Orioles purchased the contract of OF Delmon Young from Triple-A Norfolk. Nolan Reimold getting injured again opened up the door for Young to make the roster. He should see some playing time at DH and in left field versus lefties.

With Nolan Reimold headed to the disabled list, Delmon Young will likely make the Orioles' Opening Day roster. Young is in camp as a non-roster invitee, and Reimold's injury opens the door for him to head north with the club. The Orioles signed Young to a minor league contract in January after he split time between the Phillies and Rays last season. The 28-year-old was batting .286 in Grapefruit League games heading into Wednesday night's action. Steve Pearce, another player competing for a bench job, also has a good shot to make the team in Reimold's absence.

Delmon Young went 0-for-4 against the Yankees as the Orioles were shut out Thursday. Young became redundant in Baltimore with the Nelson Cruz signing, but technically, the team still has room for both if it wants to play one in left field most of the time. Young, though, hasn't shown anything to make it more likely the team will go that route. He's currently 4-for-24 with no homers and no walks.

Orioles manager Buck Showalted admitted Sunday that he's been impressed by what he's seen of Delmon Young so far this spring. The 28-year-old outfielder is a clear liability in the outfield, but could work his way onto the O's roster as a right-handed bat off the bench and designated hitter option.

Orioles signed OF/DH Delmon Young to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training. Young shouldn't have trouble earning an Opening Day roster spot, as there's playing time available for him at designated hitter and possibly left field. The 28-year-old hit .260/.307/.407 with 11 home runs and 38 RBI in 103 games between the Phillies and Rays in 2013. He's a career .303/.341/.471 hitter against left-handed pitching.

According to MASN's Roch Kubatko, the Orioles are interested in signing Delmon Young to a minor league deal. Young will be at Orioles minicamp this week, presumably for a tryout and physical exam. The 28-year-old hit .260/.307/.407 with 11 home runs and 38 RBI in 103 games between the Phillies and Rays and 2013. He could serve as a part-time DH in 2014 for the Orioles.

According to Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald, the Marlins have expressed interest in Delmon Young. Miami would presumably ask the 28-year-old free agent to play first base. Young batted .260 with a weak .715 OPS in 103 games this year between the Phillies and Rays. He can probably be had on a one-year contract.

Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports that Delmon Young has been working out at first base in an effort to improve his versatility. Still just 28-years-old, Young has declared himself 100% healthy. He's also dropped a significant amount of weight this offseason, reportedly tipping the scales at just 219 pounds. While he's a butcher in the outfield, he's proven that he can still be effective at the dish, especially against left-handed pitching, and should be able to find another team willing to take a chance on him.

Delmon Young hit a solo home run, the only homer hit in the game, in the Rays' win over the Indians on Wednesday. The Young signing was mocked after the hapless Phillies released him in mid-August, but he got the last laugh on Wednesday when he turned around a Danny Salazar fastball to get the Rays on the board in the third inning. It was his only hit of the night.

Delmon Young went 2-for-4 and hit his first homer for the Rays since 2007 against the Mariners on Friday. Young is 5-for-12 since rejoining his original team on Sept. 1. He was expected to play mostly against lefties, but he got the nod against a righty in Hisashi Iwakuma tonight. Maybe he'll have some value in AL-only leagues after all.
