The Orioles have had to resort to backup plans for half of their infield.

Suddenly with fresh life at playing time in the wake of Jordan Westburg's oblique injury, Mayo is carrying a 1.227 OPS and his double came off the bat at a game-high 111.5 exit velocity. Mayo is definitely in the AL-only conversation at third base. He may yet mount a case to be in the mixed league discussion if he keeps hitting like this.
