He led the team with a .307 batting average in 112 games and also recorded 24 doubles and 80 RBI on his way to being named the Orioles Minor League Player of the Year. The Orioles took notice of his success and he made his Major League debut August, 20 2004, ultimately appearing in nine Major League games before injuring his shoulder.

After reinjuring his shoulder in Spring Training, Majewski missed the entire 2005 season and returned to play the 2006 season with the Triple-A Ottawa Lynx. In 2007, Majewski appeared in 91 games for the Baysox, where he hit .295 with 23 doubles and 43 RBI before being promoted to Triple-A Norfolk to finish the year.
