DFA'd after big-league debut Jannis was designated for assignment by the Orioles on Friday.

Unimpressive in major-league debut Jannis allowed seven runs on eight hits and four walks while striking out one over 3.1 innings in a 13-0 loss to Houston on Wednesday.

Impact The 33-year-old knuckleballer was hit hard by Houston, allowing three home runs in his major-league debut. Jannis was called upon for a multi-inning assignment after starter Thomas Eshelman also labored through four innings. Jannis is unlikely to see much, if any, high-leverage work while in the majors.

Contract selected by Orioles Jannis' contract was selected by the Orioles on Tuesday.

Impact The 33-year-old knuckleballer will finally get the chance to make his big-league debut after toiling for over a decade in the minors. He recorded a 2.92 ERA in 24.2 innings for Triple-A Norfolk this season, though both his 13.0 percent strikeout rate and 10.0 percent walk rate were unimpressive. He'll likely fill a low-leverage relief role for now. Mac Sceroler was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.
