Jordan Westburg Back For Thursday's Series Finale
5 months agoBaltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg (hip) is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale in the Bronx against the division-rival New York Yankees and right-hander Luis Gil, playing second base and batting sixth in the order. Ramon Urias will get another start at third base and will bat out of the nine-hole. Westburg bruised his left hip in Tuesday's game and missed the contest on Wednesday. The 25-year-old has been a lineup regular for the O's this year at either second or third base, and he's hitting a useful .277/.331/.502 with an .833 OPS, 11 home runs, 42 RBI, six stolen bases and 37 runs scored in 253 at-bats in a strong Orioles lineup. He's cooled off a bit in June, though, going 15-for-64 (.234) with three homers, three doubles, two triples, eight RBI, one steal and 14 strikeouts in 16 games.
