Coby Mayo OK After Being Hit By Pitch
Baltimore Orioles third base prospect Coby Mayo (hand) is OK after being hit by a pitch on his right hand in Monday's Grapefruit League contest against the division-rival Boston Red Sox, according to manager Brandon Hyde. The skipper added that Mayo will be checked out on Tuesday, but he expects everything to be OK. It's great news for Mayo, who was in a lot of pain after being hit by a 96 mph sinker. It's possible that the 23-year-old could be back in spring training action by Wednesday. The former fourth-rounder in 2020 came into Monday's spring game hitting just .180 (7-for-39) with three doubles, three RBI, eight runs scored and 13 strikeouts in 42 plate appearances over 16 games. Mayo made his big-league debut in 2024 but struggled by going 4-for-41 (.098) with four walks and 22 K's in 17 games played. He's going to begin the year at Triple-A Norfolk but should once again see time in the majors at some point, likely as a backup.
