Jordan Westburg Fantasy Stats

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.

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Jordan Westburg (ankle) left Monday night's game against the Red Sox with an ankle injury that he sustained trying to get back to first base early in the game. After the game, interim manager Tony Mansolino said the team believes the injury to be mild but will know more on Tuesday after seeing how his ankle responds overnight. Westburg was replaced by Luis Vazquez, who went 1-for-4 with a run scored. Westburg may be able to avoid the injury list, although the Orioles don't have much reason to push the 26-year-old since they're out of the playoff race. In his limited action this season, he has produced a .277/.327/.475 slash line with 15 home runs, 34 RBI, and 53 runs scored in 72 games played. If he is forced to miss time, Vazquez and Jeremiah Jackson would be the top candidates to get more playing time. Westburg has been heating up lately, so losing him from the lineup would be a significant blow to the Orioles. Check back for more updates as a timeframe is clarified later on Tuesday.

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Jordan Westburg (ankle) left Monday's series opener early against the Boston Red Sox with right-ankle discomfort, according to Roch Kubatko of MASN. Westburg was injured trying to get back to first base early in the game and was hitless in his only plate appearance before departing. Luis Vazquez entered as a pinch-runner and took over at third base for the injured Westburg. It's been an injury-plaged season for the 26-year-old, but he remains the team's primary third baseman when he's healthy. The former first-rounder in 2020 out of Mississippie State has a .277/.327/.475 slash line with a career-best .802 OPS, 15 home runs, 34 RBI and 53 runs scored in 72 games played. Westburg is three homers away from matching his career-high that he set a year ago when he was a first-time All-Star. Vazquez and Jeremiah Jackson could split playing time at third if Westburg misses more time.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg continued his hot stretch of play during Sunday's game against the Houston Astros. His biggest hit of the day came in the form of a three-run home run off right-hander Shawn Dubin in the fifth inning. Westburg would finish his day 4-for-5 with a homer, five RBI, and two runs scored in the blowout win. It wasn't a pretty start to the season for Westburg, but he has been unbelievable with the bat lately. He's hitting over .300 with eight homers and 20 RBI in his last 36 games. Westburg deserves to be rostered and started in most fantasy formats at the moment.
