The Orioles are slowly trying to address some of the problem spots on their roster. After Mike Wright was designated for assignment on Sunday, the Orioles made another choice about a struggling player on Monday afternoon, optioning outfielder Cedric Mullins to Triple-A Norfolk.
In a corresponding move, the Orioles selected the contract of infielder Stevie Wilkerson from Norfolk. Wilkerson was pulled off the 40-man roster towards the end of spring training when the O’s chose to designate him for assignment to make room for catcher Pedro Severino. Now he’s back, and reliever Josh Lucas, who was optioned to the minors between games of Saturday’s doubleheader, has been DFA’d in turn.
