Regular roster shuffling has been one of the hallmarks of the Dan Duquette Orioles. With the Orioles starting rotation in disarray and fresh long relievers being needed on an almost daily basis, that has been taken to a whole new level so far this season. On a day-to-day and even week-to-week basis, it’s been hard to keep track of who is even on the team.
If you tuned out from the Orioles at all last week, you’re probably happy that you did so, because it wasn’t pretty. Here’s who has been coming and going from the roster in that time:
June 6 - Ruben Tejada selected from Norfolk; Paul Janish designated for assignment
The Orioles had acquired Tejada just two days previously, and with Tejada having an opt-out in his minor league deal, they chose to bring him up to replace Janish as the utility infielder.
