Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle has suffered a torn oblique, adding to his injury woes this season, according to team president Mike Elias. The injury occurred during his recovery from a previous left foot fracture, Elias stated on Friday. Mountcastle, who was expected to be a key player for the Orioles, now faces another setback as he attempts to return to form. The torn oblique is a significant issue that could sideline the player for the remainder of the season. Elias did not provide a timeline for Mountcastle’s return, but the injury raises concerns about the team’s depth at first base. The Orioles have not yet announced any immediate plans to address the position, leaving the situation uncertain for the remainder of the campaign. (winnipegfreepress.com)
