Norfolk Tides News Release

In conjunction with the Baltimore Orioles, the Norfolk Tides today announced that Jordan Westburg and Ramón Urías are joining the Tides on a Major League Rehab Assignment on Thursday, September 19. Westburg has not played for the Orioles since July 31, while Urías has been out since August 31.

On top of the rehab assignments, Orioles prospect Dylan Beavers was promoted from Double-A Bowie to Norfolk today and made his Triple-A debut tonight. He recorded his first Triple-A hit in the sixth inning of game one of tonight’s doubleheader. According to MLB Pipeline’s Top 30 Orioles Prospects list, Beavers is currently ranked #6. He was selected by the Orioles with the 33rd overall pick of the 2022 MLB Draft out of the University of California – Berkeley. In 119 games with Bowie, Beavers hit .241 (104-for-431) with 67 runs, 19 doubles, five triples, 15 home runs, 50 RBI, 31 stolen bases and 67 walks while slashing .343/.413/.756.

They join the Tides in the final week of the season, as Norfolk hosts the Nashville Sounds, the Milwaukee Brewers Triple-A affiliate. After tonight’s doubleheader, Norfolk has four games remaining in the 2024 season. The Tides currently feature five Top 30 Orioles prospects: Samuel Basallo (#2), Chayce McDermott (#5), Beavers (#6), Jud Fabian (#11), and Brandon Young (#19). Basallo is also ranked the #9 prospect in all of baseball by MLB Pipeline.
