The Baltimore Orioles have designated Kevin Gregg and Ryan Adams for assignment and recalled L.J. Hoes and Endy Chavez. Gregg has been used as a mop-up man all season posting a 4.74 era. Ryan Adams has played with the Norfolk Tides all season, the Orioles AAA affiliate.
I thought the Orioles might call-up L.J. Hoes after Nick Markakis went down, Hoes hit .300 in his first season at AAA. Hoes is a speedy player and can bring some excitement to the Orioles. Hoes is a local kid from Bowie.
Endy Chavez has also been called up from the Tides. Chavez has failed to hit at any level this season and will be a defensive backup. Chavez has only hit .149 at Norfolk this year.
Here are the tweets from Roch Kubatko confirming the moves.
