What do you expect from Norby?

[Frobby]

They have not yet placed Mateo on the IL or activated Norby, right?   

FWIW, Norby has the third-highest OPS of any Orioles minor leaguer in July.  He’s hitting .344/.431/.607 and leads the MiL organization in homers with 5.   

(Jackson Holliday leads the org in OPS this month at 1.181.)

I don't see how Mateo avoids the IL if he has a dislocated elbow.

Not expecting much, also expect him to be traded.

Showcased over the next few days?

Not nearly enough time before the deadline to add any useful information or insight. He's up because there's a gap to be filled at 2B/IF bench, and that's the way Elias has chosen to fill it.

Did Mateo go on the IL?

Has that been formally diagnosed?   I’ll be honest, I was very surprised he wasn’t out on the IL yesterday.  

[RZNJ]

He looked like a hitter when he was up before.  I expect him to hit.  His defense wasn’t exposed in the first cup of coffee.  I think he can turn two but I wouldn’t be surprised if we see some chinks in the defensive armor.

Not yet. I’m a little surprised, but maybe Mateo’s injury isn’t as serious as it looks.

Urias has a .791 OPS since May 1st.  However, Urias has reverse splits.  Norby should be starting vs LHP.  

[Aristotelian]

They never made an IL move so it's not clear that he will even make it to the active roster. Seems like if Mateo is seriously hurt they should have made a move yesterday rather than play with no backup infielder. If he plays, I would expect him to platoon vs LHP and hit well.

I expect Hyder to keep him on the bench for more than half the games. Same treatment as Kjerstad. 

True. Which is a terrible way to manage young players. 

[RVAOsFan]

To clear up any confusion above, I don’t think a move a been formally made but Hyde said it is coming.

Nobody gonna post the oppo taco HR displaying massive power? 
 

 

[interloper]

He made a pretty incredible play prior to the unfortunate play where he slipped.
