Ryan Flaherty is starting at third base Tuesday against the Blue Jays. Flaherty is making the start in place of Manny Machado, who left Monday's game with a left knee injury. He's unlikely to have much fantasy value the rest of the way.

Orioles recalled INF Ryan Flaherty from High-A Frederick. Flaherty was optioned last week to clear a spot for Wilson Betemit on the active roster. He'll return to a utility role with the Orioles.

Orioles optioned INF Ryan Flaherty to High-A Frederick. The move cleared a roster spot for Wilson Betemit, who is avaialble off the Orioles' bench Tuesday for the first time this year. Flaherty should be back in September.

Ryan Flaherty went 2-for-3 and knocked in a pair of runs versus the Indians on Thursday. The Orioles have to decide whether it makes sense to keep both Flaherty and Alexi Casilla around after Brian Roberts comes off the DL. Given that Roberts is a tough guy to count on, they'd probably send down Flaherty before they risk waiving Casilla and sacrificing their depth. It's possible they'll use all three, but Flaherty probably won't have any fantasy value while Roberts is healthy.

Ryan Flaherty went 2-for-4 with a pair of homers and three RBI in Sunday's loss to the Blue Jays. It's the first two-homer game of Flaherty's career. The 26-year-old now has three longballs over his last three games, though he's still sporting an unsightly .191 batting mark.

Ryan Flaherty went 1-for-3 with a single and two strikeouts Saturday in a loss to the Blue Jays. One of the least productive hitters in the majors, Flaherty is hitting just .184 with three homers through 50 games this season. Imagine how much scarier the Orioles' offense would be if they even received league-average production at second base. His playing time could come to an end if Brian Roberts (hamstring) can avoid a setback during his rehab assignment.

Orioles recalled INF Ryan Flaherty from Triple-A Norfolk. Flaherty really struggled in his first stint with the Orioles this season, batting just .133/.228/.233 in 90 at-bats. He can be ignored in fantasy leagues.

Orioles optioned INF Ryan Flaherty to Triple-A Norfolk. A corresponding move will come on Sunday. Flaherty was hitting .133/.228/.233 in 90 at-bats this year.

Ryan Flaherty said after Saturday's loss to the Twins that his hand feels fine after being hit by a pitch. The pitch only caught half of his hand. He said that he'll be able to play on Sunday if he's in the starting lineup.

Ryan Flaherty started his second straight game at second base on Saturday afternoon. The 26-year-old batted .216 with six home runs in 153 at-bats in 2012, so it's clear the Orioles don't have great options at the keystone behind Brian Roberts. Alexi Casilla will start for the Orioles on Sunday, and manager Buck Showalter said both players will get a chance to win the job until Roberts returns. The Orioles second base position will likely be a fantasy wasteland until that time.
