Paul Janish joining Orioles from Norfolk for Tuesday's game

The Orioles bench is short an infielder with J.J. Hardy on the disabled list. They're fixing that for a few days at least by adding shortstop Paul Janish from Norfolk while Steve Clevenger is on paternity leave.

Steve Clevenger is soon going to be a dad. Maybe he can get hot like Caleb Joseph so that his baby can also eat. As Clevenger hits the paternity list for a few days, that means there's room for another player, and the Orioles, you may have noticed, could probably use a backup infielder who can handle second or shortstop in a pinch.
