Outrighted to Triple-A Head was sent outright to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Impact Head pitched 28.2 innings in the majors during 2022, recording a 6.28 ERA and 1.64 WHIP in the process. After putting up even worse numbers with Norfolk -- 7.04 ERA and 1.85 WHIP -- Head will need to bounce back in a major way in the spring to have a chance of returning to Baltimore's 40-man roster.

Active at Triple-A Head (shoulder) allowed three runs on two hits and three walks with two strikeouts in one inning for Triple-A Norfolk versus Worcester on Thursday.

Impact This appearance indicates Head has been activated from the injured list. The right-hander was claimed off waivers from the Marlins earlier this week, but it appears he'll begin his tenure in the Orioles' organization at the Triple-A level. The 32-year-old had a 7.23 ERA and 1.56 WHIP across 23.2 innings with the Marlins. He'll need to show improvement in his performance to be considered for a spot in the Orioles' bullpen, which is one of the better relief-pitching groups in the majors this year.

Claimed by Orioles The Orioles claimed Head (shoulder) off waivers from the Marlins on Tuesday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact Currently on the injured list rehabbing from a shoulder injury, Head threw a scoreless inning with two strikeouts Saturday in the Florida Complex League. The righty has only been out since June 22, so he doesn't figure to need much more rehab work at the lower levels. Head has a 7.23 ERA in 23.2 innings this season, so it's no guarantee he gets opportunities with the Orioles when fully up to speed.

Slated to throw in FCL game Head (shoulder) will throw in a game with the Marlins' rookie-level Florida Coast League affiliate Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Head threw a pair of bullpens over the last several days and will be able to return to game action with a minor-league affiliate this weekend. It's not yet clear how many rehab appearances he'll require or whether he'll be able to rejoin the Marlins prior to the All-Star break.

Set for second bullpen session Head (shoulder) tossed a 19-pitch bullpen session Saturday and is scheduled to throw off a mound again Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Assuming the upcoming bullpen session goes well, Head could advance to facing live hitters at some point this weekend. Head is still expected to need a minor-league rehab assignment before returning from the 15-day injured list and may be hard pressed to make it back prior to the All-Star break.
