The Baltimore Orioles activated infielder/outfielder Vidal Brujan after he was claimed off waivers Sunday and brought back left-hander Cade Povich from the injured list.
In corresponding moves, the Orioles optioned right-hander Houston Roth and outfielder Jordyn Adams to Triple-A Norfolk.
Brujan, 27, was designated for assignment Wednesday by the Chicago Cubs after he batted .222 with three RBIs in 36 games. Brujan is a career .192 hitter with five home runs, 43 RBIs and 16 stolen bases in 237 games with the Tampa Bay Rays (2021-23), Marlins (2024) and Cubs.
Povich, 25, was 2-5 with a 5.15 ERA in 13 appearances (12 starts) for Baltimore earlier this season. He has been out since June 16 with left hip inflammation.
Roth, 27, had his contract selected by the Orioles on Tuesday but did not appear in a major league game. Adams, 25, had his contract selected Friday. He has three at-bats over eight games with the Orioles this season.
