Manager Brandon Hyde said Sunday after the Orioles' 7-5 loss to the White Sox that Mountcastle (forearm) should be available for the team's first game out of the All-Star break Friday in Kansas City, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.
Hyde suspects Mountcastle will be sore over the next few days after being struck in the arm by a pitch Sunday, but the 24-year-old should have enough time during the break to overcome the injury. After his early exit Sunday, Mountcastle concludes the first half with a .255/.305/.447 slash line to go with 14 home runs, 48 RBI, 39 runs and three stolen bases across 328 plate appearances.
