BOSTON — The Baltimore Orioles added to their roster simply previous to taking the sphere at Fenway Park for his or her collection finale in opposition to the Boston Crimson Sox on Thursday.
The Orioles added pitching depth by buying and selling for veteran reliever Yohan Ramirez from the New York Mets in alternate for money issues.
Baltimore will probably be Ramirez’s sixth group in his five-year MLB profession. He didn’t get off to robust begin this season with the Mets, permitting seven runs on 9 hits in 5 1/3 innings.

The Orioles have a younger and gifted roster, however pitching is likely to be a little bit of a weak spot in comparison with their lineup. It certain isn’t useful to Baltimore that All-Star nearer Felix Bautista is out for the season attributable to Tommy John Surgical procedure. Craig Kimbrel took his place as Baltimore’s nearer.
