• Orioles' David Banuelos: Re-signs on NRI deal

  10/14/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Orioles re-signed Banuelos to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to spring training, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. Banuelos had a couple brief stints in the majors in 2024, receiving one plate appearance. He slashed .225/.360/.352 with two homers in 22 contests with Triple-A Norfolk and is likely headed back there to begin the 2025 campaign.

  Banuelos was sent outright to Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. Banuelos was DFA'd by Baltimore on Monday -- just a day after his contract was selected from Triple-A -- and he'll elect to remain with the organization after clearing waivers. The 27-year-old backstop has slashed .225/.360/.352 across 86 plate appearances in the minors this season.

  The Orioles designated Banuelos for assignment Monday. Banuelos had just been recalled Sunday when rosters expanded. However, the Orioles have decided it was more important for them to have infield protection in the form of Nick Maton -- whose contract was selected from Triple-A Norfolk -- than a third catcher in Banuelos.

  The Orioles optioned Banuelos to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday. The 27-year-old had his contract selected by Baltimore on Monday but was only with the big club one day, as prospect Heston Kjerstad was promoted Tuesday. Banuelos isn't likely to receive another look with the Orioles if Adley Rutschman and James McCann stay healthy.

  Banuelos had his contract selected from Triple-A Norfolk by the Orioles on Monday. Banuelos was optioned outright to Norfolk on Friday after clearing waivers, but he'll now return to the big-league roster. The catcher appeared in the team's 11-3 win over the Twins on April 16, failing to get on base in his only at-bat of the season. He'll replace Austin Hays (calf) on Baltimore's roster after Hays was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday, while outfielder Peyton Burdick was designated for assignment, opening a spot on the 40-man roster for Banuelos.
