The Orioles gained another significant addition yesterday with the return of Ryan Mountcastle. The 27-year-old marked the third offensive contributor to rejoin the club this month. Mountcastle, Jordan Westburg and Ramón Urías all bring something different to the lineup, and Baltimore should see a significant boost at the plate.
The trio essentially replaced Coby Mayo, Liván Soto and Eloy Jiménez. That’s an upgrade on paper, but these guys bring more than numbers to the table. With the Orioles desperately in need of a shot in the arm, the reinforcements have arrived. Will it be enough?
The Orioles rank second in the majors with 228 home runs.
