ST. PETERSBURG -- The Orioles reinstated Darren O'Day from the 10-day disabled list prior to Friday's game, a move that Baltimore hopes helps stabilize the bullpen and is the beginning of getting back on the right track.
"Darren is active and available. Haven't been able to say that in a while," manager Buck Showalter said of the veteran setup man, who was out since June 7 with a right shoulder strain. "Hope it's the start of some good consistent health for him, would mean a lot to our club."
O'Day, who was limited to 34 games due to injury last year, had a simulated game on Wednesday with no issues as the final step in his quick rehab.
