Jordan Westburg's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg (hand) remains out of the team's starting lineup on Friday against the visiting Tampa Bay Rays after he was hit by a pitch on the right hand/wrist area on Tuesday against the Boston Red Sox. Westburg is considered day-to-day going into the weekend after X-rays on his hand/wrist came back negative, and he could return to action as soon as the second game of the series on Saturday. With the 25-year-old missing his second straight game, Ramon Urias will man the hot corner and bat eighth in the lineup against Rays right-hander Aaron Civale. Urias hit just his second home run of the season in Wednesday's win over the Red Sox but remains a low-upside DFS play at the bottom of Baltimore's batting order. Westburg has been a lineup staple for the O's in 2024 and is currently slashing .291/.351/.508 with an .859 OPS with eight homers, 34 RBI and five thefts.

While X-rays on Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg's right hand/wrist came back negative, he is not in the team's starting lineup on Wednesday against the visiting Boston Red Sox. Fantasy managers will need to remove Westburg from their starting lineups on Wednesday, but he's feeling a lot better and should have a good chance to return for Friday's series opener against the visiting Tampa Bay Rays after a scheduled off day on Thursday. The 25-year-old was hit in the right hand by a pitch in Tuesday's loss to Boston and should be considered day-to-day for now. Ramon Urias is at third base for the O's on Wednesday and will bat eighth against Red Sox right-hander Kutter Crawford. Urias will be a poor choice for DFS lineups in the eight-hole while also coming into Wednesday's game with a .194 average and just one homer in 62 at-bats this year.

Westburg was having a rough week at the plate, coming into the game with a .154 average over the last seven days before his Memorial Day Weekend bash. Overall, this year, Westburg has enjoyed a rotisserie-friendly sophomore season and is now up to a .285 batting average with eight homers and 31 RBI in 48 games; the power is a very nice surprise after only three home runs in 68 games in 2023.

Saturday's game-winner was his second walk-off hit of the season for Westburg, who came into the season without ever recording one in his entire career.

Westburg is starting at second base and batting seventh against Yankees right-hander Clarke Schmidt. Fantasy managers will want to get the 25-year-old back into all starting fantasy lineups, as he's hit a strong .304/.360/.543 on the year with a .903 OPS, five home runs, 19 RBI and four stolen bases in 92 at-bats over his first 25 games played. Westburg isn't as attractive in DFS formats in the seven-hole. He has one hit in his two career at-bats against Schmidt.
