Mike Wright arrived at Camden Yards this afternoon and officially will be recalled from Triple-A Norfolk for tonight’s game against the Angels – unless he’s here to visit the Inner Harbor.
The Orioles still need to announce the corresponding roster move after optioning left-hander Jayson Aquino to Double-A Bowie. They confirmed yesterday that Pedro Alvarez came off the bereavement list to take the spot vacated by Dariel Alvarez, who was optioned to Norfolk.

Mike Wright arrived at Camden Yards this afternoon and officially will be recalled from Triple-A Norfolk for tonight’s game against the Angels – unless he’s here to visit the Inner Harbor.
The Orioles still need to announce the corresponding roster move after optioning left-hander Jayson Aquino to Double-A Bowie. They confirmed yesterday that Pedro Alvarez came off the bereavement list to take the spot vacated by Dariel Alvarez, who was optioned to Norfolk.
Ubaldo Jimenez is starting tonight in the series opener, which puts Wright in a long relief role. He figures to be the first man up if Jimenez runs into early trouble.
The Orioles scratched Wright from last night’s start at Norfolk and summoned him to Baltimore.
Dylan Bundy probably isn’t available tonight after throwing 56 pitches Wednesday in 2 1/3 scoreless innings at Dodger Stadium. Odrisamer Despaigne threw 15 pitches and Vance Worley threw 21, which likely would make them available if needed.
The off-day yesterday came in handy.
Orioles relievers combined Wednesday for nine scoreless innings in a 6-4, 14-inning win. According to STATS, it marked the second time this season that a bullpen has logged at least nine scoreless innings. The Indians totaled 13 in a 2-1 19-inning win over the Blue Jays on July 1.
The last time that the Orioles bullpen tossed at least nine scoreless was Sept. 18, 2012, when it shut out the Mariners over 12 2/3 innings in a 4-2 18-inning win at Safeco Field.
