Beavers is not in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Red Sox.
Beavers started in each of the first eight games for the Orioles upon getting called up from Triple-A Norfolk on Aug. 16, but he will begin Monday's series opener on the bench. The Orioles faced all righties during those eight games and are going up against a left-handed opener in Brennan Bernardino on Monday, but the left-handed-hitting Beavers won't necessarily be deployed exclusively as a strong-side platoon player over the final five weeks of the season. Beavers will give up his spot in left field to Dylan Carlson on Monday.

Orioles' Dylan Beavers: Hits first big-league homer
Rotowire
Beavers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two total RBI in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Astros.
Beavers took Jason Alexander deep in the second inning and added a second RBI with a fielder's choice in the sixth. The homer was the first of Beavers' big-league career. He's off to a great start in the majors, batting .294 (5-for-17) with a 5:5 BB:K over his first five games. He'll likely continue to hold down a starting role in the corner outfield for the remainder of the campaign as long as his hitting stays strong.

Orioles' Dylan Beavers: Perfect at plate Monday
Rotowire
Beavers went 2-for-2 with an RBI and two walks in Monday's 6-3 win over the Red Sox.
Beavers reached safely in all of his trips to the plate Monday, highlighted by a scorching RBI single in the fourth inning. The budding prospect has opened his big-league career with a hit in each of his first three games, going 4-for-11 with a double and an RBI.
The Orioles selected Beavers' contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.
A top prospect in the Orioles' farm system, Beavers will make his MLB debut when he gets into a game. The 23-year-old has put together an outstanding .304/.420/.515 slash line at Norfolk to go along with 18 homers and 23 stolen bases. The outfielder should have a chance at regular playing time while Tyler O'Neill (wrist) is on the shelf. Greg Allen was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.
GM Mike Elias said Friday that Beavers is close to making his MLB debut and that it would be "beneficial" for him to get a taste of the majors this year, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
The Orioles have some at-bats to fill following the departures of Ramon Laureano, Ryan O'Hearn and Cedric Mullins at the trade deadline, though Beavers could be more of an end-of-season promotion. The 23-year-old outfielder has 14 homers and 22 stolen bases with a .916 OPS in his first full season at the Triple-A level this year.
Beavers (shoulder) has gone 1-for-7 with two walks, one run and one stolen base in three games since being reinstated from Triple-A Norfolk's 7-day injured list Saturday.
Beavers was sidelined for just under two weeks with a right shoulder sprain. One of the top outfield prospects in the Baltimore system, Beavers owns a .296/.393/.408 slash line with three home runs and 16 stolen bases over 184 plate appearances at Norfolk this season.

Rotowire
Beavers was placed on Triple-A Norfolk's 7-day injured list Friday due to a right shoulder AC sprain, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Beavers was scratched from Thursday's lineup after running into the outfield wall during batting practice, and the injury is severe enough for him to need a stint on the 7-day IL, per Jake Rill of MLB.com. Beavers is slashing .303/.397/.421 with 15 steals, three home runs and 18 RBI across 175 plate appearances in Triple-A this season.

Orioles' Dylan Beavers: Promoted to Triple-A
Rotowire
Beavers was promoted to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Beavers will make the leap to Triple-A after batting .241 with 15 home runs, 50 RBI, 67 runs scored and 31 stolen bases over 119 games with Double-A Bowie this season. The outfielder will look to impress with Norfolk in order to potentially get a shot with the major-league roster in 2025.

Orioles' Dylan Beavers: Productive for Bowie
Rotowire
Beavers is slashing .294/.403/.451 with three home runs and seven steals in 29 games for Double-A Bowie.
Beavers has a 147 wRC+ after logging a 150 wRC+ in 34 games for the Baysox to close the 2023 season. A patient hitter with good pull-side power and above-average speed, Beavers now has a career .309/.411/.466 slash line at the Double-A level, but he has just five home runs in 63 games. Bowie isn't a great place to put up big offensive numbers, but Beavers' lefty stick should eventually fit nicely in Baltimore, and his 16 doubles in 63 Double-A games hint at some untapped power potential.

Orioles' Dylan Beavers: Climbs to Double-A
Rotowire
The Orioles promoted Beavers from High-A Aberdeen to Double-A Bowie on Wednesday.
Beavers, the 33rd overall pick in the 2022 First-Year Player Draft, earned the move to the Eastern League after posting an .832 OPS while walking in 13.9 percent of his plate appearances and stealing 22 bases in 28 attempts. The 21-year-old hit only nine home runs in his 85 games at Aberdeen, but at 6-foot-4, he possesses the sort of frame to add power as he matures.

Orioles' Dylan Beavers: Dialed in for IronBirds
Rotowire
Beavers is slashing .309/.407/.596 with five home runs and three steals in his last 25 games for High-A Aberdeen.
He has a 19.5 percent strikeout rate and 15 percent walk rate over this red-hot stretch and could be in line for a promotion to Double-A in the coming days/weeks. Beavers, who hits left-handed, has seen the majority of his starts in right field while also getting some work in center field in his first full season.
