The Orioles have shored up their bullpen by completing a trade with Cleveland

On Saturday evening, the Baltimore Orioles completed a trade with the Cleveland Indians for right-handed pitcher Adam Plutko. In exchange for Plutko, Cleveland will receive either cash considerations or a player to be named later from Baltimore.

To make room on the 40-man roster for Plutko, the Orioles designated Yolmer Sanchez for assignment.
