"The Orioles have claimed outfielder Will Robertson off waivers from the Pirates, according to Jake Rill of MLB.com. There wasn't any previous indication Robertson was on the wire but it seems the Bucs tried to sneak him through waivers in order to open a 40-man spot. The Orioles swooped in to grab him, so Pittsburgh loses Robertson but they do open a roster spot, going from 39 to 38."

The Orioles claimed outfielder Will Robertson off waivers from the Pirates. Pittsburgh placed Robertson on waivers in an apparent move to open a 40-man roster spot. The claim resulted in Pittsburgh losing Robertson while successfully opening a roster spot, reducing their 40-man count from 39 to 38. Baltimore's 40-man roster had a vacancy prior to the claim but is now full after adding Robertson. The transaction was unexpected given the lack of prior indication that Robertson was on waivers. Additional roster moves or details may follow as teams adjust to the waiver claim.
