In a season largely bereft of Orioles roster drama, Saturday’s doubleheader is providing the first set of major machinations with the pending addition of shortstop Paul Janish.

Manager Buck Showalter announced before the game that Janish would be added to the 40-man roster and will start at shortstop in the first of two games against the Oakland Athletics.
