One of the reasons the Orioles felt comfortable trading reliever Tommy Hunter is because they felt like they had enough depth in the minors that they could replace his innings and be able to more freely shuttle pieces up and down to keep the bullpen fresh.
That theory could be tested as soon as Saturday.
Mike Wright, who was recalled from Triple-A on Friday as part of the roster shuffling caused by the trade deadline, left with one out in the fifth inning with what appears to be a left calf strain. He is getting an MRI on Saturday morning, and it’s possible he will have to go on the disabled list.
