Orioles designated LHP Clay Rapada for assignment. |
He was cleared to make room for Alfredo Simon on the active roster. Rapada, 30, gets the boot after posting an ugly 7.30 ERA and 13/6 K/BB ratio over 12 1/3 innings. To be fair, he was holding left-handed batters to a .114 batting average, which suggest that he wasn't used appropriately by Orioles manager Buck Showalter. There's a chance he'll generate some interest on the waiver wire. |
