Manager Buck Showalter has his four-man bench for tonight’s series opener against the Yankees

The Orioles activated outfielder David Lough from the 15-day disabled list today and optioned pitcher Eddie Gamboa to Triple-A Norfolk.

Gamboa was called up to the majors for the first time in his career and sat in the bullpen for two games before returning to the Tides.

The Orioles stayed at 13 pitchers by recalling Gamboa when left-hander Wesley Wright went on the disabled list with a strained left trapezius muscle, but the arrangement was temporary.

Lough was bothered by back soreness earlier in spring training, and the hamstring injury was probably linked to it. He played in a few intrasquad games before going on his one-day rehab assignment.
