Dylan Beavers is in a radically different situation than the Orioles outfield prospects who came before him. That means more playing time.

The time has come at last. Dylan Beavers, the Orioles’ top outfield prospect, has been promoted to the majors. The O’s announced this morning that they’ve purchased his contract from Triple-A Norfolk and he’ll join the team in Houston, where he’ll presumably be in the lineup tonight for his major league debut.

The Baltimore Orioles welcomed Dylan Beavers to the major leagues, and Tony Mansolino confirmed that he will play a role.
