For reasons unknown, Connor Norby has joined the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards on the team’s taxi squad ahead of a matchup with the Texas Rangers.
Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Banner was first with news of the “precautionary” move.
“Connor Norby is here in Baltimore as part of the taxi squad, but it’s a precautionary move and doesn’t necessarily mean he will be activated,” Kostka tweeted on June 29.
Baltimore’s number six prospect received his first major league call-up on June 3.
Norby appeared in four games with the team, going 3-for-14 at the plate with two singles and a home run. After starting second baseman Jorge Mateo returned from an injury absence, he was optioned back to Triple-A.
The team has yet to make a transaction activating Norby, so he may just be up for injury insurance. But that would allude to a specific player or players with a chance of missing time.
Norby played second baseman during his debut stint with the Orioles.
