Jordan Westburg Placed On The Injured List
1 month agoBaltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg (hand) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Thursday afternoon with a right-hand fracture. In a corresponding move, the Orioles recalled infielder Livan Soto from Triple-A Norfolk. Westburg left Wednesday's game early after being hit by a pitch in his right hand. Baltimore manager Brandon Hyde expressed after the game that the team hopes to have Westburg back before the end of the season. The 25-year-old was enjoying a nice breakout season, boasting a strong .269/.317/.497 line with 18 home runs and six stolen bases. Under the hood, he carried a 47.0% hard-hit rate and 12.3% barrel rate, which are among the best marks in the sport. While sidelined, fantasy managers should expect top prospect Jackson Holliday to cover the keystone while Ramon Urias holds down the hot corner.
