Alfredo Simon will start Friday against the Angels. Simon was activated from the restricted list Tuesday after attending a hearing in the Dominican Republic on Monday regarding his manslaughter case. He allowed two runs over seven innings in his last start Saturday night against the Indians, but he doesn't come recommended in fantasy leagues. Brad Bergesen will get the ball Saturday.

Alfredo Simon is expected to rejoin the Orioles on Tuesday. Simon, who is currently on the restricted list, attended a hearing Monday in the Dominican Republic regarding his manslaughter case. He is already on the way back to the United States and a source tells Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun that it's "highly unlikely" he will have to go back before the end of the season. He has yet to be formally charged or cleared in the shooting death of Michel Esteban Castillo.

Orioles placed RHP Alfredo Simon on the Restricted List. He left the team Sunday to attend a hearing in the Dominican Republic regarding his manslaughter case.

Alfredo Simon is tentatively scheduled to start Saturday against the Red Sox. The only way he won't make the start is if he is needed in relief Friday night. Simon would take the place of struggling right-hander Chris Jakubauskas, who has a 6.91 ERA over six starts this season.

Alfredo Simon will have to leave the Orioles on July 17 for a July 18 hearing in the Dominican Republic regarding his manslaughter case. The O's are hoping he'll be back by July 19, but it's no guarantee. Simon is also a candidate to make a start over the weekend, possibly on Saturday or Sunday. That means Chris Jakubauskas will probably be booted from the rotation.

Orioles activated RHP Alfredo Simon from the 15-day disabled list. As expected. Simon struck out three over two innings in his lone rehab appearance Sunday with Double-A Bowie, which was apparently enough to convince the O's that he's healthy and ready to go. The 30-year-old right-hander will return to a long-relief role.

Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Tuesday that "it's more likely than less likely" that Alfredo Simon (hamstring) will return from the disabled list Wednesday. We were under the impression that Simon would be activated prior to Tuesday's game, but the O's have sent him to Class A Frederick for another rehab appearance. If all goes well, we should expect him back Wednesday.
