Adley Rutschman, who is now considered the top prospect in minor league baseball, is getting promoted from Double-A Bowie to Triple-A Norfolk.
Rutschman’s promotion was first reported by MASNsports.com and confirmed by industry sources.

Rutschman is batting .271 with 18 home runs and 55 RBIs in 80 games with Bowie.
The Baysox were no-hit by Somerset, 7-0, on Sunday. Rutschman struck out twice in three at-bats.
Rutschman’s first scheduled game with Norfolk is on Tuesday at Harbor Park against Memphis.

Bout time!
Let the serious part of the rebuild begin!
Good. Assume he'll ride it out there. Now he gets to see first hand some of these rag-a-muffin pitchers rotating between Norfolk and Baltimore. Hope he can help stabilize that situation. Question Rich--if he were to be called up to Baltimore would that result in him having to be put on the 40 man roster thus being subject to a player stoppage next spring(idlizing him)?
Al, yes it would.
Think you mean idling him
Hopefully he has someone to hit behind him...5 days right?...lol...go O’s...
Norfolk's line up this year hits about as well as the '72 Orioles!
This remind me of last year when Elias brought up Mountcastle out of the blue. I'm shocked. Not sure what to think.
Misdirection...lol...go Adley & O’s...
Hopefully Rodriguez won’t be too far behind. Oriel makes an interesting point about Rutschman working with the under performing pitchers at Norfolk. Maybe he will have a positive impact on them.
Valiaka accepts outright?! Of course, nobody wants the Orioles garbage, see Eschelman, Wilkerson, Leyba, etc, etc!
Calling another human ‘garbage’?? Didn’t your mama teach you any manners?!
C'mon Buzz ... no need to sound so bush league.
Agree, EVERYONE knows you don’t like him or Wilkerson, seriously though, garbage, you & your language is very unbecoming...go O’s...
About freaking time
