Orioles Activate All-Stars Jordan Westburg and Ramón Urías for Playoff Push

Westburg returns from a fractured hand and Urías from an ankle sprain as Baltimore aims to secure a postseason spot.

  • The Baltimore Orioles reinstated infielders Jordan Westburg and Ramón Urías from the 10-day injured list ahead of their series finale against the Detroit Tigers.
  • Westburg, a first-time All-Star this season, had been sidelined since July 31 due to a fractured right hand and returned to start at second base and bat second.
  • Urías, who missed three weeks with a right ankle sprain, started at third base and hit eighth in the lineup.
  • Westburg and Urías' returns come as the Orioles hold a 4.5-game lead in the American League wild-card race, with a playoff berth within reach.
  • The Orioles have struggled offensively in their absence, posting a 21-25 record since Westburg's injury and averaging only 4.2 runs per game.
