The Baltimore Orioles are trying to work their way back to the top of the American League East standings. Ahead of a game Saturday against the Houston Astros, the club is making a few roster moves. Baltimore is designating outfielder Greg Allen for assignment, per the team.
The Orioles are also selecting the contract of outfielder Dylan Beavers, from Triple-A Norfolk. He will wear the no. 12 for the club, when he makes his MLB debut. He is one of the club's most promising prospects in their farm system.
Allen was having a rough go of it in Baltimore. He was signed by the team in early August, but was hitless in 14 total at-bats. He appeared in seven games for the O's.
The journeyman has played previously for the Cleveland Guardians, Pittsburgh Pirates, San Diego Padres and New York
