Orioles announced four rosters on Saturday, including first baseman news Ryan Mountcastle Because of the right hamstring strain, it has been placed on the list of injured 10 days. Top Infield Prospects Coby Mayo Called from Norfolk and outfielder Jordyn Adams His contract will also move from Triple-A after choosing his contract as Baltimore’s active roster. To create space in a 40-man lineup, the receiver Chadwick Tromp Is specified as an assignment.
Mountcastle won the Orioles 2-1 against the White Sox yesterday but won the game yesterday, but the first baseman left the game after a few innings due to the described hamstring discomfort. Interim manager Tony Mansolino told reporters (including Matt Weyrich of the Baltimore Sun) that Mountcastle will be doing an MRI today.
Like most Orioles rosters, Mountcastle started a tough start in 2025 with just .246/.280/.348 Slash Line that can show 200 sets of appearances. This is a huge investment from Mountcastle, who was released in his first five seasons as a regular season in the O lineup. Traditionally, Mountcastle has enough strength to overcome the total number of minor walks and strikeouts, but despite his barrel and barrel rate meeting his career norms, his isolated force is only .102 (much lower than his .185 career number before 2025).
In this case, this IL job could be seen as a potential reset of Mount Castle’s season, and his absence allowed Mayo to shoot another shot in the case of determining himself at the MLB level. Mayo has been called up some limited positions in the Grand Slam over the past two seasons, reaching only .094/.186/.094 in 59 PA’s game against major league pitching. Even these extreme struggles can be shedded as a small sample size, although Mayo’s dominance of triple pitches has also declined as he has a moderate .226/.318/.452 slash on Norfolk’s 195 PA.
Apparently, it is too early to write a game from a fourth-round pick in the 2020 draft to a list of top 100 prospects. Mayo didn’t have much time with Baltimore due to the team’s crowded infield, but perhaps out of the Monkey’s paw fashion, with some opportunities now emerging due to the Orioles’ disastrous start and the damage from most of the day-to-day lineups.
Mountcastle joins Jordan Westburg,,,,, Colton Cowser,,,,, Cedric Mullins,,,,, Taylor O’Neill,,,,, Gary Sanchezand Ramon Laureano Among the Orioles position participants in Illinois. Between this group and several pitchers, the Orioles could not form a stumbling block, reaching a record of 20-36.
Westburg and Cowser are both on Triple-A rehabilitation tasks and may recover in a relatively short period of time. However, with Mullins hitting Illinois yesterday, the Orioles will cover up their outfield by joining Adams, who signed a minor league contract with the team during the offseason.
Adams has reached 0.212/.316/.345 in Triple-A this season, with his major league record including .176/.205/.216 Slash series in 78 PA, with the Angels vs. the Angels in the 2023-24 season. Adams gained top 100 attention in his Halos farm system during Halos’ farm system, where he can play all three outfield positions and is a nice bench until Cowser returns.
Tromp was also a minor league signing in April, and he was selected for the Major League Baseball roster earlier this week due to concerns Adley Rutschman It may take 7 days to serve in the IL related to concussion. Since Razman ends up with only a few days off Maverick Handli Tromp, at hand, has appeared briefly twice in his Baltimore roster, and will now head to DFA Limbo.
Tromp has had at least a little action in each of the last six MLB seasons, showing up in a total of 63 games with the Giants, Braves and Orioles over 2020-25 years. Tromp is the minor league choice, so O has to assign him and expose him to the exempt wire before trying to send him to Triple-A. If Tromp clears the immunity, he can reject the direct mission of Triple-A, as he has been completely eliminated in his career before. Given the crowded depth maps of Rutschman, Handley and Sanchez, it remains to be seen whether Tromp can choose to move forward from the Orioles, as Tromp may prefer to join a team with a more clear major league game time.
