Orioles option Cody Carroll to Triple-A Norfolk to create roster spot ahead of Josh Rogers' debut Tuesday

Reliever Cody Carroll was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk after the Orioles’ 7-0 win over the Toronto Blue Jays Monday, likely to create a roster spot for Tuesday’s starter Josh Rogers.

Both Carroll and Rogers came over from the New York Yankees on July 24 in a trade for reliever Zach Britton, and Carroll has pitched nine times for the Orioles, allowing seven runs on eight hits with nine walks and six strikeouts in nine innings.

Rogers, a 24-year-old left-hander, will be making his major league debut after five starts for the Tides since the trade.
