Janish has been recalled from Triple-A Norfolk, Roch Kubatko of MASN reports.

With Steve Clevenger placed on the paternity list Tuesday, Janish will come up from Norfolk to fill the vacant roster spot. Janish is hitting .235/.313/.272 with 21 RBI in 95 Triple-A games on the year, and he has not appeared in an MLB game since 2013, when he was a member of the Braves.

Janish was reassigned to minor league camp Friday, MLB.com reports.

Janish got a late start this spring after undergoing elbow surgery, and only appeared in 10 games with the Orioles. He is expected to serve as the regular shortstop for Triple-A Norfolk.

Janish (elbow) went 1-for-3 with a single and two RBIs in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game.

Janish played in his third game of spring training and he is 2-for-7 at the plate. The Orioles have spoken highly of him defensively, but there probably is not enough room for him on the MLB roster this spring. He appears set to head to Triple-A.

Janish (elbow) is doing all baseball activities and took batting practice Thursday, MASN SPorts reports.

Janish hopes to get into spring training games in the next week or so. It appears likely Janish will fall behind Ryan Flaherty and Everth Cabrera on the depth chart and begin the season at Triple-A.

Janish (elbow) is taking ground balls daily and he is targeting game action on March 20 or 21, MASN Sports reports.

If Janish can meet his March 20 or 21 deadline, he should be in good shape to be healthy for Opening Day. Still, there is a strong likelihood that Janish will serve as organizational depth even when healthy.

Janish (elbow) will take ground balls Tuesday, MASN Sports reports.

It looks like there is a 50/50 chance Janish will be ready for Opening Day, if he can make the roster. He would need to overcome Ryan Flaherty and Jayson Nix, which does not seem likely considering Janish has a best case scenario of playing in just a couple spring training games. Tuesday will mark Janish's first baseball activities as he recovers from elbow surgery two weeks ago.

Janish had surgery to remove bone chips from his right elbow earlier this week and he will be out six-to-eight weeks, according to MASN Sports.

Janish was a deep sleeper candidate to win a utility infield job with the Orioles this spring. He has 431 MLB games to his name, but Janish spent all of 2014 at Triple-A while hitting .268/.323/.359. Janish is known for his glove and not his bat. The Orioles now look at Triple-A as a foregone conclusion if Janish accepts the assignment.

Janish signed a minor league contract with the Orioles on Friday that includes an invite to spring training, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

Janish started last season in the Rockies organization but struggled and was released. He later signed a minor league deal with the Royals, and finished the season strong, batting .314/.375/.438 with two home runs and 17 RBI at Triple-A Omaha. With J.J. Hardy already solidified at shortstop, Janish's sites will likely be set on a bench spot out of spring training.

Janish received an invite to spring training, where he'll compete for a bench spot. The veteran wears a vacuum as a glove, but he can't hit a lick. He posted a .723 OPS in 2010 with the Reds, but never cracked a .601 mark in any of his five other seasons.

Paul Janish suffered a broken nose during a weight-lifting accident on Friday.

But he isn't in any pain and has been cleared to play through the injury. "It was a freak deal," said Janish. "I've had some stitches, but it's not bad. It doesn't affect anything so long as I don't get hit in the nose again." He has not made an appearance yet in the NLDS.

Paul Janish is expected to serve as the Braves' primary second baseman while Dan Uggla is on the disabled list.
