Orioles Select Contract of Veteran Infielder Before White Sox Game

Baltimore signs veteran infielder to boost bench depth

Ramirez brings playoff experience and versatility to the Orioles

The Baltimore Orioles have selected the contract of veteran infielder Jose Ramirez before their game against the Chicago White Sox. Ramirez, 34, was signed to a minor league contract in March and has been playing for the Orioles' Triple-A affiliate, the Norfolk Tides.

Ramirez is a versatile infielder who can play all four infield positions. He has 10 years of Major League experience, including four seasons with the Cleveland Guardians. Ramirez has a career batting average of .275 with 108 home runs and 591 RBIs.

The Orioles are hoping that Ramirez can provide some depth to their bench. The team has been struggling with injuries this season, and Ramirez could help to fill in at multiple positions. He could also be a valuable mentor for the Orioles' younger players.

**Here are some of Ramirez's career highlights:** * 2x All-Star * 4x Silver Slugger * Gold Glove Award winner * World Series champion (2016)
