Fantasy Impact:
Basallo, the Orioles' No. 1 prospect, has been called up after slashing .270/.377/.589 across 321 plate appearances in the minors this season. With Adley Rutschman healthy, Basallo figures to be in a near-everyday role at designated hitter and first base, and could also fill in at catcher when Rutschman needs a day off. In a corresponding move, Zach Eflin was transferred to the 60-day injured list, and Ryan Noda was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk.
