Orioles notes: Cashner heads to DL with neck strain, receives injection; Ramírez called up

The Orioles made a pair of moves Wednesday that will affect the team’s starting rotation during their final series before the All-Star break this weekend, placing right-hander Andrew Cashner on the disabled list after he received a trigger-point injection in his neck and recalling right-hander Yefry Ramírez.

Cashner received the injection, which manager Buck Showalter said he’s had in the past near midseason, on Wednesday. And Ramírez, who was optioned before Tuesday’s game after starting Game 2 of Monday’s doubleheader against the Yankees, was able to return before serving 10 days in the minors because he rejoined the team as part of a corresponding DL move.
