It’s September 1, and that means that baseball rosters have expanded. Not too long ago, this meant teams could call up as many players as they wanted from their 40-man roster, but this has been curtailed in recent years so that teams can only add two players to the roster. The Orioles made their moves on Thursday afternoon, recalling pitching prospect DL Hall from Norfolk and selecting the contract of veteran 1B/DH Jesús Aguilar.
The 32-year-old Aguilar only arrived in the Orioles organization on a minor league contract earlier this week, so if you didn’t even know he was around, that’s why.
