After an eventful trade deadline, emptying their bullpen and trading any player who wasn't anchored down to the roster beyond this season, there likely was going to be a time in August and September when Baltimore Orioles fans weren't familiar with the names on the transaction wire. That certainly is one way to describe the Orioles' newest addition, left-handed relief pitcher Josh Walker.
The Orioles announced on Thursday that they have claimed Walker off waivers from the Philadelphia Phillies. The Orioles already had an open spot on their 40-man roster after designating Jordyn Adams for assignment earlier this season.
