  • Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Playing Wednesday, as expected

    Mountcastle (neck) is starting at first base and batting cleanup in Wednesday's spring game against the Phillies, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    The 27-year-old hasn't been in the lineup since Friday due to neck stiffness, but he's ready to rejoin the starting nine Wednesday. The fact Mountcastle is playing defense instead of just serving as the designated hitter indicates there's not much concern over the injury.

  • Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Set to return Wednesday

    Mountcastle (neck) expects to play in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    A return for Tuesday's exhibition had been mentioned as a possibility, though that was seen as a best-case scenario after Mountcastle reported neck stiffness over the weekend. He will instead stay back and take live batting practice to prepare for his return to action Wednesday. The 27-year-old has had a bit of a slow spring with a .592 OPS in nine games, but he appears on track to be ready for Opening Day and still projects to see a lot of playing time at DH to begin the season.

  • Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Neck feeling better

    Mountcastle (neck) won't be in the lineup for either of Sunday's split-squad games but could return to game action as early as Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    The 26-year-old was scratched from Saturday's starting nine after his backed locked up on him while taking some swings, but he's apparently feeling much better a day later. The Orioles are likely to remain cautious so close to the start of the season, but at this point Mountcastle's availability for Opening Day doesn't appear to be in jeopardy.

    Mountcastle was scratched from the Orioles' Grapefruit League lineup for Thursday's game versus the Pirates, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

  • Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Reaches deal with Orioles

    Mountcastle signed a one-year, $4.1 million deal with the Orioles on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

    Mountcastle has developed into a steady player, posting a slugging percentage above .450 in three of his four big-league seasons. He may lose some playing time in 2024 due to the depth in the Orioles' lineup, but he projects to regularly serve as the team's designated hitter or first baseman.

  • Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Activated from 10-day IL

    Mountcastle (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Wednesday's game against the Nationals, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Mountcastle is not in the Orioles' lineup Wednesday versus Washington, but he should be available off the bench and is expected to make a full return in Thursday's series opener against the Red Sox. The 26-year-old wound up missing exactly 10 days because of left shoulder inflammation.

  • Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Takes BP, nearing activation

    Mountcastle (shoulder) took batting practice on the field Tuesday and is likely a couple days away from being reinstated from the 10-day injured list, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.

    The 26-year-old will be eligible to be activated Wednesday, but the Orioles may give it an extra day or two before returning him to the active roster. Regardless, Mountcastle should be ready for game action before the end of the regular season Sunday.

  • Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Minimum IL stint possible

    Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Saturday he believes Mountcastle (shoulder) will be able to return from the injured list when first eligible, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Mountcastle landed on the 10-day IL last Wednesday (retroactive to Sept. 17) with inflammation in his left shoulder. He stood in and took pitches during a Felix Bautista (elbow) bullpen session Saturday, and the first baseman has begun fielding grounders as well. Mountcastle won't be eligible to return from the injured list until Wednesday, but it's encouraging to see him trending in the right direction.

  • Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Lands on injured list

    Mountcastle was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, retroactive to Sept. 17, with left AC joint inflammation, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    The Orioles had consistently said Mountcastle wouldn't need an IL stint for the shoulder injury he suffered a week ago, but he simply hasn't recovered as quickly as anticipated. He'll be eligible for activation Sept. 27, but it's not clear at this time whether he will be ready then.
