The Orioles announced that outfielder Will Robertson has cleared waivers and been assigned outright to Triple-A Norfolk. He was designated for assignment December 28th when the O’s signed Zach Eflin. DFA limbo is normally capped at a week but the rules are looser around the holidays, which led to Robertson hanging out there for almost two weeks.
Robertson, 28, has never played for the Orioles. He was claimed off waivers from the Pirates in December. The Orioles love to claim players and them put them back on waivers later, hoping to keep the player in a non-roster capacity.
