Orioles bring Chris Parmelee up to Baltimore on taxi squad

The Orioles have brought Chris Parmelee up to Baltimore on the taxi squad. Maybe they'll activate him tomorrow or maybe they'll let him go elsewhere.

Chris Parmelee has been raking to the tune of a .312/.381/.446 batting line for the Triple-A Norfolk Tides this season. The left-handed first baseman/outfielder has a June 15 opt-out date in his contract, which means that the Orioles need to decide whether they want to do something with him promptly.

Parmelee is definitely not in Norfolk, according to Tides beat writer David Hall, and might be kicking around Camden Yards, although MASN's Roch Kubatko says that the team has placed Parmelee on the taxi squad, meaning they have avoided the need to make a decision for another 24 hours.
