Orioles place first baseman Ryan Mountcastle on 60-day injured list with broken foot

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle has been placed on the 60-day injured list with a fractured left foot

4 HOURS AGO • Associated Press

Yaramil Hiraldo - Moved to 60-day IL The Orioles transferred Hiraldo (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Monday.

Impact Hiraldo initially landed on the 15-day IL in early April due to right shoulder inflammation. His injury is severe enough for him to require an extended absence, and the earliest Hiraldo can return to major-league action is early June. All three of his regular-season appearances came in late March, when he allowed four runs on three hits and four walks while striking out two across 1.2 innings.

Weston Wilson - Contract selected by Baltimore The Orioles selected Wilson's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

Impact Spots on the Orioles' 40-man roster after the team placed both Ryan Mountcastle (foot) and Yaramil Hiraldo (shoulder) on the 60-day injured list. Wilson has appeared in 12 games in Triple-A this season, slashing .195/.298/.366 with two steals, two home runs and six RBI in 47 plate appearances. He served in a depth role in the outfield for the Phillies in 2025 and figures to do the same with the Orioles, at least until Tyler O'Neill (concussion) is activated from the 7-day IL.

Ryan Mountcastle - Placed on 60-day IL The Orioles placed Mountcastle (foot) on the 60-day injured list Monday.

Impact Mountcastle was diagnosed with a fractured fourth metacarpal in his left foot following his exit from Saturday's game against the Giants. His placement on the 60-day IL means the earliest he can return to major-league action is mid-to-late June, though it wouldn't be surprising to see Mountcastle on the shelf until the All-Star break in mid-July. With Mountcastle sidelined for an extended period of time, the Orioles acquired Christian Encarnacion-Strand from the Reds and assigned him to Triple-A Norfolk.

Why Reds traded Christian Encarnacion-Strand — and what Orioles get in 21-HR slugger | Sporting News This is a fascinating move for Baltimore.

Christian Encarnacion-Strand - Acquired by Baltimore The Reds traded Encarnacion-Strand to the Orioles on Monday in exchange for cash considerations.

Impact Encarnacion-Strand failed to make the Reds' Opening Day roster and was DFA'd by the team this past Wednesday. He'll get a new opportunity with the Orioles, and while he's been assigned to Triple-A Norfolk, Encarnacion-Strand could see some major-league action at first base due to the absence of Ryan Mountcastle (foot). Across 10 games in Triple-A this season, Encarnacion-Strand has gone 8-for-36 (.222) with five runs scored, two homers and eight RBI.

Jackson Holliday - Will not be activated this week Orioles manager Craig Albernaz said Monday that he does not anticipate Holliday (hand) being activated from the 10-day injured list this week, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore S...

Impact Working his way back from a surgery to remove the fractured hook of the hamate bone in his right hand, Holliday is slashing only .167/.239/.214 with a 3:12 BB:K over his first 11 rehab games at Triple-A Norfolk. He is eligible to return at any time, but it appears the Orioles want to see Holliday get into a groove at the plate before they add him back to the active roster. Jeremiah Jackson has been seeing the bulk of the playing time at second base lately for Baltimore.

Leody Taveras - Taking hold of center-field duties Taveras will start in center field and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact With all of Adley Rutschman (ankle), Ryan Mountcastle (foot) and Tyler O'Neill (concussion) having went down with injuries over the weekend, Taveras appears to have gained a foothold in the Orioles' everyday lineup. Taveras has historically provided most of his value with his defense and speed, but he's held his own at the plate over his previous three starts, going 4-for-12 with a pair of doubles, two runs and an RBI during that stretch. He could be in line for regular reps in the Baltimore outfield until the team reclaims some health.

Coby Mayo - Back on bench amid rough spell Mayo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact For the second time in four games, Mayo will take a seat while Blaze Alexander picks up another start at third base. After a strong September to close out the 2025 campaign, Mayo hasn't been able to carry over that success to the first two and a half weeks of the 2026 season. He's batting just .158/.273/.184 with a 29.5 percent strikeout rate over 44 plate appearances, with his poor form potentially putting him at risk of a demotion to Triple-A Norfolk if he's unable to turn things around quickly.

Dean Kremer - Called up, will start Monday The Orioles recalled Kremer from Triple-A Norfolk and have named him their starting pitcher for Mondays' game against the Diamondbacks at Camden Yards.

Impact In a corresponding move, the Orioles optioned Cade Povich to Triple-A, after the lefty tossed 6.2 innings of one-run ball in a win over the Giants on Sunday. With Povich at least temporarily out of the picture, Kremer looks like he'll have a clear path to an extended stay in the rotation spot that previously belonged to Zach Eflin (elbow), who underwent season-ending Tommy John surgery last week. Kremer owns a 4.26 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 12.6 K-BB% over 671.2 career innings in the majors and is coming off a strong outing his last time out with Norfolk on Wednesday, when he struck out six over 4.2 scoreless frames.

Cade Povich - Sent packing to minors The Orioles optioned Povich to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

Impact Povich was dialed in in a spot start Sunday against the Giants, tossing 6.2 innings of one-run ball while notching five strikeouts. However, with Dean Kremer joining the Orioles' rotation there was no longer a spot for Povich, who will stay stretched out as a member of Norfolk's starting five.

JT Quinn - Stellar start to career Quinn has a 1.00 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 16:2 K:BB in nine innings over his first two starts for High-A Frederick.

Impact He used his upper-90s fastball and power breaking ball to strike out 10 batters over 4.2 innings in his most recent start. Quinn was the No. 69 overall pick in last year's draft out of Georgia and was given a vote of confidence with an initial assignment to High-A. He turns 22 next week and also boasts a 53.3 percent groundball rate to go with his 42.4 K-BB%.

Dean Kremer - Likely to join rotation Kremer was present at Camden Yards on Sunday and could be formally recalled from Triple-A Norfolk to start Monday's game against the Diamondbacks, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun...

Impact Kremer was unable to win a rotation spot with the Orioles coming out of spring training, but he looks like he won't have to wait long for a promotion to the big leagues. With Zach Eflin (elbow) getting season-ending Tommy John surgery last week, Kremer -- who accrued a 4.19 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 142:45 K:BB across 171.2 innings with the big club in 2025 -- could have a path to a long-term stay in the rotation, though he'll face competition from Cade Povich for the fifth starter's role. The right-hander has performed well in his first two outings with Norfolk, covering 9.1 innings and striking out 12 while allowing three earned runs on eight hits and two walks.
