Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle to miss 8–12 weeks with hamstring strain, reshaping Baltimore's roster.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle is expected to be out eight to 12 weeks with a right hamstring strain that has already landed him on the injured list.

Yes, it’s a big ask for the O’s to get back in contention by the July 31 deadline to make deals. As pointed out, the team has a number of pitchers such as Zach Eflin, Tomoyuki Sugano, Charlie Morton, Gregory Soto and Seranthony Dominguez headed to free agency after this season, along with outfielders Cedric Mullins, Ryan O’Hearn and Ramón Laureano.
