Mandatory Credit: Kim Klement Neitzel-USA TODAY Sports Infielder Coby Mayo, one of the top prospects in baseball, is expected to make his major league debut Friday for the Baltimore Orioles, according to multiple reports.
Mayo, 22, has an OPS of .929 across parts of four minor league seasons since being taken by the Orioles with a 2020 fourth-round pick out of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla.
Rated as the No. 15 prospect by MLB Pipeline, Mayo is batting .301 with 20 home runs and 61 RBIs in 77 games this season at Triple A-Norfolk.
His call-up likely is a response to an injury to All-Star infielder Jordan Westburg, who landed on the 10-day injured list Thursday. Westburg, 25, sustained a broken right hand when he was hit by a pitch from Yerry Rodriguez in the fifth inning of Wednesday's 10-4 win against the Toronto Blue Jays.
The Orioles will meet the Guardians in Cleveland on Friday in the second game of a four-game series. Baltimore is tied with the New York Yankees for first place in the American League East after a 10-3 loss to the Guardians on Thursday.
