The 29-year-old pitcher has not yet pitched in the majors.
The Baltimore Orioles are reportedly calling up a homegrown arm. MASN reports right-handed pitcher Zach Clark, a University of Maryland, Baltimore County graduate, is en route from Triple-A Norfolk to Seattle and will be recalled by the Orioles. The Orioles are in the middle of a three-game series there against the Mariners. Clark, 29, is already on the Orioles' 40-man roster, but a move will have to be made to get him on the active 25-man roster. The pitcher signed with the Orioles in 2006 as an undrafted free agent.
