baltimore orioles First baseman Ryan Mountcastle was placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Saturday, amid his bout with vertigo

In other moves on Tuesday, orioles Catcher Mark Kolozsvri was called up from Triple-A Norfolk and right-hander Noah Denauer was designated for assignment.

The 26-year-old Mountcastle last played with the team on Thursday, citing illness as the reason he missed the next three games. He has struggled this season, batting a career-low .227 with 11 home runs and 39 RBI. He has struck out 64 times in 60 games.

Kolojswari, 27, was a seventh-round pick by Cincinnati in the 2017 draft and appeared in 10 games for the Reds last season. He hit .200 with one homer and three RBI.

In 25 games between Norfolk and Double-A Bowie this season, Kolozsvri is batting .172 with three homers and nine RBIs.

Denauer, 25, was 1-0 with a 5.04 ERA in 30 1/3 innings at Norfolk. His control has been a concern, with 22 walks to go along with 31 hits in 14 appearances (four starts). In 2022, he issued just 17 walks in 71 2/3 innings spread over three minor league teams.
