Jordan Westburg Stats

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg (undisclosed) was removed from Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox with an undisclosed injury. The 24-year-old was pulled during the seventh inning and replaced by Ramon Urias in Saturday's contest. "Everyone has little things," said Orioles manager Brandon Hyde. He went 3-for-4 with a home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 13-12 win over the Red Sox. The Orioles rookie was a triple shy of the cycle. Westburg is considered day-to-day, and his next chance to return to the lineup will be Sunday for the series finale against Boston. Overall, Westburg is slashing .277/.326/.439 with three home runs, 21 RBI, 24 runs, and four stolen bases over 54 games in 2023. Urias would see an uptick in at-bats if Westburg were to miss any games.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg is out of Thursday's lineup versus the Toronto Blue Jays. Adam Frazier (hand) returns to step in at second base to bat ninth, and he is not a recommended play while going just 1-for-10 in his career vs. right-hander Jose Berrios. The 24-year-old Westburg is yet to stand out with the bat during his first taste of big-league play, hitting .266 with a .706 OPS, two home runs, 10 doubles, 17 RBI, and three stolen bases in 143 at-bats. Dynasty managers would like to see him get going down the stretch and those in redraft leagues might be able to do better at this point, but Westburg should remain atop fantasy watchlists.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg is not in Thursday's lineup against the Tampa Bay Rays. Gunnar Henderson is leading off versus right-hander Tyler Glasnow and manning third base while Jorge Mateo hits ninth and slots in at shortstop. Westburg remains in a part-time role in Baltimore, but he's batting a promising .276 with a .747 OPS, two doubles, three triples, and seven RBI in the first 58 at-bats of his major-league career. The 24-year-old may be a tough hold in shallow leagues with the limited playing time, but fantasy managers in deeper formats should hang on to the No. 3 Orioles prospect while he's up in the bigs.
