The Orioles announced that theyve selected onto the big league roster. lands on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 21, with a left ankle sprain. Baltimore also brought up as their extra man for todays doubleheader at Fenway Park. The Os had two openings on the 40-man roster, which now sits at 39. Vavra joins the roster just before the start of Game 1. If he makes it into a game, itll be his first big league action in two seasons. He made 67 appearances for Baltimore between 2022-23. Vavra hit .254 with a solid .331 on-base percentage, but he managed just one home run with an underwhelming .304 slugging mark. Whitey Ford Jersey The Os dropped him from the 40-man roster after the 23 season. Baltimore reselected Vavras contract last summer on the day of the trade deadline. He was only on the active roster for a day and did not make an appearance. The Os briefly lost him on waivers to Seattle. Vavras tenure with the Mariners comprised three Triple-A games before they also placed him on waivers. He went unclaimed and has since circled back to the Orioles on a pair of minor league contracts. The Minnesota product provides a left-handed bat and some multi-positional flexibility off the bench for interim skipper Tony Mansolino. Vavra has played more second base than any other position in his career, but he has started games at all four infield spots and in both corner outfield places this year with Triple-A Norfolk. Hes having a nice year offensively, hitting .317 acro s 22 minor league games. Hes out of options, so the Os would need to expose him to waivers if they try to send him back to Norfolk.
