The Orioles added another young arm to their major league roster Tuesday, promoting right-hander Luis Ortiz from Triple-A Norfolk.
Ortiz, a 2014 first-round draft pick of the Texas Rangers, was acquired at July’s nonwaiver trade deadline from the Milwaukee Brewers in the Jonathan Schoop trade.
He is the second starting pitcher acquired during the Orioles’ flurry of trades to receive his first big league call-up. Left-hander Josh Rogers, who was a part of the Zach Britton deal with the New York Yankees, has made two starts.
