The Baltimore Orioles placed second baseman Jorge Mateo on the 10-day injured list Thursday because of a dislocated left elbow.

The injury occurred during Tuesday's 6-3 loss at Miami when Mateo collided with shortstop Gunnar Henderson as both players pursued a third-inning ground ball by Marlins outfielder Jesus Sanchez.

Mateo, 29, is batting .229 with five homers, 18 RBIs and 13 stolen bases in 68 games this season. He has started 52 games at second base, three at shortstop and two in center field.
