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

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg will not play on Friday for the second game of the series against the visiting Texas Rangers. Westburg will take a seat after starting in each of the team's last eight games. He'll make way for Jorge Mateo at second base, while Ramon Urias starts at the hot corner. Mateo is hitting eighth and Urias is in the six-hole against Rangers right-hander Max Scherzer. Mateo is hitless in just one career at-bat against Scherzer, while Urias has never faced him. Westburg has been a lineup regular in a potent Orioles batting order all year and has been very productive, hitting .286 (82-for-287) with 13 home runs, 48 RBI, six stolen bases and 40 runs scored for Baltimore. The 25-year-old should return to Saturday's starting lineup.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg (hip) is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale in the Bronx against the division-rival New York Yankees and right-hander Luis Gil, playing second base and batting sixth in the order. Ramon Urias will get another start at third base and will bat out of the nine-hole. Westburg bruised his left hip in Tuesday's game and missed the contest on Wednesday. The 25-year-old has been a lineup regular for the O's this year at either second or third base, and he's hitting a useful .277/.331/.502 with an .833 OPS, 11 home runs, 42 RBI, six stolen bases and 37 runs scored in 253 at-bats in a strong Orioles lineup. He's cooled off a bit in June, though, going 15-for-64 (.234) with three homers, three doubles, two triples, eight RBI, one steal and 14 strikeouts in 16 games.

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jordan Westburg had a strong night at the plate in his team's 6-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday. Westburg went 2-for-4 with a homer and two RBI in the winning effort. The 25-year-old's two-run homer in the eighth inning traveled 369 feet and had an exit velocity of 101 MPH. Westburg is now hitting .280 with 10 homers, 32 runs, 38 RBI, and six steals across 218 at-bats for the O's in 2024. His power production this season has been a pleasant surprise after he hit just three homers in 208 at-bats last season as a rookie. Westburg is worth a spot in starting lineups in deeper fantasy leagues moving forward.
