Taylor Teagarden (thumb) will start a hitting and catching program on Monday.

Teagarden had the splint removed from his dislocated left thumb on Friday and is ready to begin baseball activities. He should be ready to return late this month or early next month.

Brian Roberts - 2B - Orioles

Brian Roberts (knee) will have the sutures removed from his right leg on Monday.

They were supposed to be removed on Friday, but Roberts wasn't sufficiently healed at that time. The second baseman is coming back from surgery to repair a ruptured tendon in the back of his right knee and will be out for at least the next six weeks or so.

Freddy Garcia - S - Orioles

Freddy Garcia will start on Monday against the Yankees.

Garcia was knocked around his last time out and might only be given one more shot to shape up. He should be avoided for fantasy purposes on Monday.

Danny Valencia - 3B - Orioles

Orioles recalled 3B Danny Valencia from Triple-A Norfolk.

Valencia has had a big year for Norfolk, batting .306 with 11 home runs and 35 RBI in 40 games. He went deep seven times over his past 10 contests. Valencia figures to see some at-bats in the DH spot.
May 19 - 8:58 AM
Tommy Hunter - R - Orioles

Tommy Hunter hurled 2 2/3 scoreless innings in relief of Jair Jurrjens to record his first hold of 2013 in Baltimore's 10-6 loss Saturday.

Hunter finished with a 5.45 ERA in 2012 and a 4.68 ERA in 2011, mostly as a starter. He's a better bullpen fit, where he's posted a 1.54 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 18/4 K/BB rate to go with a 3-1 record and a save over 23 1/3 innings. If Hunter keeps it up, Baltimore is likely to increase his usage to higher-leverage situations.
May 19 - 4:40 AM
Ryan Flaherty - 2B - Orioles

Orioles optioned INF Ryan Flaherty to Triple-A Norfolk.

A corresponding move will come on Sunday. Flaherty was hitting .133/.228/.233 in 90 at-bats this year.
May 18 - 8:42 PM
Jim Johnson - R - Orioles

Jim Johnson blew his second consecutive save in epic fashion Saturday as the Orioles fell to the Rays.

Johnson entered with the O's leading 6-4 and promptly surrendered five earned runs on three hits and two walks. He was among the best closers in baseball last season and started off strong this year, but his past two outings have been very troubling. The Orioles may want to give him a few days of mental rest.
May 18 - 7:53 PM
Jair Jurrjens - S - Orioles

Jair Jurrjens surrendered four earned runs over five innings Saturday in the Orioles' loss to the Rays.

It was his debut for the O's and he did not look sharp. Jurrjens gave up six hits and a walk, throwing only 75 pitches (51 of which were strikes). He's not even worth stashing outside of deep AL-only leagues.
May 18 - 7:49 PM
Adam Jones - OF - Orioles

Adam Jones tallied three RBI but the Orioles lost to the Rays on Saturday at Camden Yards.

Jones hit a two-run homer in Baltimore's four-run first inning and drove in his third run in the fourth inning on a fielder's choice ground ball. The 27-year-old is on track for another sensational season.
May 18 - 7:46 PM
Brian Roberts - 2B - Orioles

Orioles transferred 2B Brian Roberts from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.

It's just a procedural move to clear a spot on the 40-man roster. Roberts underwent surgery last Thursday to repair a ruptured tendon in his right knee and is expected to be sidelined for at least the next six weeks.
May 18 - 1:37 PM
Nolan Reimold - DH - Orioles

Orioles placed OF Nolan Reimold on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 12, with a right hamstring strain.

It's the reason why Reimold was held out of the Orioles' lineup for the fifth straight day Saturday. Chris Dickerson will likely get the majority of starts at designated hitter in his absence. Given his injury history, Reimold could be looking at an extended stay on the DL.
May 18 - 1:32 PM
Jake Arrieta - S - Orioles

Orioles recalled RHP Jake Arrieta from Triple-A Norfolk.

Arrieta was scheduled to start for the Orioles' Triple-A affiliate, but will instead be called up as a reliever for Saturday's game. It's possible Arrieta could make a spot start next week for Freddy Garca or Miguel Gonzalez. The 27-year-old has a 6.63 ERA over 12 innings (four starts) at the major league level this season.
May 18 - 1:08 PM
Alex Burnett - R - Orioles

Orioles optioned RHP Alex Burnett to Triple-A Norfolk.

Burnett lasted just three days on the Orioles' roster. He'll return to a 1.50 ERA in the minors.
May 18 - 1:03 PM
Jair Jurrjens - S - Orioles

Orioles purchased the contract of RHP Jair Jurrjens from Triple-A Norfolk.

Jurrjens will make his season debut Saturday against the Rays. He posted a 3.14 ERA in eight starts at the Triple-A level and will get his chance in the Orioles' rotation with Wei-Yin Chen on the disabled list. The 27-year-old right-hander should be monitored in AL-only leagues.
May 18 - 1:00 PM
Chris Dickerson - OF - Orioles

Chris Dickerson smashed a three-run homer in a losing effort against the Rays on Friday.

After falling behind 12-4 early in the game, Dickerson's bomb off Kyle Farnsworth capped off a six-run eighth inning that pulled the O's to within 12-10. Unfortunately for them, that's as close as they'd come. The veteran outfielder has done a nice job in limited time, hitting .320/.346/.520 with a homer and six RBI in his first 25 at-bats.
