Daniel Johnson News: Claimed by Orioles

The Orioles claimed Johnson off waivers from the Giants on Monday.

Johnson was briefly in the majors with the Orioles last season, receiving one plate appearance. He had been designated for assignment by the Giants after going 5-for-29 at the plate for San Francisco. Johnson will join the Orioles' 26-man active roster, and he could see some playing time while Colton Cowser (concussion) and Tyler O'Neill (wrist) are on the injured list.
