while picking up the double. The 29-year-old will be placed on the injured list before Baltimore’s next game, and there’s a good chance he’ll need to miss significantly more than the minimum 10-day stint.

Mountcastle fell to his side after hitting a double, and he was unable to continue. The 29-year-old was only in because of Adley Rutschman’s ankle injury, and it appears Baltimore may have another player that won’t be available. The severity of Mountcastle’s injury should be made public soon.

Rutschman was set to hit third against Logan Webb and the Giants, but he’ll get at least a day off due to the ankle ailment. Samuel Basallo is now catching, and Ryan Mountcastle will be the designated hitter with Rutschman out.

Mountcastle finds himself in Baltimore’s lineup for just the second time this season with his lone start coming back on March 31. It’ll be Samuel Basallo and Dylan Beavers on the bench with Mountcastle and Tyler O’Neill getting an opportunity to face White Sox opener Grant Taylor, who has been excellent this season.

Basallo’s home run was a 375-foot shot off Andrew Painter that left the bat at 105.7 mph, and then he added a 108.7 mph double later in the game. The 21-year-old has acquitted himself well this spring, and with Coby Mayo now slated to start at third base until Jordan Westburg (elbow/oblique) returns, Basallo has a much clearer run at playing time. Ryan Mountcastle remains, and we don’t know when Westburg will return, but if Basallo hits early in the season, he could find himself starting against all right-handed pitchers.
