Optioned to Triple-A Fry was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Fry hadn't allowed a run since the start of May, as he had tossed five scoreless frames over his last five appearances. However, the southpaw will be sent down to make room for Rylan Bannon, who was recalled since the Orioles need an additional position player for Thursday's game against the Cardinals.

MAY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Extends scoreless streak Fry pitched 1.1 perfect innings with one strikeout in Wednesday's 10-1 loss to the Cardinals.

Impact Fry was solid in relief after an ineffective start from Spenser Watkins. Over his last five appearances, Fry has strung together five scoreless innings, allowing just two hits and a walk. It's a marked improvement in May after a very shaky April. The early struggles have left his ratios bloated -- he has a 6.00 ERA and 1.33 WHIP -- but the recent returns are encouraging even if they've been in mainly low-leverage situations.

Good to go following neck issue Fry was unavailable for the past few days due to neck spasms but is available Tuesday against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Fry last pitched Wednesday against the Athletics, throwing a scoreless inning. He owns a 5.06 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 3:4 K:BB through 5.1 innings of work this season.

APRIL 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Rough outing in non-save situation Fry allowed three runs on four hits and two walks with one strikeout in two innings during Sunday's 8-0 loss to the Rays.

Impact This wasn't a great performance for the Orioles in general, but Fry was responsible for three of the four runs the Rays put up in the seventh inning after Bryan Baker struggled. Fry is considered part of the Orioles' closer committee with Dillon Tate and Jorge Lopez, though it remains to be seen how often they'll have leads to protect. Fry struggled to a 6.08 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 60:35 K:BB in 47.1 innings last season, and he finished 2021 at Triple-A Norfolk. The southpaw will need to be more efficient at keeping runs off the board in all assignments to continue seeing high-leverage work despite being part of an inexperienced bullpen.

Avoids arbiter Fry agreed to a one-year, $850,000 deal with the Orioles on Tuesday to avoid arbitration, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Fry spent the final month of 2021 in the minors, but the Orioles still decided to tender him a contract for next season. The left-hander is coming off a poor campaign in which he had a 6.08 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 60:35 K:BB in 47.1 innings.

Fry has allowed 15 runs (13 earned), nine hits and 14 walks while striking out only four in his last 6.2 innings. The 29-year-old had been an effective reliever prior to his recent struggles, but he owns a 5.36 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 60:33 K:BB across 47 innings overall.
