Austin Wynns will take Burdick's spot on the 40-man roster.

The Reds claimed Burdick off waivers from the Orioles and optioned him to Triple-A Louisville. It's Burdick's fourth different organization since February, and that's counting just one of his two stints with Baltimore. The 27-year-old slashed .200/.281/.368 over 139 plate appearances with the Marlins from 2022 to 2023. He can handle all three outfield spots.

The White Sox designated Burdick for assignment Wednesday. Burdick will be squeezed off the White Sox's 40-man roster as a result of Chicago receiving four players from the Padres in exchange for Dylan Cease. Burdick owns a .200/.281/.368 slash line across 139 career MLB plate appearances and went just 1-for-14 over eight games during spring training. The White Sox's poor outfield depth leaves room for Burdick to return to the big-league club this season, but he would likely need to show significant improvement at the plate first.

Burdick was claimed off waivers by the White Sox on Friday. Burdick was designated for assignment by the Orioles on Monday and will now join his third organization of the offseason.
