The Orioles have assigned catcher David Bañuelos to Triple-A Norfolk after he passed through waivers, decreasing their 40-man roster count to 38. Bañuelos was recently added to the big league roster but was likely just a short-term option as he was already traveling with the team. Although he has only three MLB plate appearances and is seeking his first hit, he is recognized for his defensive capabilities. An original Mariners draft choice, he has spent significant time in the Twins' system before joining the Orioles on minor league contracts.
