Because they wanted to add a fresh arm to the bullpen, the Orioles officially demoted right-hander Tyler Wilson to Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday to make room for righty reliever Oliver Drake.
Wilson, 25, made two appearances for the Orioles after being recalled on Monday’s day off. He pitched a scoreless inning Wednesday in his major league debut and allowed one run in one-plus innings Friday when he recorded his first major league win.
The Orioles had two consecutive short starts from their rotation, so an extra bullpen arm was needed.
Overall, Wilson, a former University of Virginia pitcher, allowed five hits, no walks and one run in two innings.
