Coby Mayo - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Optioned to Triple-A The Orioles optioned Mayo to Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Mayo has appeared in 10 games since coming up from the minors at the beginning of the month, going 3-for-24 with 12 strikeouts. He'll now be sent back to Triple-A with Ramon Urias (ankle) expected to return from the injured list, which will give Mayo a chance to get back on track at the dish during the final few games of the season.

Sitting again Mayo is not in Saturday's lineup against the Tigers.

Impact Mayo looked to be gaining a hold on a regular role in the Orioles' lineup with consecutive starts Monday and Tuesday. However, he's now sat three games in a row -- all against a right-handed starter. Emmanuel Rivera will take over at third base.

Riding pine Friday Mayo is not in Friday's lineup against the Tigers.

Impact The righty-hitting Mayo started two of the past three games (all against righties), but he'll head to the bench Friday with righty Beau Brieske working as the opener and lefty Brant Hurter expected to come in as the primary pitcher. Emmanuel Rivera draws the start at third base, batting eighth. Mayo is hitting .133 with a walk and six strikeouts in 15 at-bats since being a September call-up.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back on bench Wednesday Mayo is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Boston.

Impact Mayo had made two straight starts after starting just one of the previous six contests. He's back on the bench for Wednesday's series finale, with Emmanuel Rivera drawing the start at third base for the Orioles.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Rare start Monday Mayo will start at third base and bat eighth in Monday's game versus the Red Sox, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's just his third start in eight games since being recalled from Triple-A Norfolk in the wake of the Ramon Urias (ankle) injury, although he did enter as a pinch-hitter each of the last two days. Mayo is only 2-for-25 with 15 strikeouts so far at the major-league level.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting out opener Mayo is not in Friday's lineup against the Rays.

Impact Since Ramon Urias sprained his ankle Aug. 31, Mayo has made two starts at third base, with Emmanuel Rivera also getting two starts at the hot corner. Nick Maton is picking up his first start at third base for the Orioles on Friday, so it appears to be a full-on timeshare.

SEPTEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from Monday's lineup Mayo is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Mayo started at third base in the first game upon his recall Sunday, but he's on the bench a day later while Emmanuel Rivera draws the start at third base. The top prospect could still see the bulk of the starts at the hot corner while Ramon Urias (ankle) and Jordan Westburg (hand) are out, but his absence from Monday's lineup suggests everyday at-bats are far from guaranteed.

Promoted, starting at third base The Orioles recalled Mayo from Triple-A Norfolk, and he's starting at third base and batting sixth Sunday against the Rockies.

Impact It's no surprise the 22-year-old has joined the Orioles with MLB rosters expanding to 28 players Sunday, but the placement of Ramon Urias (ankle) on the injured list has opened up playing time at third base. Mayo struggled in his first taste of the majors, going 1-for-17 with 10 strikeouts over his first seven games, but it appears he'll receive some chances in September while Urias is sidelined.

Promoted, starting at third base The Orioles recalled Mayo from Triple-A Norfolk, and he will start at third base and bat sixth Sunday against the Rockies.

Impact The 22-year-old has joined the Orioles with MLB active rosters expanding to 28 players Sunday, and placement of Ramon Urias (ankle) on the injured list could open up everyday playing time for Mayo at third base. Mayo struggled in his first taste of the majors, going 1-for-17 with 10 strikeouts over his first seven games, but he appears poised to get plenty of chances in September while Urias is sidelined.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoining big club Sunday The Orioles are expected to recall Mayo from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact With rosters set to expand Sunday, Mayo will return to the majors for the stretch run, though he won't assured regular playing time for the now second-place Orioles. Widely considered one of the top prospects in baseball, Mayo has put together a big year at Triple-A with 22 homers and a .943 OPS in 87 games for Norfolk. His 1-for-17 showing during his first cup of coffee in the big leagues should not dampen enthusiasm long term in dynasty leagues.

Optioned back to minors The Orioles optioned Mayo to Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday.

Impact Mayo picked up his first major-league hit in Wednesday's win over the Nationals, but the young infielder went just 1-for-17 with 10 strikeouts in his first stint in the big-leagues and had fallen behind Ramon Urias on the third base depth chart. The 22-year-old's dynasty league outlook remains unchanged, but redraft value might not be in the cards for Mayo.

AUGUST 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Collects first MLB hit Mayo went 1-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Nationals.

Impact Getting the start at third base and batting eighth, Mayo banged out the first hit of his big-league career with a single to lead off the fifth inning. The 22-year-old had gone 0-for-15 since his promotion coming into Wednesday, but his .301/.375/.586 slash line at Triple-A Norfolk this season is a reminder that the hits could come in bunches for Mayo once he gets comfortable.

Absent from lineup again Mayo is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

Impact Mayo has now started just one of the last five games, taking a clear back seat to Ramon Urias at third base. The rookie is still seeking his first major-league hit, having gone 0-for-15 with 10 strikeouts. It would not be a surprise to see Mayo sent back to Triple-A Norfolk soon.

AUGUST 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Losing playing time to Urias Mayo is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest in Tampa Bay, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Impact It marks the third time in four games that Mayo has been out of the Orioles' starting lineup. The rookie is 0-for-13 with eight strikeouts to begin his major-league career, and it appears he could now be behind Ramon Urias in the pecking order at third base.

AUGUST 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Thursday Mayo isn't in the Orioles' lineup for Thursday's game against Toronto.

Impact Mayo has struck out in eight of his first 13 major-league at-bats, and he is still searching for his first career hit after five games in the big leagues. He'll get a day to regroup Thursday while Ramon Urias starts at the hot corner and bats ninth.

AUGUST 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Taking seat Tuesday Mayo is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Toronto.

Impact Mayo started the Orioles' first three contests upon his promotion, going 0-for-9 with a 5:2 K:BB. He'll begin this one on the bench as Ramon Urias gets the start at third base.

AUGUST 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Contract selected by Baltimore The Orioles selected Mayo's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday.

Impact The 22-year-old is joining Baltimore for his first look in the big leagues after Jordan Westburg suffered a fractured right hand Wednesday. May will make his MLB debut Friday in Cleveland, starting at third base and batting eighth. He's one of the top prospects in baseball and has a .301/.375/.586 slash line with 20 homers in 77 games at Triple-A this season.

AUGUST 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Headed to Baltimore The Orioles plan to call Mayo up to the majors on Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact With Jordan Westburg (hand) sidelined for the foreseeable future, playing time has opened up along Baltimore's infield. The Orioles will tab Mayo to fill the void, though the move has not yet been made official. Mayo has earned the chance to make his major-league debut by maintaining a 139 wRC+ and .406 wOBA across 335 plate appearances with Triple-A Norfolk this season, and he'll have high expectations as one of the top hitting prospects in all of baseball.

AUGUST 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Could get look with Westburg out The Orioles could consider calling up Mayo following the injury to Jordan Westburg (hand), Danielle Allentuck of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Impact Westburg suffered a fractured right hand in Wednesday's win over the Blue Jays and will be sidelined for several weeks. Most of Mayo's starts at Triple-A Norfolk lately have come at first base, but third base has been his primary position in the minors. One option for the Orioles is to summon Mayo to handle the hot corner, although they could also just stick Ramon Urias there. One factor is that the team does still need to officially add trade acquisitions Eloy Jimenez and Austin Slater to the roster. Mayo has slashed .293/.366/.578 with 20 home runs over 75 games at Norfolk this season and should be an immediate add in fantasy leagues if he does receive a promotion.

JULY 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Mastering Triple-A Mayo is slashing .319/.424/.639 with six home runs and a 17.6 percent strikeout rate in 19 games since returning to action for Triple-A Norfolk.

Impact A top five prospect for dynasty leagues at this point, Mayo missed a month early in the year with a rib injury, but he has been even better at the plate since returning than he was before the injury. The 22-year-old corner infielder had a 27.6 percent strikeout rate when he was placed on the injured list in the middle of May, and the recent decrease in strikeouts suggests he has essentially mastered Triple-A pitching. The Orioles may opt to keep Mayo in the minors until at least late-August so that he is eligible for AL Rookie of the Year in 2025, but if he were to get rewarded with a promotion before then, he would be worth an add in the majority of formats.
