Mayo went 1-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Getting the start at third base and batting eighth, Mayo banged out the first hit of his big-league career with a single to lead off the fifth inning. The 22-year-old had gone 0-for-15 since his promotion coming into Wednesday, but his .301/.375/.586 slash line at Triple-A Norfolk this season is a reminder that the hits could come in bunches for Mayo once he gets comfortable.

Mayo is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Mayo has now started just one of the last five games, taking a clear back seat to Ramon Urias at third base. The rookie is still seeking his first major-league hit, having gone 0-for-15 with 10 strikeouts. It would not be a surprise to see Mayo sent back to Triple-A Norfolk soon.

Mayo is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest in Tampa Bay, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It marks the third time in four games that Mayo has been out of the Orioles' starting lineup. The rookie is 0-for-13 with eight strikeouts to begin his major-league career, and it appears he could now be behind Ramon Urias in the pecking order at third base.

Mayo isn't in the Orioles' lineup for Thursday's game against Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Mayo has struck out in eight of his first 13 major-league at-bats, and he is still searching for his first career hit after five games in the big leagues. He'll get a day to regroup Thursday while Ramon Urias starts at the hot corner and bats ninth.

Mayo is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Mayo started the Orioles' first three contests following his promotion, going 0-for-9 with a 5:2 K:BB. He'll begin this one on the bench as Ramon Urias gets the start at third base.

The Orioles selected Mayo's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 22-year-old is joining Baltimore for his first look in the big leagues after Jordan Westburg suffered a fractured right hand Wednesday. Mayo will make his MLB debut Friday in Cleveland, starting at third base and batting eighth. He's one of the top prospects in baseball and has a .301/.375/.586 slash line with 20 homers in 77 games at Triple-A this season.

The Orioles reassigned Mayo to minor-league camp Thursday, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mayo slashed just .143/.188/.214 through his 16 plate appearances this spring. He was able to reach Double-A ball last season, where he posted a .745 OPS across 149 plate appearances, and will likely return there to begin the 2023 campaign.

Mayo hit .247/.326/.456 with 19 homers and five steals across 104 games split between High-A and Double-A in 2022.

EDGE Analysis

After impressing in rookie ball last season, the 2020 fourth-rounder was pretty good in High-A (14 homers and an .821 OPS over 68 games) before largely struggling upon his promotion to Double-A (.729 OPS, 34.5 percent strikeout rate). That said, he gets a pass because of his youth, as this was Mayo's age-20 campaign. Mayo is big and projectable at 6-foot-5, 215 pounds, and he needs some time to grow into his power and learn how to hit upper-level pitching, so it'd be a surprise if he were to make his MLB debut for anything more than a cup of coffee in 2023.

Double-A Bowie reinstated Mayo (back) from its 7-day injured list, and he'll re-enter the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Akron as the team's designated hitter and No. 6 batter.

EDGE Analysis

Mayo had been out of action since July 1 with back spasms, but he was cleared to rejoin Bowie after recently wrapping up a seven-game rehab assignment between the rookie-level Florida Complex League and High-A Aberdeen. Following his late-June promotion from Aberdeen, Mayo played in only three games for Bowie before the back issue cropped up.

Mayo (back) is expected to move his rehab assignment to High-A Aberdeen on Tuesday, Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

After going 0-for-5 with a walk and a run scored over a pair of rehab games in the rookie-level Florida Complex League over the weekend, Mayo is expected to spend the entire week with Aberdeen. If he remains free of setbacks over his next few rehab games, Mayo should be activated from Double-A Bowie's 7-day injured list early next week. Mayo has been on the shelf since early July with the back injury.
