Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (illness) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. The right-handed slugger will make his return to the lineup after missing each of the last two games due to an illness. He'll bat cleanup and serve as the designated hitter on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should make sure to get Mountcastle back in their lineups ahead of first pitch.
Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (illness) remains out of the starting lineup for the third straight game on Tuesday against the Seattle Mariners. The 27-year-old continues to sit out due to ongoing illness. This sounds like a minor issue that shouldn't force Mountcastle onto the injured list. In his absence, Ryan O'Hearn covers first base while Heston Kjerstad serves as the designated hitter for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.
Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle, rookie outfielder Colton Cowser and infielder Jorge Mateo are all out of Monday's lineup against the visiting Cleveland Guardians. Ryan O'Hearn is playing first base and batting third, rookie Heston Kjerstad is in left field and is batting fifth, and Ramon Urias is at third base and in the eight-hole against Guardians right-hander Tanner Bibee. Mountcastle is getting a routine day of rest after starting in each of the team's last nine games. Cowser is hitting .175 in June and has now been on the bench three of the last five times the club has faced a righty pitcher. The 24-year-old could see even less playing time if Kjerstad plays well upon his promotion. Mateo is on the bench for the third time in the last five games and is losing playing time to both Urias and Jordan Westburg.
Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle went 3-for-6 with a walk in a 17-5 victory against the division rival New York Yankees on Thursday. The first baseman also drove in four runs in the contest. Mountcastle has never been a sexy name in the fantasy world, but he continues to put up solid numbers on a yearly basis. The 27-year-old got off to a slow start, but turned his season around as he has been on fire the past month with a .311 batting average to go along with five homers and 19 RBI. Mountcastle should continue to get the job done for managers, but he also makes for a good sell-high candidate as this stretch will probably be the best of his season. Regardless, Mountcastle should be rostered in most formats with the way he has been hitting the ball.
Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle hit a pair of homers during Saturday's 9-5 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. Mountcastle swatted two-run home runs in the first and fourth innings, finishing the day with four RBI and three runs scored. The 27-year-old has logged a hit in eight of his last nine games, including 11 hits in his previous 26 at-bats. Mountcastle is slashing .293/.333/.505 with eight homers, 24 RBI, and 31 runs over 51 games this season. Batting cleanup in the potent Orioles lineup makes Mountcastle a must-start.
