Right-hander Steve Johnson will be among the players the Orioles add when rosters expand on Tuesday.
Johnson, a St. Paul’s graduate, was with the Orioles on Monday and will have his contract selected from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday. Johnson thought he might receive a September call-up, but he still was surprised when told in the middle of Nofolk’s game Sunday in Gwinnett, Ga., that he was heading to Baltimore Monday morning.
“I really wasn’t expecting it yesterday, so it kind of surprised me a little bit,” Johnson said. “I was hoping for a September call up. I was pitching well and I’m glad it happened.
