Mandatory Credit: Mike Watters-USA TODAY Sports The Baltimore Orioles promoted infielder/outfielder Connor Norby, a 2021 second-round draft pick, before Monday's game at Toronto.
Norby, who turns 24 on Saturday, is batting .286 with nine homers and 36 RBIs in 51 games this season at Triple-A Norfolk.
Norby's first appearance with the Orioles will be his major league debut. He has started double-digit games this year at three positions with Norfolk: second base, right field and left field.
Norby is the latest top prospect to spend time with the Orioles this season, joining middle infielder Jackson Holliday (No. 1 overall in MLB Pipeline rankings) and outfielder Heston Kjerstad. Kjerstad is ranked by MLB Pipeline as Baltimore's No. 4 prospect and Norby is No. 6.
Baltimore also recalled left-hander Nick Vespi from Norfolk, placed infielder/outfielder Jorge Mateo on the seven-day concussion injured list, and designated right-hander Thyago Vieira for assignment.
