Mountcastle went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 5-4 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Mountcastle hit an RBI single and stole second in the eighth inning. He's 2-for-6 with a walk and three RBI in two games since returning from a sinus issue. The 25-year-old owns a .278/.316/.495 slash line with 14 home runs, four steals, 43 RBI, 35 runs scored and 19 doubles through 301 plate appearances. He should continue to see regular time at first base while routinely hitting in the heart of the order.

Mountcastle (illness) will remain out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers, but he's hopeful to start in Thursday's series opener against the Angels, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though he'll be on the bench for the second game in a row while he battles a sinus issue, Mountcastle was at least able to take part in a pregame workout Wednesday. Mountcastle took approximately 30 swings and but was still feeling somewhat woozy afterward, according to Kubatko, which may have prompted the Orioles to exercise some extra caution with the 25-year-old. The first baseman is expected to be available off the bench, per Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com.

Mountcastle is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers due to a sinus issue, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mountcastle's ailment doesn't sound like a major concern, as the Orioles are likely just erring on the side of caution by withholding him from the lineup while he's under the weather. Adley Rutschman will serve as Baltimore's designated hitter while Mountcastle takes a seat, opening up a starting role behind the plate for No. 2 backstop Robinson Chirinos.

Mountcastle went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in a 3-1 win over the Twins on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Mountcastle added to his extra-base hit totals, belting his 14th home run and 18th double of the year off Devin Smeltzer. The 25-year-old first baseman has continued to make strides this season. He has maintained a home run pace similar to last season when he went yard 33 times, all while making better contact and getting on base more consistently. Mountcastle is slashing .283/.321/.506 and the young power hitter's development is a bright spot for an Orioles team in a rebuilding year.

Mountcastle went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 2-0 loss to the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Mountcastle had the Orioles' lone hit Tuesday, and he was also on the front end of a double-steal with Adley Rutschman in the fourth inning. Though he's hit well for much of June, Mountcastle has cooled off by going 3-for-20 in his last five games. He's still hitting a steady .271/.306/.478 with 13 home runs, 38 RBI, 33 runs scored and three steals through 271 plate appearances.

Mountcastle went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 9-2 win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Mountcastle hadn't homered since going yard twice June 15 versus the Blue Jays. In his last 11 contests, he's batted .289 (13-for-45) with five extra-base hits. The 25-year-old is up to a .271/.307/.482 slash line with 13 homers, 38 RBI, 33 runs scored, two stolen bases and 14 doubles through 63 games overall. He should continue to see regular playing time at first base while also featuring at designated hitter and in left field on occasion.

Mountcastle went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles and a run scored in Thursday's 4-0 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Mouncastle has hit safely in 14 of his last 16 games, going 23-for-66 (.348) with seven multi-hit efforts in that span. Even amid a strong season, this is an impressive extended surge of hitting for the 25-year-old. He's up to a .281/.316/.494 slash line with 12 home runs, 37 RBI, 31 runs scored, two stolen bases and 14 doubles in 59 contests overall. He should continue to be productive as he hits anywhere from second to fifth in the order in a near-everyday role.

EDGE Analysis
Mountcastle played a key role in the Orioles' comeback push, hitting a solo shot in the seventh inning and a game-tying two-run blast in the eighth. The 25-year-old has found his power in June, crushing four homers in his last four games. For the season, he's up to 12 long balls, 33 RBI, 27 runs scored, two stolen bases, 10 doubles and a .267/.305/.490 slash line through 52 contests. Seven of his last nine hits have gone for extra bases.
