• Orioles' Peyton Burdick: Claimed by O's

  Rotowire Mar 16, 2024

  The Orioles claimed Burdick off waviers from the White Sox on Saturday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. After being DFA'd by Chicago on Wednesday, Burdick will retain a 40-man roster spot as he moves to Baltimore. The Orioles already have a healthy amount of talent in their major-league outfield, so Burdick will head to Triple-A Norfolk to begin the season and give the team some organizational depth.

• White Sox's Peyton Burdick: Designated for assignment

  Rotowire Mar 13, 2024

  The White Sox designated Burdick for assignment Wednesday. Burdick will be squeezed off the White Sox's 40-man roster as a result of Chicago receiving four players from the Padres in exchange for Dylan Cease. Burdick owns a .200/.281/.368 slash line across 139 career MLB plate appearances and went just 1-for-14 over eight games during spring training. The White Sox's poor outfield depth leaves room for Burdick to return to the big-league club this season, but he would likely need to show significant improvement at the plate first.

• White Sox's Peyton Burdick: Sent back to minors

  Rotowire Mar 11, 2024

  The White Sox optioned Burdick to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports. A waiver claim from Baltimore last month, Burdick went just 1-for-14 at the dish this spring to earn a trip to Charlotte. He could still spend a good amount of time with the White Sox this season given the club's lackluster options in the outfield.

  Burdick was claimed off waivers by the White Sox on Friday. Burdick was designated for assignment by the Orioles on Monday and will now join his third organization of the offseason. The 26-year-old's immediate outlook for playing time improves significantly with the rebuilding White Sox, though he'll need a strong showing during spring training to have a chance of cracking the Opening Day roster.

• Orioles' Peyton Burdick: Sent to Baltimore

  Rotowire Feb 14, 2024

  Burdick was acquired by the Orioles from the Marlins on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports. Burdick was designated for assignment by Miami last week and will now move on to Baltimore. The 26-year-old appeared in just 14 games for the Marlins last season and had a .768 OPS at the Triple-A level. Given the Orioles' depth, Burdick seems like a long shot to make the Opening Day roster.

• Marlins' Peyton Burdick: Designated for assignment

  Rotowire Feb 9, 2024

  The Marlins designated Burdick for assignment Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. Burdick was removed from the 40-man roster in order to clear space for Darren McCaughan, who was acquired from Seattle on Friday. Burdick saw some early action with the Marlins in 2023 but never returned to the big-league roster after being optioned in late May, and he slashed .217/.325/.443 with 24 homers and 72 RBI in 492 plate appearances at Triple-A Jacksonville.

• Marlins' Peyton Burdick: Nabs third start in four games

  Rotowire May 14, 2023

  Burdick will start in right field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Reds, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. Burdick will pick up his third start in four games, and he could be in store for a semi-regular role in the corner outfield in the short term after Jesus Sanchez (hamstring) joined Avisail Garcia (back) on the 10-day injured list Sunday. Since receiving a call-up from Triple-A Jacksonville on May 3, Burdick has gone 4-for-16 with a home run, two doubles and one stolen base over seven games.

• Marlins' Peyton Burdick: Recalled from Triple-A

  Rotowire May 3, 2023

  Miami recalled Burdick from Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. Burdick will join the big club as a replacement for Garrett Cooper, who was placed on the 10-day injured list with an inner ear infection. In 113 plate appearances with Jacksonville this season, Burdick hit .293 with a 1.017 OPS and 10 home runs while adding five stolen bases, but he also had a ghastly 38.9 percent strikeout rate. He struggled to a .207/.284/.380 slash line in his 32 games with the Marlins in 2022, but he'll get another chance to see if the success he's had in the minors can translate to the highest level.

• Marlins' Peyton Burdick: Available Tuesday

  Rotowire Mar 21, 2023

  Burdick (toe) is listed as an available reserve option Tuesday for the Marlins' Grapefruit League game against the Astros, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports. Burdick looks like he'll have a chance to make his first spring appearance since March 7 after being sidelined for the past two weeks with a right toe sprain. Before sustaining the injury, Burdick might have been on the outside looking in for a spot on the Marlins' Opening Day roster, so the missed time certainly didn't help his cause.

• Marlins' Peyton Burdick: Undergoing MRI on toe

  Rotowire Mar 11, 2023

  Burdick underwent an MRI on his sprained right big toe Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. The severity of Burdick's injury and his expected return date should become clear once the results of the test are known. The outfielder hit .207/.284/.380 in his 32-game debut last season and was competing for a bench spot at best even before the injury.

• Marlins' Peyton Burdick: Launches two-run homer

  Rotowire Oct 2, 2022

  Burdick went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's win over the Brewers. Burdick's two-run shot in the third inning sent Jordan Groshans to the plate for the first runs of the game. It was his third homer of the season and his first since Aug. 26 after seeing limited time. The young outfielder has 87 at-bats since Aug. 5, but he has not done much to instill confidence in him to produce, as he is slashing .172/.258/.322.

  Rotowire Aug 24, 2022

  Burdick went 0-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the A's. The 25-year-old rookie also struck out three times, but Burdick made the most of his one time on base after reaching on a fielder's choice in the eighth inning. He's had a rough start to his first stint in the bigs, batting only .150 (9-for-60) with one homer, one steal and a 7:26 BB:K in 19 games.

The 25-year-old slashed .229/.344/.430 with 14 homers, 70 runs, 51 RBI and eight steals over 88 games with the Triple-A club to begin the year, and he's expected to see regular playing time for Miami over the final two months of the season.

• Marlins' Peyton Burdick: Advances to Triple-A

  Rotowire Sep 20, 2021

  Burdick will join Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. Burdick has had some struggles making contact this season, striking out in 29.3 percent of his plate appearances for Double-A Pensacola, but he's made up for it by doing everything else at the plate. He's homered 23 times in 106 games while walking at a 16.5 percent clip, helping him to a .231/.376/.472 slash line. He'll spend a brief period at the Triple-A level to end the season and will likely open there next year.

• Marlins' Peyton Burdick: Set to join major-league camp

  Rotowire Feb 8, 2021

  Burdick earned an invitation to the Marlins' big-league camp Monday. A third-round pick in the 2019 draft, Burdick impressed in his first taste of professional ball, hitting .308/.407/.542 over 69 games that season, adding 11 homers and seven steals. Without the canceled minor-league season last year, he could be on the cusp of the majors already, as he'll turn 24 before Opening Day, but he'll presumably need some experience in the upper minors before being seriously considered for a roster spot.
