Ryan Mountcastle Out On Saturday
4 months agoBaltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the visiting San Diego Padres. Ryan O'Hearn will take his spot at first base and will bat cleanup for the struggling O's against Padres right-hander Michael King. O'Hearn is much more attractive in DFS against right-handed pitchers and has a home run and two RBI in three career at-bats against King. Although Mountcastle does have two multi-hit games since the All-Star break, overall he's gone 5-for-21 (.238) with no homers, a double, three RBI and seven strikeouts in six games since the Midsummer Classic. He's also homered just once in the month of July. The 27-year-old has been a decent source of power as a corner infielder in deep-mixed leagues with 12 bombs and 46 RBI in 94 games in 2024.
