Ryan Mountcastle Scratched On Thursday
10 months agoBaltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle was scratched from the Grapefruit League lineup on Thursday against the Pirates. There was no reason given for why Mountcastle will not play, but we'll update you if it was injury-related. Tyler Nevin ended up taking his place at first base and hit third in the lineup. Mountcastle went on the injured list last year in June due to vertigo and missed a month, but when he returned, he started crushing the ball and finished the regular season with a .270/.328/.452 slash line, 18 home runs, 68 RBI and 64 runs scored in 423 at-bats in his third full major-league season. Mountcastle resides in a great lineup and hitting environment, but there are injury concerns. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 26 fantasy first baseman.
