The Baltimore Orioles claimed outfielder Luis Robert Jr. off waivers from the New York Mets, taking on his contract through 2026 and a $20 million option for 2027. Robert showcased his five-tool potential during his 2023 All-Star season but has struggled with injuries, posting a .223 batting average this season. The Orioles, needing balance in their left-handed heavy outfield, hope Robert can regain his form to contribute moving forward. They have a month to assess his performance as they plan for the future.
