Orioles general manager Mike Elias said Friday that Mateo (elbow) might not be fully recovered for the start of spring training, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's a contradiction of what Elias said in October about Mateo's recovery from UCL reconstruction surgery on his left (non-throwing) elbow, although the revised timetable does not seem to be the result of a setback. Elias did add that he expected Mateo to be ready for close to a full 162-game schedule. Mateo is slated for a utility role with the Orioles in 2025.

Orioles general manager Mike Elias said Thursday that he expects Mateo (elbow) to more or less be full go for the start of spring training, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mateo required UCL reconstruction surgery on his left elbow in late August for an injury he initially suffered in late July. Because the operation was on his non-throwing elbow, it significantly reduces the recovery time. Mateo is eligible for arbitration for a final time this winter and should be back in a utility role for the Orioles in 2025.

The Orioles announced that Mateo underwent season-ending UCL reconstruction surgery on his left elbow Wednesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mateo hadn't played since July 23 with a left elbow subluxation before eventually requiring the procedure. He'll finish the 2024 campaign with a .229/.267/.401 slash line to go with five home runs and 13 stolen bases across 68 games. The 29-year-old will enter his final year of arbitration eligibility this offseason and will likely fill a utility role if the Orioles opt to keep him on the roster in 2025.

Mateo was transferred to the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mateo was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left elbow subluxation and he will now be forced to miss two months of action while recovering. He'll be eligible to return from the IL in late September if he's able to avoid any setbacks. With Mateo unavailable, top prospect Jackson Holliday is set to join the major-league roster in Baltimore on Wednesday ahead of the team's series finale with the Blue Jays.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Thursday that Mateo (elbow) will miss "a significant amount of time," Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mateo landed on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a partially dislocated elbow, the result of a collision with teammate Gunnar Henderson earlier this week. The Orioles won't know more about a potential timetable for the infielder's return until the swelling goes down, but surgery is a possibility. Even if Mateo doesn't wind up going under the knife, it sounds like he'll be sidelined for at least several weeks. Jordan Westburg and Connor Norby will handle the reps at second base for now, and Jackson Holliday could also eventually get another look.

The Orioles placed Mateo on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left elbow subluxation.

EDGE Analysis

Mateo suffered the partial dislocation of his elbow during Tuesday's game against the Marlins in a collision with teammate Gunnar Henderson. It's unclear how much time the infielder might miss, but an absence longer than the minimum 10 days is certainly possible. The Orioles recalled Connor Norby from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move to add depth in the infield.

The Orioles will place Mateo on the 10-day injured list Thursday due to a dislocated left elbow, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mateo suffered the injury during a collision with teammate Gunnar Henderson while attempting to make a diving play in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Marlins. Connor Norby, who was added to Baltimore's taxi squad Wednesday, will be recalled from Triple-A Norfolk to fill the opening in the Orioles infield and is expected to start in Thursday's series finale in Miami.

Mateo (elbow) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Mateo will head to the bench after he was forced out of Tuesday's 6-3 loss with left elbow pain, an injury that stemmed from a collision in the field with teammate Gunnar Henderson. The Orioles sent Mateo in for an MRI and seem to be viewing him as day-to-day, but a trip to the injured list could still be in the cards for the 29-year-old. Baltimore added infielder Connor Norby to its taxi squad Wednesday and could formally call him up from Triple-A Norfolk if Mateo needs to go on the IL.

X-rays on Mateo's left arm came back negative after he was removed from Tuesday's game versus Miami following a collision with Gunnar Henderson, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Brandon Hyde said Mateo will need to undergo an MRI in order to have a good idea of what the 29-year-old is dealing with, but a clean X-ray is an encouraging sign. Until the results of Mateo's MRI come back, he should be viewed as day-to-day.

Mateo was removed from Tuesday's game against the Marlins due to a left arm injury, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mateo collided with Gunnar Henderson after both players dove for a groundball in the third inning, causing Mateo's arm to bend awkwardly. Mateo was immediately taken out of the game and replaced by Ramon Urias, and the Orioles' training staff will presumably take him in for imaging to determine the extent of his injury.
