JORDAN WESTBURG NEWS

Exiting starting nine Sunday Westburg is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Impact After missing five straight starts due to a left index finger sprain, Westburg returned to the lineup for the Orioles' first two games in Atlanta, going 4-for-8 with two home runs, three RBI and an additional run. He doesn't appear to be dealing with any sort of setback with the finger, so he's likely just getting a breather for Sunday's matinee. Ramon Urias will cover third base in Westburg's stead.

Goes yard in three-hit effort Westburg went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 win over Atlanta.

Impact The 26-year-old infielder got the O's on the board when he sent a 96 mph fastball from Spencer Strider the other way over the right-fiend wall in the third inning. Westburg is attempting to play through a sprained index finger on his left hand, an injury that had limited him to just two starts and five plate appearances in Baltimore's prior 10 games, but Friday's performance is a good sign that he'll be able to manage the issue. It's been a tough year overall for Westburg on the health front, and he's suited up for only 37 contests while slashing .243/.298/.464 with eight homers, a steal, 15 RBI and 21 runs.
