A miserable week at the major league featured plenty of positive movement on the Orioles’ farm, with several promotions for some of the organization’s top performers over the first month of the season.
Top pitching prospect Grayson Rodriguez, right-hander Blaine Knight and outfielder Johnny Rizer, were promoted from High-A Aberdeen to Double-A Bowie, and infielders Jordan Westburg and J.D. Mundy were promoted from Low-A Delmarva to Aberdeen.
Earlier in the week, executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias said such promotions would happen once the development the Orioles thought they were seeing at the alternate site and in spring training was legitimate, and in these cases, they were.
