Jordan Westburg Anticipated Return Sparks Orioles Infield Logjam Debate

As Jordan Westburg prepares for his expected return after missing the entire 2026 season, the Baltimore Orioles face a crowded infield picture. With regular third base duties filled last season by Coby Mayo, Blaze Alexander, and Christian Encarnacion-Strand, and Jackson Holliday at second base, analysts suggest the O's could plug Westburg in at second base to ease him back, explore trades, or manage options for a roster featuring five players for two positions.
