Overview

  • On August 16, Baltimore selected the contract of top prospect Dylan Beavers from Triple-A Norfolk and designated outfielder Greg Allen for assignment to clear spots on its 26- and 40-man rosters.
  • The 24-year-old outfielder is set to make his major-league debut Saturday and is expected to receive regular playing time under interim manager Tony Mansolino.
  • Beavers earned the promotion after slashing .304/.420/.515 with 18 home runs and 23 stolen bases in 94 games for Triple-A Norfolk this season.
  • The Orioles timed the move to follow the August 15 rookie-eligibility deadline, ensuring Beavers retains his status for 2026 and maintains a shot at a prospect-promotion draft pick.
  • His call-up addresses an outfield depleted by trade-deadline departures such as Cedric Mullins and Ramón Laureano and injuries to Colton Cowser and Tyler O’Neill.
