Draws start in left field
Kjerstad will start in left field and bat seventh in Wednesday's contest against the Guardians.
Impact
The left-handed hitting Kjerstad sat out Tuesday's game versus a southpaw, but he's now started both contests against right-handers since his recall Monday. Kjerstad had two hits -- including a double -- in Monday's game.

Expected to be called up Monday
Kjerstad is set to be called up to the major-league roster Monday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Impact
Kjerstad spent a little over two weeks with the Orioles in late April and early May, going 2-for-14 with two walks and six strikeouts while appearing in seven contests. Since being sent down to Triple- Norfolk on May 13, the 25-year-old produced a .268 average with six home runs, 28 RBI, 23 runs and a stolen base over 34 contests and he'll look to carry his momentum into his second stint with Baltimore in 2024. It's unclear who Kjerstad will replace on the major-league roster, but with Colton Cowser struggling to a .170 average with four extra-base hits over 53 at-bats in June, it's possible that Cowser is the odd man out.

Plates 10 runs at Triple-A
Kjerstad went 5-for-7 with two home runs, two doubles, 10 RBI and two additional runs Wednesday in Triple-A Norfolk's 26-11 win over Charlotte.
Impact
The Norfolk roster is teeming with four of the top hitting prospects in baseball in Kjerstad, Jackson Holliday, Connor Norby and Cody Mayo, and the quartet lived up to its billing Wednesday in a rout of Charlotte. Kjerstad led the way with five hits and 10 RBI, but Holliday, Norby and Mayo combined 11 hits and six RBI while No. 5 batter Kyle Stowers chipped in two home runs and seven RBI of his own. On the heels of his blistering performance at the dish, Kjerstad now owns a monstrous 1.785 OPS over five games for Norfolk on the season.

Sent to Triple-A
The Orioles optioned Kjerstad to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact
Kjerstad struggled to a .580 OPS in 18 spring games, so it's not a surprise he missed out on Baltimore's Opening Day roster given the club's strong group of position players. The 25-year-old had an .869 OPS in 76 contests at Norfolk last season and should receive another look with the Orioles at some point in 2024.

From SEC rivals to Orioles teammates, Jordan Westburg and Heston Kjerstad share 'same path'
After each reaching the majors in 2023, SEC products Jordan Westburg and Heston Kjerstad are key parts of the Orioles’ long-term plans.

Struggling in spring
Kjerstad has gone 2-for-14 over his first five Grapefruit League games.
Impact
That's not a good look for Kjerstad, who is in the midst of a tough battle for a roster spot. The Orioles' outfield is set with Austin Hays, Cedric Mullins and Anthony Santander looking like starters. It's believed the team will carry two extra outfielders, though it's also possible Jorge Mateo will see time in the outfield as a utility player. Kjerstad will need to get his bat going to separate from the field, namely Colton Cowser and Kyle Stowers.

Receives spot on ALDS roster
Kjerstad is on the Orioles' roster for their ALDS matchup against the Rangers, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Impact
Kjerstad slashed .233/.281/.467 with two homers and three RBI after being promoted from Triple-A Norfolk in mid-September -- enough to secure himself a spot on the playoff roster. The 24-year-old rookie will likely serve as bench depth as Baltimore may choose to send out their experienced veterans more often for the postseason.

Takes seat Saturday
Kjerstad isn't in the Orioles' lineup Saturday versus the Guardians, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact
Kjerstad will get a breather Saturday after starting his major-league career 5-for-21 with two homers across his first eight games. Adley Rutschman will operate as Baltimore's designated hitter instead while James McCann starts behind the plate.

Taking seat Thursday
Kjerstad is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest in Cleveland.
Impact
Kjerstad had started each of the previous three games at designated hitter, but he will begin this one on the bench. Anthony Santader will be at DH on Thursday while Aaron Hicks gets a start in right field.

Clubs second homer
Kjerstad went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-5 win over the Astros.
Impact
Kjerstad padded the Orioles' lead in the seventh inning with his second homer in five games since he was called up. He's gone 4-for-13 with five strikeouts. The 24-year-old has made all three of his starts at designated hitter, though he can also be an option at first base and in the corner outfield in a pinch. For now, it appears the Orioles are focused on letting him hit in a part-time role versus right-handed pitchers.

Impact
