Baltimore, MD (Sports Network) – The Baltimore Orioles acquired pitcher Bud Norris at the trade deadline and placed starter Jason Hammel on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday with a right flexor mass strain.<\/p>\n
Baltimore took a leap and acquired Norris from the Houston Astros in exchange for outfielder L.J. Hoes, pitcher Josh Hader and the O’s 2014 draft competitive balance pick.<\/p>\n
Norris, 28, went 6-9 with a 3.93 ERA in 21 starts for the Astros. He departs Houston after four-plus seasons with a 34-46 lifetime record and 4.33 ERA in 119 games, all but one as a starter.<\/p>\n
Hoes was hitting .304 in 99 games with Triple-A Norfolk this year, while Hader went 3-6 with a 2.65 ERA in 17 starts for Delmarva in the South Atlantic League.<\/p>\n
The compensation pick is in Round A, selection 2.<\/p>\n
Hammel has gone 7-8 with a 5.20 earned run average in 21 starts for Baltimore this season, but hasn’t won since July 7. His roster move is retroactive to July 29.<\/p>\n
To fill the roster spot, the O’s reinstated outfielder Steve Pearce from the 15-day DL. Pearce hasn’t played since June 19, sidelined by a left wrist injury. In 28 games this season, he hit .235 with three homers and nine RBI.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
