Racks up three hits Mountcastle went 3-for-5 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Thursday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Marlins.

Impact Mountcastle plated the Orioles' winning run in the 10th inning, as his line drive knocked in initial runner Jordan Westburg. Mountcastle was then thrown out trying to stretch it to a double, and Cedric Mullins was also out at home. Over his last 10 games, Mountcastle is 12-for-38 (.316) with just two extra-base hits and two RBI. The first baseman is slashing .271/.310/.441 on the year, adding 12 home runs, 44 RBI, 45 runs scored, 23 doubles and three stolen bases through 93 contests.

Taking seat Wednesday Mountcastle is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Impact After going 0-for-8 with three strikeouts in the Orioles' series with the Rangers over the weekend, Mountcastle bounced back with a pair of hits in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to Miami.

Sitting Saturday Mountcastle is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Rangers.

Notches third steal Mountcastle went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Yankees.

Impact Mountcastle's steal was his third of the year, putting him one shy of matching his career high. The first baseman's speed isn't notable, but he's been steady at the plate, going 10-for-40 (.250) over 10 contests in July. Overall, he's slashing .271/.311.,447 with 12 home runs, 43 RBI, 44 runs scored, 22 doubles and a triple through 88 games this season.

It's a bit of a slump for the first baseman, but not one that has cost him playing time, though he has dropped in the order versus right-handers. He's slashing .272/.314/.454 with 12 home runs, 42 RBI, 44 runs scored, 21 doubles and two stolen bases across 84 games this season.

JULY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Thursday Mountcastle isn't in the Orioles' lineup for Thursday's game versus Seattle.

Impact Mountcastle went 1-for-4 with an RBI during his first game back from an illness Wednesday, and he'll now get another day to rest against Bryce Miller and the Mariners. Ryan O'Hearn will move to first base as a result, allowing Heston Kjerstad to serve as the DH.

Still out Tuesday Mountcastle (illness) isn't in the Orioles' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

JULY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting versus lefty Mountcastle is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact The 27-year-old's omission from the lineup is surprising since southpaw Andrew Heaney is taking the mound for Texas. Mountcastle has an .853 OPS versus lefties this season and was also held out of the lineup for Saturday's contest, so it's possible he's dealing with an injury or illness, though nothing has been reported at this point. The lefty-hitting Ryan O'Hearn will instead start at first base Sunday.

JUNE 30 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies three hits Mountcastle went 3-for-5 with a double and one run scored in Tuesday's 10-8 loss to the Guardians.

Impact Mountcastle has four multi-hit efforts over his last seven games, going 11-for-28 (.393) in that span. While he hasn't hit a homer since June 7, he's still been consistent at the plate while occupying a starting role at first base. The 27-year-old is slashing .281/.325/.476 with 11 homers, 39 RBI, 43 runs scored, 21 doubles, one triple and two stolen bases over 74 games this season.

Impact Mountcastle appears to be getting a routine breather for the series opener versus the Guardians after he had started in each of Baltimore's last nine games while slashing .282/.310/.385 with seven RBI and six runs. With Mountcastle taking a seat, Ryan O'Hearn will pick up a start at first base.

JUNE 24 • ROTOWIRE

Hitting bench Wednesday Mountcastle is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Impact After playing the final three innings of Tuesday's suspended game earlier Wednesday and finishing 1-for-3 in Baltimore's 3-1 loss, Mountcastle will get a breather for the regularly scheduled game. Ryan O'Hearn will step in for Mountcastle at first base.

MAY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to lineup Wednesday Mountcastle (knee) will start at first base and bat third in Wednesday's game versus the Angels.

Impact Mountcastle missed two games with some knee soreness but is feeling well enough to give it a go Wednesday against left-hander Tyler Anderson. The 27-year-old is sporting a .333/.395/.507 batting line with two home runs over 20 contests this season.

APRIL 24 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Knee soreness kept Mountcastle from playing in Monday's contest, though manager Brandon Hyde said the 27-year-old was available off the bench for that game.

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.

Impact 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.

MARCH 20 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Mountcastle is expected to return to Baltimore's lineup within the next couple of days as he fights off his illness. The 27-year-old first baseman slashed .270/.328/.452 with 18 homers and 68 RBI last season and has been held hitless through six at-bats so far this spring.

He stood in and took pitches during a Felix Bautista (elbow) bullpen session Saturday, and he's 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.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
