The Orioles optioned Noda to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.
Noda joined Baltimore in early August after being claimed off waivers from the White Sox and went 2-for-13 with an RBI and a stolen base in seven games with the big club. He’s headed to the minors to create room on the 26-man active roster for catcher/first baseman Samuel Basallo, who was called up from Norfolk.
