The Orioles have yet to release their full lineup for Friday, but Mountcastle will be included after sitting out the past two games with neck stiffness. The 25-year-old has endured some offensive struggles early in 2022 and has a .232/.264/.290 slash line with one home run, seven RBI, six runs and a stolen base in 72 plate appearances.
