Orioles' Jorge Mateo: Could be limited in spring training
Baltimore Orioles general manager Mike Elias said Friday that Jorge Mateo (elbow) might not be fully recovered for the start of spring training, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.That contradicts what Elias said in October about Mateo's recovery from UCL reconstruction surgery on his left (non-throwing) elbow, although the revised timeline does not seem to be the result of a setback. Elias did add that he expected Mateo to be ready for close to a full 162-game schedule. The veteran infielder is slated for a utility role with the Orioles in 2025.

Orioles' Jorge Mateo: Expected to be ready for spring
Baltimore Orioles general manager Mike Elias said Thursday that he expects Jorge Mateo (elbow) to more or less be full go for the start of spring training, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.Mateo required UCL reconstruction surgery on his left elbow in late August for an injury he initially suffered in late July. Because the operation was on his non-throwing elbow, it significantly reduces the recovery time. Mateo is eligible for arbitration for a final time this winter and should be back in a utility role for the Orioles in 2025.

Orioles' Jorge Mateo: Out for season
The Baltimore Orioles announced that Jorge Mateo underwent season-ending UCL reconstruction surgery on his left elbow Wednesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.Mateo hadn't played since July 23 with a left elbow subluxation before eventually requiring the procedure. He'll finish the 2024 campaign with a .229/.267/.401 slash line to go with five home runs and 13 stolen bases across 68 games.

Orioles' Jorge Mateo: Will miss 'significant' time
Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Thursday that Jorge 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.
