The Baltimore Orioles made a roster move on Saturday, placing outfielder Heston Kjerstad on the seven-day concussion injured list following a scary incident where he was hit in the helmet by a pitch. Originally slated to start against the New York Yankees, Kjerstad was removed from the lineup just before the game, with the team later announcing his placement on the IL. In a corresponding move, the Orioles called up outfielder Kyle Stowers from Triple-A Norfolk.
With the All-Star break looming, the Orioles also made additional roster adjustments. Starting pitcher Cade Povich was optioned to Norfolk, while right-hander Vinny Nottoli had his contract selected from the same affiliate.
