File:Baltimore Orioles left fielder Nolan Reimold (14).jpgThe Baltimore Orioles have acquired right-handed pitcher Preston Guilmet from the Cleveland Indians in exchange for minor league outfielder Torsten Boss. The Orioles optioned Guilmet to Triple-A Norfolk.

The Orioles also have place Nolan Reimold on the 60-day disabled list to make room for Guilmet on the 40-man roster. Reimold is far from recovering from his neck surgery and has yet to resume baseball activities.

Guilmet is 26 years old and has put up very good numbers as a reliever. Guilmet has 90 career saves in the minors. It is very likely that Guilmet helps the Orioles at some point this season.

Here is the Orioles press release.
