The wait for Gunnar Henderson is nearly over
Gunnar Henderson is going to be called up to the big leagues this season. It’s not a matter of if, but when. The Orioles are keeping a 40-man roster spot open for him. This past week the prospect has been given starts at first and second base, two areas where the big league squad has a need. It’s all building up to a promotion that should come sometime this week.
The timing feels ideal in that the Orioles have seemed to stagnate at their current spot in the playoff race over the last week or two, bouncing somewhere between a tie and 2.5 games back of the final wild card spot. The roster needs a boost, and the most obvious position that could use a jump in production is second base.
