Baltimore Orioles third baseman Jordan Westburg (finger) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers. Westburg is set to miss his fifth game in a row due to a left finger sprain. It doesn't sound like the O's plan to place Westburg on the injured list despite him missing eight of the last 10 games. This is obviously a frustrating situation for fantasy managers, but they will have to remain patient. Ramon Urias will cover third base and bat seventh versus right-hander Nathan Eovaldi on Wednesday.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg (finger) remains absent from the team's starting lineup as the series continues in Texas against the Rangers on Tuesday. Ramon Urias gets another start at third base and will bat seventh against Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom. Westburg said on Monday that he expects his finger to be less than 100% for a while, but he was still optimistic that he could return in a few days. He's missing his fourth straight game after aggravating his sprained left index finger in the series opener last Friday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Fantasy managers shouldn't rule out another trip to the injured list for Westburg, who just hasn't been able to get going in 2025 amid multiple injuries. Urias is a glove-first infielder that doesn't have much offensive upside, so we'd suggest fading him in DFS against deGrom.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg (finger) said his injured left index finger won't be 100 percent for a while, according to MASN's Roch Kubatko. Westburg is shooting for "good enough," though, and is hoping to return to the starting lineup in a day or two. The 26-year-old infielder aggravated his finger injury in Friday's series opener against the Tampa Bay Rays and hasn't played since. It's not great news for his fantasy managers, but Westburg was able to swing a bat on Sunday and could be back in the starting lineup as the series against the Rangers in Texas continues on Tuesday. If Westburg's finger gets worse and he's forced to miss more time, veteran Ramon Urias will continue to start at the hot corner for Baltimore. Westburg has only played in 36 games in 2025 due to injuries and is hitting just .228 (31-for-136) with seven homers after hitting a career-high 18 long balls in 2024.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg (finger) remains out of the starting lineup for Monday's series opener on the road in Texas against the Rangers. Ramon Urias will make another start at third base and will bat fifth against Rangers left-hander Patrick Corbin. Westburg aggravated a left index-finger injury on Friday and will now miss his third straight start. While the 26-year-old is considered day-to-day, the chances of him going back on the injured list are increasing each day he's held out. However, he was able to swing the bat on Sunday. After being a first-time All-Star last year, Westburg has struggled in 2025 while struggling to stay healthy, slashing .228/.286/.434 with seven home runs, 14 RBI, 20 runs and one steal in 136 at-bats. He's the team's starting third baseman when healthy. Urias is hitting .333 with two RBI in nine career at-bats against Corbin.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg (finger) remains out of the team's starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays at Camden Yards. Ramon Urias gets another start at third base and will hit second against Rays right-hander Taj Bradley. Westburg injured his left index finger last Saturday and missed a few games before aggravating his finger in Friday's series opener against Tampa. The 26-year-old will miss a second straight game and could be forced back to the injured list to close out the first half of the season if he's unable to return to the lineup next week. His next chance to return will be on Monday in Texas against the Rangers. According to interim manager Tony Mansolino, Westburg is likely to return early next week. Urias doesn't have much pop in his bat but does have a solo homer in four career at-bats against Bradley.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg (finger) will not require a stint on the 10-day injured list, interim manager Tony Mansolino said Saturday. Westburg aggravated a left index finger injury on Friday and was out of the lineup Saturday against the Tampa Bay Rays as a result. He could miss "a couple of days," according to Mansolino. The 26-year-old has already spent over a month on the IL this season with a strained left hamstring. Since returning on June 10, Westburg has hit a solid .250/.327/.523 with three homers, eight RBI, and eight runs scored.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg (finger) is not starting in Saturday's contest against the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays at Camden Yards. Ramon Urias is at third base and will occupy the two-hole in the batting order versus Rays right-hander Zack Littell. Westburg aggravated his left index finger injury during Friday's blowout victory over Tampa and will miss at least one more game. Depending on how the 26-year-old recovers, it's possible he'll be forced to head back to the injured list to close out the first half of the season. But for now, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. Westburg was a first-time All-Star in 2024 with 18 homers and 63 RBI for the O's, but it's been an injury-riddled 2025 so far, and he's hit just .228 (31-for-136) with seven homers and 14 RBI in 36 games. Urias has two hits in 10 career at-bats against Littell.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg (finger) was forced to make an early exit from Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Westburg appears to have re-aggravated his left finger injury during a head-first slide on a double. He stayed in to run the bases, but Westburg was replaced by Ramon Urias afterwards. The assumption is that Westburg will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. He finished this game 1-for-1 with a double. Urias figures to see increased playing time if Westburg misses a few games.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg (finger) is back at third base and is hitting out of the two-hole for Wednesday's contest in Baltimore against the visiting Texas Rangers and right-hander Jacob deGrom at Camden Yards. Westburg will be returning to the lineup for the first time since spraining his left index finger while sliding last Saturday. The 26-year-old has missed a lot of time this year due to injury and is hitting just .229 (30-for-131) on the year with seven home runs, 14 RBI, 20 runs scored and a stolen base. Westburg isn't going to be a very popular DFS play against deGrom despite being in a cushy lineup spot in the two-hole. Since returning from the injured list on June 10, Westburg has gone 10-for-39 (.256) with three home runs, two doubles, eight RBI, a steal and eight runs scored in 11 games played.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg (finger) is expected to return to the lineup Wednesday or Friday this week. Per interim manager, Tony Mansolino, he said, "I do think Westy is doing well. We had to decide on whether he would get in the lineup tonight earlier, and he was probably closer than we thought. I think all indications are we'll probably see him Wednesday, and if we don't see him tomorrow, we'll see him Friday", Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. Westburg missed his third game in a row on Tuesday with a sprained left index finger, and it sounds like he will return to the lineup soon, possibly even Wednesday. Westburg injured his finger last Saturday while sliding into second base, and although X-rays did not reveal any structural damage, it did sideline him for a handful of days. Fantasy managers can expect to insert him back into their lineups sooner rather than later. Westburg has left fantasy managers with much to be desired, slashing only .229/.289/.435 with seven home runs, 14 RBI, and 20 runs scored in 131 at-bats.

Ramon Urias will make another start at third base and bat fifth against Rangers left-hander Jacob Latz. While the Orioles expect Westburg to avoid another trip to the injured list, this will now be his third straight missed game after spraining his left index finger last Saturday. Interim manager Tony Mansolino expects the 26-year-old to return to the starting lineup by Friday's series opener against the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays. Urias brings limited power and speed upside at the plate and has gone just 2-for-22 with a home runs, two RBI and six strikeouts in 25 trips to the plate over his last seven games, dating back to June 16.UPDATE: Mansolino said that all indications are that Westburg will return on Wednesday.

X-rays were negative, but he was diagnosed with a left index finger sprain and held out of the lineup on Sunday and Monday. According to the latest report from MASN's Roch Kubatko, Westburg will avoid an IL stint and could even return to the lineup on Tuesday. He is hitting only .229 in his 34 games this season, but does have seven homers and a .315 wOBA. Westburg missed extended time earlier this season with a hamstring strain, and he was just starting to find a groove before this latest injury. Since coming off IL in early June, he is 10-for-39 (.256) with three homers and a 58.3% hard-hit rate. If someone in your league bails on Westburg, he could be a nice infield addition.

Ramon Urias will start at the hot corner and will bat fifth against Rangers left-hander Patrick Corbin. Westburg suffered a sprained left index finger on Saturday and was still sore and unable to fully grip a bat on Sunday, so he'll be missing his second straight game to begin the new week. According to interim manager Tony Mansolino, the team is hopeful that the 26-year-old can return to the lineup in the next two to three days. After a breakout season in 2024 in which he was a first-time All-Star, it's been a disappointing season in 2025 due to injuries. Westburg does have seven homers in 34 games, but he's hitting just .229 (30-for-131). Urias has hit .333 with two RBI in a small sample size of six career at-bats against Corbin.

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Jordan Westburg (finger) is not in Sunday's lineup when the Orioles conclude a series against the New York Yankees. Westburg was lifted from Saturday's game after he injured his finger while attempting to steal a base. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as the Orioles could keep him sidelined during the start of the week as well. Westburg has already had a stint on the injured list this season due to a hamstring injury. However, when on the field, Westburg has been productive. Over his last 11 games prior to suffering this finger injury, Westburg posted an impressive .256/.341/.538 slash line with two doubles, three home runs, one stolen base, and a 15:4 K:BB. This afternoon, the Orioles will give Ramon Urias the starting nod at the hot corner.

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Jordan Westburg went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 11-2 win against the visiting Los Angeles Angels. He also singled, drew a walk, and scored thrice. Westburg reached base on three instances for the second time in four games and hit his third long ball since returning from the injured list just under a week ago. It was the seventh time he's gone yard this season. The 26-year-old has picked up where he left off before landing on the IL, batting .312 (15-for-48) with three doubles, one triple, four homers, 10 RBI, and eight runs scored over his last 12 appearances.

Ramon Urias will start at third base and will bat seventh against Angels right-hander Jack Kochanowicz. Westburg recently returned from the injured list with a hamstring injury and went 3-for-11 in his first three games back this week with two home runs, a double, four RBI and two runs scored. It's a great sign for an Orioles team that has been one of the biggest disappointments of 2025. The 26-year-old is the team's primary third baseman when healthy and is now hitting .223/.279/.447 on the season with six home runs, 10 RBI and 14 runs in just 103 at-bats. Urias is a glove-first infielder with little pop that won't be recommended in DFS lineups.

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Jordan Westburg went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a double in Wednesday's 10-1 win against the Tigers. This is about as good of a return as you can ask for, with the 26-year-old homering in back-to-back games after getting activated off the injured list. There's seemingly no rust to shake off after missing over a month with a hamstring strain. He's still slashing only .232/.290/.465 thanks to an underwhelming April, but the youngster still has the upside to be a high-end third baseman for fantasy if he returns to his 2024 form.

The Baltimore Orioles announced on Tuesday that they reinstated infielder Jordan Westburg (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list and designated infielder Emmanuel Rivera for assignment in a corresponding move. The Orioles haven't released their lineup for Tuesday's game against the visiting Detroit Tigers, but Westburg figures to be back in there against left-hander Brant Hurter. The 26-year-old has been out since late April with a strained left hamstring, but he should be the club's starting third baseman now that he's back. In his eight minor-league rehab games with Norfolk, he went 11-for-28 with two home runs. Fantasy managers will be hoping he can carry that over after a slow start with the bat before his injury. The former first-rounder went 20-for-92 (.217) with four homers and six RBI in his first 23 games. Westburg was an All-Star in 2023 and hit 18 bombs in 107 games played.
