Baltimore Orioles' first baseman Ryan Mountcastle will miss 8 to 12 weeks due to a hamstring injury.

Baltimore Orioles' first baseman Ryan Mountcastle will miss 8 to 12 weeks due to a Grade 2 right hamstring strain, a moderate injury involving a partial muscle tear. This absence is expected to impact the team's performance and takes Mountcastle out of the trade candidate pool, as he won't return until after the July 31 deadline. With Mountcastle sidelined, the team is adjusting its lineup, recalling players like Coby Mayo and potentially welcoming Jordan Westburg and Gary Sánchez back soon.
