Jorge Mateo Returns To Lineup
2 years agoBaltimore Orioles shortstop Jorge Mateo (ankle) is back in the starting lineup on Sunday against the New York Yankees and left-hander Nestor Cortes. Mateo is playing shortstop and hitting seventh, while Gunnar Henderson is at third base and batting eighth in the lineup. The 27-year-old Mateo was held out of Saturday's lineup due to a sore ankle, but he'll return for the series finale. He's been great for the O's and fantasy managers through his first six games, hitting .350 (7-for-20) with two home runs, five RBI, seven runs scored and five stolen bases in 24 plate appearances. Mateo is a solid source of steals in deep-mixed leagues as long as he's playing regularly. Henderson, meanwhile, has been slow out of the gates with four hits in 24 at-bats, a home run and two RBI.
