Orioles optioned RHP Mark Worrell to Triple-A Norfolk. | ||||||
He was cleared to make room for Vladimir Guerrero's return from the disabled list. Worrell was blasted for 13 runs on 14 hits (including three home runs) over 7 2/3 innings in two appearances with the O's and could be hard-pressed to get another opportunity in the majors any time soon. | ||||||

More than three years since his last major league appearance, Mark Worrell failed to deliver for the Orioles on Monday, surrendering three earned runs on two hits and a walk without retiring a batter. | ||||||
Certainly not the outing Worrell or the Orioles were hoping for. In tepid defense, he faced Dustin Pedroia, Adrian Gonzalez, and Kevin Youkilis -- not an easy task even for seasoned veterans. We'll see how long he's able to last at this level. | ||||||
