Orioles Roster Move

By: Ben Raby
BALTIMORE- The Orioles have designated relief pitcher Ryan Bukvich for assignment, and called up righthander Greg Aquino from Triple-A Norfolk.

Bukvich was called up on June 22, but struggled in his four appearances out of the O's bullpen. In 5 1/3 innings, Bukvich gave up four earned runs (6.75 ERA), nine hits, and walked six.

Aquino struggled earlier in the year with Baltimore, posting a 14.21 ERA in six games. But he seems to have regained his form in Norfolk where he was 2-2 with nine saves and a 2.45 ERA. He also struck out 29, while walking just six.
