Infielder Coby Mayo, one of the top prospects in baseball, will make his major league debut Friday night for the Baltimore Orioles.
The Orioles called him up from Triple-A Norfolk and penciled him into the lineup against the Cleveland Guardians. He will play third base and bat eighth.
In a corresponding move, the Orioles optioned infielder Livan Soto to Norfolk.
Mayo, 22, has an OPS of .929 across parts of four minor league seasons since being taken by the Orioles with a 2020 fourth-round pick out of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla.
