Burdick was acquired by the Orioles from the Marlins on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Burdick was designated for assignment by Miami last week and will now move on to Baltimore. The 26-year-old appeared in just 14 games for the Marlins last season and had a .768 OPS at the Triple-A level. Given the Orioles' depth, Burdick seems like a long shot to make the Opening Day roster.
Peyton Burdick Designated for assignment
The Marlins designated Burdick for assignment Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Burdick was removed from the 40-man roster in order to clear space for Darren McCaughan, who was acquired from Seattle on Friday. Burdick never returned to the Marlins after being optioned in late May, and he slashed .217/.325/.443 with 24 homers and 72 RBI in 492 plate appearances at Triple-A Jacksonville.
