The Baltimore Orioles traded outfielder Johnathan Rodríguez to the Pittsburgh Pirates for cash considerations on July 27, completing a move that began when Baltimore designated him for assignment on July 23. The Pirates announced they optioned Rodríguez to Triple-A Indianapolis following the transaction. The 26-year-old Puerto Rican native was born November 4, 1999.
To address roster needs around the same time, the Orioles recalled catcher Yohel Pozo from Triple-A Chesapeake and signed right-handed pitcher Camden Wicker to a minor league contract, signaling a continued churn at the margins of Baltimore's big league roster as the team manages its depth heading into the stretch run.
