Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Uncertain timeline for return
Manager Brandon Hyde relayed Monday that he wasn't sure when Ryan Mountcastle (wrist) would return from the 10-day injured list, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.Mountcastle sprained his left wrist Aug. 22 against Houston while sliding into second base. He was placed on the 10-day injured list four days later, but it wasn't until Friday that he started swinging a bat by hitting off a tee. The Baltimore Orioles are in a tight race in the AL East with the Yankees, but they have a comfortable lead in the AL Wild Card, so there could be caution in bringing Mountcastle back into the fold to avoid aggravating his wrist injury. From the end of the All-Star break to his placement on the IL, Mountcastle had a slash line of .259/.296/.370 with one home run and 18 RBI across 115 plate appearances.
