Orioles reinstate Hunter Harvey; Lakins, Urias, return to Orioles; Armstrong, Waddell DFA’d

The Orioles reinstated Hunter Harvey from the 60-day injured list, and made several other moves before Friday night’s game with Cleveland.

Harvey hasn’t pitched this season due to a strained left oblique.

The Orioles also recalled right-handed pitcher Travis Lakins from Triple-A Norfolk and designated right-handed pitcher Shawn Armstrong and left-handed pitcher Brandon Waddell for assignment.

Lakins was 1-4 with a 6.75 ERA in 17 games. Armstrong, who was claimed by the Orioles in April 2019, had an 8.55 in 20 games. Waddell, who was claimed from Minnesota, pitched a scoreless inning for the Orioles in his only appearance last month.

Infielder Ramón Urias was recalled from Norfolk and infielder Pat Valaika was placed on the bereavement list.

Urias is batting .226 with a home run and six RBIs in 24 games with the Orioles while Valaika is hitting .167 with a home run and six RBIs with the Orioles

The Orioles also claimed infielder Domingo Leyba on outright waivers from the Arizona Diamondbacks and optioned him to Norfolk.

Leyba was hitless in 22 at-bats for Arizona this season.
