Manon

Manon, 29, allowed three hits and two walks while striking out three. His performance should earn the Triple-A closer some extra work.

Manon, who was up for three weeks in May, had a 2.36 ERA in 42 innings of relief for Ottawa. The 33-year-old will work in middle relief.

Russ Ortiz survives once again. Manon had a 2.25 ERA for the Orioles, though that’s come with 12 walks in 12 innings. He wasn’t likely to be very useful going forward, but he was a better bet than Ortiz.

The move opens up a roster spot for Hayden Penn, who will start on Tuesday. Despite walking 10 batters, Manon allowed just three runs in eight innings for the Orioles. He’ll likely rejoin the pen at some point.

Manon had a 2.25 ERA in 12 relief appearances for the O’s earlier this season, but he and Winston Abreu were stuck in the minors recently because the club kept clinging to hope that Russ Ortiz and Bruce Chen would contribute as relievers. He’ll get more work in close games than Ortiz the rest of the way.

The 29-year-old Manon is in the majors for the first time. He had a 0.99 ERA and 12 saves in 22 appearances for Edmonton this season.

Just more veteran minor league bullpen depth for Oakland. Manon, 34, had a 5.40 ERA and a 1.95 WHIP in 20 innings with the Orioles last season.

Manon finally made his major league debut last season at age 29 and had a 4.13 ERA in 23 relief appearances for Montreal.

Manon had a 5.40 ERA and a 1.95 WHIP in 20 innings during his three stints with the Orioles this season. All three players figure to begin next season in the minors and not necessarily with the Orioles organization.
