The Orioles released Baumann on Wednesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 34-year-old southpaw linked up with the Orioles on a minor-league deal March 7, but after he served up three earned runs over 1.1 innings across three Grapefruit League appearances, the organization elected to part ways with him. Baumann, who last appeared in the majors in 2018, previously announced his retirement in 2019 before reviving his career after a two-year hiatus. Now a free agent again, Baumann will have to settle for a minor-league deal with another organization if he wants to keep playing.

Baumann was designated for assignment by the Mets on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Mets needed to clear a spot on their active and 40-man roster for the return of Anthony Swarzak, and Baumann was the corresponding roster casualty. This move isn't all too surprising, as the 30-year-old allowed a whopping eight runs across three innings for the Mets this season. He'll now be subjected to waivers.

Baumann will join the Mets to offer a fresh arm out of the bullpen after starter Steven Matz (finger) lasted just three innings during Tuesday's loss to the Braves. The 30-year-old has allowed eight runs (five earned) across 2.1 big-league innings between the Padres and Mets this season, so he'll be limited to low-leverage situations during his time in the majors.
