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.

Garcia went 2-for-4 with a triple and a stolen base in Wednesday's 12-3 loss to the Padres.

Garcia snapped an 0-for-7 skid at the plate and also picked up his first steal since July 5. The infielder is up to 13 thefts on 16 attempts this season. He's added a .278/.308/.442 slash line with 11 home runs, 45 RBI, 34 runs scored and 17 doubles over 87 contests, putting him on pace for a career year in nearly every offensive category, though he remains limited to a strong-side platoon role at second base.

Bogaerts went 4-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in Wednesday's 12-3 win over the Nationals.

Bogaerts kept his bat hot and had no trouble keeping the line moving in the blowout win. He's recorded six multi-hit efforts in seven games since he returned from a fractured left shoulder, going 14-for-29 (.483) in that span, though all of those hits have been singles. The infielder is slashing .255/.296/.338 with four home runs, 15 RBI, 26 runs scored and five stolen bases over 54 contests this season, but it appears fantasy managers will have to be patient in waiting for his power to return.

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.

Lux isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.

Left-hander Robbie Ray will be making his season debut Wednesday, forcing the left-handed bat of Lux to step out of the lineup. Chris Taylor will shift to second base while Enrique Hernandez covers the hot corner.

Estrada isn't in the Giants' lineup Wednesday versus the Dodgers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Estrada went 0-for-2 during Tuesday's loss and will now sit down for the third time in San Francisco's last four games. Brett Wisely will fill the void at second base and bat ninth.

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.
