We’ve seen a number of Orioles get thrust into bigger opportunities as a result of injuries this season. Cole Irvin has stuck in the O’s rotation, but he’s only gotten the chance to stay amongst the starters thanks to injuries to John Means. Colton Cowser is now a bonafide every day starter in the outfield in part due to an early injury to Austin Hays. Now, the latest opportunity born from injury falls to Connor Norby.
Last night, Norby open his big league career by going 0-3 with 2 Ks in Toronto. Despite struggling vs. the Blue Jays, it’s clear that Norby has the ability to succeed at the major league level.
