Despite a challenging start to the season, the Orioles have won seven of their last eight games, improving their record to 26-37. They are still 7.5 games behind a Wild Card spot, making playoff hopes slim. Infielder Jordan Westburg, who had a breakout All-Star season last year, is returning from injury. His performance is expected to significantly bolster a lineup that has struggled, particularly at third base. While other players have stepped in, Westburg’s return could not only improve performance but also allow for better positioning of current players.
Westburg's return is crucial as the Orioles' third basemen are hitting just .243 this season, likely benefiting from his performance which far exceeds that average.
Interim manager Tony Mansolino expressed confidence in Westburg's imminent return, emphasizing the importance of bolstering the lineup amidst the team’s struggles this season.
