Orioles signed RHP Luis Ayala to a one-year, $925,000 contract with a $1 million club option for 2013.
Ayala had to settle for a minor league deal last offseason, but he's getting a guaranteed contract after posting a 2.09 ERA and a 39/20 K/BB ratio over 56 innings with the Yankees last season. The 34-year-old right-hander will give O's manager Buck Showalter another experienced late-inning option setting up for projected closer Jim Johnson.
Feb 10 - 4:57 PM
Don Connolly of the Baltimore Sun reports that Luis Ayala will earn $925,000 in his deal with the Orioles and the contract also includes a $1 million club option for 2013.
Jim Bowden of MLB Network Radio has reported the same details. The contract will be finalized after the right-hander passes a physical. It's not a bad deal for the O's after Ayala posted a fine year for the Yankees in 2011, holding a 2.09 ERA in 52 appearances. He'll help set up for Jim Johnson.

Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports that the Orioles have reached an agreement with free agent reliever Luis Ayala.
Kubatko says it's a major league deal and is pending a physical. It's not clear how much the contract is for, though some reports say there could be an option tacked onto the one-year deal. Ayala posted a 2.09 ERA in 52 appearances with the Yankees last season, which was his first decent year since 2007. He'll presumably serve as a setup man for Jim Johnson. The signing of Ayala and recent acquisition of Matt Lindstrom would seem to make it unlikely that the O's will re-acquire Koji Uehara.

MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez reports that the Angels have made an offer to reliever Luis Ayala.
Gonzalez's source says Ayala is drawing interest from a "handful" of other teams and is "still weighing his options." So Anaheim may have to practice patience. The 34-year-old right-hander posted a surprising 2.09 ERA and 39/20 K/BB ratio across 56 innings last season out of the Yankees bullpen. He's a solid middle reliever.

Taylor Teagarden
D.L.
Taylor Teagarden will get a second opinion on his back injury from back specialist Dr. Andrew Dossett in Dallas.
Teagarden hasn't played at all this season due to a slight ligament tear in his lower back. His condition has improved somewhat since receiving three epidural injections, but there's no timetable for his return.

Brian Roberts (head) drew two walks in two plate appearances Wednesday at Double-A Bowie.
Roberts also scored a run and had a couple of defensive assists at second base in what was his minor league rehab debut. The 34-year-old hasn't appeared in a major league game in over a year and is likely to spend more than two weeks in the O's farm system. He's probably not worth a stash in most fantasy formats.

D.L.
Nolan Reimold (neck) is scheduled to receive a second epidural injection Friday.
Reimold has expressed some uncertainty about the need for a second shot, but he now appears to be leaning toward getting it. The 28-year-old received his first injection on May 11, but his neck condition is still causing left thumb and forearm numbness and shoulder pain. His return to the Orioles is not considered imminent.

Endy Chavez
D.L.
Orioles placed Endy Chavez on the 15-day disabled list with a sore intercostal muscle.
The Orioles are calling up Tommy Hunter to start Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader in place of Jason Hammel. Since Hunter hasn't been down for 10 days, he can only replace an injured player. Chavez, who suffered the injury Tuesday, will hit the shelf to make that happen. Chavez is batting just .133/.175/.167 this year.

He'll make his first rehab start Saturday and another one next Thursday. If the Orioles are happy with what they see, it's possible he could be activated from the disabled list. The 24-year-old southpaw has been sidelined all season with a left shoulder impingement.
