Infielder Connor Norby, the No. 6 prospect in the organization per MLB Pipeline, is on the Orioles’ taxi squad. However, it’s a precaution and might not include his return to the active roster.
Norby went 3-for-14 with a home run before the Orioles optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk. He’s batting .286/.380/.498 with 20 doubles, a triple, 11 home runs and 45 RBIs in 65 games with the Tides.
Norby’s double last night tied him with Blake Davis for the sixth-most hits in Norfolk history as an Orioles affiliate with 252. He also moved into sole possession of third for doubles with 62.
Jordan Westburg didn’t play last night and he’s on the field this afternoon with an athletic trainer. Austin Hays was working out in the outfield yesterday with athletic trainers present and also stayed on the bench. Tonight’s lineup hasn’t been posted.
