The Baltimore Orioles optioned right-hander Cam Sanders to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, July 19, just two days after recalling him ahead of the team's second-half opener against the Houston Astros on July 17. The move completes a quick turnaround for Sanders, who Baltimore acquired from the Pittsburgh Pirates for cash considerations on July 13 after Pittsburgh designated him for assignment following a trade with the White Sox.
Sanders was initially optioned to Norfolk upon joining the organization before getting the brief big-league look over the weekend. With the recall and re-option complete, he'll continue his tenure in Baltimore's system at the Triple-A level while the Orioles sort out their bullpen configuration heading into the stretch run.
