Orioles Promote Top Prospect Samuel Basallo for MLB Debut

The Orioles promoted top prospect Samuel Basallo to the majors, replacing Zach Eflin on the roster, and made several other roster adjustments including activating outfielder Colton Cowser. Basallo, a 21-year-old catcher with impressive Triple-A stats, is now expected to contribute at the MLB level, though his defensive skills remain under evaluation. The team is managing a crowded outfield and infield, with potential playing time for other prospects and injured players, as they navigate the final weeks of the season.
