Orioles placed LHP Randy Wolf on the 60-day disabled list with a torn ulnar collateral ligament.

Wolf has already been ruled out for the remainder of the 2012 season. This is primarily a procedural move.

Randy Wolf - R - Orioles

Randy Wolf has been diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow.

Wolf is obviously done for the season and could require a second Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery. The veteran left-hander posted a 5.28 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 8/7 K/BB ratio in 15 1/3 innings this season for the Orioles. He will be a free agent this winter.

Randy Wolf - R - Orioles

Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Randy Wolf has "two or three options" in regards to how he wants to handle his left elbow injury.

Wolf underwent an MRI, but the O's haven't released the results yet. Though the team hasn't confirmed it, surgery certainly seems to be one of the options. "There are two or three options," Showalter said. "Randy’s still got some questions he wants to ask Dr. Wilckens and Dr. Yocum before he and we make a definite decision about his availability for the rest of the year."

Randy Wolf is scheduled to visit Dr. Lewis Yocum later this week about his injured left elbow.

Wolf felt elbow discomfort in the final inning of his start Saturday against the Red Sox and the O's are obviously worried that he has some level of strucutural damage. The veteran starter is likely done for the season, and he could miss part of 2013 if he needs surgery.

Randy Wolf - R - Orioles

Randy Wolf felt elbow discomfort on Saturday against the Red Sox and will undergo an MRI on Tuesday.

The Orioles are optimistic that the lefty will be ready to go on Friday, but he may require a cortisone injection. Wolf has registered a 5.28 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 8/7 K/BB ratio in 15 1/3 innings since joining Baltimore.

Randy Wolf - R - Orioles

Randy Wolf pitched decently in his second start as a member of the Orioles, allowing three runs on seven hits over five innings in a no-decision against the Red Sox on Saturday.

Wolf also walked two and struck out two in the game. The Orioles literally pulled Wolf from the scrap heap last month, and he’s come in to go 2-0 despite a 5.28 ERA in his five appearances (two starts). It’s unlikely that he’ll draw another start in the Orioles rotation the remainder of the season.

Randy Wolf has been named the Orioles' starter for Sunday's game against the Athletics in Oakland.

It will be his first start with his new club, and first overall since August 19 with the Brewers. He owns an underwhelming 5-10 record, 5.69 ERA and 1.55 WHIP over 148 2/3 innings on the season.

Randy Wolf - R - Orioles

Orioles signed LHP Randy Wolf to a one-year contract.

Wolf will make the veteran minimum while pitching in a bullpen role for the Orioles, though it's possible he could get a chance to start down the line. The veteran left-hander was released by the Brewers after posting a 5.69 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 96/45 K/BB ratio across 142 1/3 innings.

Randy Wolf - R - Orioles

Orioles manager Buck Showalter said that Randy Wolf could be used as a starter or reliever.

Brian Matusz is the lone southpaw in the Orioles' bullpen right now and he's hardly established as a lefty specialist, so relief might be the logical spot for Wolf. The 37-year-old has really struggled this season in general, but he has held left-handed batters to a .235/.306/.402 batting line for his career. The Orioles are expected to officially sign him within the next 24 hours.

Randy Wolf - R - Orioles

Britt Ghiroli of MLB.com reports that the Orioles are nearing an agreement with left-hander Randy Wolf.

Wolf was released by the Brewers last week after posting a 5.69 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 96/45 K/BB ratio across 142 1/3 innings. He probably won't fare much better in the American League, but the O's are desperate. The deal should be finalized at some point over the next 24 hours.

According to MLB Network's Peter Gammons, "several teams" have expressed interest in free agent Randy Wolf.

Gammons specifically mentions an AL East contender as having interest. Wolf, who was released by the Brewers earlier this week, holds a 5.69 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 142-plus innings (24 starts) this season. He would count for a prorated share of the veteran minimum if signed to a major league contract.

Randy Wolf - R - Orioles

Brewers released LHP Randy Wolf.

And on his 36th birthday, no less. The Brewers were recently considering removing Wolf from the rotation, as Shaun Marcum (elbow) will return from the disabled list soon and Wily Peralta and Tyler Thornburg are expected to get looks in the starting rotation down the stretch, but the veteran southpaw is now free to seek opportunities elsewhere. After posting a quality 3.69 ERA last year, Wolf has an ugly 5.69 ERA and 96/45 K/BB ratio over 142 1/3 innings this season. The Brewers will be on the hook for the $1.5 million buyout on his $10 million club option for next year.

Randy Wolf - R - Orioles

Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said Randy Wolf could be removed from the rotation when Shaun Marcum (elbow) returns later this week.

Roenicke said that, "right now," the team plans on keeping Wolf in the rotation, but he added that "will be something we talk about." The Brewers also have Mike Fiers, Mark Rogers and Marco Estrada nearing their innings limits, so there are a lot of decisions that need to be made. Wolf, who is making $9.5 million this season, holds a 5.69 ERA and 1.57 WHIP on the season.
