    Orioles placed LHP Kirk Birkins on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to July 30, with left elbow neuritis.
    Birkins had given up seven runs in his last four appearances, taking his ERA from 3.07 to 4.94. Julio Manon will replace him in the bullpen.

  • TB Relief Pitcher
    Kurt Birkins, rehabbing a sore elbow, struck out four in two scoreless innings of relief for Double-A Bowie on Thrusday.
    Birkins could come off the DL and rejoin the Baltimore pen on Sept. 1.

    Kurt Birkins pitched four hitless innings in relief of Kris Benson on Wednesday night.
    Berkins has allowed just one run and three hits in 12 2/3 innings since being called up on May 2. It’s something of a fluke, but he could get a look as a starting pitcher at some point.

    Orioles recalled LHP Kurt Birkins from Triple-A Norfolk.

  • TB Relief Pitcher
    Orioles recalled LHP Kurt Birkins from Triple-A Norfolk.
    Birkins had a 3.18 ERA in 12 starts and one relief appearance for Norfolk. He’ll be available in middle relief until the Orioles need to replace Steve Trachsel in the rotation, likely with Garrett Olson.
  • TB Relief Pitcher
    The Orioles will start Kurt Birkins on Saturday rather than expected starter, Victor Zambrano.
    Manager Dave Trembley decided to go with Birkins because he is more “stretched out” and has the potential to pitch longer into the game.
  • NYY Relief Pitcher
    The Orioles have scratched Victor Zambrano from his scheduled start Saturday and will go with Kurt Birkins instead.
    Zambrano, who was acquired five days ago, apparently isn’t ready to pitch in a game.
