The Orioles are staying busy making roster moves that so far are geared toward improving depth and camp competitions.
A source confirmed earlier today that Cuban outfielder Pedro León has been claimed on waivers from the Astros.
León, 27, appeared in seven games with the Astros in 2024 and was 2-for-20 with 10 strikeouts. He played in 22 games with Triple-A Sugar Land this year and hit .241/.312/.422 with six doubles, three home runs and 10 RBIs. He began the season on the injured list after straining the MCL in his left knee in spring training, with an eventual transfer to the 60-day IL.
The Astros put León on waivers two days ago.
León made the Pacific Coast League Triple-A All-Star team in 2024 after batting .299/.372/.514 with 25 doubles, 24 home runs, 90 RBIs and 29 stolen bases in 118 games.
