The San Diego Padres submitted a claim for outfielder Luis Robert Jr. when he hit the waiver wire, but he ultimately joined the Baltimore Orioles.
The San Diego Padres made an attempt to claim outfielder Luis Robert Jr. off waivers last week, but he was ultimately claimed by the Baltimore Orioles, who had a higher waiver priority due to their poorer record.
San Diego's interest in Robert came after injuries to players Gavin Sheets and Luis Rengifo, creating a potential opening in their outfield. Robert had been performing well, achieving an .841 OPS in August and hitting six home runs during that month.
Robert is now with the Orioles, where he debuted in a game against the Rockies, contributing with a two-run double. If Baltimore decides to decline his $20 million option, he will enter free agency alongside other notable outfielders.
