Welcome to another edition of Camden Chat’s minor league week in review. The Orioles’ affiliates enjoyed a mostly successful week, which ended with two clubs in first place in their divisions, another O’s prospect receiving league-wide honors, and — oh yeah — the imminent returns of Adley Rutschman and D.L. Hall. So let’s get into it.
Triple-A Norfolk Tides
- This week: 3-3 vs. Durham Bulls (Rays)
- Next: at Gwinnett Stripers (6-12, Braves)
- Season record: 11-7, tied for first place in International League East
It was an inspiring week in Norfolk, where Bulls right-hander Tyler Zombro — who suffered a horrific head injury after being struck by a line drive at Harbor Park last year — made his triumphant return to a minor league mound, earning a standing ovation from both clubs.
