Orioles Activate Ryan Mountcastle from Injured List

Ryan Mountcastle has been activated from the injured list by the Baltimore Orioles ahead of Friday night's game against the Athletics. The infielder had been sidelined since May 30 due to a hamstring injury, where he was hitting .246 with two home runs in 52 games. During his nine rehab games at Triple-A Norfolk, Mountcastle posted strong numbers, going 12-for-31 with three homers and four doubles, with Statcast previously suggesting he was unlucky earlier in the season, hinting at potential for improvement.
