The Baltimore Orioles promoted prospect Heston Kjerstad from Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday.
The outfielder joined the Orioles prior to a significant four-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays. Kjerstad came in as a pinch-hitter on Thursday night, going 0-for-1 with a strikeout in Baltimore\'s 4-3 loss.
\"This is something I\'ve worked for my whole life, something I\'ve thought about,\" Kjerstad said. \"To finally be here and be in the moment is awesome so far.\"
He was the No. 2 pick in the 2020 amateur draft.
