HOUSTON — Touted prospect Dylan Beavers<\/a> is set to make his major league debut after the Baltimore Orioles<\/a> selected the outfielder’s contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.<\/p>\n Beavers, rated as Baltimore’s No. 2 prospect by ESPN<\/a>, was the 33rd overall pick by the Orioles in the 2022 amateur draft. The left-handed slugger spent this season at Norfolk, where he has hit .304 with 18 homers, 51 RBIs and 23 stolen bases in 94 games.<\/p>\n The 24-year-old is expected to boost an outfield that sent center fielder Cedric Mullins<\/a> to the New York Mets<\/a> at the trade deadline.
