Orioles Claim Roansy Contreras, Designate Daz Cameron

The Baltimore Orioles have claimed right-handed pitcher Roansy Contreras off waivers from the New York Yankees, marking the second time they have acquired him in less than a month. To accommodate Contreras on their 40-man roster, the Orioles designated outfielder Daz Cameron for assignment. Contreras, who has struggled recently with a 4.35 ERA, has been claimed five times this offseason, indicating significant interest from multiple teams. Cameron had a lackluster performance last season with the Oakland Athletics, leading to his designation. Additionally, infielder Luis Vázquez has cleared waivers and will be assigned to Triple-A Norfolk. If Contreras does not make the Orioles' roster out of spring training, he will again be exposed to waivers due to a lack of minor-league options.
