• Greg Allen: Becomes free agent

  08/19/2025 • By RotoWire

  Allen elected to become a free agent Tuesday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports. Allen passed through waivers unclaimed after being removed from the Orioles' 40-man roster, and he's opted for free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment to the minors. The veteran outfielder went hitless over 14 plate appearances during his brief time in Baltimore.

• Orioles' Greg Allen: DFA'd by O's

  The Orioles designated Allen for assignment Saturday. Allen was signed by Baltimore on Aug. 8 and went hitless in 14 at-bats over seven games with the team. He'll yield his spot on the 26-man and 40-man rosters to make room for highly-regarded outfield prospect Dylan Beavers. Assuming Allen goes unclaimed on waivers, he'll likely remain in the Orioles organization.

• Orioles' Greg Allen: Collecting third straight start

  08/10/2025 • By RotoWire

  Allen will start in left field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Athletics. After going 0-for-6 while making starts in center field in the first two contests of the series, Allen will slide over to left Sunday while Dylan Carlson rests and Jordyn Adams enters the lineup in center. Allen looks set to be a near-everyday player in the short term while Colton Cowser (concussion) and Tyler O'Neill (wrist) are both on the injured list, but top prospect Dylan Beavers could enter the equation later this month.

  The Orioles signed Allen to a major-league contract Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. Allen was released by the Cubs earlier in August, but he'll get a fresh start and a chance to see his first MLB action since 2023. The 32-year-old switch hitter slashed .271/.358/.438 with six homers and 12 steals in 234 plate appearances with Triple-A Iowa this season. He'll likely serve as a depth piece rather than a starting lineup regular.

• Cubs' Greg Allen: Off to scorching start

  Allen went 2-for-2 with three RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Padres, and he is batting .533 this spring. Allen has gone 8-for-15 in the early going with a home run, a stolen base, six RBI and six runs scored. The veteran outfielder joined the Cubs on a minor-league contract last month and will presumably serve as organizational depth during the season, though he's making his case for an MLB role early on.
