Ryan Mountcastle Feeling Better, Could Pinch-Hit Thursday
8 months agoBaltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde says that first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (shoulder) is not an "injured list candidate" after an MRI revealed no damage on his left shoulder. Better yet, the 26-year-old could even be available off the bench for Thursday's divisional clash with the Tampa Bay Rays, per Hyde. Mountcastle had a sluggish start to the year before heating up in a big way post-All-Star break, but he's back to slumping again. The slugger is hitting .177 (6-for-34) with no extra-base hits in his last 10 games. With Mountcastle just day-to-day, there seems to be a good chance he's back in the fold for Saturday's action.
