PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Baltimore Orioles, thin on the bench because of injuries, acquired outfielder-first baseman Eli Marrero from the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday for minor league infielder Pete Maestrales.
Marrero, who had 10 homers and 40 RBIs last season as a part-time player with the Braves, will undergo a physical Thursday. If he passes, he will join the Orioles in Cincinnati on Friday, when a 25-man roster move will be made to accommodate him.
To fit him on their 40-man roster, the Orioles designated Triple-A Ottawa right-hander Jacobo Sequea for assignment.
