Jordan Westburg Fantasy Stats

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg (oblique) continues to rehab his strained oblique and feels "pretty good," per Andy Kostka of the Baltimore Banner. The 26-year-old Westburg missed large chunks of time in both 2024 and 2025 due to injury, so to pick up an injury already in the preseason is concerning, especially since the right-handed slugger stated that he tried to prepare his body this offseason so that he could avoid the injury bug this year. When on the field, though, the former 30th-overall draft pick has been productive, slashing .265/.312/.470 with a .336 wOBA and 120 wRC+ in 192 games over the last two years. Currently slotted in at third base for the O's, the Mississippi State product could also occupy second base for the injured Jackson Holliday (hand) if need be, both of which he's position-eligible for on Yahoo!. As it stands, Westburg is not in jeopardy of missing Opening Day, but it's a situation to monitor. RotoBaller has him ranked at 139 overall for fantasy, a bit lower than his NFBC ADP of 128.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg (oblique) is dealing with a strained oblique and will be slow-played to start spring training, according to Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun. President of baseball operations Mike Elias said he doesn't expect Westburg to play in Grapefruit League games right away, but he's not currently in jeopardy of missing Opening Day in late March. It's something to watch for the 26-year-old this spring. Baltimore's starting infield is a bit banged up early on, with starting second baseman Jackson Holliday (hand) set to open the regular season on the injured list with a broken hamate bone. Westburg missed extended stretches in 2025 due to injury as well, first with a hamstring injury, and then due to a right-ankle sprain. When healthy, he makes enough contact and has enough power to be a worthy corner-infield bat. Westburg should be a lock for 20 homers if he can stay healthy.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg was an All-Star in his second MLB season in 2024, when he hit .264/.312/.481 with a .792 OPS and career-highs in home runs (18) and RBI (63) in 107 games played. Westburgh took a slight step back in 2025 and played in just 85 games. The 26-year-old former first-rounder in 2020 out of Mississippi State slashed .265/.313/.457 with a .770 OPS, 17 home runs, 41 RBI, and 59 runs scored for the O's. Most of the disappointment came in the form of injuries -- he missed six-plus weeks with a hamstring injury and a month with a right-ankle sprain. Westburg is probably only eligible at third base in most fantasy baseball leagues going into 2026, but his high contact rates and power stroke still give him upside in Baltimore if he can avoid injuries. If you wait at the position, Westburg is a decent low-end starting third baseman with the clear potential for 20-plus home runs over a full season.

The Baltimore Orioles announced on Tuesday that they reinstated infielder Jordan Westburg (ankle) from the 10-day injured list and designated infielder Emmanuel Rivera for assignment in a corresponding move. Westburg will serve as the designated hitter and bat cleanup in his return in Tuesday's game against the hosting Chicago White Sox and right-hander Shane Smith. The 26-year-old will return for the tail end of the 2025 season after missing almost a month with a sprained right ankle. It's been an injury-plagued campaign for Westburg, as he's played in only 73 games while slashing .276/.326/.473 with 15 home runs, 34 RBI, and 53 runs scored. Despite all the missed time, Westburg needs only four homers to set a new career high after he hit 18 as an All-Star in 2023. The O's will ease him back in as the DH, but normally, he operates as their starting third baseman.

The Baltimore Orioles are expected to activate second/third baseman Jordan Westburg (ankle) from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against the White Sox, per MLB.com's Ryan Herrera. Westburg was placed on the IL retroactive to August 19 with a right ankle sprain. He played three rehab games with Triple-A Norfolk and was with the O's on Monday. Interim manager Tony Mansolino said he plans to have the 26-year-old serve as the designated hitter Tuesday, and then have him play third base the next two games. Westburg came into the season as an intriguing fantasy option, and he has delivered when on the field, slashing .276/.326/.473 with 15 home runs, 34 RBI, and one stolen base in 304 plate appearances.

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Jordan Westburg (ankle) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk on Friday. Westburg has been on the 10-day injured list since August 22, but it appears he's close to a return to the big leagues. It's been an injury-marred season for Westburg, but he's been effective when healthy. In 304 plate appearances, the 26-year-old has slashed .276/.326/.473 with 15 home runs, 34 RBI, and 53 runs scored. Fantasy managers should monitor Westburg's progress over the weekend, as he could be activated before the Orioles begin a three-game set against the Chicago White Sox on Monday.

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Jordan Westburg (ankle) won't be ready to return from the injured list when first eligible on Friday. Westburg landed on the shelf last Friday due to a right ankle sprain. O's interim manager Tony Mansolino said they don't expect Westburg to return until early September. His return will be dependent on how he progresses over the next week. Until then, the O's will likely continue to use a committee approach at third base. They've been using a combination of Luis Vazquez, Jeremiah Jackson, and Vimael Machin. Fantasy managers should check back for another update on Westburg.

The Baltimore Orioles are placing infielder Jordan Westburg (ankle) on the 10-day injured list on Friday with a sprained right ankle and will add infielder Vimael Machin to the active roster in a corresponding move, according to Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports. Westburg will head back to the IL after spraining his ankle on Monday. It is unclear at this time if he'll be able to rejoin the major-league roster when he's eligible to come off the IL on Aug. 29. Until the 26-year-old is able to return, the O's will likely go with a platoon at the hot corner in Baltimore between Luis Vazquez and Jeremiah Jackson. Vazquez will get the start at third for Friday's contest at Camden Yards against the visiting Houston Astros. Westburgh just has not been able to stay healthy in 2025 in his third year in the majors, although he has still managed to hit a useful .276 (78-for-283) with 15 home runs and 34 RBI in 73 ballgames.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg (ankle) remained out of the starting lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the Houston Astros. Westburg hasn't been able to play since exiting early during Monday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Currently, Westburg is considered day-to-day with right ankle discomfort. The organization is hopeful that Westburg can avoid a stint on the injured list. It wouldn't be shocking to see Westburg miss a handful of games due to this issue. Jeremiah Jackson is covering the hot corner on Thursday. He'll likely see increased playing time over there until Westburg is ready to play again.

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Jordan Westburg (ankle) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game in Boston against the division-rival Red Sox at Fenway Park. Luis Vazquez will start at third base and bat eighth against Red Sox right-hander Walker Buehler. Westburg will take a seat in Game 2 of the series after leaving Monday's series opener early due to discomfort in his right ankle. With an off day coming on Wednesday, it's possible the 26-year-old third baseman could be ready to return for Thursday's series opener against the Houston Astros. Westburg has had an injury-plagued 2025 campaign, so hopefully this is an injury that won't require another stint on the injured list. After his first All-Star campaign in 2024, Westburg has slashed .276/.326/.473 with a career-high .799 OPS, 15 home runs, 34 RBI and 53 runs in 73 games. He's four homers away from setting a new career-high.
