**Summary:**
The Baltimore Orioles are dealing with a significant number of injuries, with Ryan Mountcastle being the latest to land on the 10-day IL with a hamstring strain. In response, the Orioles have recalled top prospect Coby Mayo and selected the contract of outfielder Jordyn Adams from Triple-A. To make room for Adams, catcher Chadwick Tromp was designated for assignment. Manager Tony Mansolino expressed hope that Mountcastle’s injury isn’t too severe. Mayo will get opportunities at first and third base, while Adams will provide outfield depth, particularly in center field, and be used as a pinch-hitter/defensive replacement. Other injured outfielders like Colton Cowser and Tyler O’Neill are working their way back, with O’Neill expected to continue his rehab in Seattle. The Orioles are focused on winning despite the injury challenges.

**Injury Bug Bites Orioles: Mountcastle Out, Mayo & Adams Called Up**
**BALTIMORE, MD** – The Baltimore Orioles were forced to make a series of roster moves Saturday following a rash of injuries, most notably the placement of first baseman Ryan Mountcastle on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain. Mountcastle’s injury comes just a day after outfielder Cedric Mullins also landed on the IL, leaving the Orioles shorthanded as they try to climb back into contention.
“MRI this morning, don’t know the severity just yet,” interim manager Tony Mansolino said. “We’ll go from there. … Optimistic — hopeful is probably the better word. Just hopeful that it’s not too bad, but we’ll probably find out more later today or tomorrow.”
To fill the void, the Orioles have recalled top prospect Coby Mayo, ranked No. 17 overall by MLB Pipeline, from Triple-A Norfolk. They also selected the contract of outfielder Jordyn Adams from Norfolk, designating catcher Chadwick Tromp for assignment to create room on the 40-man roster.
This will be Mayo’s second Major League stint this season, and the Orioles plan to give him opportunities at first base and third. While Mayo is eager to prove himself and hopes for consistent playing time, Mansolino emphasized the need to balance development with winning.
“I think any player will tell you, it’s definitely more comfortable when you’re playing every day,” Mayo said. “But obviously those things are out of your control. You have to come in here and make your opportunities worth it when you get those, and that’s what I’m trying to do.”
Adams will primarily serve as a pinch-hitter and late-inning defensive replacement, especially in center field, with several outfielders sidelined. Colton Cowser and Tyler O’Neill are continuing their rehab assignments with Cowser in high A and O’Neill in Seattle.
“We need outfielders and center field help,” Mansolino said.
The Mountcastle injury marks the 12th player currently on the Orioles’ injured list. Despite the mounting challenges, the team is determined to compete.
“There’s no sympathy in this game,” Mansolino added. “And it’s kind of a hard line to draw. But I promise you, as many games as we’ve won here in Baltimore the past two years, the other 29 teams do not feel sorry for us.”
