Ryan Mountcastle News
Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle will be on the bench on Friday night as the Orioles open a three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers. Mountcastle has been in the lineup card every game so far and has posted an excellent .298/.364/.468 stat line with eight RBI and one round-tripper. This should be seen as a maintenance day, and as a result, Ryan O'Hearn will slot in at first base. O'Hearn does have a difficult matchup against Freddy Peralta, but he could be a value in DFS as he is batting in the cleanup spot and should see plenty of RBI opportunities.
Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle tallied three hits in the team's 3-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. Mountcastle is off to a great start in 2024, which continued in Sunday's contest. The first baseman started off his day with a double to right field in the first inning and then doubled home Adley Rutschman in the fourth inning to get the O's on the board. He also singled in the ninth inning to cap off his first three-hit day of the 2024 campaign. The 27-year-old is now hitting .294 at the plate with one home run and eight RBI in the first nine games of the season. He should be rostered in every format in fantasy going forward, given his upside in a top offense in baseball.
Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (neck) returned to the team's Grapefruit League lineup on Wednesday versus the Philadelphia Phillies and started at first base and hit fifth in the batting order. Neck stiffness kept Mountcastle out of the spring lineup since last Friday, but he's back in there on Wednesday and should be fine to play on Opening Day next Thursday against the visiting Los Angeles Angels. The 27-year-old's fantasy arrow is pointing up after hitting .270/.328/.452 with 18 home runs and 68 RBI in 115 games in 2023 despite missing time with vertigo and a shoulder injury. He's never played in more than 145 games in his four seasons in the big leagues, but he did hit 33 homers in 2021 and could be an excellent value pick in fantasy leagues if he can stay healthy in 2024. Mountcastle is RotoBaller's No. 24 ranked first baseman.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle might not find his name atop any offensive leaderboards but he does provide a safe floor. The 27-year-old is coming off a season in which he hit .270 with 18 home runs and a .780 OPS across 115 games played. He appeared in 144 games in 2021 and 145 in 2022 as his 18 homers from the 2023 season is a 23-homer pace in that range. And that's right about where he is projected to land in the 2024 season as ATC projects 22 home runs alongside a .264 average and 73 RBI across 128 games played. He's not a premier power-hitting first baseman but he should provide another solid floor in terms of home runs and run production. His 238.38 ADP is a reasonable one as a solid corner infielder option.
