The latest roster move this morning brings Ryan Noda to the visiting clubhouse at Wrigley Field. Noda, claimed on waivers yesterday from the White Sox, has been recalled from Triple-A Norfolk. He’s wearing No. 41. The Orioles designated infielder/outfielder Terrin Vavra for assignment. The 40-man roster has 35 players. Noda, 29, appeared in 16 game
