Who will the Orioles promote as part of September’s roster expansion?

It’s premature, sure, but with the Orioles in the midst of a rough August stretch we need something to get excited about. In just a few weeks, major league rosters will expand from 25 players up to 40 for the final ever, possibly ever. MLB is instituting a new rule starting next season that limits roster sizes in the season’s final month to just 28 players. That, paired with with the increase of daily rosters to 26 means that, at any one time, the Orioles will only be able to add two new faces for the stretch run.
