Faulkner recently joined Triple-A Norfolk, but he's not yet a consideration for recall, Rich Dubroff of PressBoxOnline.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After beginning the campaign working out with Low-A Delmarva, Faulkner jumped aboard with the Tides early last week. Faulkner's managed four scoreless appearances, although in his only other game, the left-hander surrendered three runs while recording a single out, giving him an unattractive 6.23 ERA in the early going. Faulkner has 20 games of MLB experience for Texas, and he could make his Orioles debut in 2017 if the big-league club develops a need for a southpaw specialist.
