A day after their bullpen surrendered five more home runs, the Orioles made a series of moves ahead of Sunday’s series finale against the Minnesota Twins.
Catcher Austin Wynns and right-handers Branden Kline and Luis Ortiz were recalled from Triple-A Norfolk as the team tries to avoid a second sweep by the Twins in eight days. To make room on the 25-man roster, right-hander Alex Cobb was placed on the injured list for the third time this season and for the second time with a lower back strain, while right-hander Jimmy Yacabonis was optioned to Norfolk and catcher Jesús Sucre was designated for assignment.
