Hellickson was traded to the Orioles on Friday, Jon Heyman of FanRagSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran right-hander provides much-needed depth to a beleaguered Orioles' rotation, most likely taking the place of Ubaldo Jimenez or Chris Tillman, both of whom have struggled mightily this season. Hellickson hasn't been particularly impressive in his own right recently, racking up a 6.04 ERA over his last four outings to raise his FIP to an ugly 5.50 on the season. Nonetheless, he provides an seasoned starter who can eat up innings in the long run, even though his 1.76 HR/9 could pose a problem in the hitter-friendly confines of Camden Yards.
