Jorge Mateo Back In Lineup Thursday
2 years agoBaltimore Orioles shortstop Jorge Mateo (leg) is back at shortstop and is hitting seventh in the batting order on Thursday against left-hander Tyler Anderson and the Los Angeles Angels. Mateo was dealing with some leg soreness and didn't play on Wednesday, but he's back in there a day later. The 27-year-old Dominican has cooled off some after a blistering start to his 2023 campaign, and he's now hitting .261 (30-for-115) with six doubles, six home runs, 22 RBI, 13 stolen bases and 25 runs scored in 130 plate appearances and 36 games. He has really cooled off in May, going just 5-for-43 (.116) with a double, no homers, five RBI, three steals and 14 strikeouts in 13 games.
