First baseman Joe Mahoney, who was designated for assignment by the Orioles earlier this week, has been claimed off waivers by the Florida Marlins.

The Orioles have added to their infield depth, acquiring 28-year-old third baseman Danny Valencia from the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday for cash considerations.

As expected, the Orioles have declined their $11 million option on first baseman Mark Reynolds for next season, but that doesn't mean that Reynolds' days in a Baltimore uniform are over.

If you would have asked me in May if there were any chance of Mark Reynolds returning to the Orioles in 2013, it would have been a short conversation. "Nope," would have been the answer.

Orioles right-hander Jason Hammel threw a brief side session from halfway up the mound before Friday¿s series opener in Boston.

Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette never revealed his specific expectations for the season when it began in April. But now his immediate goal is clear: "We're in a position now that we have the kind of ballclub that we could win the division," Duquette said Tuesday.

The Orioles are in such a strange position right now that it¿s hard to predict what they¿ll do in several areas. One is September call-ups.

The Orioles have optioned first baseman Joe Mahoney to Triple-A Norfolk to make room for left-hander Zach Britton, who will start tonight's game against the Tigers at Comerica Park.

The Orioles hope to rebound from last night's tough 5-3 loss to the Tigers here at Comerica Park.

The Orioles have placed infielder Wilson Betemit on the 15-day disabled list after an MRI taken before Thursday's game showed a small cartilage tear in his right wrist and a deep bone bruise. First baseman Joe Mahoney was called up from Triple-A Norfolk to replace Betemit on the roster.

The Orioles have called up first baseman Joe Mahoney from Triple-A Norfolk to replace injured infielder Wilson Betemit. This is Mahoney¿s second stint with the big league club this season.

The Orioles placed infielder Wilson Betemit on the 15-day disabled list with an injured right wrist before Thursday's series finale against the Boston Red Sox at Camden Yards.

When Joe Mahoney arrived in Southern California on Thursday to fill the Orioles empty roster spot created when Chris Tillman was optioned, he didn¿t know when ¿ or if ¿ he¿d see his first major-league action before the all-start break.

The Orioles could be racing to fill their roster after injuries to two key starters on Thursday. First baseman Mark Reynolds took a pitch to the outside of his left hand, but remained in the game after several minutes of being checked out by head trainer Richie Bancells.

Orioles designated hitter Chris Davis was an 11th-hour scratch from the starting lineup for Thursday¿s series opener against the Angels.

The Orioles will recall first baseman Joe Mahoney from Triple-A Norfolk to fill the roster spot created when they optioned pitcher Chris Tillman following the club¿s 4-2 win over the Mariners Wednesday, according to a club source.

Having never been on the disabled list in his career, Orioles right fielder Nick Markakis is finding it's almost as painful being away from the team as it is dealing with hamate bone surgery.

Nick Markakis was in the clubhouse sporting a bandage on his right palm/wrist to conceal the stitches from his hamate bone surgery on June 1.
