Pat Valaika - Could be back for Mets seriesOrioles manager Brandon Hyde said Valaika (personal) could return from the bereavement list during the team's two-game series with the Mets that begins Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MAS...
ImpactValaika was placed on the bereavement list Friday, and he'll be able to spent up to seven days away from the team before the Orioles would have to adjust his roster status. The utility infielder sounds like he could be back well before next weekend, but Hyde isn't sure if Valaika will be an option off the bench for the start of the Orioles' five-game week. The 28-year-old is slashing .167/.214/.231 across 85 plate appearances with the big club this season.

Zac Lowther - Moves back to minorsThe Orioles optioned Lowther to Triple-A Norfolk following Sunday's 18-5 win over Cleveland, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports. Lowther covered the final two innings of the contest, gi...
ImpactBaltimore summoned Lowther from Triple-A earlier Sunday after staff ace John Means (shoulder) was moved to the injured list in a corresponding move. Due to upcoming off days Monday and Thursday, the Orioles are expected to get by with four starters until June 15 in Cleveland, so the team didn't call up Lowther to serve as a direct replacement in the rotation. Lowther would be eligible to rejoin the Orioles on June 15, so he could still be an option to start that game if Means isn't ready to return from the IL.

John Means - MRI reveals no structural damageManager Brandon Hyde said Sunday that Means' MRI revealed no structural damage to his strained left shoulder, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. The southpaw will be shut down...
ImpactAfter Means was placed on the IL with the shoulder strain earlier Sunday, the Orioles weren't willing to speculate on a timeline for his return until the results of the MRI were read. With Means' tests revealing nothing overly concerning, he looks like he'll avoid an extended absence. A firmer target date for Means' return should come into focus once he's cleared to begin a throwing program, but a late-June return to the rotation would appear to be realistic if he can avoid any setbacks during the build-up process.
