Orioles place Bud Norris on disabled list, call up Tyler Wilson

The Orioles have placed the ill Bud Norris on the disabled list and called up right-handed pitcher Tyler Wilson from Norfolk in his place.

A bout of bronchitis has sent Orioles starter Bud Norris to the disabled list. The team announced the move on Monday night after Norris had to miss a scheduled start over the weekend due to the illness. The O's called up minor leaguer Tyler Wilson to replace him on the roster. Wilson will be making his major league debut the first time he gets into a game.

Though Norris wasn't scheduled to pitch in the next series, the team needed to make the move because Wilson was pulled from Norfolk to Baltimore and placed on the taxi squad, meaning he had to be activated by 8pm Monday.
