Cody Sedlock’s major league debut had to generate some feelings of relief. The Orioles top draft choice from 2016 battled injuries and inconsistent play before eventually receiving the call last weekend.
Sedlock allowed five runs in three innings of relief, but the occasion still marked a reason for celebration. Now, with the feel-good story that accompanies any big league debut behind him, the question remains whether the 26-year-old has a future with the organization.
The Orioles optioned Sedlock and recalled Zac Lowther prior to last night’s game against Seattle. The move had little to do with Sedlock’s performance.
