Jorge Mateo Stats

Baltimore Orioles shortstop Jorge Mateo is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against right-hander Chris Flexen and the Seattle Mariners. Chris Owings will be getting the start at shortstop and batting ninth in the game. Mateo closed out May on a five-game hitting streak that included two doubles, a triple and a home run. The 26-year-old has been a fantastic source of stolen bases this year with 13 on 14 attempts. He's hitting just .220/.251/.354 on the year, so it's no surprise that he's been mostly batting ninth for the Orioles. If he could increase his batting average and add just a little more power (three home runs on the year), he could be a fantasy gem. For now, he remains a stolen base specialist who is a strong starting option in most rotisserie and head-to-head categories leagues.

Baltimore Orioles shortstop Jorge Mateo (shoulder) is still experiencing left shoulder soreness, according to manager Brandon Hyde. Mateo injured his shoulder during Sunday's game after colliding with Detroit Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson on the way to first base. Hyde is optimistic that Mateo will be back soon, suggesting there's even a chance he could be used off the bench in Monday's game against the New York Yankees. Meanwhile, Ramon Urias will be starting at shortstop for Monday's game.
