Orioles Recall Outfielder Kjerstad, Option Catcher Bañuelos to Minors

The Baltimore Orioles have recalled outfielder Kyle Kjerstad from Triple-A Norfolk and optioned catcher David Bañuelos back to the minors. This move comes after the Orioles placed outfielder Cedric Mullins on the injured list with a strained calf. Kjerstad, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 draft, has impressed in Triple-A this season, batting .349 with 10 home runs and 30 RBIs in 21 games. The Orioles hope that Kjerstad can provide a spark to their offense, which ranks near the bottom of the league in several offensive categories.
