"Baltimore Orioles Make Major League Deal with Tony Kemp Amid Roster Uncertainty"

The Baltimore Orioles have signed Tony Kemp to a major league contract and designated Nick Maton for assignment. Kemp, coming off a decent stretch with the A’s, will take on a multi-positional bench role with the Orioles, providing a lefty-swinging complement to the right-handed heavy lineup. Maton's poor performance in spring training has cost him his roster spot, and the Orioles will now have a week to trade him or try to pass him through waivers. The team is still deciding on the final structure of its bench before Opening Day, with one spot left for either Tyler Nevin or Colton Cowser.

Detroit Tigers shuffle infield prospects in search of success.

The Detroit Tigers have optioned infielder Nick Maton to Triple-A Toledo after a tough start to the 2023 season. With a lack of left-handed hitters in the lineup, top outfield prospect Parker Meadows could be a viable option to replace Maton. Meadows has been performing well in Triple-A, with a .926 OPS in June and a 15-game hit streak. The Tigers may want to call him up for a longer look rather than just a week or two, and his left-handed bat and power could be a boost to the lineup.
