What's Happening?
Ryan Mountcastle, a player for the Baltimore Orioles, is not included in the lineup for the team's game against Toronto on Saturday. This decision follows Mountcastle's performance in Friday's series opener, where he went 0-for-4 and struck out once. In his absence, Coby Mayo will be taking over at first base and is set to bat ninth in the lineup.
Why It's Important?
Mountcastle's absence from the lineup could impact the Orioles' strategy and performance against Toronto. As a key player, his benching might affect the team's offensive capabilities, especially given his recent struggles at the plate. This decision also provides an opportunity for Coby Mayo to showcase his skills and potentially contribute to the team's success in the ongoing series.
What's Next?
The Orioles will continue their series against Toronto, and Mountcastle's future participation will likely depend on his recovery and performance in practice sessions. The team may reassess his position in the lineup based on Mayo's performance and Mountcastle's readiness to return to play.
