Gillaspie was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Gillaspie was called up by Baltimore on Thursday but will return to the minors without seeing game action. Friday's starter Kyle Bradish (shoulder) was activated from the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Gillaspie was called up from Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gillaspie will return to the Orioles' active roster for a third stint in the big leagues this season. The right-hander has produced a 4.35 ERA and 1.65 WHIP with four strikeouts over 10.1 innings in 11 appearances with the squad. Nick Vespi was optioned to Norfolk in a corresponding move Thursday.

Gillaspie was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Gillaspie pitched well during most of his time with the major-league club, but he gave up four runs on five hits and no walks in one-third of an inning during his most recent appearance. The right-hander will head back to the minors after Joey Krehbiel (shoulder) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Saturday.

Gillaspie allowed a hit and a walk with one strikeout in a scoreless inning during Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Gillaspie has kept runs off the board in eight of his nine appearances this season, and this was just the third time he's allowed multiple baserunners. The 25-year-old has pitched to a 1.00 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 3:2 K:BB and a blown save in nine innings. He's likely had a little good luck on his side so far, but he's also been effective to keep the ball in the yard and limit walks. Gillaspie will likely continue to pitch in a low-leverage role going forward.

The Orioles recalled Gillaspie from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Gillaspie is one of three right-handed relievers the Orioles will bring up for Monday's series opener with the Yankees after Baltimore needed six bullpen arms to record all 33 outs of Sunday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Rays when Spenser Watkins (elbow) exited after allowing all three batters he faced to reach base. The Orioles placed Watkins on the 15-day injured list to clear a spot on the roster for Gillaspie, who had previously been optioned to Triple-A on Saturday.

Gillaspie was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Gillaspie joined the major-league club Tuesday, and he tossed 3.2 scoreless innings over two relief appearances with the Orioles. However, he'll head back to the minors after right-hander Mike Baumann was called up Saturday.

The Orioles recalled Gillaspie from Triple-A Norfolk ahead of Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Baltimore swapped Gillaspie onto the 26-man active roster as a replacement for infielder Rylan Bannon, who was optioned to Norfolk. Between stops at Triple-A and Double-A Bowie this season, the 25-year-old Gillaspie has delivered a 3.14 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over nine relief appearances.

Gillaspie was optioned to Double-A Bowie on Sunday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gillaspie had a 5.60 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 36:8 K:BB with Bowie last season and didn't have a realistic chance of making Baltimore's Opening Day roster. He could move up to Triple-A Norfolk before long with a strong start to the Double-A campaign.
