The Orioles optioned Johnson to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
After being claimed off waivers from the Giants on Monday, Johnson appeared in four games for Baltimore and went 2-for-14 with a walk, a stolen base and three runs. He'll give up his spot to Colton Cowser (concussion), who was reinstated from the 7-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Johnson will start in center field and bat sixth in Thursday's game against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson will cover center field for a second straight game after he started and went 0-for-2 in his Orioles debut in Wednesday's 4-3 win. With Colton Cowser (concussion) and Tyler O'Neill (wrist) on the injured list and the Orioles having received little production in the outfield from the likes of Dylan Carlson, Greg Allen and Ryan Noda of late, Johnson could get the chance to play regularly.

The Orioles claimed Johnson off waivers from the Giants on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson was briefly in the majors with the Orioles last season, receiving one plate appearance. He had been designated for assignment by the Giants after going 5-for-29 at the plate for San Francisco. Johnson will join the Orioles' 26-man active roster, and he could see some playing time while Colton Cowser (concussion) and Tyler O'Neill (wrist) are on the injured list.

The Giants recalled Johnson from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson was sent down to Sacramento earlier Tuesday to make room for new acquisition Rafael Devers, but he'll now make a U-turn back to San Francisco to replace Jerar Encarnacion (oblique). Johnson will likely continue to come off the bench most days while with the Giants.
