Orioles' Terrin Vavra: Reunites with O's
Rotowire
Vavra signed a minor-league contract with the Orioles on Saturday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Vavra elected to become a free agent after being DFA'd by the Mariners on Aug. 31, and he'll now return to the organization that he's spent his entire major-league career with. The 27-year-old has slashed .239/.342/.358 across 191 plate appearances at Triple-A and will likely remain in the minors for the rest of the year.

Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Goes yard in win
Rotowire
Henderson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-0 win over the Rays.
Henderson had half of the Orioles' hits in the low-scoring contest.

The star shortstop is up to a .282/.368/.543 slash line with 36 homers, 85 RBI, 108 runs scored, 17 stolen bases, 25 doubles and six triples through 140 contests this season.

Orioles' Dean Kremer: Fires six shutout innings
Rotowire
Kremer (7-9) allowed two hits and three walks over six-plus scoreless frames Friday, striking out seven and earning a win over Tampa Bay.
Kremer faced little pushback from the Rays as he coasted through six shutout innings. He loaded the bases with no outs in the seventh inning but Yennier Cano came in to put out the fire and help Baltimore throw a combined shutout. Kremer showed no lingering issues after taking a line drive off his forearm against the Rockies on Aug. 31. After an 0-5 stretch throughout most of July and August, Kremer has gone 3-0 with a 2.96 ERA over his last five outings. He now owns a 4.27 ERA over 111.2 innings this season. Kremer is in line to start in Boston next week.

Orioles' Seranthony Dominguez: Notches four-out save
Rotowire
Dominguez allowed a hit over 1.1 scoreless innings Friday, striking out two and earning a save against the Rays.
Dominguez found himself in trouble after an error in the ninth inning but he escaped the threat and preserved a 2-0 win. He's now converted all eight save chances he's received since joining Baltimore on July 26. As an Oriole, he's registered a 2.76 ERA with a 21:4 K:BB over 16.1 frames. Dominguez appears to have cemented himself as the team's leading ninth-inning option.

Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Hits off tee
Rotowire
Mountcastle (wrist) hit off a tee Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Manager Brandon Hyde said Mountcastle is making a little progress but did not offer a timeline for his return. This marks the first reported time Mountcastle has swung a bat since going on the injured list Aug. 26 due to a sprained wrist. Ryan O'Hearn has been starting at first base while Eloy Jimenez mans designated hitter most days.

Orioles' Ramon Urias: Nearing baseball activities
Rotowire
Urias (ankle) is progressing and said Friday that he's confident he'll play again before the end of the season, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
He hasn't resumed baseball activities yet, but that could happen soon, per Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com. Urias sprained his right ankle Aug. 31. The Orioles have been using a mix of Coby Mayo, Emmanuel Rivera and Nick Maton at the hot corner in Urias' absence.

Orioles' Elvin Garcia: Excels in DSL
Rotowire
Garcia slashed .294/.439/.505 with one home run, 12 steals, 27 walks and 25 strikeouts over 36 games in the Dominican Summer League.
The 17-year-old shortstop only received $500,000 from the Orioles on Jan. 15, but he came into the year with strong scouting reports and was the top prospect on his DSL team. Garcia has a projectable 6-foot-2, 165-pound frame and the anticipation is that he will grow into significantly more power than he displayed in his pro debut. He may also end up moving to third base.

Orioles' Coby Mayo: Sitting out opener
Rotowire
Mayo is not in Friday's lineup against the Rays.
Since Ramon Urias sprained his ankle Aug. 31, Mayo has made two starts at third base, with Emmanuel Rivera also getting two starts at the hot corner. Nick Maton is picking up his first start at third base for the Orioles on Friday, so the position appears to be a full-on timeshare.

Orioles' Dean Kremer: Cleared for Friday's start
Rotowire
Kremer (forearm) is listed as the probable pitcher for Friday's game against the Rays, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Kremer took a line drive off of his forearm in his start Saturday against the Rockies. It was originally expected that he would miss a turn through the rotation, but he's since thrown a bullpen session and will now be ready to go to open the Orioles' series against the Rays. Given that it's been only six days since Kremer has pitched, he should be able to handle a normal workload.

Orioles' David Banuelos: Outrighted to Norfolk
Rotowire
Banuelos was sent outright to Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Banuelos was DFA'd by Baltimore on Monday -- just a day after his contract was selected from Triple-A -- and he'll elect to remain with the organization after clearing waivers. The 27-year-old backstop has slashed .225/.360/.352 across 86 plate appearances in the minors this season.

Orioles' Cedric Mullins: Gets aboard three times in loss
Rotowire
Mullins went 2-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 8-1 loss to the White Sox.
Mullins has gone 9-for-21 (.429) with two steals, a home run and five RBI during his six-game hitting streak. The outfielder has stolen seven bases over his last 18 games, giving him 26 thefts on the year and putting him within striking distance of his third 30-steal campaign in four years. He's added a .231/.298/.398 slash line with 14 home runs, 46 RBI and 58 runs scored through 128 contests.

Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Homers for lone O's run
Rotowire
Henderson went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-1 loss to the White Sox.
Henderson led off the home half of the first inning with a 402-foot blast off Jonathan Cannon, his 35th of the year, and that would stand as the Orioles' lone run in the loss. It's the second homer in five games for Henderson, who's gone 8-for-19 in that span. The 23-year-old shortstop is now slashing .280/.367/.538 through 630 plate appearances this year with 107 runs scored, 84 RBI and 17 stolen bases.

Orioles' Albert Suarez: Falls to White Sox
Rotowire
Suarez (7-5) took the loss Wednesday against the White Sox, allowing six runs on eight hits and two walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out two.
It was a tough night for Suarez in what looked to be an enticing matchup against the White Sox. The right-hander allowed a season-high three homers, including a pair in the fourth inning. The 34-year-old Suarez had been cruising coming into Wednesday's start, allowing just four runs over 30.1 innings in his last five outings. His ERA now sits at 3.49 on the season with a 1.31 WHIP and 87:37 K:BB across 113.1 innings. Suarez will look to bounce back in his next start, currently scheduled for next week on the road in Boston.

Orioles' Heston Kjerstad: Clears concussion protocol
Rotowire
Kjerstad has cleared concussion protocol and is ramping up his activities, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
The hope is that Kjerstad will be ready to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk next week. He's been sidelined since early August following a recurrence of concussion symptoms and will likely need numerous rehab games before rejoining the Orioles.

Orioles' Dean Kremer: Throws bullpen session
Rotowire
Kremer (forearm) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Kremer has progressed more quickly than expected after exiting his last start over the weekend after a liner hit his right forearm. Orioles manager Brandon Hyde previously indicated it was unlikely that Kremer would be ready for his next turn Friday versus the Rays, but it appears it hasn't been ruled out. The club will see how Kremer feels Thursday before making a determination.

Orioles' Grayson Rodriguez: Throws bullpen session
Rotowire
Rodriguez (lat) threw a bullpen session at Camden Yards on Wednesday, Baltimore Banner Sports reports.
The right-hander got back on the mound for the first time since he was diagnosed with a strained lat nearly a month ago. Rodriguez will need to face hitters at least once before being cleared for a rehab start, but that should come soon. The 24-year-old is probably still at least a couple weeks away from a return from the 15-day injured list, however.
