Mountcastle is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Mountcastle will get a breather for the series finale in Cleveland after he had started in each of the Orioles' last eight games while going 8-for-33 with three extra-base hits, nine RBI and four runs. He'll cede his spot in the lineup to trade-deadline pickup Eloy Jimenez, who serves as the Orioles' designated hitter while Ryan O'Hearn fills in for Mountcastle at first base.

Mountcastle went 4-for-7 with a home run, two RBI, two runs and two walks over both games of Monday's doubleheader split with the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Mountcastle did the majority of his damage in Game 1, when he collected three hits, including a solo homer and a run-scoring single. The slugger started at first base in the matinee and at DH in the nightcap. Mountcastle has been very productive of late, batting a robust .440 (11-for-25) with nine RBI over his past seven contests.

Mountcastle went 2-for-5 with four RBI and one run scored in Sunday's win against San Diego.
EDGE Analysis
Interestingly, Mountcastle did not log an extra-base hit, instead plating four runners on a pair of two-run singles. The 27-year-old hasn't homered since July 6 but he has been productive for fantasy managers as part of a potent Orioles offense. The first-baseman owns a .270 average with 12 home runs, 50 RBI and 46 runs scored in 96 games played this season.

Mountcastle went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Mountcastle plated the winning run in the 10th inning, as his line drive knocked in initial runner Jordan Westburg. Mountcastle was then thrown out trying to take second base when Cedric Mullins was also thrown out at home on the same play. Over his last 10 games, Mountcastle is 12-for-38 (.316) with just two extra-base hits and two RBI. The first baseman is slashing .271/.310/.441 on the year, adding 12 home runs, 44 RBI, 45 runs scored, 23 doubles and three stolen bases through 93 contests.

Mountcastle is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
After going 0-for-8 with three strikeouts in the Orioles' series with the Rangers over the weekend, Mountcastle bounced back with a pair of hits in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to Miami. He'll cede a start at first base to Ryan O'Hearn on Wednesday, but Mountcastle's spot in the Orioles' everyday lineup still appears fairly secure.

Mountcastle went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Mountcastle's steal was his third of the year, putting him one shy of matching his career high. The first baseman's speed isn't notable, but he's been steady at the plate, going 10-for-40 (.250) over 10 contests in July. Overall, he's slashing .271/.311.,447 with 12 home runs, 43 RBI, 44 runs scored, 22 doubles and a triple through 88 games this season.

Mountcastle went 3-for-4 in Wednesday's 4-0 loss to the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Mountcastle has gone 6-for-24 (.250) over six games in July, a continuation of his performance from June, when he batted .248 across 28 contests. It's a bit of a slump for the first baseman, but not one that has cost him playing time, though he has dropped in the order versus right-handers. He's slashing .272/.314/.454 with 12 home runs, 42 RBI, 44 runs scored, 21 doubles and two stolen bases across 84 games this season.

He's slashing .271/.313/.459 with 42 RBI, 44 runs scored, 21 doubles and two stolen bases across 81 contests.
