Ragsdale has yet to make his MLB debut and has recorded a 5.37 ERA, 1.52 WHIP, and 58 strikeouts across 65.1 innings at the Triple-A level this season.
Why It's Important?
The acquisition of Carson Ragsdale is a strategic move for the Orioles as they bolster their pitching depth. Ragsdale's addition to the roster provides the team with potential future talent, which is crucial for long-term development and competitiveness.

This move reflects the Orioles' focus on building a strong foundation for future seasons, aiming to enhance their pitching capabilities.
