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

Rotowire
The Mariners designated Vavra for assignment Saturday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
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.

Orioles' Terrin Vavra: Pushed off 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Orioles designated Vavra for assignment Wednesday.
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.

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 base.
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.

Orioles' Terrin Vavra: Goes on 60-day IL
Rotowire
The Orioles recalled Vavra from Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday and placed him on the 60-day injured list with a strained right shoulder.
Vavra has resided on Norfolk's IL since mid-June due to the shoulder injury, but he was cleared to begin a rehab assignment at Single-A Delmarva on Aug. 31. However, he appeared in just two games for the affiliate before being pulled off the rehab assignment after experiencing a setback with the shoulder. The Orioles haven't revealed whether or not Vavra's injury is season-ending, but he's not expected to see any action with the big club again in 2023 even if his setback proves to be a minor one. The Orioles moved him to the 60-day IL in the big leagues for the purpose of opening up a spot on the 40-man roster for first baseman/outfielder Heston Kjerstad, whose contract was selected from Triple-A.

Orioles' Terrin Vavra: Notches first steal
Rotowire
Vavra went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Angels.
Vavra is getting a bit of run in the corner outfield, and he's gone 2-for-8 with one RBI, a walk and two runs scored over his last three games. The utility man is slashing a modest .242/.342/.242, as all eight of his hits this season have been singles.

Rotowire
Vavra will start in right field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Angels.

He'll be making his third consecutive start Wednesday, all of which have come in the corner outfield. The lefty-hitting Vavra could still find himself out of the lineup versus southpaws.
