Orioles reset: Bullpen turnover continues as Brandon Hyde seeks growth from relievers

In an Orioles bullpen that has faced plenty of turnover one month into the 2019 campaign, Sunday marked perhaps a record day of change.

Along with flipping Austin Wynns for Jesus Sucre at catcher and placing starter Alex Cobb on the injured list for the third time, the Orioles made moves involving four relief pitchers, seeking a salve for a bullpen worn down by heavy usage and continued abuse from opposing batters.

A day after allowing three home runs in two innings, Jimmy Yacabonis was optioned as right-handers Branden Kline and Luis Ortiz joined the major league bullpen.
