Avery has been assigned to minor league camp by the Tigers. | ||||||
He was signed as a depth option on a minor league deal, but with a slew of healthy options available, Avery was deemed expendable. If he remains in the organization, Avery will head to Triple-A Toledo to begin the season. | ||||||

Avery signed a minor league contract with the Tigers on Thursday that includes an invite to spring training, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports. | ||||||
Avery has failed to live up to expectations as a second-round pick so far in his career, but he did hit .275/.344/.413 with a career-high 10 homers and 31 stolen bases in 120 games at the Triple-A level in 2014 and is just entering his age-25 season. It seems likely he will end up back at Triple-A to begin 2015, but breaking camp with the big club is not completely out of the question for Avery. | ||||||

Mariners acquired OF Xavier Avery from the Orioles for 1B/OF Michael Morse. | ||||||
Avery is a career .260/.328/.354 hitter in the minors that batted only .223/.305/.340 during a 32-game stint with the O's last year. He's a great athlete, but his lack of hitting skills limits him to being, at best, a fourth outfielder. | ||||||

Orioles optioned OF Xavier Avery, RHP Zach Clark and LHP Mike Belfiore to Triple-A Norfolk. | ||||||

Avery hit .278 (5-for-18) during his latest stint in the majors and is capable of backing up all three outfield spots. He could see semi-regular starts behind Nate McLouth in left field, but won't hold any fantasy value outside of AL-only leagues. | ||||||

Avery is starting in left field on Thursday night against the Indians and could be in line for regular playing time while the O's battle through a multitude of outfield injuries. Avery, 22, hit just .217 with a .615 OPS in 68 plate appearances for Baltimore earler this year, but he may be a good source of steals in AL-only fantasy leagues. | ||||||

He's not on the 40-man roster, so the O's will have to do some shuffling. Avery, 22, is batting .273/.373/.469 with five homers and eight steals for Norfolk. He could receive some playing time in left field with both Nolan Reimold and Endy Chavez out. Avery will be making his major league debut. | ||||||
