Orioles summon Adams, Reimold; send Berken down
The Baltimore Orioles selected the contract of second baseman Ryan Adams and recalled outfielder Nolan Reimold from Triple-A Norfolk for their interleague game against the Washington Nationals on Friday night.
After the Orioles' 17-5 loss, reliever Jason Berken was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk. Berken allowed six runs in an inning against Washington.
The 24-year-old Adams was in the starting lineup and went 1 for 4 with a run scored while batting ninth in his major league debut. He was hitting .303 with two homers and eight RBIs for Norfolk.
Reimold was batting .237 with six homers and 22 RBIs.
Left-hander Troy Patton was designated for assignment by the Orioles before Friday's game. Patton and right-hander Chris Jakubauskas, who was optioned to Norfolk after Thursday's 13-0 loss to the New York Yankees, both pitched in the lopsided defeat.
Jakubauskas and Patton had replaced first baseman Derrek Lee (strained left oblique) and second baseman Brian Roberts (concussion) on the roster Thursday. Lee went on the 15-day disabled list and Roberts was placed on baseball's new seven-day DL for concussion-related symptoms.
