Losing playing time to Urias Mayo is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest in Tampa Bay, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Impact It marks the third time in four games that Mayo has been out of the Orioles' starting lineup. The rookie is 0-for-13 with eight strikeouts to begin his major-league career, and it appears he could now be behind Ramon Urias in the pecking order at third base.

Not starting Thursday Mayo isn't in the Orioles' lineup for Thursday's game against Toronto.

Impact Mayo has struck out in eight of his first 13 major-league at-bats, and he is still searching for his first career hit after five games in the big leagues. He'll get a day to regroup Thursday while Ramon Urias starts at the hot corner and bats ninth.

Taking seat Tuesday Mayo is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Toronto.

Impact Mayo started the Orioles' first three contests upon his promotion, going 0-for-9 with a 5:2 K:BB. He'll begin this one on the bench as Ramon Urias gets the start at third base.

Contract selected by Baltimore The Orioles selected Mayo's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday.

Impact The 22-year-old is joining Baltimore for his first look in the big leagues after Jordan Westburg suffered a fractured right hand Wednesday. May will make his MLB debut Friday in Cleveland, starting at third base and batting eighth. He's one of the top prospects in baseball and has a .301/.375/.586 slash line with 20 homers in 77 games at Triple-A this season.

Headed to Baltimore The Orioles plan to call Mayo up to the majors on Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact With Jordan Westburg (hand) sidelined for the foreseeable future, playing time has opened up along Baltimore's infield. The Orioles will tab Mayo to fill the void, though the move has not yet been made official. Mayo has earned the chance to make his major-league debut by maintaining a 139 wRC+ and .406 wOBA across 335 plate appearances with Triple-A Norfolk this season, and he'll have high expectations as one of the top hitting prospects in all of baseball.

Could get look with Westburg out The Orioles could consider calling up Mayo following the injury to Jordan Westburg (hand), Danielle Allentuck of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Impact Westburg suffered a fractured right hand in Wednesday's win over the Blue Jays and will be sidelined for several weeks. Most of Mayo's starts at Triple-A Norfolk lately have come at first base, but third base has been his primary position in the minors. One option for the Orioles is to summon Mayo to handle the hot corner, although they could also just stick Ramon Urias there. One factor is that the team does still need to officially add trade acquisitions Eloy Jimenez and Austin Slater to the roster. Mayo has slashed .293/.366/.578 with 20 home runs over 75 games at Norfolk this season and should be an immediate add in fantasy leagues if he does receive a promotion.

Mastering Triple-A Mayo is slashing .319/.424/.639 with six home runs and a 17.6 percent strikeout rate in 19 games since returning to action for Triple-A Norfolk.

Impact A top five prospect for dynasty leagues at this point, Mayo missed a month early in the year with a rib injury, but he has been even better at the plate since returning than he was before the injury. The 22-year-old corner infielder had a 27.6 percent strikeout rate when he was placed on the injured list in the middle of May, and the recent decrease in strikeouts suggests he has essentially mastered Triple-A pitching. The Orioles may opt to keep Mayo in the minors until at least late-August so that he is eligible for AL Rookie of the Year in 2025, but if he were to get rewarded with a promotion before then, he would be worth an add in the majority of formats.

Finishes rehab assignment Mayo (rib) completed his rehab assignment with High-A Aberdeen on Sunday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Impact Mayo is set to rejoin Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday after he went 6-for-13 with three home runs and six RBI over four games during his rehab assignment with Aberdeen. The 22-year-old has been working his way back from a fractured rib he suffered May 16 and he'll look to carry his red-hot bat to Triple-A with him.

JUNE 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Commencing rehab assignment Mayo (rib) will begin his minor league rehab assignment Thursday night with High-A Aberdeen, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Before Mayo fractured a rib after slamming into a dugout in pursuit of a catch May 16, he was hitting .291 with 13 home runs across 192 plate appearances. Since then, the Orioles' prospect has been out of action for Triple-A Norfolk.

Moves up to Triple-A The Orioles promoted Mayo from Double-A Bowie to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact The Norfolk lineup had a need for another power hitter after outfielder Colton Cowser was recently called up to the big leagues, and the 21-year-old should help fill some of that void. The corner-infield prospect slashed .310/.427/.609 with 17 home runs in 344 plate appearances at Bowie, doing so while maintaining a manageable 24.4 percent strikeout rate.

JULY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

In control at Double-A Mayo is hitting .281 with a .400 OBP and seven home runs in 49 games for Double-A Bowie.

Impact The 21-year-old infielder has been the sixth-best hitter (149 wRC+) in the Eastern League and is one of the 10 youngest hitters on the circuit. Baltimore is overflowing with talented young position players in the majors and upper minors, so Mayo may not get a shot as soon as he's ready, either later this season or sometime next season. However, he looks like a future middle-of-the-order run producer capable of playing either corner-infield spot in addition to designated hitter.
