PROSPECT: Jordan Westburg, SS, Baltimore Orioles
ANALYSIS: The Baltimore Orioles are planning to call up top infield prospect Jordan Westburg from Triple-A Norfolk before Monday's game, according to a source. Westburg has hit an impressive .295/.372/.567 with a .939 OPS, 18 home runs, 15 doubles, two triples, 54 RBI, six stolen bases, and 57 runs scored in 67 games for Norfolk to earn his first major-league call-up.
The 24-year-old right-handed hitter is ranked as Baltimore's No. 3 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and should see regular playing time. Fantasy managers should scoop him up immediately, even in mixed leagues, and he could quickly become eligible at multiple positions. Westburg will make his MLB debut on Monday against the Cincinnati Reds and left-hander Brandon Williamson.
VERDICT: Westburg's power in a dangerous O's lineup is very intriguing. He should be added in all league formats.
