The Orioles today announced that they have acquired left-handed pitcher TREVOR ROGERS from the Miami Marlins in exchange for infielder/outfielder CONNOR NORBY and outfielder KYLE STOWERS.

Rogers, 26, is 2-9 with a 4.53 ERA (53 ER/105.1 IP) with 115 hits (12 HR), 58 total runs allowed, 46 walks (2 IBB), three hit batters, and 85 strikeouts in 21 starts with the Marlins this season. In nine starts since June 9, he’s posted a 3.17 ERA (17 ER/48.1 IP) while surrendering two runs or fewer in eight of those games. He was a 2021 National League All-Star after pitching to a 2.31 ERA (26 ER/101.1 IP) in 18 starts before the break and finished second in the NL Rookie of the Year voting behind Cincinnati’s Jonathan India. He was selected by Miami in the first round (13th overall) of the 2017 First-Year Player Draft out of Carlsbad (NM) High School.

Norby, 24, is slashing .188/.188/.406 (6-for-32) with one double, two home runs, three runs scored, and three RBI in nine games with the Orioles this season. He made his MLB debut on June 3 at Toronto and hit his first career home run off Blue Jays righty Nate Pearson the next day. Norby is ranked the No. 5 O’s prospect and No. 9 overall second base prospect by MLB Pipeline. He was selected by Baltimore in the second round (41st overall) of the 2021 First-Year Player Draft out of East Carolina University (NC).

Stowers, 26, batted .306/.297/.500 (11-for-36) with four doubles, one home run, three runs scored, and nine RBI in 19 games with Baltimore this year. He made his MLB debut on June 13, 2022, and hit his first big league homer on August 25, 2022, off Liam Hendriks, a game-tying solo blast with two outs in the ninth inning. Stowers was the Brooks Robinson Minor League Co-Player of the Year (with Adley Rutschman) in 2021. He was selected by Baltimore in the Competitive Balance Round B (71st overall) of the 2019 First-Year Player Draft out of Stanford University (CA).

To fill the active roster, the Orioles have selected the contract of infielder/outfielder TERRIN VAVRA from Triple-A Norfolk. He will wear No. 23. The Orioles’ 40-man roster currently has 40 players.
