The Orioles optioned Trimble to minor-league camp Sunday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Baltimore added Trimble to its 40-man roster during the offseason to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft. The 25-year-old could make his big-league debut at some point in 2026, but he may need multiple outfielders to go down with injuries before he gets a look. Trimble is expected to open the 2026 campaign at Triple-A Norfolk after slashing .259/.319/.435 with five home runs and eight steals in 30 games at the level last season.

The Orioles selected Trimble's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.
After mostly being stuck in the lower minors for the previous few years, Trimble made it to the Triple-A level in 2025 and had a .259/.319/.435 slash line in 30 games for Norfolk. A strong showing in spring training could set him up to make his MLB debut in 2026.

Orioles' Reed Trimble: Playing at extended spring training
Rotowire
Trimble (shoulder) went 1-for-2 with two walks in an extended spring training game Tuesday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
Trimble underwent left shoulder surgery in December, and he's just now getting back up to speed. The outfielder, a second-round pick from 2021, still has a little more to go in his recovery, but he should be back with Single-A Delmarva in the near future to begin his second minor-league campaign.
