Shipped to Baltimore The Athletics traded Cameron to the Orioles on Thursday in exchange for cash.
Impact After slashing .200/.258/.329 with 15 RBI across 186 plate appearances with the A's last season, Cameron will now move across the country to give the Orioles some additional outfield depth. Given how crowded Baltimore's outfield room is already, it's unlikely the 27-year-old takes on a meaningful role with the O's in 2025.

Losing work vs. RHPs Cameron is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.
Impact Cameron appears to have lost hold of a regular spot in the Oakland lineup, as he'll take a seat for the Athletics' fifth consecutive matchup with a right-handed starter or opening pitcher. The left-handed-hitting Tristan Gray seems to have displaced Cameron in the everyday lineup, but the right-handed-hitting Cameron should still be a regular presence in the starting nine when the Athletics oppose lefties.

Registers fifth steal Cameron went 1-for-4 with one RBI and one stolen base in Friday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Tigers.
Impact Cameron had a decent game, including his third steal in his last 11 contests. He's gone 8-for-40 (.200) with four RBI and 16 strikeouts in that span. However, it was the man who pinch hit for him -- Seth Brown -- who was the hero in Friday's contest with two clutch hits in extra innings. Cameron is at a .190/.255/.331 slash line with five home runs, five steals, 14 RBI and 19 runs scored over 157 plate appearances this year. Cameron has remained the Athletics' fourth outfielder even with Miguel Andujar (abdomen) being shut down for the year in late August.

Resting again Tuesday Cameron isn't in the Athletics' lineup Tuesday against the Mariners.
Impact Cameron will sit down for a second consecutive game after going 6-for-31 with 12 strikeouts across his past eight contests. Seth Brown will start in left field instead, opening up first base for Tristan Gray.

Sitting down Monday Cameron isn't in Oakland's lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.
Impact Cameron has slashed .194/.188/.258 with three RBI while playing in each of the Athletics' last eight games, and he'll now receive a day off to regroup. Seth Brown will take over in left field while Cameron rests, allowing Tyler Nevin to start at first base.

Filling in for injured Andujar Cameron will start in left field and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Reds.
Impact The Athletics look set to give Cameron a look in an everyday role after Miguel Andujar (core) was placed on the injured list Wednesday. While Andujar was held out of the lineup both of the previous two contests, Cameron filled in for him in left field and went 1-for-6 with an RBI and a stolen base. Cameron is slashing .202/.279/.368 with five home runs and four steals across 129 plate appearances in the big leagues for the season.

Productive in Sunday's start Cameron went 1-for-2 with an RBI sacrifice fly and a stolen base in a win over the Brewers on Sunday.
Impact Cameron's fourth-inning sacrifice fly snapped a 2-2 tie and gave the Athletics a lead they'd hold on to the rest of the way. Cameron's stolen base was also his second in the last three games, and the veteran outfielder has now rather quietly fashioned a .303 average and .888 OPS with four extra-base hits, six RBI and seven runs across his last 15 contests overall.
AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE
Records third steal Cameron went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run in a win over the Rays on Monday.
Impact Cameron drew his sixth start of August and managed to rap out a single for the third straight game. The journeyman outfielder appears set to continue seeing intermittent playing time down the stretch, but he's a fantasy non-factor while sitting on a .189/.275/.358 slash line on the season.
AUGUST 23 • ROTOWIRE
Doubles in rare start Cameron went 1-for-4 with a double and a run in a win over the Blue Jays on Sunday.
Impact Cameron drew his first start since last Monday and delivered his second extra-base hit since July 27. The little-used outfielder holds just a .185 average and .659 OPS across 38 games at the big-league level in 2024, so his opportunities are likely to remain sparse as long as good health prevails in the Athletics' outfield.

Goes deep Tuesday Cameron went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Giants.
Impact Cameron got the A's on the board with a solo blast in the second inning off Robbie Ray for his second homer over his last three games. Cameron's only made six starts in July and has reached safely in all of them. He's posted five hits with his two home runs being the only ones going for extra bases and the only times he's knocked in runs. The 27-year-old is slashing .188/.281/.388 with five homers, nine RBI, 13 runs, two steals and a 10:21 BB:K in 96 plate appearances this year.

Reaches twice in low-scoring win Cameron went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a walk in a win over the Angels on Saturday.
Impact Cameron managed to hit safely for the fourth straight start dating back to July 12 and added his first steal since June 1 for good measure. The 27-year-old is seeing occasional opportunities in the outfield and has also slotted in twice as the designated hitter, but his .184 average and .626 OPS don't make much of a case for him to see reliable playing time.

Lifts fourth homer in win Cameron went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a win over the Angels on Thursday.
Impact Cameron's 382-foot shot to right center in the fourth with Tyler Nevin aboard ended up serving as the game-winning hit, as it erased a 5-4 lead and gave the Athletics a one-run lead they wouldn't relinquish. The 27-year-old had last left the yard June 28, and Thursday's start, which came in center field, was Cameron's first since July 13.

Productive in leadoff role Cameron went 1-for-2 with a walk and a run in a win over the Phillies on Friday.
Impact Usual leadoff hitter JJ Bleday opened the game on the bench with southpaw Ranger Suarez on the mound for the Phillies, and Cameron took advantage of his first taste of game action since last Saturday. The young outfielder has offered some decent pop -- he's laced five of his 12 hits for extra bases -- and has drawn walks at an impressive 11.1 percent clip. However, Cameron has also been saddled by an astoundingly low .180 BABIP, and he's been given scant opportunity to work out the kinks of late even with Esteury Ruiz's (wrist) absence now well into its second month.

Promoted from Triple-A The Athletics selected Cameron's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday.
Impact Cameron, 27, has slashed a robust .307/.424/.577 with six home runs and eight stolen bases over 41 contests with Las Vegas this season. Keep in mind, however, that Las Vegas is a favorable hitting environment, and in 73 games at the major-league level, Cameron has slashed a meager .201/.266/.330. He was called up to take the spot on the 26-man active roster that was vacated by Esteury Ruiz (wrist), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. The right-handed-hitting Cameron could settle in as a short-side platoon option in the outfield.
