Parmelee was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk before for Tuesday's game against the Phillies, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports. Making his first big-league appearance this season, the 27-year-old Parmelee, who owns a .312/.381/.444 slash line in 234 at-bats for Triple-A Norfolk, will start in right field and bat sixth. The transaction is a bit surprising despite Parmelee's solid minor league results, as the Orioles already have a glut of mediocre options in the outfield. The corresponding transaction has not been announced.
