Good morning, Birdland!
The Orioles desperately need a shot in the arm. After losing two straight contests, with an off day sandwiched in-between, the Birds find themselves three games back of the Blue Jays for the AL’s final wild card spot. Considering there are 10 games against the Blue Jays still remaining on the team’s schedule there is plenty of time to make up the gap, but they won’t want it to get any bigger.
Whether that situation was the impetus or not, the Orioles front office has determined that it is officially time for Gunnar Henderson to make his way to the big leagues.
