Overview

  • The Orioles acquired right-handed reliever Scott Blewett from the Atlanta Braves for cash, marking his third roster move this season after brief stints with Minnesota and Atlanta
  • Blewett owns a 2-0 record with a 3.91 ERA in 15 relief outings and has yet to report to Baltimore, where another bullpen arm is expected to be designated
  • Outfielder Ramón Laureano was activated from the 10-day injured list after compiling a .266 average and .852 OPS before spraining his ankle late last month
  • Jordyn Adams was designated for assignment to clear a 40-man roster spot for Blewett’s arrival
  • Catcher Gary Sánchez and infielder Jordan Westburg are on minor league rehab assignments and outfielders Tyler O’Neill and Cedric Mullins are nearing returns, setting up challenging roster decisions
