The Orioles announced that outfielder Jhonkensy Noel has cleared outright waivers and will join Triple-A Norfolk, remaining in Baltimore’s system without occupying a roster spot. Noel, 24, has shown power with 19 home runs in 351 plate appearances but struggled with a low batting average and high strikeout rate. His performance in Triple-A has been better, with a .285/.349/.538 slash line and a 130 wRC+. Despite potential success, his path to the majors is challenging due to a crowded outfield.
