Orioles add Heston Kjerstad and Luis De León to roster

The Baltimore Orioles expanded their roster to 28 players on Tuesday, adding outfielder Heston Kjerstad and pitching prospect Luis De León. The moves coincide with September roster regulations that permit each team one extra position player and one extra pitcher. Kjerstad returns to the major league roster following a stint in Triple-A Norfolk, while De León joins the team as a hard-throwing left-handed relief option. The organization also expects to recall Albert Suárez and add outfielder Luis Robert Jr., the latter of whom was claimed on waivers from the New York Mets. These roster adjustments follow the decision to option Cade Povich to Triple-A Norfolk after his recent appearance. The team continues to navigate a wild card race as they evaluate depth options for the final stretch of the season.
