One day after the Orioles scored a dozen runs in a shutout in Houston and celebrated the infusion of young prospect talent and energy on the roster, Jordan Westburg limped off the field and reminded everyone that the 2025 season is a cruel mistress.

Orioles third baseman Jordan Westburg was hit with another injury Monday when he left the game in the first inning of their game in Boston.

Westburg left the game after rounding second base in the first inning. The Orioles used the phrase “right-ankle discomfort” when describing Westburg’s injury. Mansolino said the Orioles would wait to see how Westburg felt in the morning.
