Alvarez will begin the season with Triple-A Norfolk, Roch Kubatko of MASN reports.
The 30-year-old slugger was a late addition to Orioles camp after signing an NRI deal earlier in March, but he certainly did his best to prove his worth by posting a .900 OPS with two home runs in eight spring games. Even though this assignment isn't the news he was looking for, Alvarez will likely find his way back to the majors if he continues to mash while proving to be a somewhat competent outfield defender during his time at Triple-A.
