Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Thursday that Mateo (elbow) will miss "a significant amount of time," Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports.

Mateo landed on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a partially dislocated elbow, the result of a collision with teammate Gunnar Henderson earlier this week. The Orioles won't know more about a potential timetable for the infielder's return until the swelling goes down, but surgery is a possibility. Even if Mateo doesn't wind up going under the knife, it sounds like he'll be sidelined for at least several weeks. Jordan Westburg and Connor Norby will handle the reps at second base for now, and Jackson Holliday could also eventually get another look.

Altuve went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored Wednesday against the Athletics.

Altuve did the majority of his damage in the seventh inning when he doubled in a run and then came around to score. He's come out of the All-Star break hitting well, collecting eight hits across 24 at-bats.

The Orioles recalled Norby from Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday.

The rookie had been on the taxi squad while the Orioles evaluated Jorge Mateo (elbow), and Norby is now on the active roster after Mateo was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move. The 24-year-old Norby will see some reps at second base while Mateo is out, though the team will also use Jordan Westburg at the keystone on days Ramon Urias handles third base. Norby will start at second base and bat eighth in Thursday's series finale in Miami.

The Orioles placed Mateo on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left elbow subluxation.

Mateo suffered the partial dislocation of his elbow during Tuesday's game against the Marlins in a collision with teammate Gunnar Henderson. It's unclear how much time the infielder might miss, but an absence longer than the minimum 10 days is certainly possible. The Orioles recalled Connor Norby from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move to add depth in the infield.

Torres went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 12-3 loss to the Mets.

Torres gave the Yankees a good start with a leadoff homer to begin the bottom of the first inning. The 27-year-old has homered in consecutive games after going 15 contests without a long ball dating back to June 29. The second baseman is up to 10 homers, 37 RBI, 45 runs scored, four stolen bases, 15 doubles and a .232/.308/.363 slash line through 98 games this season.

The Orioles will recall Norby from Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports.

The 24-year-old was added to the Orioles' taxi squad Wednesday after Jorge Mateo injured his elbow during Tuesday's loss to the Marlins. With an MRI on Wednesday revealing that Mateo dislocated his elbow, he'll be placed on the injured list Thursday, with Norby set to be called up in a corresponding move. Norby went 3-for-14 with a home run and two RBI during his first stint in the majors back in June, and he's posted a .967 OPS through 137 plate appearances since being optioned back to Triple-A.

The Orioles will place Mateo on the 10-day injured list Thursday due to a dislocated left elbow, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports.

Mateo suffered the injury during a collision with teammate Gunnar Henderson while attempting to make a diving play in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Marlins. Connor Norby, who was added to Baltimore's taxi squad Wednesday, will be recalled from Triple-A Norfolk to fill the opening in the Orioles' infield and is expected to start in Thursday's series finale in Miami.

Foscue is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Travis Jankowski will get the nod at designated hitter Wednesday after Foscue went 1-for-13 with seven strikeouts while serving as Texas' DH in each of the past four contests. Even if Foscue shows improvement at the plate in his subsequent starting opportunities, it may not be enough to guarantee him an extended stay with the big club. Josh Jung (wrist) is restarting his rehab assignment Friday with Double-A Frisco, and Foscue will be the player most at risk of losing out on regular playing time once Jung is activated from the 60-day injured list.

Mateo (elbow) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Mateo will head to the bench after he was forced out of Tuesday's 6-3 loss with left elbow pain, an injury that stemmed from a collision in the field with teammate Gunnar Henderson. The Orioles sent Mateo in for an MRI and seem to be viewing him as day-to-day, but a trip to the injured list could still be in the cards for the 29-year-old. Baltimore added infielder Connor Norby to its taxi squad Wednesday and could formally call him up from Triple-A Norfolk if Mateo needs to go on the IL.

Torres will start at second base and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game versus the Mets.

After putting Jahmai Jones in the leadoff spot against a lefty Tuesday, Yankees manager Aaron Boone is giving Torres a shot there versus southpaw Sean Manaea in this one. Torres opened the season as the team's leadoff man, but this is the first time he's batted at the top of the order since April 9.
