Orioles Designate Jahmai Jones, Select Cody Sedlock

By Mark Polishuk | May 28, 2022 at 10:25am CDT

The Orioles announced a series of roster moves prior to today’s doubleheader with the Red Sox, including the news that right-hander Cody Sedlock’s contract has been selected from Triple-A.  Infielder Jahmai Jones was designated for assignment to create room on the 40-man roster, and righty Beau Sulser was optioned to Triple-A.  Additionally, right-hander Denyi Reyes was also called up as the 27th man for the doubleheader.

Jones is headed for DFA limbo just a day after the Orioles announced that the infielder underwent Tommy John surgery.  Jones became injured while in the minors, and thus couldn’t be moved to the 60-day injured list unless the O’s officially added him to the big league roster.  In designating him for assignment, the Orioles could simply be looking to remove Jones from their 40-man roster without that official call-up, and the team is betting that another club won’t make a claim on Jones given that he’ll miss the rest of the season recovering.

This will be the first Major League opportunity for Sedlock, who was selected with the 27th overall pick of the 2016 draft.  Sedlock’s progress was slowed by elbow and shoulder problems, as well as thoracic outlet syndrome, though Sedlock was able to avoid TOS surgery.  Between injuries and the canceled 2020 minor league season, Sedlock has only 371 1/3 innings under his belt over parts of six professional seasons.

Making his Triple-A debut in 2021 and continuing with Norfolk this season, Sedlock has only a 5.13 ERA over 59 2/3 innings, with a 25.75% strikeout rate and 9.1% walk rate.  Working mostly as a starter throughout his career, Sedlock could be used as a swingman or long reliever in Baltimore, depending on how the Orioles choose to juggle their pitching mix as the team navigates a busy stretch of the schedule.

      I am sure Jones will be resigned since he’s having TJ surgery, so can’t drop an injured player .. so that’s to come

      Evidently Grayson didn’t get the promotion this time around.

      I think no team will pick up JJones.. Even if he were not about to miss playing for at least the next year because of TJ, I am not sure any team would have picked him up.

    Sedlock is from my area. Played him in conference matchups. Good for him to get a chance.

        I just saw him vs the Sox at Fenway. He has nasty stuff and his delivery brutal to a right handed hitter.
        I wouldn’t mind seeing him in a Sox uniform someday. I was very impressed.
        Good luck Cody!!

    Is this an Elias “playing with house money” move? I mean what’s to lose? Around since 2016, a previous regime high draft pick, checkered minor league career due to injury and Covid. At 26 years old, he’s put in the time. Heck, give Cody his shot. Yes? Oh, and Rodriguez will be up soon enough…Hall too.

    Saw him live last year at Bowie and was surprised how live his arm looked after all the injuries, free and easy without a ton of effort in the delivery- wouldn’t be surprised if he had a decent years as swing man or one inning guy where his stuff could play up if he can stay healthy.
