Orioles Select Terrin Vavra

By Anthony Franco | May 24, 2025 at 12:09pm CDT

The Orioles announced that they’ve selected Terrin Vavra onto the big league roster. Ramón Laureano lands on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 21, with a left ankle sprain. Baltimore also brought up Trevor Rogers as their extra man for today’s doubleheader at Fenway Park. The O’s had two openings on the 40-man roster, which now sits at 39.

Vavra joins the roster just before the start of Game 1. If he makes it into a game, it’ll be his first big league action in two seasons. He made 67 appearances for Baltimore between 2022-23. Vavra hit .254 with a solid .331 on-base percentage, but he managed just one home run with an underwhelming .304 slugging mark. The O’s dropped him from the 40-man roster after the ’23 season.

Baltimore reselected Vavra’s contract last summer on the day of the trade deadline. He was only on the active roster for a day and did not make an appearance. The O’s briefly lost him on waivers to Seattle. Vavra’s tenure with the Mariners comprised three Triple-A games before they also placed him on waivers. He went unclaimed and has since circled back to the Orioles on a pair of minor league contracts.

The Minnesota product provides a left-handed bat and some multi-positional flexibility off the bench for interim skipper Tony Mansolino. Vavra has played more second base than any other position in his career, but he has started games at all four infield spots and in both corner outfield places this year with Triple-A Norfolk. He’s having a nice year offensively, hitting .317 across 22 minor league games. He’s out of options, so the O’s would need to expose him to waivers if they try to send him back to Norfolk.

    Remember hearing about him years ago. Another top prospect who didn’t make the splash they predicted

      Vavra was a top prospect? He was acquired from COL (??) for Castro (??) I think years ago. But “top” prospect, I don’t think so. Pretty sure he was never a top 100 nationally or top 5 organizationally.

        It was Mychal Givens. They got Vavra and Tyler Nevin. Andyou are correct. Vavra was around #20 for the Rockies when he was traded. He was a 3rd or 4th rounder, so he has SOME prospect cred, but not that much.

      He was never considered a top prospect so just stop. He was considered a potential utility player with a very high baseball IQ, but serious injuries sidetracked him.

      The only top prospects were/are Gunnar, Jackson Cowser, Westburg Adley, Kjerstad and Mayo. The first 4 have lived up to it. Adley has but for his current funk. Heston has less than 200 AB’s so we will see. Mayo has taken a big step back but is still very young.

      So please just stop with this crap. They are devastated by injuries and some of the healthy guys are pressing.

      It is time to cut ties with Mullins, Mountcastle and some relievers but they can’t until guys like Westburg and Cowser come back.

      He’s a candidate to be a post hype sleeper.

        All done, turning the act over to Vivian, who is provocative but also can be vindictive.

    Vavra kept chasing his dream and after a very long wait, he’s an MLBer again.

    Congrats, bud!

      I like his game. Confident, free flowing. Plays like he belongs. Not intimidated by the bright lights of the show.

      He got hurt and disappeared for awhile. I hope he gets a shot.

    Should call up Mayo and let him sink or swim. Nothing to lose now

      Yeah, I would dump Mountcastle for whatever we can get for him and let Mayo play 1B everyday the rest of the year. Now is the time to find out if he can be a contributor in 2026.

      Instead of thinking, believing, and commenting constantly about a lockout in 2026 on MLBTR articles, you could’ve took the time to also know he’s Terrin Vavra, MLB player for the Orioles, who’s also the son of Joe Vavra, former Tigers pitching coach.

    Should have hit Vavra for Mateo in the 10th.
