Orioles Reinstated Jordan Westburg From Injured List

The Baltimore Orioles have reinstated infielder Jordan Westburg from the 10-day injured list, marking his return to the team's lineup after a left hamstring strain sidelined him since late April. Westburg, who has been performing well on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk—hitting .360 with two home runs in seven to eight games—will resume his role as the Orioles' everyday third baseman. The team designated infielder Emmanuel Rivera for assignment to make room for Westburg's return. Interim manager Tony Mansolino confirmed Westburg's trending recovery and return timeline, with expectations high that he will start against the Detroit Tigers. Before the injury, Westburg had a slow start offensively, batting .217 with four home runs and six RBIs in 23 games, but he was an All-Star in 2023 and showed significant power with 18 home runs over 107 games. Meanwhile, Ramon Urias had been filling in at third base during Westburg's absence.
