First year reliever Bierd is going to be out of commission for 45 days with shoulder soreness.  In fact, he’ll take a couple weeks without throwing a pitch and will then rehab from there.  Bierd was one of the more solid options out of the Oriole bullpen.  The call-up to replace him has not been announced, but I would assume it will be another right handed reliever from Norfolk.

Greg Aquino Clears Waivers

Following his release and time on the waiver wire, reliever Greg Aquino went unclaimed so winds up in Norfolk.  Aquino needs some time to work out the kinks and regain his command, but no one else in the league jumped at the chance to claim him.

No Loewen News

Updates on Loewen have been vague and few.  I know I keep saying the same thing, but it’s all I’ve got:  bone scan was clean and no one knows exactly what’s wrong so he’s visiting with his surgeons again.

Yankees Minor Leaguer Suspended 50 Games (No Oriole Content/NOC)

In non-Oriole but AL East news, 20 year old Yankee pitching farmhand Angel Reyes was suspended 50 games for violating the minor league banned substances policy by testing positive for stanozolol metabolites.  Angel has been touted as one of the Yankees top long-term left handed starter prospect with a high ceiling and has elicited comparisons to Bedard.  A quick Google search also revealed that Angel Reyes, III (presumably no relation) is also a lawyer specializing in Complex Pharmaceutical Litigation.  Highlight this for a potential Angel Reyes crossover opportunity.
