The Baltimore Orioles are bringing back a familiar face to the organization with just two weeks to go until Opening Day.

The Orioles just acquired outfielder Peyton Burdick off of waivers from the Chicago White Sox according to the team.

Burdick was originally drafted by the Miami Marlins in the third round of the 2019 MLB draft before making his MLB debut with the team during the 2022 MLB season.

Just last month the Orioles purchased the outfielder from the Marlins before getting DFA'd following Baltimore's acquisition of relief pitcher Kaleb Ort from the Philadelphia Phillies for cash considerations.

The White Sox then signed him but he did not last long in MLB Spring Training camp with Chicago as they also DFA'd him following the Dylan Cease trade.

In 46 games at the MLB level split across the 2022-23 seasons, Burdick slashed .200/.281/.333 with five home runs.

He will be competing for a bench spot with Baltimore despite the incredible depth the team has at the position across their system.

Burdick features some Major League experience and still has development left to go. It could be a very low-risk, high-reward move for the Orioles, a space the front office has proven to thrive in.
