Contract selected by Baltimore The Orioles selected Vazquez's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.

He has the versatility to play multiple infield positions, with most of his reps this season coming at shortstop.

Overcomes broken thumb Triple-A Norfolk activated Vazquez (thumb) from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact Vazquez missed about two months of action due to a broken right thumb, but he's since rejoined Norfolk following a rehab assignment with High-A Frederick. After going 6-for-23 (.261) with four doubles, four RBI and two stolen bases during his assignment, Vazquez launched a solo home run in his return to the Tides on Tuesday.

JUNE 3 • ROTOWIRE

Out with broken thumb Orioles manager Craig Albernaz said Monday that Vazquez has been diagnosed with a broken right thumb, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Impact An X-ray confirmed the thumb fracture, which Vazquez suffered when he was hit by a pitch in Sunday's game against the Nationals. Vazquez also required stitches to seal a wound on his hand. A timeline for Vazquez's return will likely depend on whether or not he requires surgery, but regardless, the thumb injury removes the 26-year-old from consideration for a reserve infield role on the Orioles' Opening Day roster. Vazquez is expected to open the season on Triple-A Norfolk's injured list.
