Ryan Mountcastle News
Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle is not in Saturday's lineup as the Orioles will play the second game of a three-game set against the Seattle Mariners. Mountcastle has only been idle from the Baltimore starting lineup three times this season. As a result, Ryan O'Hearn will start at first base, which opens the designated hitter spot for Anthony Santander. This then allows Austin Hays to slot in at left field. O'Hearn has been a lineup lock against right-handed pitchers this season, and today is no different as he will face Luis Castillo. Hays has recently returned from a calf injury and is making his first start since April 20. Both Hays and O'Hearn are best to fade in DFS as Luis Castillo enters Saturday's match with a 3.31 ERA and 1.12 WHIP and is striking out opposing batters at an elite 29.0% mark.
Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle put together a big game in a 7-2 win over the New York Yankees on Thursday. Mountcastle went 2-for-4 with a homer, two runs, and two RBI in the win over Baltimore's AL East rivals. The veteran's homer was a solo shot off of Carlos Rodon in the third inning. The blast traveled 405 feet and had an exit velocity of 107 MPH. Mountcastle is off to a solid start in 2024, hitting .290 with five homers, 18 runs, and 16 RBI across 107 at-bats thus far.
Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle went 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Oakland Athletics. The 27-year-old has homered in back-to-back games for the first time this season. Mountcastle is enjoying solid production at the plate as he is slashing .319/.379/.527 with four homers, 14 RBI and 16 runs. He may not be the most electrifying fantasy asset, but he is worthy of a roster spot in all formats given his strong start and placement in one of the best offenses in baseball.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle might not find his name atop any offensive leaderboards but he does provide a safe floor. The 27-year-old is coming off a season in which he hit .270 with 18 home runs and a .780 OPS across 115 games played. He appeared in 144 games in 2021 and 145 in 2022 as his 18 homers from the 2023 season is a 23-homer pace in that range. And that's right about where he is projected to land in the 2024 season as ATC projects 22 home runs alongside a .264 average and 73 RBI across 128 games played. He's not a premier power-hitting first baseman but he should provide another solid floor in terms of home runs and run production. His 238.38 ADP is a reasonable one as a solid corner infielder option.
