The Orioles announced that outfielder Will Robertson has been designated for assignment. The move opens up a 40-man roster spot for Zach Eflin, whose one-year, $10MM deal to return to the O’s is now official.
Robertson has been on Baltimore’s roster for less than a month, after the club claimed him off the Pirates’ waiver wire a few weeks back. This transaction came after Robertson went from the White Sox to Pittsburgh on another waiver claim in October, and after the Sox acquired Robertson from the Blue Jays in a July deal for cash considerations.
