I guess we’re looking at a fracture or break at this point. Three straight games out of the lineup. Not looking good. 

A bit too soon for that. DJ Stewart missed a week with a bruise after getting hit on the hand, three days isn't uncommon at all for a bruise on the hand.

Would be nice if some reporter covering the team would ask the question.

Roch reported it as a bruise in one of his notes sections a day or so ago. That seems to be the official line from the Orioles right now

Not surprising. Blood acts like giving out information like this are state secrets. Remember, this organization has no clue on how to keep their fans, the very few that are left or care, informed. Or they really just don't care. The computer program didn't tell them to keep fans informed so they don't.

Stowers is still out.

Where's Melewski at on this?

I just looked at his last three days blogs, and the topics are all Orioles-related.   I wonder if he's been reassigned to a more MLB-oriented beat, as the Minors have had plenty of stuff the last few days to be excited about in the style of 2021 Melewski.

Or maybe MASN just can't afford for him to travel to Aberdeen.

Between Matt Blood's consistently glowing reports and times like this where injury information is nowhere to be found, I'm thinking the strategy is heavy on having all the prospects look like future superstars in order to get the best return in any trade negotiations. 

After all, a big part of accumulation of elite pipeline talent is prepping to acquire ML pitching and the like, right?

Nah, just keep moving the fences back instead of getting pitching.

    • I’m actually surprised it was only 12 missed bats yesterday. Felt like he had a lot more.
    • To do the flex plan now, you have to shell out 2500.  You can do season tickets for less than that depending on where you want to sit of course.
    • He also barley played in the outfield in the spring. All the talk about making him a super utility and "you will be seeing a lot of him in the OF" seemed like BS
    • I find it hard to be mad at him for not being a great 2B when he's being forced there due to the silly Holliday decision. And Mateo barely played 2B in spring. So it's hard not to expect him to kinda suck over there, but that's not really his fault. I expect we'll see similar things when they put him in the OF. The O's want to desperately make him a super utility guy, but he's really just a SS. We'll see. 
    • Developed?  So the Elias regime gets no credit/blame for anything he's done as a hitter?  
    • C'mon.  The dude has shown that he can go on insane heaters, but he's also going to cancel that out by being an automatic out at the plate for a few months.  I'll give you that he's exciting on the bases, but his defense isn't what it was 2 years ago.  I don't know if that's because he's regressing as a player or if he needs the steady playing time to get in a groove, but when you're talking about "baked in value" that's taking things a bit far when he put up .5 fWAR last year.   I know you're head over heels with anyone that puts on an Orioles uniform but there's so much about Mateo that's just...frustrating.  And also replaceable.  And I LIKE Mateo, he's one of my favorite bad Orioles of all time, he seems like a great teammate, clubhouse guy but there's not much value here, other than he can stand at some different positions on defense and steal a base if he gets on base...which is a monumental task for him at times.
    • Well, there are plenty of good ML hitters who don't crack the .800 OPS mark, which is just an arbitrary threshold anyway. What I meant was just that he's a quality ML bat who knows how to hit and passes the eye test of a solid MLer. He's a guy you didn't realize you miss when he's not in the lineup, and we sort of take him for granted simply because we're foaming at the mouth for Coby Mayo, understandably.  I much rather go by OPS+. Mounty is at 114, so 14% above average. You'd like it to be higher for a 1B, sure, but he also brings other skills like being decently fast, a good defender, and a knack for murdering the Blue Jays. If Mounty had stuck at 3B, we're probably not complaining as much about him.  Let's compare him to someone like Trey Mancini, who had 2 seasons that can be described as better than any of Mounty's full seasons, but then completely fell off a cliff. I'll take Mounty's steady brand of "I wish he was slightly better but I'll take it" production. He's a solid player.
