Jorge Mateo Stats

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jorge Mateo isn't in the team's lineup on Wednesday for a matchup with the Detroit Tigers and right-hander Matt Manning. Mateo is batting .220 with a .267 on-base percentage, 13 home runs, and 30 stolen bases in 484 plate appearances this season. Instead, it'll be Gunnar Henderson moving to shortstop with Ramon Urias sliding over to third base and Terrin Vavra entering the lineup at second base. Vavra is batting .271 with a .348 on-base percentage in 69 plate appearances in the Majors for the Orioles this season. He'll hit fifth on Wednesday. Fantasy managers in search of streaming options are probably better off looking elsewhere given the matchup with Manning.

Baltimore Orioles shortstop Jorge Mateo is not in the starting lineup on Friday against the Boston Red Sox. Mateo appears to just be getting a regular day of rest on Friday. Fantasy managers need to act accordingly. The 27-year-old is hitting .226/.275/.394 with 12 home runs, 45 RBI, 55 runs scored and 30 stolen bases in his 421 at-bats for the O's this season. Shortstop prospect Gunnar Henderson is starting at the 6 instead and will bat fifth against Red Sox right-hander Brayan Bello. Henderson is the No. 2 prospect in all of baseball, per MLB Pipeline, and he's gone 9-for-33 (.273) with a homer, two RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in his first nine big-league games. There's plenty of upside to be had with Henderson as a DFS play.

Baltimore Orioles shortstop Jorge Mateo came through with the game-winning hit in Sunday's 5-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles, clearing the bases with a double to put the team up for good. Mateo also singled in four at-bats. Mateo is most fantasy-relevant for his contributions on the bases, stealing 27 bases this season, but he has been red-hot at the dish of late, slashing .321/.357/.594 with five homers in his last 30 games. Mateo is well worth an add if he's somehow still available on waiver wires.
