They’ll have to do it without one of their regular starters.</p><p>Infielder Ryan Mountcastle was placed on the <a href="https://twitter.com/danconnolly2016/status/1704545110761902218" rel="noopener">injured list</a> with left AC joint inflammation, according to Dan Connolly. He started 86 games at first base for the Orioles this season and has appeared in 111 total. He has a .780 OPS and 39 extra-base hits.</p><p>Mountcastle will likely miss the rest of the regular season, which ends in less than two weeks. With the Orioles in line to be the one seed in the American League, their <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-playoffs-al-nl-wild-card-division-standings-seedings-tiebreakers" rel="noopener">first playoff game will be on October 7.</a></p><p>The Orioles certainly don’t want injuries, but there may not be a better time than now to have a player go down.

Hopefully, he’s better tomorrow. I’m just not sure. Obviously, you don’t want to lose anybody right now, especially Ryan.”</p><p>The O’s open up a crucial set against their AL East rivals on Thursday night, in a series that could determine the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/orioles-news-grayson-rodriguezs-electric-stuff-turning-heads-wins-keep-coming-baltimore" rel="noopener">winner of the division</a>. It is the last time the two teams will meet this regular-season. Mountcastle opened up about the injury on Wednesday night.</p><p>“Took a swing, popped and just is what it is. I don’t know what it is,” the slugger explained after the team’s 1-0 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals.</p><p>“I just played a little defense, tried to take a swing in the cage and definitely, it wasn’t ready to go. Not great, just got to get some imaging done tomorrow. Not sure what happened. It doesn’t feel good, just praying for the best.”</p><p>It looks like Mountcastle could be in jeopardy of missing some, if not all of the weekend set at Camden Yards. He already missed a month with vertigo earlier this season.</p><p>Despite a phenomenal start from Kyle Gibson, the Orioles were unable to manage a single run against the lowly Cardinals on Wednesday. After losing two of three to the NL Central dwellers, Baltimore will open their series against the Rays just two games ahead for the AL East lead.</p><p>Still, they need just four wins to clinch a playoff spot, and it looks like the Maryland-based franchise will be back in the dance for the first time since 2016. The Orioles had won their previous seven series before faltering against St. Louis, and have still won seven of their past 10 games.</p><p>But the most crucial series of the season looms — and Ryan Mountcastle could be watching from the dugout.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, if there is one silver lining amid the losing record, it’s getting to see Ryan Mountcastle show what he can do in the majors.</p><p>In fact, during Thursday’s game against the New York Yankees that saw the Orioles get a rare win, Mountcastle was phenomenal again after recording his 29th home run of the campaign. In the process, he broke Cal Ripken Jr.’s team record for most home runs by a rookie.</p><p>After witnessing the historic feat, Ripken himself took to <a href="https://twitter.com/CalRipkenJr/status/1438989227715403777" rel="noopener">Twitter</a> to react to the news and congratulated the 24-year-old for breaking his record. The Orioles legend then went on to express how lucky Baltimore is to have the left-fielder on their side.</p><blockquote>“Congratulations to Ryan on setting the new O’s rookie home run record. He’s a dynamic player. I wish him nothing but the best and excited to watch him in the years to come. All Orioles fans should be excited that he’s on our team,” Ripken wrote while sharing the video of the record-breaking home run by Mountcastle.</blockquote><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Congratulations to Ryan on setting the new O’s rookie home run record.
