The Miami Marlins acquired second baseman/outfielder Connor Norby along with outfielder Kyle Stowers in a trade with the Baltimore Orioles for pitcher Trevor Rogers on Tuesday. Norby was the Orioles' fifth-ranked prospect according to MLB Pipeline and was hitting .297/.389/519 with 16 homers, 57 RBI, 71 runs scored, and 13 stolen bases with Triple-A Norfolk and hit .188/.188/.406 with two homers, three RBI, and three runs scored in nine games with the Orioles. He is a valuable asset in dynasty formats while NL-only fantasy managers will give Norby a long look as he bids for playing time in Miami.
Baltimore Orioles rookie outfielder Heston Kjerstad and second baseman Connor Norby will both start on the bench on Monday for Game 1 of a doubleheader against the visiting division-rival Toronto Blue Jays. Fellow rookie Colton Cowser is starting in left field and is batting leadoff, while Jordan Westburg will play second base and hit sixth against Blue Jays rookie right-hander Yariel Rodriguez. In Baltimore's crowded outfield, Kjerstad has been a part-time player and is hitting .277 (18-for-65) with three homers and 12 RBI in just 27 games played. Norby should return to duties at the keystone in Game 2 and is the O's primary second baseman with Jorge Mateo (elbow) set to miss significant time. The 24-year-old prospect has intriguing long-term upside but has gone only 5-for-28 (.179) with two homers, three RBI and 10 K's in his first eight MLB games in 2024.
The Baltimore Orioles are set to give infielder Connor Norby another big-league opportunity with Jorge Mateo to miss some time with an elbow injury. Baltimore manager Brandon Hyde confirmed on Wednesday night that Norby will "get some regular playing time". The 24-year-old second baseman got 14 at-bats earlier this season with the Orioles but has spent most of the season at Triple-A Norfolk. With Norfolk, Norby has hit .297 with 16 homers and 57 RBI. The No. 5 prospect in the loaded Orioles' system, Norby is worth a look in fantasy leagues as he fills in for Mateo as the regular second baseman.
Baltimore Orioles infield prospect Connor Norby is headed to Miami as a precaution after infielder Jorge Mateo suffered an elbow injury on Tuesday during a collision with teammate Gunnar Henderson, according to a source. Norby, the team's No. 5 prospect per MLB Pipeline, made his big-league debut earlier this year but only appeared in four games and went 3-for-14 (.214) with a homer, two RBI and three strikeouts. The 24-year-old will make his return to the big leagues if Baltimore has to put Mateo on the 10-day injured list. The former second-round pick in 2021 out of East Carolina has hit .297/.389/.519 with a .908 OPS, 16 homers, 57 RBI and 13 stolen bases in 80 games for Triple-A Norfolk and could get more run at the keystone in Baltimore if Mateo goes on the shelf. Norby's power/speed combination makes him intriguing in all fantasy formats.
Baltimore Orioles second base prospect Connor Norby went 1-for-3 with a home run and a walk on Thursday. This extended his current hitting streak to four games. Since July 1, the former second-round pick has posted a dominant .350/.386/.750 line with five home runs and 12 RBI. Norby got a brief four-game taste of the major leagues this season and tallied three hits and one home run across four games. Through 74 games at Triple-A Norfolk this season, Norby has posted a .294/.380/.532 line, which proves he is more than ready for a full-time major league role, but the Baltimore infield is quite crowded, which limits Norby's playing time. However, if a player in the majors were to get into a prolonged slump or get injured, Norby's name could be the first one called upon to fill in.
