The Baltimore Orioles entered play on Monday one game out of a wild card spot and claimed Luis Robert Jr. off waivers, per MLB.com.
Robert is about a $5 million gamble for the Orioles as they look to sneak into the postseason. He is due around $3 million for the remainder of this season and has a $20 million club option with a $2 million buyout for next season. He has not had the best year, and missed a chunk of time with injury, but he has been good this month.
In August, he is slashing .267/.321/.520 with six home runs. He has a .841 OPS in his last 24 games and could be a real **** et for the Orioles down the stretch. The Orioles rank ninth in home runs and runs scored this season. They are not a bad offense, and Robert should provide them with a little extra for the final month.
None of the Orioles' primary outfielders have had a great year offensively, and Robert has a chance to be a difference-maker if he stays hot. He has one All-Star nod and a Silver Slugger to his name, but has not been that player consistently.
