ARLINGTON, Texas – The Orioles won’t have Jorge Mateo on their roster for an extended stretch and could be without him for the remainder of the season.

Mateo suffered a “moderate” hamstring strain Sunday with Triple-A Norfolk, according to interim manager Tony Mansolino, and is projected to miss eight-to-12 weeks.

The past two summers have brought terrible health news to Mateo, who underwent reconstructive left elbow surgery in 2024 and didn’t play after July 23. Mateo went on the injured list this year retroactive to June 7 with left elbow inflammation resulting from an outfield collision with Heston Kjerstad.

Mateo strained his hamstring while running to first base during his rehab assignment. He was 6-for-13 with a home run for the Tides, and the Orioles held hopes of adding his speed and defensive versatility before the break.

The bat never heated up for Mateo, who slashed .180/.231/.279 in 32 games. The projected length of his absence matches the one given to first baseman Ryan Mountcastle, who sustained a Grade 2 hamstring strain. Mountcastle’s IL stint was retroactive to May 31.

ARLINGTON, Texas – The Orioles have made another series of roster moves because it’s 2025.

Catcher Chadwick Tromp went on the injured list today with a lower back strain and Jacob Stallings had his contract selected from Triple-A Norfolk. Outfielder Dylan Carlson was recalled and infielder Emmanuel Rivera was designated for assignment.

Tromp left last night’s game in the third after injuring his back on a swing. He’s 3-for-16 with a double and home run with the Orioles.

Adley Rutschman (oblique) and Maverick Handley (concussion) also are on the injured list, and the Orioles signed Stallings a week ago to provide depth. He’s spent parts of six seasons with the Pirates, two with the Marlins and two with the Rockies and is a career .143/.217/.179 hitter in 561 games.

Stallings, 35, went 4-for-10 with two RBIs in three games with Norfolk. He’s wearing No. 25.
