Rotowire
Denoyer cleared waivers Tuesday and was sent outright to Triple-A Norfolk, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
Denoyer was cast off the Orioles' 40-man roster last week and will officially remain within the organization. The 25-year-old righty posted an impressive 2.61 ERA and 0.80 WHIP at Double-A Bowie last season but has yet to carry that success into the Triple-A. level as evidenced by his 5.04 ERA and 1.76 WHIP through 30.1 innings in 2023.

Rotowire
Denoyer was designated for assignment by the Orioles on Tuesday.
Denoyer will now either remain with Triple-A Norfolk, get claimed off of waivers by another team or be released outright, the first of which seems most likely. The right-hander has produced a 5.04 ERA and 1.76 WHIP with 34 strikeouts over 30.1 innings in 14 appearances, including four starts, with Norfolk this season. In a corresponding move, Mark Kolozsvary had his contract selected from Triple-A on Tuesday and will replace Denoyer on the 40-man roster.

Rotowire
Denoyer was optioned to minor-league camp Friday by the Orioles, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Denoyer appeared in 21 games in the minors last year, tossing 71.2 innings across three levels with a 2.89 ERA and 99:17 K:BB, and he was protected by the Orioles from the Rule 5 draft this offseason by being added to the 40-man roster. The right-hander could make his big-league debut in 2023, but for now will likely begin the season with Triple-A Norfolk.
