What's Happening?
The Baltimore Orioles have recalled pitcher Chayce McDermott from Triple-A Norfolk. McDermott has shown impressive form in the minor leagues, remaining unscored upon in 11 of his last 13 appearances since transitioning to the bullpen in late July. The 27-year-old pitcher has previously struggled in the major leagues, holding a 7.71 ERA in two starts and one relief appearance. His recent performance in the minors suggests potential for improvement and contribution to the Orioles' pitching staff.
Why It's Important?
McDermott's recall is significant for the Orioles as it provides them with an additional pitching option, potentially strengthening their bullpen. His recent success in the minors indicates that he may have addressed some of the issues that led to his earlier struggles in the majors. For McDermott, this recall represents an opportunity to prove himself at the major league level and secure a more permanent role with the team. His performance could impact the Orioles' pitching strategy and depth, especially as they navigate the remainder of the season.
