Reliever Donnie Hart had just been summoned back to the big leagues on Monday morning, but on his drive to Baltimore from Triple-A Norfolk, the Orioles left-hander has other things on his mind.
Hart is from the Houston area, and his entire family found itself in the middle of Hurricane Harvey, which has devastated the country’s fourth-largest city and its surrounding areas with massive floods.
So on his way to Camden Yards to report for Monday night’s series opener against the Seattle Mariners, Hart was on his phone most of the time, talking to family and friends who had been affected.
