Ryan Mountcastle Fantasy Stats

The Baltimore Orioles announced on Monday that they placed first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (foot) on the 60-day injured list with a left-foot fracture. In a corresponding move, the team selected the contract of infielder/outfielder Weston Wilson from Triple-A Norfolk. Mountcastle fractured the fourth metacarpal in his left foot in Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants, and he now cannot return to the big leagues until late June. Fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if we don't see Mountcastle again in Baltimore until the second half of the season in mid-July. The 29-year-old isn't a must-hold in mixed leagues at this point. He was slated to see more playing time going forward with catcher Adley Rutschman (ankle) on the 10-day injured list, but now Mountcastle is out for an extended period of time. The former first-rounder in 2015 played in just 89 games last year due to injury, and he won't be guaranteed regular playing time later this year once he does return. Mountcastle had gone 4-for-14 at the plate (.286) with no homers or RBI in his first eight games in 2026.

Baltimore Orioles manager Craig Albernaz said on Sunday that corner infielder Ryan Mountcastle (foot) suffered a broken fourth metatarsal on his left foot on Saturday and will be forced to miss some time, according to Jake Rill of MLB.com. Expect the Orioles to place Mountcastle on the 10-day injured list early this week. The 29-year-old former first-rounder was set to see an increase in playing time in Baltimore with catcher/first baseman Adley Rutschman (ankle) also landing on the IL recently, so it's extremely bad timing for Mountcastle. He had played in only eight games for the O's in the early going in 2026, batting .286 (4-for-14) with an RBI and a double. Young outfielder Dylan Beavers could be the biggest beneficiary of playing time between the outfield and designated hitter with both Rutschman and Mountcastle out for the foreseeable future.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (hand) appears to have avoided a major injury after being hit by a pitch earlier in the week. Mountcastle told reporters that he's fine after taking a pitch off the right hand on Wednesday. The X-rays came back negative, which is good news for the right-handed slugger. According to Roch Kubatko, Mountcastle should be back in the lineup on Saturday. The 29-year-old is looking to rebound after a tough season in 2025. Last season, Mountcastle slashed .250/.285/.367 with seven home runs and 35 RBI in 89 games with the O's. The addition of Pete Alonso isn't going to do Mountcastle any favors. The expectation is that Mountcastle will primarily serve as the designated hitter, and he could become a part-time player if his struggles continue.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (hand) was forced to leave Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Pittsburgh Pirates early in the eighth inning after he was hit by a pitch on his right hand, according to Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun. Fortunately, X-rays on his right hand came back negative, according to the team. With an off day coming in spring training on Friday, Mountcastle could be back in the lineup on Friday, although it wouldn't be a surprise to see the O's give him a couple of days off. The 29-year-old right-handed slugger's fantasy stock is on the decline going into the 2026 season after he dealt with more injuries and disappointing play in 2025. Mountcastle slashed .250/.286/.367 with a career-worst .653 OPS, only seven home runs, 35 RBI, 34 runs, and three steals in 89 games played. With the addition of All-Star first baseman Pete Alonso, Mountcastle could be facing a drop in playing time, with a DH role his only clear path to at-bats.

The Baltimore Sun reports that the Baltimore Orioles tendered a contract offer to first baseman Ryan Mountcastle for the 2026 season. Mountcastle was a non-tender candidate after hitting just seven home runs in 2025. The 28-year-old is projected to make more than $8 million in salary arbitration in 2026, but it looks like he's going to stick around in Baltimore for at least one more season. The former 36th overall pick in the 2015 draft hit .250/.286/.367 with a career-worst .653 OPS, 35 RBI, and 34 runs scored in 89 games played in his sixth year in the majors this past season. Since clubbing a career-high 33 long balls and driving in 89 RBI in his first full season in 2021, Mountcastle has regressed at the plate, especially in the power department. 2026 will be a make-or-break year for him, and he could be a trade candidate before the regular season even begins.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (finger) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the New York Yankees. It was recently revealed that Mountcastle missed the last two games due to a minor finger injury. He appears to be fine now, so he won't require a stint on the injured list. He'll bat leadoff and serve as the designated hitter versus left-hander Max Fried on Thursday. Mountcastle has seen his playing time dip down the stretch of the season. The O's seem committed to Coby Mayo at first base, so Mountcastle could be a trade candidate this winter. At the moment, Mountcastle is nothing more than a deep league option.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (hamstring) was activated from the 60-day injured list on Friday and he is serving as the designated hitter while batting fifth in Friday's series opener against the visiting Athletics at Camden Yards. With Mountcastle back, the 28-year-old right-handed hitter should see starts between DH and first base. He has been away from the big-league team since May 30, though, and there's no guarantee he'll find his groove after struggling to a .246/.280/.348 slash line with two home runs, 15 RBI and 19 runs scored in 187 at-bats before his injury. But Mountcastle should play regularly with the disappointing O's the rest of the way, especially after both outfielders Colton Cowser (concussion) and Tyler O'Neill (wrist) landed on the injured on Friday. Mountcastle has never faced A's Friday starter J.T. Ginn.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (hamstring) will not be activated until after the team's current series in Philadelphia against the Phillies. He will continue his rehab assignment in Triple-A Norfolk and could return on Friday, when the O's start their next series at home against the Athletics. Mountcastle hit just .246 in his 52 games with two homers and a .274 wOBA this season before landing on the 60-day injured list. He's been sidelined since the end of May, so the team is just giving him time to get fully back up to speed. In six games in Norfolk, Mountcastle is an impressive 9-for-23 (.391) with three doubles, two homers, and a 50% hard-hit rate. Following the Ryan O'Hearn trade, he should have a clear path to playing time once he is activated, and it'll be fascinating to see how well he can finish the season.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (hamstring) is eligible to return from the injured list on Wednesday, but MLB.com's Jake Rill writes that he is unlikely to return to the O's until next week's series against the Philadelphia Phillies, which starts on Monday, Aug. 4. Mountcastle has been out for almost two months with a strained right hamstring, so the Orioles would like to see him play in a few more minor-league rehab games. When the 28-year-old does finally return from the IL, he could be splitting first base duties with Coby Mayo if Ryan O'Hearn is sent packing at this week's trade deadline. If O'Hearn isn't traded, it could be more of a struggle for regular playing time for Mountcastle, who was hitting .246 (46-for-187) with only two home runs, 15 RBI and 19 runs scored before his hammy injury. Since hitting a career-high 33 bombs in 21, Mountcastle's power has declined.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (hamstring) is scheduled to begin a minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, according to O's interim manager Tony Mansolino. Mountcastle has been sidelined since late May due to a right hamstring strain. He's not eligible to return until the end of July, so he figures to be back with the O's in early August. Mountcastle was struggling with the bat before going down with his injury. He's not someone that must be rostered right now as a starting spot might not be guaranteed when he returns.
