Orioles Secure Outfielder Sam Hilliard in Braves Claim

The Baltimore Orioles have claimed outfielder Sam Hilliard off waivers from the Atlanta Braves, while designating right-hander Joey Krehbiel for assignment. The Braves have assigned infielder Andrew Velazquez and right-hander Ben Heller outright to the minors. Hilliard, who was acquired by the Braves last offseason, showed promise with his power but struggled offensively. He will join a crowded outfield roster in Baltimore. Krehbiel had a decent season as a reliever for the Orioles but struggled in higher-leverage situations. Velazquez and Heller will likely reach minor league free agency, with Heller having the option to elect free agency early.

The Braves currently sit atop the NL East with a 17-9 record, holding a two-game lead over second-place New York and a four-game lead over both Miami and Philadelphia.

Ozuna's contract and injuries to the roster have left him with more playing time than he might be afforded if the lineup were at full strength. Meanwhile, Michael Harris II is heading out on a minor league rehab assignment, and Sam Hilliard's hot start to the season figures to keep him in the mix even after Harris is back. However, Hilliard's high strikeout rate and good fortune on balls in play point to clear regression.
