Orioles' Colin Selby: Sent to Baltimore
Rotowire
The Royals traded Selby to the Orioles on Thursday in exchange for cash, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Selby will remain in Triple-A upon joining his new organization, though he will once again hold a spot on a 40-man roster. The 26-year-old righty was DFA'd by Kansas City on Saturday after putting up a 6.23 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over 21.2 innings with Triple-A Omaha, and he'll fill in as organizational depth for the O's. Kyle Bradish (elbow) was moved to the 60-day IL in order to clear space on Baltimore's 40-man roster.

Pirates' Colin Selby: Loses 40-man spot
Rotowire
The Pirates designated Selby for assignment Tuesday.
Selby will be squeezed off the Pirates' 40-man roster following the acquisition of Joey Bart from San Francisco. The 26-year-old right-hander made 21 appearances for the Pirates in 2023, accumulating a gaudy 9.00 ERA and 1.83 WHIP across 24 innings. His Triple-A numbers have been decent since reaching Indianapolis in 2022, but his poor performance during his first MLB stint may prevent teams from claiming him off waivers.

Selby is listed as Pittsburgh's probable starting pitcher Sunday against the Yankees.
Selby will serve as an opener for the fifth time this season, and he's allowed four earned runs with a 9:3 K:BB over six frames in that role. The rookie right-hander will likely only cover an inning or two before giving way to Andre Jackson, who is expected to work in bulk relief.

Pirates' Colin Selby: Returns to Triple-A bullpen
Rotowire
Selby (shoulder) tossed a scoreless inning in relief Friday for Triple-A Indianapolis after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list earlier that day.
Selby was on the shelf for about a month due to the right shoulder injury. The 25-year-old right-handed reliever has compiled a 3.86 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 20:11 K:BB in 16.1 innings. Though he's not seen as one of the Pirates' better pitching prospects, Selby's presence on the 40-man roster should give him a chance at making his big-league debut later in 2023 if Pittsburgh has a need for another bullpen arm.

Pirates' Colin Selby: On shelf with shoulder injury
Rotowire
Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said Wednesday that Selby has been shut down at Triple-A Indianapolis due to a shoulder injury, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Selby hasn't resumed a throwing program since Indianapolis placed him on the 7-day injured list May 19 with a previously undisclosed injury. Based on where he currently stands in his recovery from the shoulder issue, Selby is likely at least a few weeks away from being ready to pitch in games.

Selby was optioned Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.
Selby pitched well in 2022 with a 2.27 ERA and eight saves over 29 appearances with Double-A Altoona and Indianapolis. The right-hander was protected from the Rule 5 Draft in November by being added to the 40-man roster, and should spend time in Pittsburgh this summer -- if not sooner.
