Orioles Select Asher Wojciechowski, Designate Matt Wotherspoon

By Jeff Todd | July 2, 2019 at 12:34pm CDT

The Orioles announced today that they have selected the contract of just-acquired hurler Asher Wojciechowski. He’ll take the roster spot of fellow right-hander Matt Wotherspoon, who was designated for assignment.

In other roster machinations, the Baltimore organization reinstated righty reliever Josh Lucas from the 10-day injured list. To create space, the team optioned Tom Eshelman, who took a spot start for the club yesterday.

The O’s had selected Wotherspoon to the roster in late June, but he was tagged for eight earned in just 4 2/3 innings over two appearances. He’s through 34 1/3 innings of 4.93 ERA ball at Triple-A, where he carries 10.8 K/9 and 3.0 BB/9.

    Wotherspoon will probably ride the DFA train 4 more times this year. I’m sure we’ll see him again.

    Wojciechowski had really good surface numbers in AAA for Cleveland (8-2, 3.61 ERA) but peripherals suggest he was way lucky. His xFIP was 5.81, FIP was 5.51, Due to a .226 BABIP and uninspiring K (8.72) and walk (3.30) rates per 9.

    Eshelman Had a real good game last night and Wojo Was fine tonight. The defense let him down a little bit But I think he earned another start.

      Well we certainly have room for them. Particularly if Cashner finds himself traded. If Elias gets offered something enticing I have to believe he’d bite.
