Ryan Mountcastle's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (wrist) was pulled from Thursday's 6-0 shutout loss against the Houston Astros early at Camden Yards due to a sore wrist, according to manager Brandon Hyde. Mountcastle went 1-for-3 with a double and a strikeout in the contest before Ryan O'Hearn moved from right field to first base to replace him. The injury stemmed from when the 27-year-old dove head-first into second base in the second inning, but he stayed in the game until being replaced in the ninth. We'll have a better idea of how much time Mountcastle might be forced to miss after he undergoes tests on his wrist. At the very least, fantasy managers should expect him to be out for the second game of the series against Houston on Friday. If Mountcastle's injury is serious enough to put him on the injured list, O'Hearn would be in line for more starts at the cold corner in Baltimore.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's contest against the Cleveland Guardians. This appears to be a routine rest day after Mountcastle played in eight straight games. He collected eight hits and nine RBI over that span of games. In his place, Eloy Jimenez will serve as the designated hitter while Ryan O'Hearn plays first base versus right-hander Gavin Williams. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups ahead of first pitch.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the visiting San Diego Padres. Ryan O'Hearn will take his spot at first base and will bat cleanup for the struggling O's against Padres right-hander Michael King. O'Hearn is much more attractive in DFS against right-handed pitchers and has a home run and two RBI in three career at-bats against King. Although Mountcastle does have two multi-hit games since the All-Star break, overall he's gone 5-for-21 (.238) with no homers, a double, three RBI and seven strikeouts in six games since the Midsummer Classic. He's also homered just once in the month of July. The 27-year-old has been a decent source of power as a corner infielder in deep-mixed leagues with 12 bombs and 46 RBI in 94 games in 2024.

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.
