    • Not starting Thursday
      Mountcastle isn't in the Orioles' lineup for Thursday's game versus Seattle.

      Advice: Mountcastle went 1-for-4 with an RBI during his first game back from an illness Wednesday, and he'll now get another day to rest against Bryce Miller and the Mariners. Ryan O'Hearn will move to first base as a result, allowing Heston Kjerstad to serve as the DH. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:15 am
       
    • Starts at first base
      Candelario started at first base and went 0-for-3 with a walk in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Yankees.

      Advice: This was Candelario's first start in the field since returning from a hamstring injury over the weekend. He served as Cincinnati's designated hitter the previous two games. As a result of him playing first base, Spencer Steer moved to left field for the day. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:52 am
       
    • Ryan Mountcastle (illness) returns to action
      Ryan Mountcastle (illness) returned to the Oriolesā€™ starting lineup for Wednesday nightā€™s battle against the Mariners.

      Advice: Mountcastle sat out each of the teamā€™s previous games due to illness, but heā€™s now feeling much better and is right back in there as the Oriolesā€™ designated hitter and cleanup hitter. On the season, heā€™s hitting .273/.317/.460 with 11 homers and 40 RBI in 325 plate appearances over 78 games. Rotoworld Wednesday, 3:39 pm
       
    • Back in lineup
      Mountcastle (illness) will serve as Baltimore's designated hitter and bat fourth Wednesday against the Mariners, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

      Advice: After missing two games while fighting off an illness, Mountcastle will now return to the starting nine against Logan Gilbert and the M's. Mountcastle had gone 4-for-17 with an RBI and a run scored in his last five games before getting sick. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 3:31 pm
       
    • Still out Tuesday
      Mountcastle (illness) isn't in the Orioles' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

      Advice: An illness kept Mountcastle out of Sunday's game versus Texas, and he'll remain sidelined Tuesday as he continues to feel under the weather. Ryan O'Hearn will get the nod at first base while Heston Kjerstad serves as the DH. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 2:29 pm
       
    • Ryan Mountcastle remains out Tuesday due to illness
      Ryan Mountcastle (illness) remains out of the lineup for Tuesdayā€™s series opener against the Mariners.

      Advice: Mountcastle remains out of the lineup for the third straight contest due to an ongoing illness. The 27-year-old first basemanā€™s absence has led to some additional at-bats for Ryan Oā€™Hearn and top prospect Heston Kjerstad in the meantime. Rotoworld Tuesday, 2:15 pm
       
    • Returns as DH
      Candelario started at designated hitter and went 0-for-3 with a walk in Sunday's 2-0 loss to the Cardinals.

      Advice: Candelario sat out four consecutive games due to a hamstring injury before returning Sunday. Once he's ready to play the field, it won't be as the club's primary third baseman. While Candelario was out, Noelvi Marte was reinstated from a suspension and became the regular starter at third base. That means Candelario will move to either DH or first base.

    • Ryan Mountcastle sits due to illness
      Ryan Mountcastle didnā€™t play Sunday because he was ill, according to manager Brandon Hyde.

      Advice: Mountcastle also didnā€™t play Saturday, but since he occasionally sits against right-handers, that went without any explanation. That he was absent tonight against a lefty demanded one. There was no additional comment about whether the Orioles expected him to return Tuesday. Rotoworld Sunday, 8:31 pm
       
    • Dealing with illness
      Mountcastle was unavailable for Sunday's 11-2 loss to the Rangers due to an illness, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

      Advice: Mountcastle's absence from the lineup was a surprising one Sunday considering his impressive .306/.359/.494 slash line against left-handed pitchers this season, but manager Brandon Hyde clarified after the contest that Mountcastle was feeling under the weather. With Baltimore off Monday, there's a good chance that Mountcastle will be ready to go for the team's series opener in Seattle on Tuesday. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:20 pm
