BALTIMORE–The Orioles recalled right-hander Mike Baumann from Triple-A Norfolk and optioned right-hander Bryan Baker to Norfolk.
Baumann, who was 9-1 with a 3.82 ERA before he was optioned to Norfolk on August 23rd, will give the Orioles length in the bullpen.
Baker, who had been recalled on Thursday, allowed Harold Ramirez’s three-run home run on Friday night. He pitched three innings in the 7-1 loss to Tampa Bay and wouldn’t have been available to pitch for several days.
In 46 games, Baker was 4-3 with a 3.60 ERA.
