The Orioles are expected to purchase the contract of outfielder Nolan Reimold from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, and he likely will be in uniform against the Boston Red Sox, according to industry sources.
Reimold, 31, was hitting .286 with a .351 on-base percentage in 46 games with the Tides this year. He’s been particularly torrid recently, going 19-for-45 (.422) in his last 14 games.
A former Orioles’ second round pick out of Bowling Green in 2005, Reimold made an instant impact with the club as a rookie in 2009, but injuries curtailed his career. He has not played in the big leagues since last September with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
