Orioles Place Ryan Mountcastle on 10-Day Injured List With Hamstring Strain

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle left Friday's game against the Chicago White Sox due to right hamstring discomfort and was subsequently placed on the 10-day injured list. Before exiting the game, Mountcastle had a notable performance going 2-for-3 with two singles and stealing home for his first stolen base of the season. The Orioles responded to his injury by recalling outfielder Jordyn Adams and infield prospect Coby Mayo from Triple-A Norfolk and adjusting their lineup with Ryan O'Hearn and Emmanuel Rivera potentially sharing duties at first base. Mountcastle's injury was considered a right hamstring strain, and he was expected to be re-evaluated with an initial outlook of missing at least 10 days. Prior to the injury, Mountcastle had a subpar season offensively but showed signs of improvement in recent games. The Orioles plan to provide updates on his recovery as further tests are conducted.
