It’s finally happening! As we anticipated yesterday evening, the Baltimore Orioles are calling up outfielder DJ Stewart to the major league roster, taking the open roster spot left by the optioning of RHP Evan Phillips to AAA Norfolk after Monday’s win over the Detroit Tigers.
The move may not be permanent, however, Stewart has proven there is nothing left for him to accomplish in the minor leagues. He now has his second opportunity to make some noise at the major league level.
Immediately after Monday’s game, the Baltimore Orioles announced they had optioned Evan Phillips, but made no corresponding move.
