Livan Soto Promoted To The Major Leagues
5 months agoBaltimore Orioles shortstop prospect Livan Soto is being promoted to the major leagues, according to Roch Kubatko of MASN. Infielder Jordan Westburg was diagnosed with a fractured hand on Wednesday afternoon which opens the door for Soto to serve as a utility option in the Baltimore infield. The 24-year-old got a brief taste of the big leagues over the past few seasons with several different clubs and held a .358/.397/.507 line across 23 games. At Triple-A this season, Soto held a .280/.378/.376 line with 15 doubles, four home runs, and four stolen bases. Soto may not receive stable playing time as top prospect Jackson Holliday will hold the keystone down, and Ramon Urias will likely cover the hot corner. However, if Soto begins to see stable opportunities, he could be worth a flier in deep AL-only formats.
