The Baltimore Orioles are expected to promote Henry Urrutia from the minors, according to MASN's Roch Kubatko. Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal confirmed the report.
Orioles to promote OF Henry Urrutia from Triple-A, per reports
The Orioles will need to make room for the 26-year-old Cuban slugger.
Derick E. Hingle-US PRESSWIRE
Urrutia is a 26-year-old from Las Tunas, Cuba. He’s yet to make his MLB debut, but has looked very good on the Orioles’ Double-A and Triple-A squads this season. In 67 games in the minors across the two levels this year, Urrutia is batting .365/.427/.531 with 20 doubles, one triple, seven home runs and 43 RBI.
It’s unclear where Urrutia fits on the Orioles’ roster, considering the outfield is set and currently without injuries, but there’s a possibility he fits in as a left-handed designated hitter that could enjoy the occasional spot-start in the outfield.
It's also currently unclear where the Orioles find room for him on both the 25- and 40-man rosters, but Kubatko speculates that Chris Dickerson or Ryan Flaherty could be on their way out to make room for him.
