It’s been a rough year for Baltimore Orioles right-hander David Hess. In 14 appearances including 13 starts the 25-year-old has posted a 7.20 ERA and a record of 1-9.
At last, Brandon Hyde has decided to remove Hess from the rotation Rich Durbroff of Baltimore Baseball.com reported that the youngster will move to the bullpen.
Hess has not pitched since allowing four runs to the Blue Jays in the Orioles loss Wednesday night. Thus, as reported he will be available out of the bullpen starting today.
The other big news with this report is that Josh Rogers will slide into the rotation to replace Hess.
