Orioles purchased the contract of 1B Travis Ishikawa from Triple-A Norfolk. Ishikawa utilized the opt-out clause in his minor league deal over the weekend, so the Orioles added him to the major league roster rather than let him go. The 29-year-old was batting .316/.413/.525 with seven home runs and 31 RBI in 49 games this season in Triple-A. He's making the start of the DH spot and could see semi-regular playing time in the short-term.
