Outrighted to Norfolk Vavra cleared waivers Tuesday and was sent outright to Triple-A Norfolk, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact After going 0-for-1 during his two-day stint in the majors and being designated for assignment, Vavra will officially remain in the Orioles organization. The 28-year-old has slashed .247/.354/.341 across 203 plate appearances in Triple-A and is likely to remain in the minor leagues for the rest of the season.

DFA'd by Baltimore The Orioles designated Vavra for assignment Sunday, Danielle Allentuck of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Impact The 28-year-old was added to the big-league roster Friday and went 0-for-1 during Saturday's contest, which was his first appearance in the majors since 2023. Vavra could head back to Triple-A Norfolk if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

AUGUST 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back in majors The Orioles selected Vavra's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday.

Impact The 28-year-old remained in the organization after being designated for assignment in late May, and he'll receive another look in the majors after Baltimore traded away Ryan O'Hearn, Ramon Laureano and Cedric Mullins. Vavra has played in 27 big-league games this season and has a .560 OPS in 56 plate appearances, and his performance at Norfolk has also been underwhelming with a .695 OPS.

Joins taxi squad Vavra has been added to the Orioles' taxi squad, Danielle Allentuck of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Impact The Orioles expect Jordan Westburg (finger) to avoid the 10-day injured list, but if he doesn't recover as quickly as hoped and ultimately goes on the IL, Vavra will take his roster spot. The utility player is a career .254/.331/.304 hitter over parts of two big-league seasons.

Sticks in organization Vavra cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 28-year-old was designated for assignment by Baltimore over the weekend after being promoted for one game, and he will remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed.

Booted off 40-man roster The Orioles designated Vavra for assignment Sunday, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Vavra's stay with the Orioles lasted just one day, with the utility player going unused in both ends of Saturday's doubleheader with the Red Sox. Baltimore signed utility player Cooper Hummel on Sunday and will have him replace Vavra on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster.

MAY 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Selected from Triple-A The Orioles selected Vavra's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.

Impact With Ramon Laureano (ankle) headed for the injured list, the Orioles will bring up Vavra to help replenish their bench depth. The 28-year-old utility man has had a fair amount of success in the minors this season, slashing .317/.388/.450 with seven RBI and 11 runs scored through 70 plate appearances.

MAY 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to minor-league camp The Orioles reassigned Vavra to minor-league camp Monday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Impact Vavra appeared in 67 games at the big-league level with Baltimore between the 2022 and 2023 seasons, but the 27-year-old infielder looks far away from re-emerging as a contributor in the majors. He struggled to stay healthy in 2024 and was unproductive at the dish during his time in the minors, slashing .236/.333/.345 over 266 plate appearances with four affiliates between the Mariners and Orioles organizations. Vavra is likely to open the 2025 campaign at Triple-A Norfolk.

MARCH 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back with Baltimore as NRI The Orioles re-signed Vavra to a minor-league contract Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Impact Vavra finished last season in the Orioles organization after beginning the year in the minors with the Mariners. The 27-year-old has hit .254/.331/.304 in 159 plate appearances over parts of two seasons at the big-league level. He'll give Baltimore some utility depth at Triple-A Norfolk.

FEBRUARY 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Reunites with O's Vavra signed a minor-league contract with the Orioles on Saturday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Impact Vavra elected to become a free agent after being DFA'd by the Mariners on Aug. 31, and he'll now return to the organization that he's spent his entire major-league career with. The 27-year-old has slashed .239/.342/.358 across 191 plate appearances at Triple-A and will likely remain in the minors for the rest of the year.

SEPTEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Elects free agency Vavra cleared waivers Wednesday and elected to become a free agent.

Impact Vavra was DFA'd by the Mariners on Saturday -- just eight days after the team claimed him off waivers from Baltimore. He'll now have the freedom to choose his next team, though he likely won't be able to secure more than a minor-league deal after posting a .698 OPS through 191 Triple-A plate appearances.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

DFA'd by Seattle The Mariners designated Vavra for assignment Saturday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Just eight days after claiming Vavra off waivers from Baltimore, the Mariners will now strip him of his spot on the 40-man roster and give it to Luis Urias, who was selected to the active roster Saturday. Vavra has slashed .239/.342/.356 across 191 plate appearances in Triple-A this season, and his defensive versatility could make him an attractive piece for other clubs browsing the waiver wire.

AUGUST 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Claimed by Seattle The Mariners claimed Vavra off waivers from the Orioles on Friday and optioned him to Triple-A Tacoma.

Impact The 27-year-old has a career .254/.331/.304 slash line over parts of two seasons in the majors. Vavra is capable of playing all over the field, giving the Mariners some utility depth.

Claimed by Seattle The Mariners claimed Vavra off waivers from the Orioles on Friday and optioned him to Triple-A Tacoma.

Impact Vavra, 27, is a career .254/.331/.304 hitter over parts of two seasons in the majors. He is capable of playing virtually all over the field, giving the Mariners some utility depth.

AUGUST 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Pushed off 40-man roster The Orioles designated Vavra for assignment Wednesday.

Impact Vavra was added back to the Orioles' 40-man roster in late July, but he was optioned back to Triple-A Norfolk a day later once Baltimore's trade-deadline acquisitions joined up with the club. The 27-year-old will now move back off the 40-man roster as the Orioles clear room for infielder Emmanuel Rivera, who was claimed off waivers from the Marlins. Vavra will now be subject to the waiver process, but if he clears, he would have the ability to elect free agency since he was previously outrighted off the 40-man roster last November. He's produced a .243/.350/.368 slash line with three home runs and two stolen bases over 178 plate appearances at Norfolk this season.

AUGUST 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Takes Norby's spot in majors The Orioles will call up Vavra from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact He'll join the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster as a replacement for infielder Connor Norby, who was sent to Miami along with outfielder Kyle Stowers in Tuesday's deal that shipped lefty Trevor Rogers to Baltimore. Unlike Norby, Vavra's upside is likely capped as a part-time player, at least as long as he's with the Orioles. The 27-year-old utility man slashed .269/.377/.423 with two home runs and two steals in 31 games at Triple-A. Vavra has made 14 starts at second base, five starts at third base, four starts at shortstop and two starts in left field for Norfolk.

JULY 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back from IL Vavra (groin) has gone 3-for-8 over two contests for Triple-A Norfolk since he was activated from the injured list.

Impact Vavra suffered the groin strain in early June and missed just under a month of time. He's been limited to 19 games at Triple-A due to the groin injury and a shoulder issue that sidelined him at the start of the season. He's slashing .284/.377/.433 over 77 plate appearances, but he'll have a tough time getting to the majors given the Orioles' already crowded infield on the 26-man roster and at Triple-A.

JULY 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns from IL Triple-A Norfolk reinstated Vavra (shoulder) from its 7-day injured list Sunday.

Impact Vavra, who had been on the shelf all season with a right shoulder strain, has been cleared to make his 2024 debut for Norfolk after completed a four-game rehab assignment with two of the Orioles' lower-level affiliates. Between stops in the rookie-level Florida Complex League and at High-A Aberdeen, Vavra went 4-for-16 with a double, three RBI and two runs.

MAY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Rehabbing in Florida Vavra (shoulder) began a rehab assignment Saturday with the Orioles' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate, going 0-for-3 with an RBI while playing seven innings at first b...

Impact Vavra has been on Triple-A Norfolk's 7-day injured list all season but should be on the cusp of making his 2024 debut for the Orioles' top affiliate. The 26-year-old is working his way back from a strained right shoulder, which sidelined him for most of the second half of the 2023 season.

MAY 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Goes on 60-day IL Vavra was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk and placed on the 60-day injured list Thursday with a strained right shoulder.

Impact The move was made in order to free up a spot on the 40-man roster for Heston Kjerstad. Vavra is done for the season with a shoulder injury, but the good news for him is he'll now get to collect a major-league paycheck while on the IL.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pulled off minor league rehab Vavra has been pulled off a minor-league rehab assignment in order to undergo further testing and evaluation of his right shoulder injury, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Vavra made it through just two rehab games before the assignment was halted due to continued discomfort. He's been on the injured list at Triple-A Norfolk since mid-June with what has been referred to as a right shoulder strain, but the Orioles want to see if something more serious might be going on with the shoulder.
