Coby Mayo is set to make his return to the MLB as the Baltimore Orioles recall their top infield prospect from Triple-A Norfolk due to Ramon Urias suffering from hamstring discomfort. At just 23 years old, Mayo has been a standout power hitter in the minors, with impressive stats including 40 home runs and a .915 OPS over the last three seasons. Despite a dismal debut last year with a .098 batting average, his recent performance shows promise, hitting .252 with six home runs in 28 games this season.

Mayo's versatility on the field, playing both third and first base, gives him an edge, especially with another competitor, Jordan Westburg, currently injured. Orioles GM Mike Elias expressed confidence in Mayo's abilities, indicating that he is on track for a significant role in the team. His ability to hit against left-handed pitching could also be a crucial asset for a team that has struggled in this area.
