Solid in debut Westburg went 1-for-4 with a walk, one RBI and one run scored in Monday's 10-3 win over the Reds.

Impact Westburg also got aboard on a fielder's choice, which accounted for his RBI. The 24-year-old prospect showed a solid eye at the plate with Triple-A Norfolk this year with a 21.3 percent strikeout rate and 9.8 percent walk rate. Getting on base consistently will help him compete for at-bats in a crowded infield, where he's most likely to challenge Adam Frazier and Jorge Mateo for playing time. Westburg can also play corner outfield, but the Orioles are already juggling three players for those two spots.

Promotion official The Orioles selected Westburg's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

Impact Confirming what had been reported Sunday, Westburg will join the Orioles ahead of Monday's series opener versus the Reds for what will be his MLB debut. The 24-year-old's promotion comes after he posted a .939 OPS with seven stolen bases in 301 plate appearances in the International League while making starts at second base, third base, shortstop, left field and right field. The Orioles may not commit to Westburg being a full-time player at any one position, but he should be in store for a near-everyday role in any case while moving about multiple different spots in the infield or outfield.

Over 67 games, he slashed .295/.372/.567 with 18 homers, 57 runs, 54 RBI and seven stolen bases, and he'll be rewarded with his first big-league call-up.
