Orioles Claim Josh Walker
Briefly

Josh Walker, a left-handed pitcher, was claimed off waivers by the Baltimore Orioles from the Philadelphia Phillies. The Orioles immediately optioned Walker to Triple-A Norfolk. The Orioles had a 40-man roster vacancy after outrighting outfielder Jordyn Adams a few days earlier, so no corresponding 40-man move was necessary. The Philadelphia Phillies designated Walker for assignment earlier in the week prior to the claim. Additional roster moves or details may follow as the teams finalize assignments and manage their 40-man and minor-league rosters.
