Impact Mateo started in the last five games and went 2-for-15 with three runs, two RBI and two stolen bases. He'll get a breather while Ramon Urias shifts to shortstop with Tyler Nevin starting at third base.

Day off Saturday Mateo isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Angels, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Adds another steal Thursday Mateo went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Angels.
Impact Mateo has logged two steals in his last three games since it was revealed he was dealing with a sore left quad. The 27-year-old clearly isn't too hampered by it when running, as he's up to 21 stolen bases this season and he hasn't been caught stealing since June 14. He's added a .194/.249/.320 slash line through 275 plate appearances this year while regularly hitting at the bottom of the order.

Notches 20th steal Mateo went 1-for-4 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 10-9 extra-inning win over the Rangers.
Impact Mateo is reportedly playing through a sore left quadriceps, but it didn't slow him down Tuesday. He led off the scoring with an RBI single in the second inning before stealing second and scoring on a Cedric Mullins double. The steal was Mateo's 20th of the year, though it was also his first since June 24. Only Miami's Jon Berti (25) and Seattle rookie Julio Rodriguez (21) have more steals than Mateo this year. The 27-year-old has added six home runs, 22 RBI, 28 runs scored, 10 doubles and two triples, though he still has a lackluster .195/.252/.325 slash line in 75 contests. Since he's nursing an injury, it wouldn't be surprising to see Mateo receive rest some time this week.

Playing through sore quad Mateo will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Tuesday's game against the Rangers, even though he's dealing with a sore left quadriceps, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.
Impact The injury could result in Mateo getting a day off later this week, but he evidently checked out fine during his pregame workout Tuesday and was cleared to stick in the lineup for the second game in a row. Mateo's speed is his top tool, but he hasn't even attempted a steal in any of his last nine games. He's at least provided two home runs over that span to salvage some fantasy value, though he batted just .174.

Riding pine Sunday Mateo is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Impact A 2-for-18 skid over his last eight games has brought Mateo's season line down to .196/.248/.329. He has 19 stolen bases and will make highlight plays at shortstop on occasion, but his struggles at the dish may finally start affecting his playing time. Richie Martin starts at shortstop in Mateo's absence.

Launches sixth homer Mateo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 9-2 win over the Mariners.
Impact Mateo has gone yard twice in his last three games, and he now has six homers on the year. He's shown decent pop for a shortstop with a .140 ISO in 68 contests. The 27-year-old is slashing .201/.250/.341 with 19 stolen bases, 18 RBI and 24 runs scored across 246 plate appearances, and he's taken on a near-everyday role this year.

Hits fifth homer Mateo went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, a walk and three runs scored in a 6-2 win over the White Sox on Saturday.
Impact Mateo isn't known for his power bat, but the speedster had an excellent night at the plate with two extra-base hits, including his fifth home run of the season. The No. 9 hitter has a paltry .583 OPS this season, but he is 19-for-22 in steal attempts and is tied for the second-most stolen bases in MLB.

Swipes pair of bases Mateo went 0-for-2 with a walk, a hit by pitch, two stolen bases and a run scored in Friday's 4-1 win over the White Sox.
Impact Mateo has gone a poor 3-for-30 over his last 10 games, but he's still found a way to rack up five stolen bases in that span. The shortstop is up to 19 steals in 22 attempts this year. The weak hitting lately has dropped his season slash line to .196/.241/.311 with four home runs, 16 RBI and 20 runs scored in 65 contests overall.

Steals base in win Mateo went 0-for-2 with a stolen base during Sunday's 2-1 win over the Rays.
Impact Mateo wasn't able to generate much offensive production during Sunday's low-scoring matchup, but he stole his 17th base of the season. The 26-year-old has hit just .063 with an RBI and five strikeouts over the last five games, but he ranks third in the majors with 17 stolen bases to begin the season.

Swipes two more bags Tuesday Mateo went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Blue Jays.
Impact The veteran speedster ran wild in the sixth inning as he took advantage of the battery of Trevor Richards and rookie catcher Gabriel Moreno to collect his 15th and 16th steals of the year. Mateo is one behind Julio Rodriguez for the major-league lead in the category, but he's added very little fantasy value otherwise with a .214/.249/.344 slash line, four homers, 15 RBI and 18 runs through 56 games.

Snaps skid with three-run blast Mateo went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Cubs.

He had gone 0-for-13 in his first five games in June prior to the long ball Tuesday. The shortstop is up to a .210/.240/.352 slash line with four homers, 15 RBI, 15 runs scored and 13 stolen bases through 51 contests.
