Ryan Mountcastle News
Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (triceps) is back in the starting lineup on Monday against the Detroit Tigers and left-hander Tyler Alexander, serving as the designated hitter and batting third. Mountcastle was hit by a pitch on Saturday and missed Sunday's contest, but he's good to go on Monday. Jesus Aguilar is starting at first base and is hitting fifth on Monday. In 15 games in the month of September, Mountcastle has gone 13-for-53 (.245) with four home runs, 13 RBI and six runs scored. However, in his last seven games, he has just four hits in 22 at-bats with four strikeouts. Fantasy managers will be hoping that Mountcastle will get hot over the final couple weeks of the regular season.
Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle took an old friend deep Tuesday night, knocking a solo shot off of former teammate Hunter Harvey in the fifth inning of a 4-3 victory over the Washington Nationals. It's his 22nd home run of the season. Mountcastle reached base four times in this game, going 2-for-3 at the plate with two walks. After a difficult few months, Mountcastle has rebounded with a .289/.360/.600 slash line with four homers in 50 September plate appearances. Fantasy managers are hoping he can finish strong, though this will go down as his least productive season to date.
Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle is back at first base and is batting cleanup on Thursday against Los Angeles Angels right-hander Chase Silseth. Mountcastle missed the last two games due to a sinus issue, but fantasy managers need to get him back into their lineups in season-long leagues on Thursday. The 25-year-old is one of the better up-and-coming hitters in the big leagues, and he's slashing a strong .276/.314/.495 with an .809 OPS, 14 home runs, 40 RBI, 35 runs scored and three stolen bases in 293 plate appearances over 70 games in his third big-league season. Ryan McKenna will return to the bench with Mountcastle back in the lineup.

After hitting 33 homers in his first full season with the Orioles in 2021, it's fair to say no one suffered more from the Orioles' left-field alterations than Ryan Mountcastle. In 145 games last year, Mountcastle had 22 homers, 85 RBI, 62 runs and four stolen bases while hitting .250/.305/.423. His numbers were very similar to 2021 with the exception of the drop-in homers and his .423 SLG (dropping from .487). He had a 27.6 xHR total and would've hit 40 home runs if he played exclusively in Great American Ball Park last year but only 23 homers at Orioles Park. Mountcastle's contact numbers were excellent in 2022, ranking in the 94th percentile for Barrel% (15.0%), 96th percentile for xSLG (.509) and 93rd percentile for xwOBA (.362). Of his 22 homers, 12 were hit to center (five) or left (seven) field so his ability to hit for power the opposite way will help some at home. Mountcastle's 25.3% K% and 7.1% BB% mean he's less valuable in points leagues than in standard leagues. But with an improving Orioles lineup and still only 26 years old come Opening Day, Mountcastle should be able to provide value on his ADP (~159) with the chance to take another step forward in his blossoming career.
