Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Diagnosed with fractured hand

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said that Westburg has been diagnosed with a fractured right hand after exiting Wednesday's 10-4 win over the Blue Jays, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Westburg suffered the injury on a hit-by-pitch in the bottom of the fifth inning. Hyde said that the Orioles are hoping to get Westburg back before the end of the regular season, but a clear timetable for his return hasn't yet established. Westburg's absence could open the door for top prospect Coby Mayo to receive a call-up to the majors, though the Orioles could also stick with Ramon Urias at third base and Jackson Holliday at second base.
