The Baltimore Orioles have optioned Cade Povich to Triple-A and recalled reliever Colin Selby. This comes a day after Povich’s best career start. Povich, 24, is the Orioles No. 5 prospect according to MLB.com, and has been up and down between Triple-A and MLB a couple of times this year. Selby, 26, is now on his third MLB team. This move comes so the Orioles can have some depth in their bullpen after heavy usage the previous three days. However, it does not mean Povich will not make another start. The Orioles will certainly need him again down the stretch.
