Kyle Karros is absent from the Rockies’ starting lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Tigers in Motown.

Karros had started each of the first five games since returning from the concussion injured list, so they’ll give him a breather in this one. Vimael Machin will start in his place at the hot corner and will bat seventh against Tigers’ right-hander Jackson Jobe.

Rockies selected the contract of INF Vimael Machin from Triple-A Albuquerque.

With Wilii Castro (foot) heading to the injured list on Saturday, Machin will get an opportunity to show the Rockies what he can do. The 32-year-old has hit an impressive .290/.371/.445 with 12 homers, 73 RBI and seven stolen bases in 488 plate appearances at Triple-A Albuquerque this season.

Rockies reassigned INF/OFs Charlie Condon, Cole Carrigg and Vimael Machin to minor league camp.

No one from this trio was expected to crack the Rockies’ Opening Day roster, but Condon made a strong case this spring — hitting .385 (15-for-39) with three homers and nine RBI over 46 plate appearances during Cactus League play. If Troy Johnston or TJ Rumfield struggle early in the season and Condon gets off to a hot start at Triple-A Albuquerque, he could push for a promotion.

Rockies signed INF Vimael Machín to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Machín appeared in just four big league contests with the Orioles in 2025, going 1-for-11 (.091) with a solo homer and a 2/1 K/BB ratio. He’ll get an opportunity in Cactus League action to compete for a reserve spot on the Rockies’ Opening Day roster, though he’ll be facing an uphill battle.

Orioles sent INF Vimael Machín outright to Triple-A Norfolk.

The 31-year-old infielder was designated for assignment earlier in the week but he passed through waivers unclaimed and will continue to function as extra infield depth for the O’s. He can continue to be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Orioles designated INF Vimael Machín for assignment.

Machín’s time on the Orioles roster was short and not particularly sweet. The 31-year-old is now off the 40-man roster, and the Orioles selected the contract of Emmanuel Rivera to take his spot. Machín will now be on the waiver wire.

Orioles selected the contract of INF Vimael Machin from Triple-A Norfolk.

The 31-year-old infielder will add some depth in the O’s infield with Jordan Westburg (ankle) hitting the injured list on Friday. Machin hasn’t appeared in a big league game since the 2022 season with the Athletics. At Triple-A Norfolk this season, he was hitting .285/.344/.470 with 15 homers, 70 RBI and 13 stolen bases over 443 plate appearances.

Orioles optioned RHP Kyle Gibson to Triple-A Norfolk; reassigned INF Emmanuel Rivera, INF Luis Vázquez, INF Vimael Machín and C Maverick Handley to minor league camp.

Gibson will head to the minors to continue ramping up his throwing program after signing a one-year, $5.25 million contract last week to bolster Baltimore’s injury-depleted rotation. The 37-year-old veteran figures to be ready to make his season debut at some point in April.

Vimael Machin was 3-for-3 with a homer and a double Sunday in the Orioles’ 7-3 takedown of the Phillies.

Machin’s 351-foot homer was not his hardest-hit ball of the day. That, instead, was a 106.7 mph double in the sixth inning. The journeyman infielder last played in the majors with the A’s in 2022, and he’s a career .208/.290/.261 hitter with one homer in 361 plate appearances. It would likely take Jorge Mateo opening on IL and another infielder getting hurt for Machin to make the Orioles out of camp.
