EDGE Analysis

Baltimore initially dismissed Vespi from the competition for a place in the Opening Day bullpen just over a week ago, but a spot opened up Thursday with Jacob Webb (personal) going on the paternity list.

EDGE Analysis

Vespi has pitched well this spring, allowing just two runs with a 9:0 K:BB over seven innings, but that wasn't enough to crack the Opening Day bullpen. The left-handed reliever will head to Norfolk for now while waiting for another shot with the big club.

Vespi was able to focus on strength and conditioning in his offseason workouts this past winter, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

A year ago, Vespi was rehabbing from sports hernia surgery, which led to lower intensity in his workouts. The southpaw appeared in nine games with the Orioles last season, posting a 4.30 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 9:2 K:BB over 14.2 innings. He's once again competing for a bullpen job in 2024, though the Orioles have a lot of potential major-leaguers in camp, which could make his path to Baltimore a tricky one.
