The Orioles have recalled reliever Donnie Hart from Triple-A Norfolk to give the club a second left-handed bullpen arm for this weekend’s road series against the lefty-laded Boston Red Sox.
As the Orioles open a four-game series at Fenway Park, the team wanted to add another left-handed relief option to go along with Richard Bleier verses a Boston batting order that started five left-handed hitters on Thursday.
The Orioles optioned right-hander Yefry Ramirez to Triple-A Norfolk following Wednesday’s series finale against Toronto, so no corresponding move had to be made to make room for Hart.
