Westburg made Yanks’ starter Will Warren pay for an 0-2 sweeper that inexplicably caught too much of the plate and sent it exactly one row deep in the left field stands. He had two other base hits in this game as well while he tries to end what’s been an inconsistent season for him – mostly due to a few trips to the injured list – on a high note.

Westburg will get a breather in this one after going 1-for-20 with 10 strikeouts over five games since returning from the injured list earlier this week following a nearly one-month absence recovering from a sprained ankle. It’ll be rookie sensation Jeremiah Jackson getting an opportunity at the hot corner in his place.

As a team, the Orioles tallied just three hits in the ballgame — all of them singles — so he wasn’t the only culprit for the poor offensive performance. The Orioles struck out 15 times as a team in the ballgame — 13 of them against starter Max Fried. For the season, the 26-year-old infielder is now slashing .264/.318/.454 with 15 homers, 34 RBI and one stolen base in 318 plate appearances.

Westburg returns to Baltimore’s lineup at DH and batting cleanup for Tuesday’s showdown against the White Sox following a nearly one-month recovering from a sprained ankle.

The 26-year-old infielder has been shelved since August 17 due to a mild right ankle sprain. He’ll probably play a couple of games there over the weekend and as long as everything goes well, he would be cleared to rejoin the team on Monday for their series opener against the White Sox in Chicago.

Last week at this time, they said he could begin a rehab assignment last weekend. Westburg’s ankle injury, sustained running the bases on Aug. 17, was supposed to be mild, and the Orioles waited four days to put him on the injured list, but now it seems like he’s going wind up missing a full month.

Westburg has resumed all baseball activities, and the 26-year-old should be able to report to Triple-A in the coming days. Barring a setback, he should be able to finish what has been an injury-riddled — but productive when on the field — season.

There was some optimism Westburg would only require a minimum stint on the injured list with a right ankle sprain, but he’s going to need some extra time to get back to full strength.

The Orioles were hoping to take it day-by-day through the weekend, but ultimately it made sense to sit Westburg down and ensure that the injury fully heals. Vimael Machin was promoted from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move to take his place on the active roster and add depth to the O’s infield.

Orioles’ manager Tony Mansolino told reporters that they’re still hopeful Westburg will be able to avoid the injured list and that he may miss four or five games and still take things on a day-to-day basis. Jeremiah Jackson will fill in for him at third base once again on Thursday and will bat second for the O’s against Jason Alexander and the Astros.

Westburg will get the night off after exiting Monday’s series opener with right ankle discomfort. Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino told reporters afterwards that he believes the injury is relatively mild. It certainly seems like Westburg will avoid a trip to the injured list, but that decision will likely come down to how his ankle responds to treatment. It’ll be Luis Vázquez taking over at the keystone in his absence.

Mansolino added that they’ll have additional information ahead of Tuesday’s contest, but early indications are that Westburg isn’t dealing with anything too serious. The 26-year-old infielder was lifted from Monday’s series opener with right ankle discomfort. He’s day-to-day for now.

Westburg can’t seem to catch a break. The timing is extremely unfortunate as it comes on the heels of a four-hit, five-RBI performance during Sunday’s slugfest against the Astros. The 26-year-old infielder stumbled while rounding second base in the opening frame and was immediately lifted from the contest after a consultation with team trainers. He’ll head for further evaluation and testing to determine the severity of the injury. There should be an update on his status following the game.

The first of those doubles looked for all the world to be a homer leading off the game, but it was shown to have bounced off the very top of the wall and back into play. It’s Westburg’s fourth career four-hit game and first ever with four runs scored.

Westburg double in the first inning and scored on a base hit. He then added a pair of singles to lead off the sixth and eighth inning for a three-hit day at the plate. The 26-year-old infielder is hitting .257/.309/.474 with 10 homers, 30 runs scored, and 21 RBI across 188 plate appearances.

Westburg has been on fire of late. His first inning single – that he scorched 109.9 mph – helped start a rally off Marlins’ starter Edward Cabrera. He was eventually involved in two other rallies scoring three runs in total and being an engine out of the two-hole for Baltimore. He’s now had multiple hits in three of his last six games and took what was a .657 OPS when he returned from his hamstring injury a month ago up to .807 after this game.

He finished the afternoon 1-for-5 and is now hitting .248/.306/.484 with 10 homers, 20 RBI and one stolen base through his first 170 plate appearances on the season.

No surprise here given the quick turnaround on Sunday morning and Westburg continuing to manage an ongoing finger issue. The ailment clearly hasn’t impacted the 26-year-old infielder’s on-field performance since he’s gone 4-for-8 with a pair of home runs in two games since returning to Baltimore’s lineup. It’ll be Ramón Urías at the hot corner on Sunday in his place.

Westburg’s home run was his eighth of the year. The 26-year-old infielder hit a solo shot off Spencer Strider in the third inning. Westburg returned after missing five games with a finger injury that he’s decided to play through.

Westburg missed five straight games with his left index finger injury, and while he told reporters he won’t be 100 percent for a while, he’s good enough to go for the opening game against Atlanta on Friday.

The Westburg situation is extremely frustrating for fantasy managers since it sounds like he’s dead-set against going on the injured list and will need to manage the ongoing left index finger issue for the remainder of the year. He’ll sit out on Wednesday night for the fifth straight contest and eighth time in Baltimore’s last 10 games overall. It’ll be Ramón Urías continuing to handle the hot corner in his absence.

The 26-year-old infielder has been out of the lineup for four consecutive games, and seven of the last nine overall, as he continues to manage an ongoing left index finger issue. It’ll be veteran Ramón Urías taking over at third base again in his absence.

Westburg took pregame batting practice without any issues and told reporters he’s aiming to rejoin Baltimore’s lineup in the next day or two. The 26-year-old added that he’ll need to manage the left index finger issue for a while moving forward, but it doesn’t sound like he’s going to require a trip to the injured list.

Westburg remains on Baltimore’s bench for the third consecutive contest after aggravating a left finger injury during Friday’s game against the Rays. The 26-year-old infielder has missed six of the club’s last eight games. There’s been no indication that he’ll require a trip to the injured list, but those odds increase exponentially the longer he remains sidelined. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. There should be some clarity on his status following Monday’s contest.

Westburg will sit out for the second straight contest, and fifth time in the last seven games, after aggravating a left index finger during Friday’s showdown. The 26-year-old infielder was spotted playing catch during pregame drills with a wrap on his finger. It’s an encouraging sign that he’s managed to avoid a trip to the injured list, but that might be inevitable if he’s not ready to play at some point towards the middle of next week. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. It’ll be veteran Ramón Urías continuing to handle the hot corner in his absence.

Orioles’ manager Tony Mansolino told reporters on Saturday that Westburg wasn’t a candidate to head to the injured list, but that he’ll probably be out a “couple of days”. He also noted that this finger injury isn’t as bad as the one Westburg experienced last time. Either way, fantasy managers shouldn’t expect him to return until early next week.

Westburg missed three games earlier in the week due to the injury. He appeared to aggravate it while diving headfirst into second base on his first-inning double on Friday night. While he remained in the game after a visit from the training staff, he was ultimately removed the following inning. Expect him to undergo further evaluation to see if any additional damage was done this time around. Stay tuned.
