The Baltimore Orioles acquired infielder Luis Vazquez from the Chicago Cubs on Friday for cash considerations.
Vazquez, 25, made his MLB debut last season and was 1-for-12 with one RBI in 11 games for the Cubs. He had been designated for assignment by Chicago earlier in the week.
He batted .263 with eight homers and 24 RBIs in 64 games with Triple-A Iowa in 2024.
The Cubs drafted Vazquez in the 14th round in 2017. He has played at shortstop, third base and second base.
To make room on the 40-man roster, Baltimore designated infielder Emmanuel Rivera for assignment.
