Henry Urrutia: Released by Orioles
Rotowire
Urrutia was released by the Orioles on Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
The 30-year-old was slashing just .175/.243/.254 through 63 at-bats with Triple-A Norfolk before the Orioles decided to cut him loose. He hasn't seen the majors since a brief stint in 2015, so he'll likely serve as organizational depth if he's able to catch on elsewhere.

Orioles' Henry Urrutia: Clears waivers, heads to Double-A
Rotowire
Urrutia cleared waivers and was assigned to Double-A, MASN Sports reports.
Urrutia was designated for assignment in late-July to clear a spot on the 40-man roster. He is not headed to Baltimore anytime soon, as the 29-year-old has been demoted from Triple-A to Double-A with a very average performance this season. In 80 minor league games, he is slashing .280/.339/.372 with just three home runs. The Orioles have several other outfield prospects above Urrutia on the organizational depth chart.

Orioles' Henry Urrutia: Optioned to Triple-A on Monday
Rotowire
Urrutia was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.
Urrutia performed well enough in a small stint in the majors last season to garner some attention on most clubs, but with the Orioles as crowded in the outfield as they are, he'll be forced to head back to Norfolk to develop more. He could head up to the big club at some point during the season if they want him up as a fifth outfielder, though.
