The Orioles outrighted Soto to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

The Orioles designated Soto for assignment Friday.

The Orioles optioned Soto to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Soto was deemed expendable as the Orioles get a couple infielders back from the injured list in Jordan Westburg (hand) and Ramon Urias (ankle). He's put up an .862 OPS in 12 games during his time with Baltimore in 2024.

Soto is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Soto had started at second base in each of the previous three games, but he'll give way to Jackson Holliday on Wednesday. Holliday's ongoing struggles at the plate has opened the door for Soto to pick up playing time, with the latter going 3-for-8 with a double and walk over his three starts.

The Orioles recalled Soto from Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Soto will come up from the minors and will serve as infield depth with Jordan Westburg (hand) heading to the injured list in a corresponding move. The 24-year-old has played in just one major-league game this season with the Reds, but he owns a .279/.378/.375 slash line through 329 plate appearances at the Triple-A level between three different organizations.

The Orioles will recall Soto from Triple-A Norfolk, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Jordan Westburg set to miss an extended period of time after being diagnosed with a fractured hand Wednesday, the Orioles will call upon Soto to replenish their infield depth. The 24-year-old was acquired from the Reds on Tuesday, and he has slashed .279/.378/.375 with 39 RBI across 329 plate appearances in Triple-A this season. Jackson Holliday and Gunnar Henderson will likely start most days at second base and shortstop, respectively, while Westburg is out. However, Soto could pick up an occasional start whenever one of the regular starters receive a day off.
