Andrew Politi - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Returns from IL Triple-A Worcester reinstated Politi (elbow) from its 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact Politi was immediately put to work in Tuesday's 9-4 loss to Charlotte, retiring two of the three batters he faced while serving up a two-run home run. The 28-year-old had been out of commission for Worcester for nearly six weeks due to right elbow inflammation.

Returns to Red Sox Politi cleared waivers and was returned Tuesday to the Red Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact After being selected by the Orioles in the Rule 5 Draft, Politi is back where it all started. The 26-year-old right-hander pitched to a sharp 2.34 ERA and 83:22 K:BB in 69.1 innings last season between Boston's Double-A and Triple-A affiliates. He mostly struggled in O's camp this spring.

Designated for assignment Politi was designated for assignment by the Orioles on Monday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Politi was a Rule 5 pick by Baltimore from the Red Sox, and was given a chance to win a spot in the Baltimore bullpen. He'll hit waivers, and if he goes unclaimed, he'll be offered back to the Boston organization.

Coin flip to make team Politi has a 50-50 chance to break camp with the Orioles, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Kubatko adds the Orioles have been intrigued by Politi's stuff, but he hasn't fared well in spring games with four earned runs allowed over 3.2 innings. He's posted a 7:1 K:BB and hasn't allowed a home run, so there's some reason to be optimistic. As a Rule 5 pick, Politi must be on the Orioles' major-league roster all season, or he would have to be offered back to the Red Sox. With a large number of relievers and some potential starters that won't fit in the rotation, the Orioles will likely make their decision on Politi near the end of camp.

He made 50 appearances (two starts) and converted all eight of his save chances with a 2.34 ERA, 83:4 K:BB and 0.97 WHIP in 69.1 innings. He'll now have the opportunity to earn a big-league opportunity with the Orioles.
