The Orioles optioned Soto to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday.

Soto was with the Orioles for just one day and did not see any action. He's making room on the roster for the arrival of Coby Mayo.

Fry went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run Thursday in a 10-3 win against the Orioles.

Fry contributed to an impressive display by Cleveland's offense with a three-run blast in the third inning. The long ball put an end to a 43-game homerless stretch for the first-time All-Star. Of Fry's nine home runs this season, seven came during an 18-game span from May 8 to May 31.

The Orioles recalled Soto from Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday.

Soto will come up from the minors and will serve as infield depth with Jordan Westburg (hand) heading to the injured list in a corresponding move. The 24-year-old has played in just one major-league game this season with the Reds, but he owns a .279/.378/.375 slash line through 329 plate appearances at the Triple-A level between three different organizations.

The Orioles will recall Soto from Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

With Jordan Westburg set to miss an extended period of time after being diagnosed with a fractured hand Wednesday, the Orioles will call upon Soto to replenish their infield depth. The 24-year-old was acquired from the Reds on Tuesday, and he has slashed .279/.378/.375 with 39 RBI across 329 plate appearances in Triple-A this season. Jackson Holliday and Gunnar Henderson will likely start most days at second base and shortstop, respectively, while Westburg is out. However, Soto could pick up an occasional start whenever one of the regular starters receives a day off.

Stanton is starting at DH and batting fourth Wednesday versus Philadelphia.

Stanton was activated off the injured list Monday and started at DH before beginning Tuesday's game on the bench. The slugger is back starting Wednesday, and he's in a prime position in the order, batting cleanup between Aaron Judge and the newly acquired Jazz Chisholm, who's hit four homers in his past two games. That could give Stanton ample run-producing and run-scoring opportunities, though he's gone hitless in five at-bats since his return.

Vargas will start in left field and bat second in Wednesday's game versus the Royals.

The presumption was that Vargas would return to playing the infield after landing with the White Sox in a trade. However, after making his debut with his new club at designated hitter on Tuesday, he's now being used in the outfield. Vargas could still wind up playing a lot of third base and/or second base, but on Wednesday, the White Sox will have Nick Senzel cover the hot corner and Lenyn Sosa man the keystone.

Vargas went 0-for-4 in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Royals.

Vargas made his debut with the White Sox after being traded from the Dodgers on Monday. He served as the designated hitter and hit second in the lineup. The White Sox could eventually have Vargas see time at third base, second base or in the corner outfield, and the final two months of the campaign should offer him the opportunity for his most consistent playing time in the majors.

The Orioles acquired Soto and outfielder Austin Slater from the Reds on Tuesday in exchange for cash, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Soto was designated for assignment earlier in the day by the Reds, but the Orioles -- who claimed Soto on April 11 only to DFA him five days later -- swooped in and got him at the deadline. Given that Soto has minor-league options remaining, he will likely stick with Triple-A Norfolk for the time being.

The Orioles acquired Jimenez from the White Sox on Tuesday for left-hander Trey McGough, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Jimenez has a .240/.297/.345 slash line in the final guaranteed year of his contract, and Chicago was finally able to offload what little remains of that deal. He also has a $16.5 million club option with a $3 million buyout for 2025. Jimenez won't significantly move the needle for the Orioles, but he could see some starts against left-handed pitching since primary designated hitter Ryan O'Hearn typically starts versus righties.

Larnach is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

Larnach will avoid a matchup with southpaw Sean Manaea on Tuesday. Larnach has now missed the starting nine in four consecutive games, three of which have come against lefties. Austin Martin will play left field in Larnach's place Tuesday.
