Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino told reporters Westburg has been diagnosed with a left index finger sprain and could return to the lineup in two or three days. The positive news here is that X-rays came back negative for any fractures after Westburg jammed his finger on the second-base bag during Saturday’s contest at Yankee Stadium. He’s still sore and can’t fully grip a bat, so fantasy managers shouldn’t expect him back until some point during the club’s next series against the Rangers, which gets underway on Monday night.

Handley was inadvertently knocked completely off his feet on a scary-looking collision with Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. while attempting to field an errant throw up the third-base line during the early stages of Sunday’s game. He’ll be evaluated for a possible concussion in addition to other potential injuries. There should be an update on his status ahead of Monday’s series opener against the Rangers. It’s worth noting that Samuel Basallo wasn’t scratched from Sunday’s lineup at Triple-A Norfolk and is unlikely to be called up as temporary stopgap, despite injuries to both Handley and Adley Rutschman (oblique).

Focusing more on his splitter than his cutter of late, Kremer has posted a nice 3.15 ERA in his last six starts, lowering his season mark from 5.50 to 4.60. We still wouldn’t recommend picking him up in mixed leagues, but at least he’s contributing in AL-only leagues now. He’ll face the Rays again next time out. He just held them to one run over five innings on Tuesday.

Handley was led up the third-base line to field an off-target throw to the plate, which took him directly into the path of an oncoming Chisholm, resulting in a scary-looking collision. The 27-year-old backstop was clearly shaken up on the play and left with an athletic trainer. He’ll undoubtedly undergo further evaluation and testing for a possible concussion. There should be an update on his status following the contest. It’s an unfortunate development for the Orioles since Handley had just returned to the majors to replace an injured Adley Rutschman. It’s too soon to speculate, but the club would likely have to find some emergency catching depth or consider calling up top prospect Samuel Basallo if Handley winds up missing sigificant time.

Turang’s home run, a three-run shot off David Festa in the fifth inning, was his fifth of the season. Turang is more-known for his speed as he stole 50 bases last year and has 16 stolen bases this year. He’s getting on base more this year and has boosted his average from .254 to .274 (so far) in 2025, but his slugging percentage has barely improved despite being only two off last year’s homer total through late June. Turang has just 11 doubles and zero triples.

McLain’s home run was his ninth of the year. The 25-year-old second baseman hit a solo shot off Miles Mikolas in the first inning. McLain now has hits in 10 consecutive games and is 13-for-34 (.382) with two home runs and five RBI over that time. His season average is still an ugly .209, but McLain hit .154 in his first 21 games and is hitting a more palatable .236 over his last 47 games.

Stott will join fellow left-handed hitters Max Kepler and Brandon Marsh on the bench for the Phillies to start this one. Edmundo Sosa will start in Stott’s place at second base and will bat seventh for the Phillies.
