The Orioles announced that right-hander Brooks Kriske was claimed off waivers by the Reds, and was assigned to Triple-A Norfolk. As reported by Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com (X link) earlier today, the lefty. Nick Vespi designed for an assignment to create openings on Baltimore's 40-man roster.
Cincinnati designated Kriske for assignment earlier this week, and the righty is now returning to one of his former teams. Kriske posted a 12.27 ERA over four games and 3 2/3 innings with the Orioles in 2021, before the O's released him following the season so Kriske could sign with Nippon Professional Baseball's Yokohama BayStars. After his season in Japan, Kriske returned to North America on a minor league deal with the Royals and posted a 4.05 ERA in 6 2/3 innings in 2023, before returning to NPB for a stint with the Seibu Lions.
