Yet another day, another move for the Orioles. This time, they promote an outfielder, Xavier Avery, one of their better prospects to the majors. Not sure how long he will up in Baltimore, but should be starting today.
If Avery plays well, he might be up in the majors for a while.
Orioles select contract of outfielder Xavier Avery; Option RHP Stu Pomeranz to Triple-A Norfolk
The Orioles today announced that they have selected the contract of OF XAVIER AVERY and optioned RHP STU POMERANZ to Triple-A Norfolk.

To make room for Avery on the 40-man roster, the Orioles designated INF MATT ANTONELLI for assignment.
