The Orioles have activated Joey Krehbiel from the 15-day injured list and placed him on the active roster. Right-hander Logan Gillaspie was optioned to Triple-A to make room, per the team.
Gillaspie, 25, has made 11 appearances spanning 10 1/3 innings with a 4.35 ERA/3.23 FIP. This year is his first with big-league experience. He has also made nine appearances in Triple-A with a 3.14 ERA over 14 1/3 innings.
Krehbiel, 29, has been an active participant out of the bullpen for the Orioles this season, appearing in 22 games. He’s pitched to a 2.74 ERA, but just 4.48 FIP across 23 innings with a 16-to-8 strikeout-to-walk ratio. The Orioles claimed Krehbiel off waivers from the Rays last September.
If Krehbiel maintains his decent numbers this season he could possibly become a low cost/low risk deadline acquisition for a contending team in need of bullpen help.
Smart teams will stay away from a reliever with a 17% K-rate.
BAL may be best served holding him to let him develop a track record. He’s controllable though 2027.
Agreed. It’s time to keep the good players instead of trading them.

In the world of “if”. Imagine a healthy Means and Rodriguez (Grayson) , good bullpen , O’s in my opinion not all that far away from being a good team. Interesting to watch over next two seasons. Get rid of Hyde and we’re set to go lol
I def believe they would be at or over .500 if Means and Grayson were healthy. They are playing good ball and it is without their best pitcher and best pitching prospect
