The Orioles recalled outfielder/designated hitter Heston Kjerstad from Triple-A Norfolk. Kjerstad, who hit .143 (2-for-14) in seven games earlier this season was hitting .300 with 16 home runs and 58 RBIs with a .998 OPS for Norfolk.

Last season, Kjerstad hit .233 with two home runs and three RBIs in 13 games.

To make room for Kjerstad on the 26-man roster, the Orioles designated Nick Maton for assignment. Maton’s contract was purchased last Wednesday from Norfolk after Jordan Westburg collided with New York’s Juan Soto. Another left-handed hitting outfielder, Kyle Stowers was optioned to Norfolk.

Maton played in the final two innings of the Orioles’ 17-5 win over the Yankees on Thursday, but did not have a plate appearance.

The Orioles have 39 players on their 40-man roster.
