Placed on 7-day concussion list Noda was placed on Triple-A Norfolk's 7-day concussion injured list Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASN reports.

Impact There's a chance that Noda clears the league's concussion protocol and back on the field during Norfolk's final series of the regular season against Charlotte. He has spent the entire 2026 season in Triple-A, where he is slashing .229/.370/.398 with five steals, 11 home runs and 27 RBI over 346 plate appearances.

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.

Outrighted to Triple-A The Orioles outrighted Noda to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Noda passed through waivers unclaimed after being booted off the 40-man roster, and he will remain in the organization. After flashing some promise in his rookie season with the Athletics in 2023, the 29-year-old Noda has hit only .127/.262/.197 in 59 games at the big-league level the last two years.

During his assignment, the 29-year-old went 2-for-19 with a home run, two RBI, four runs scored and eight strikeouts.

Impact Noda has been sidelined since July 7 with a right quad strain, though he's been playing rehab games in Charlotte for the past week. During his assignment, the 29-year-old went 2-for-19 with a homer, two RBI, four runs scored and eight strikeouts.

Lands on IL with quad strain The White Sox placed Noda on the 10-day injured list Monday with a right quad strain.

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.

JUNE 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Handling steady role Noda will start at designated hitter and will bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact After joining the White Sox last weekend shortly after being claimed off waivers from the Red Sox, Noda has handled a regular role for Chicago. He's started seven of the last eight games, but he's gone just 2-for-17 with a solo home run. 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.

Impact Noda was DFA'd by Boston on June 9 and was subsequently claimed by the White Sox off waivers.

In a corresponding roster move, fellow infielder Tim Elko as optioned to the minors. Noda is starting at first base and batting seventh in his White Sox debut Saturday.

Claimed by South Siders The White Sox claimed Noda off waivers and optioned him to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

Noda has spent the entire 2025 season in Triple-A, and across 51 games between Salt Lake and Worcester he is slashing .204/.404/.375 with four steals, seven home runs and 21 RBI across 208 plate appearances.

JUNE 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Booted off 40-man roster The Red Sox designated Noda for assignment Monday.

Noda was acquired from the Angels via trade in late May and has slashed .378/.519/.703 with three homers and a 12:12 K:BB in 13 games with Triple-A Worcester. There could be some interest in Noda on waivers.

Impact The Angels designated Noda for assignment Sunday after he started the season at Triple-A Salt Lake with a .634 OPS through 154 plate appearances.

MAY 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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. Despite his display of plate discipline and ability to play first base and corner outfielder, he'll have to work his way back into the majors by maintaining success at the Triple-A level.

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. Noda will turn 29 in March and will get a chance to compete for playing time at first base, the corner outfield spots and designated hitter.

NOVEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
