Stuart Pomeranz will undergo surgery on his lower back this offseason.

This explains why Pomeranz was designated for assignment. According to MASN's Roch Kubatko, Pomeranz has a broken vertebrae and the surgery will sideline him through the 2013 season. The Orioles are expected to re-sign him to a minor league deal, but he won't count against the 40-man roster.

Orioles activated RHP Stuart Pomeranz from the 60-day disabled list.

Pomeranz made a surprise jump up to the majors this season after languishing in the minors for many years, but he wound up missing lots of time with oblique and leg issues. He'll compete for a middle relief job in spring training if healthy.
