Orioles claim four players off waivers ahead of roster deadline
The Orioles reshuffled their 40-man roster ahead of a league-wide deadline, claiming right-hander Josh White, left-hander Philip Abner, catcher Zach Morgan and right-hander Chase Hampton off waivers. Outfielder Leody Taveras elected free agency after clearing waivers, while Baltimore outrighted Heston Kjerstad, Yohel Pozo and Yosver Zulueta to Triple-A; the three can become minor-league free agents. The moves largely affect the edges of the roster, with the new additions offering depth and opportunities to develop. Baltimore also extended a qualifying offer to free-agent pitcher Trevor Rogers, who is expected to decline and pursue a longer-term contract; if he signs elsewhere, the Orioles could receive a compensation draft pick.
