Ryan Noda - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Misses out on Opening Day roster The Orioles reassigned Noda to Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact The Orioles are well stocked on first-base and corner-outfield bats at the big-league level, so Noda never stood much of a chance at winning an Opening Day roster spot. The 29-year-old should get the opportunity to play regularly at Triple-A Norfolk this season, but his standing as a non-40-man-roster player may be a hindrance in him receiving a call-up to the majors at any point.

JULY 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

On bench for series finale Noda is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Since getting claimed off waivers from the Red Sox on June 13 and joining the White Sox, the left-handed-hitting Noda has been a fixture in the lineup against right-handed pitching at first base or designated hitter. However, Noda has gone just 2-for-21 with six walks and 13 strikeouts to begin his time with the White Sox, and it wouldn't be surprising if his time as a lineup regular was nearing its end. He'll take a seat against Arizona righty Zac Gallen to open up a spot in the starting nine for Michael Taylor.

JUNE 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting against southpaw Noda is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Though he'll hit the bench while the Diamondbacks send southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez to the hill, the left-handed-hitting Noda has been a regular in the White Sox lineup against right-handed pitching since he was claimed off waivers from the Red Sox on June 13. Noda started in seven of the previous eight games but went 2-for-19 with five walks and 12 strikeouts. Edgar Quero will replace him at designated hitter Monday.

Expect Noda's playing time to eventually trend downward if he's unable to get anything going at the dish.

Summoned to Chicago The White Sox recalled Noda from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.

There could be some interest in Noda on waivers.

Dispatched to Salt Lake The Angels optioned Noda to Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.

Impact Noda batted .182 this spring, but 15 walks in 49 plate appearances helped him finish the Cactus League with an .813 OPS.

MARCH 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to Halos via waivers The Angels claimed Noda off waivers from the Athletics on Friday.

Impact Noda showed some promise in 2023 after the A's plucked him in the Rule 5 Draft, slashing .229/.364/.406 with 16 homers in 128 contests. He faceplanted in 2024, however, posting just a .465 OPS in 36 games with Oakland while spending most of the year in the minors.
