The Orioles activated utility man Ryan Flaherty from the 60-day disabled list and were still able to keep infielder Ruben Tejada in the organization. Tejada cleared outright waivers and was sent to Triple-A Norfolk.
The club had to add Flaherty, who has been on the disabled list since mid-May with a right shoulder strain, to its 25-man roster by Thursday after his 20-day minor league rehab window expired.
Flaherty hit .333/.500/.510 in 16 rehab games with Double-A Bowie and Class-A Norfolk.
Tejada had been used sparingly since the Orioles acquired shortstop Tim Beckham at the non-waiver trade deadline on July 31, making just two brief appearances this month amounting to two innings.
