Orioles claim outfielder John Andreoli off waivers from Mariners, option him to Triple-A Norfolk

The Orioles added a piece of depth off waivers Saturday by claiming outfielder John Andreoli from the Seattle Mariners, the team announced.

Andreoli made his major league debut on May 23, and appeared in three games for the Mariners after signing with them as a minor league free agent in January.

He was designated for assignment on Friday, and since he’s been claimed, the Orioles assigned him to Triple-A Norfolk.

The Chicago Cubs drafted Andreoli out of UConn in the 17th round of the 2011 draft, and he’s spent most of the last four seasons at Triple-A.
