Jordan Westburg, the promising third baseman for the Baltimore Orioles, has left Friday night's crucial game against the Tampa Bay Rays due to discomfort in his left hand. The Orioles, currently vying for a playoff spot, will be closely monitoring Westburg's condition as they head into a critical phase of the season.

Westburg's performance has been a bright spot for the Orioles, and his absence could impact their lineup significantly. With the team pushing for a playoff berth, every game counts, and the loss of a key player like Westburg raises questions about the depth of the Orioles' roster and their ability to cope with injuries.
