The Orioles announced today that they have activated infielder Luis Sardinas from the 60-day DL and outrighted him from the 40-man roster. He has the right to decline the assignment, having previously been outrighted, but is presently listed as a member of the Norfolk Tides roster.
Sardinas re-joined the O’s over the winter on a minor-league deal. He was brought onto the roster earlier this year, but lasted only eight days until he hit the shelf with back and then ankle issues.
Though he’s regarded as a quality defender at short, second, and third, Sardinas has never hit much. Through an even five hundred MLB plate appearances, he owns a .224/.274/.292 slash line with five home runs.
Might be recalled when machado gets traded?
I think so, he seems like a AAAA player, but it might just take some time for his bat to come around.
5 teams in 5 years and a lifetime .224 hitter. Ryan Flaherty without his power. There are no better options in the minors? No home grown prospects. I know Mountcastle but he can’t field.
Another Enzo Hernandez it seems…..
I guess the Orioles had bigger fish to fry.
If he clears waivers and does not accept reassignment he will be claimed by Kansas City. Write it down. Cheap switch hitting fielder. It’s a match for Dayton Moore.
